Maniacal Mark is a charter member of PLW.  He has attended all eighteen Power-Fests but has only wrestled on twelve (he currently works as a PLW television commentator).  In his twelve matches, Mark has won five, lost six, and participated in a battle royal.  His first Power-Fest match was at the inaugural event;  a lumberjack match against "The Fighter" Joe O.  His feud with former friend, the Macho Kid, included matches in 1995 and 1996.  And at consecutive Power-Fests, Mark and Don Juan de Santo defeated the Pillars of Power to win the PLW tag team titles.  At Power-Fest 2000, he retained the New England title in a ladder match against Derek Molhan.

The Pillars of Power are the most successful tag team in PLW history.  Sub-Zero and Exterminator have won the tag team titles four times (a PLW record).  They are known for domination and strength in the ring.  But their record at Power-Fest is a near opposite of their career winning percentage:  one win and four losses.  And to make matters worse, three of the losses cost them the tag team titles. It should be noted that the other loss was from a tag team gauntlet match consisting of eight tag teams.  Sub-Zero sustained a head injury during that match when he misjudged a leap and flew over the top rope and down head-first to the floor.

T.J. Richter has one of the best winning percentages among those who have wrestled at a minimum five Power-Fests.  His record is seven wins, three losses and one draw (.681)  At his first, in 1993, he competed under his Cain the Executioner identity and won the now-defunct PLW European title.  In 1996, he defeated Amazin' Jay for the PLW championship.  Richter's two losses were in matches to crown New England champions.  At Power-Fest 99 he lost to Dr. Heresy in a tournament final match.  And at Power-Fest 2006 he lost to Duke Maximum in a match of the top two contenders for the vacant title.

Shane Simons has wrestled on nine Power-Fests, mostly in matches with special stipulations or rules.  His first match was the first ever Power-Fest match.  In 1992 he participated in a six-man tag.  In 1993 he defeated his former tag team partner, Dutch Davidson, in a "bunk house brawl" to regain the PLW New England title.  At Power-Fest 99 he lost to Junkyard James in a junkyard match, a match in which a trash can and its lid where legal weapons.  At Power-Fest 2004 Simons teamed with Chris Matthews in a flag match.  They defended the Star Spangled Banner and their opponents, Paul Lauzon and Jason "the Slasher", were represented by the Jolly Roger.  Simons was the last wrestler to be eliminated in the Pier 8 Brawl at Power-Fest 2002, which was won by Dr. Heresy.  One of his regularly sanctioned bouts was at Power-Fest 2000, against ECW/future WWE superstar Little Guido.  Simons had another ECW/future WWE superstar, Spike Dudley, in his corner.  His overall record at Power-Fest:  four wins and six losses.
