The move comes after Hamilton brought wrestling legend Ric Flair out for a home playoff game and the Calgary Stampeders honoured Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart last season.
A message from @WWERomanReigns!
Did we mention that we’re doing $99 3-ticket packs for the game (in honour of the 99 he wore as an Eskimo) and all who purchase the pack will be entered to win one of five signed Joe Anoai Eskimo Jerseys!
