There is only one Dennis Rodman, and he is heading to Puyallup. Please welcome an NBA Hall of Fame 5x Champion basketball legend who was one of the greatest rebounders and defenders to ever play the game... and a pop culture icon with a larger-than-life personality to the first ever Rewind Washington convention on Sunday, March 29th in Puyallup.
Affectionately known as "The Worm," Dennis Rodman dominated the NBA with unmatched tenacity. Drafted by the Detroit Pistons in 1986, he helped the "Bad Boys" win back-to-back championships in 1989 and 1990, earning two NBA Defensive Player of the Year awards (1990, 1991), seven consecutive rebounding titles (1992–1998), and spots on the NBA All-Defensive First Team multiple times.
He was traded to the Chicago Bulls in 1995 and teamed up with Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen to secure three straight titles (1996–1998), including the historic 72-win season. A two-time All-Star and member of the NBA 75th Anniversary Team, Rodman was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2011.
Rodman had a brief pro wrestling career when he joined WCW's nWo in 1997, he teamed with Hulk Hogan for high-profile tag matches. He wrestled Randy Savage in a singles bout and tallied four total matches from 1997-2000.
Beyond the court and ring, Rodman's flamboyant style and charisma carried him into acting and media. He starred in action films like Double Team (1997) opposite Jean-Claude Van Damme and Simon Sez (1999), appeared in Cutaway (2000), and had cameos in projects such as B.A.P.S., The Simpsons (voice), 3rd Rock from the Sun, Baywatch, and The Minis. He hosted his own MTV series The Rodman World Tour (1996) and popped up in reality shows, including winning Celebrity Mole. His wild persona has made him a pop culture icon, from wrestling with Hulk Hogan to unforgettable off-court antics.
Pro Photos and Autographs will go on sale Thursday March 12th at 5pm.
Meet Dennis Rodman on Sunday at Rewind Washington. He will be with us for a limited time signing autographs and taking pro photos at the show. Tickets for Rewind Washington are on sale now at rewindwashington.com

Get out the Rye Bread and Mustard, it is time to REWIND to a Seattle icon and bring the greatest Designated Hitter of all time to Puyallup. Please welcome MLB Hall of Famer Edgar Martinez to the first ever Rewind Washington convention on March 28th.
Known affectionately as "Gar" or "Papi," Edgar Martínez is widely regarded as one of the greatest designated hitters in Major League Baseball history and a Seattle icon. He spent his entire 18-year career with the Seattle Mariners from 1987 to 2004. Edgar posted a career .312 batting average, .418 on-base percentage, and .515 slugging percentage over 2,055 games. He amassed 2,247 hits, including a franchise-record 514 doubles, 309 home runs, 1,261 RBI, and 1,283 walks.
Edgar earned seven All-Star selections, five Silver Slugger Awards, and two American League batting titles (1992 and 1995). In 1995, he led the AL with a .356 average and 121 runs scored, while topping the majors in doubles (52), OBP (.479), and OPS (1.109), finishing third in MVP voting and powering the Mariners to their first AL West title. His iconic "The Double" in Game 5 of the 1995 ALDS against the Yankees—a clutch two-run hit that sent Seattle to the ALCS—remains one of baseball's most memorable moments, helping secure a new stadium for the franchise. He also led the AL in RBI with 145 in 2000 and won the Outstanding Designated Hitter Award five times (the award now bears his name).
In 2019, Edgar was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame with 85.4% of the vote, cementing his legacy as a Mariners icon and one of the purest hitters of his era.
Pro Photos and Autographs will go on sale Thursday March 12th at 5pm.
Meet Edgar Martinez on Saturday morning at Rewind Washington. He will be with us for a limited time signing autographs and taking pro photos at the show before he heads up to the Mariners game that evening. Tickets for Rewind Washington are on sale now at rewindwashington.com

Please welcome Jason Griffith to the Washington State Gaming Expo in Puyallup on March 28-30.

In 2003, Griffith began extensive work as a voice actor.
