Ron Hutchison • June 11, 2024

An intimate look at "The Greatest Wrestler On God's Green Earth" through the eyes of his family

Following the tremendous success of last year's seminar featuring the wives and daughters of professional wrestlers, the CAC Learning Series returns with another can't-miss event for wrestling enthusiasts and historians alike. This year, we're thrilled to announce a seminar that delves deep into the life and legacy of one of wrestling's most iconic champions. "The Greatest Wrestler on God's Green Earth",  2006 Iron Mike Mazurki award winner, Harley Race.


Justin Race, son of the legendary 8-time National Wrestling Alliance World Heavyweight Champion and the champs' ex-wife, Evonna Hedbavny Race, will be spotlighted in an unforgettable chat titled "Stories from the Mat: An Intimate Conversation with the Family of Harley Race."


Be in Salon D at the Plaza as Justin and Evonna take us on a journey through their unique, fascinating and sometimes sad life with one of the most respected in-ring tacticians of all time. Hear firsthand what it was like growing up as the son of Harley Race, and Evonna's recollections of her life with the champ. From the thrilling highs to the challenging lows, Justin and Evonna will share candid stories with fellow CAC members.


The conversation will be expertly guided by the CAC's 2021 James C. Melby award-winning journalist, Greg Oliver. An esteemed author and journalist, Greg Oliver is the creator of Slam Wrestling and the man behind the pen for most of the articles in our fabulous banquet programs. He has an unparalleled depth of knowledge and passion for wrestling history. His keen insights and engaging interview style will ensure that the Race family's heartfelt recollections and family anecdotes provide riveting insights and memorable moments for all attendees.


This seminar is a must-attend event for anyone passionate about professional wrestling history and the personal stories behind the legends. Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to hear firsthand from Justin and Evonna Hedbavny Race and gain a deeper understanding of one of the toughest world heavyweight champions of all time.


It's all part of the exciting 58th annual reunion of the Cauliflower Alley Club to be held at the Plaza Hotel and Casino in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada. If you haven't purchased your 2024 reunion tickets on our website yet, what are you waiting for?
