As we reported several weeks ago, pro Wrestling will return to the Murphy Rec Center, where Ring of Honor first premiered back in February 2002 as Combat Zone Wrestling has announced they will run the venue on Sunday 4/7 at 1 PM Eastern.
CZW announced the following:
*Aerial Assault Match with Kris Bishop, Brando Lee and more competing.
*Mickiee Knuckles vs. Judge Joe Dredd.
Rich Swann, Milk Chocolate, Griffin McCoy, and Post Game have also been announced for the event, which has been titled "Philly Special."
The Murphy Rec has not hosted professional wrestling since Ring of Honor was forced to exit the facility following a November 2006 event after the PA State Athletic Commission received a complaint about the size of the crowds ROH was bringing to the venue. CZW would be the first promotion, to the best of my knowledge, to run the facility since. CZW's last major show in Philly was the 2020 Cage of Death, which was held at the 2300 Arena. They ran the Philadelphia Opal in 2022 but in recent years have focused on Maryland for most of its post-pandemic events.
In other CZW news, the promotion's longrunning Cruiseweight Tournament, Best of the Best, which has been running since 2001, will be held on 5/18 from The Power Plant Live! in Baltimore, Maryland.
