LOTS OF UPDATES ON SUNDAY'S MASKED MANIA iPPV IN PHILADELPHIA

By Mike Johnson on 2014-04-23 09:11:10
As noted yesterday on PWInsider.com, the Masked Mania event being promoted by Kevin Kleinrock and Masked Republic this Sunday at the former ECW Arena in Philadelphia, PA is still set despite the Extreme Rising cancellation.

The fact the show is still taking place is something of a small miracle as Kleinrock and Republic had to scramble to make last minute deals with the venue, find a ring, and get all sorts of other logistical things accomplished - with five days to go until the show - that were originally supposed to be handled by Rising as part of the weekend triple-shot of events. All of that was at great additional expense to Kleinrock and Republic as their show was not budgeted for expenses that Rising was originally slated to cover.

All of the Lucha talent originally advertised will be appearing as scheduled as Republic had already taken care of their flights and travel information. However, some of them are now looking for additional bookings this weekend as they have holes in their schedule due to the Rising cancellations. If any promoters are interested, email me and I'll connect you with Masked Republic.

There may be some changes on the undercard as Northeastern indy talents that were booked via Rising may or may not still appear. Kleinrock and Republic hopes to have all the talent issues sorted out today.

Masked Mania will be first-ever Lucha Libre show in Philadelphia, PA. It will still be streamed live on iPPV via www.highspots.com and will feature:
