Papadon on Mysterio

As noted in recent weeks, Extreme Rising will return to Philadelphia, PA at the former ECW Arena on 12/28. The promotion has been making regular updates about ticket sales to the show on their Facebook and it appears the venue will be set up with 11 rows, many of which have sold out as well as general admission standing. It is the first event in the venue for wrestling in several years following the legal fallout of leaseholder Joanna Pang being removed from the venue.

An afternoon Fanfest will precede the show and there's talk of some sort of Friday event as well, although nothing has been confirmed. The promotion is looking to film as much material as possible for their new TV series, which will debut on 1/1/14 in the Philadelphia market. We are told the station is an over the air station that most locals will immediately recognize when it is announced, which may come as early as Monday.

Set for the show:

*Extreme Rising champ Stevie Richards vs. TBA.

*Rhino vs. Crowbar

*Matt Hardy with Reby Sky vs. Luke Hawx.

*Sabu vs. Facade

*Super Crazy & Pesadilla vs. Damien 666 & Bestia 666.

*Papadon vs. Hijo del Rey Mysterio.

*Also appearing are Balls Mahoney, Gary Wolfe and more,.
