Viking Hall

[wrath]

For all of us in the indy world... I'm sure our hearts broke a little bit when the announcement was made that the ECW arena had been bought and would be torn down to make way for a new concert venue. Well...

The people that bought the lease on the property blew it and didn't hold up their end of the bargain so the owners of the building have decided to keep it operating the same way and wrestling will return to the ECW arena.


As someone that has a lot of blood, sweat, and tears left in that building... I can't tell you all how happy I am about this.


LONG LIVE THE CORNER OF SWANSON AND RITNER!

now if only decent wrestling would show up there, and rekindle the spirit ECW had there...

[wrath]

Extreme Rising is doing the first show with the building open for wrestling again.

I assume that CZW won't be far behind in returning to the CZW arena. And yes, I know ECW gets the nod most of the time, but not in my book because CZW has run the most shows in that building's history. But I also assume the Chikara brand, ROH, DGUSA, and a few others will start running there again.

And my ass can go back to being parked merch side.

Chikara is dead....

[wrath]

Shows you how long I've been out of the indy loop... I was either unaware of that, or some kind of fucked up when someone told me.
