Check out this story the Augusta Chronicle ran prior to a WWF event in Augusta in 1999:

So you thought the World Wrestling Federation would send its second-rung talent to Augusta?
It doesn't matter what you think!
That's right, the Rock, along with WWF superstars Chris Jericho, Kane, the Big Show, Val Venis, the Godfather, Hardcore Holly, Jeff Jarrett and D'Lo Brown, are scheduled to appear on Saturday, Sept. 25, at the Augusta-Richmond County Civic Center.
About the only big name WWF grapplers not scheduled are ``Stone Cold'' Steve Austin, Mankind, Triple H, X Pac, the Road Dogg, the Undertaker and ``Mr. Ass'' Billy Gunn.
The ``official'' card from WWF headquarters lists the following matches:
The Rock vs. Jericho, who recently defected from rival league World Championship Wrestling. This feud has been brewing ever since golden-maned Jericho, the self-proclaimed Y2J problem, burst on the WWF scene a few weeks ago, interrupting the Rock as he held court.
Kane vs. ``The Big Show'' Paul Wight. These are two very, very big men. What they lack in personality they make up for in sheer wallop.
The Brood, the Acolytes and the Hardy Boyz square off in a three-team tag match. All kinds of history here: the Brood and Acolytes used to be minions of the Undertaker; the Hardy Boyz joined former Brood member Gangrel to form the New Brood; yada, yada, yada.
Former Ultimate Fighting Championship fighters Ken Shamrock and ``The Lethal Weapon'' Steve Blackman are scheduled for a knockout or submission bout. Can anyone say Kindo stick?
D'Lo Brown vs. Jeff Jarrett for the Intercontinental Title. Where are the puppies?
Jackie vs. Ivory for the WWF Women's title. ``Ebony and Ivory live together in perfect harmony.'' Hey Paul and Stevie, not this time, pals!
The Godfather vs. Gangrel.
Chaz (with valet Marianna) vs. ``Hardcore'' Bob Holly. Hardcore has emerged as one of the funnier characters in recent months, proclaiming his 240-pound self the best of the ``superheavyweights'' and subsequently getting numerous beatdowns from the big boys in that division. He might get to win this one against the artist formerly known as a Headbanger.
There is of course, no guarantee these performers will actually show up and these matchups will go on as scheduled. In tiny print at the bottom of the card, it says ``card is subject to change.'' Furthermore, Mankind (Mick Foley) and Chyna, not listed on the card, are being advertised on local radio spots.
In any event, the prospects are exciting.
Tickets, available at the civic center box office and at TicketMaster outlets, are $15, $25 and $30. Call 828-7700. The show starts at 5 p.m.
