In the first official video announcement on HardcoreHomecoming.com, Joey Styles confirmed that the first match officially signed for the June 10th Hardcore Homecoming event will be a rematch of one of the most famous contests ever to take place in Philadelphia's Viking Hall, as Terry Funk, Sabu, and Shane Douglas will fight in a rematch from wrestling's first ever 3-way dance.

"This match is the one that started it all," said Shane Douglas., "and there is only one building that it can take place... the arena in Philadelphia. We will cross the line one more time."

The historic 60-minute draw between these three is considered what of greatest matches to ever take place in the former Viking Hall.

"Although the fans gave us all a standing ovation that night, they were not given a winner. As far as I'm concerned, this historic match continues the moment that bell rings June 10th, and we will find out once and for all who should have won that night."

Joey Styles, who will be there announcing the event live for the DVD June 10th, made the announcement today in a "Breaking News" video update, available for viewing on HardcoreHomecoming.com. Styles will announce the second match signed next Friday, the first day tickets will be available for the public.

The organizers of Hardcore Homecoming have gone all out to make sure fans are treated to the authentic "arena" experience. From the amazing talent roster being assembled down to the Atlas Security, Hardcore Homecoming is going to be a night of nostalgia from the "World's Most Famous Bingo Hall." This will also be a chance for newer fans to experience what they missed years ago.

To help re-create the kind of atmosphere in Viking Hall that changed professional wrestling forever, organizers of Hardcore Homecoming have brought on board the original founder of Eastern Championship Wrestling, Tod Gordon.

A post show party featuring an autograph session and Q&A will take place immediately following the event in the arena, with all of the superstars appearing that evening participating.

Several bus trips and tour groups have been arranged, as fans from around the globe have inquired about tickets. A thirty member contingent from Japan have already made arrangements to attend, with more expected in the coming weeks.
