ECW/New Alhambra/The Arena/Asylum Arena/Viking Hall may be closing

1/14?

I'll drive down if its the last show, this place has so much history
If its not the Yankee stadium of wrestling, then its at least wrestling's wrigley...

Sad to hear...

Desperate troll is desperately trolling.

Let's review:

W2B posts a pic of the place, in essence mocking the look of it from the outside.

I, having never seen it, am astounded at how unassuming a venue so talked about looks. I proceed to sarcastically poke fun at how they're trying to get away from wrestling to be a concert venue. Which should be a smashing success.

You proceed to call me a desperate troll.

The ironing is delicious.

Yeah man, that's it.

I remember the first time we drove down there, all I knew is that it was on the corner of Swanson & Ritner. This was pre GPS, pre Mapquest, etc, so we get to the corner of Swanson & Ritner, and we're like, where the hell is this "arena"? So we roll down the window and ask a guy 'hey man, where is the corner of Swanson & Ritner?', and he's like "are you looking for the ECW Arena? Dude, it's right there".

We couldn't believe the infamous ECW Arena was basically an warehouse on the dirtiest corner of the empty industrial end of Philly.

It's pretty ridiculous. I probably wouldn't have found it at all. It actually seemed bigger somehow when watching stuff taped there, which already came off as really small.

First time I went, I thought I was going to be robbed. There is literally nothing else really around but the bingo hall and other empty buildings.

And last night, was the ol girl's last.

She went out with a wimper.

Shame.
