CZW Returns To Philly This Afternoon At The Murphy Rec Center


Pro Wrestling will return to the Murphy Rec Center, where Ring of Honor first premiered back in February 2002 as Combat Zone Wrestling will run the venue today at 1 PM Eastern with "Philly Special."


The main event of the show will see Paul London competing inside the Murphy Rec, where he became a star for Ring of Honor, for the first time in 20 years, challenging CZW Champion Rich Swann.


Also slated for today's event:

*Aerial Assault Match with Kris Bishop, Brando Lee, Shaun Smith and more competing.

*Mickie Knuckles vs. Judge Joe Dredd.

*Vendetta vs. WXW stars Amboss.

*Post Game vs. Milk Chocolate.

*Myles Hawkins vs. Man like Dereiss.

*The Lost Boys vs. Bush Quay and two mystery partners.

*Exess Jr. vs. Matt Viviani vs. Frank Milank vs. Carlos Valderrama.


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 that facility since.
