LECANTO - Some of professional wrestling's biggest names and a pair of Tampa Bay Buccaneers are scheduled to appear at a fundraiser Saturday night to benefit a Citrus County facility for abused children.

Florida Championship Wrestling, a part of Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Entertainment, is promoting the event where former WWE tag-team champions Deuce & Domino are scheduled to appear with manager Cherry.
