CORONA — Let's get ready to rumble!

The lords of professional wrestling will strut their spandex-clad stuff at the home of the Mets in June — for the first time in nearly three decades.

The Legends of Wrestling — featuring 30 legendary wrestlers including Bret "The Hit Man" Hart and Ric "Nature Boy" Flair — will come to Citi Field on Sunday, June 7 for an all-day festival.

The wrestlers will give autographs and participate in question-and-answer sessions in the field's event spaces, with photo opportunities throughout the day.

The main event will include a round of fights in the ring — set up right on second base — with legends including The Nasty Boys and Hacksaw Jim Duggan.

There will be six matches.

Tickets go on sale Feb. 27 at 10 a.m. and start at $25, with more expensive options for VIP experiences including private meet-ups with a legend in the ring.
