EXTREME REUNION TO PRESENT LARGEST INDEPENDENT PRO WRESTLING LIVE
EVENT IN PHILADELPHIA, PA IN A DECADE
MARCH 1, 2012 - Extreme
Reunion will present their professional wrestling convention and live event at
the Pennsylvania National Guard Armory, Saturday, April 28, 2012 in Northeast
Philadelphia. Extreme Reunion will be the largest event of its kind in the area
over the past decade.
Extreme Reunion will reunite alumni of the ever popular
professional wrestling company, Extreme Championship Wrestling (E.C.W.) as they
pay homage to the past, and look forward to restarting a type of wrestling
company that has not been seen since the original E.C.W. went out of business in
2001 and purchased by the WWE.
Talent confirmed for Extreme
Reunion include “The Franchise†Shane Douglas, Raven, Sabu, Al Snow w/head,
Justin Credible, Rhino, Jerry Lynn, The Blue Meanie, The Full Blooded Italians
(Little Guido, Tony Mamaluke, and Tracy Smothers), The Original Gangstas (New
Jack and Mustafa), Axl Rotten, Balls Mahoney, CW Anderson, PG-13, and more to be
announced*.
Years after E.C.W. closed, the popularity of the brand
carried on as Vince McMahon’s WWE released the very successful “Rise and Fall of
ECW†documentary DVD in 2004, followed by a 2005 ECW reunion Pay Per View event
“One Night Standâ€. That same year ECW originals, independent from the WWE,
promoted “Hardcore Homecoming†wildly successful reunion shows with their debut
at the original ECW venue in South Philadelphia, drawing more than the original
company ever did in that building. The company also released very popular DVDs
of the events and documentary. Finally in 2010, TNA wrestling brand (seen on
Spike TV) presented their version of an ECW reunion show as part of their
“Hardcore Justice†Pay Per View event which drew the promotion’s best numbers in
years, quadrupling their normal monthly buy rates.
With the announcement
of Extreme Reunion, the response from the fans has been overwhelming, and
tickets for this event are selling very quickly. Extreme Reunion will ignite a
revolution in pro wrestling to give fans old and new what they have been longing
for. From entertaining, non-PG, multi-layered storylines presented with athletic
professional wrestling and characters, to the Rocky Horror-like audience
participation. The fan base that supports the extreme brand is extremely loyal
and rabid, willing to travel hundreds of miles to events, search out TV shows,
DVDs, and ancillary products that invoke and support the Extreme brand and
talent. To say the fans are passionate is an understatement.

Reunion will take place Saturday, April 28, 2012 at the Pennsylvania National
