The Beaver County Times in Pennsylvania had an article in today's edition with Shane Douglas talking about this weekend's Hardcore Homecoming tour. Douglas talks about how he was approached a few years ago about doing some ECW reunion shows, but only became interested within the last year based on the sales of WWE's "The Rise & Fall of ECW" DVD.

Hardcore Homecoming debuts tonight in Cleveland with this line-up. More matches will obviously be added to the card:

- Team 3-D (the former Dudley Boyz) vs. Axl Rotten & Balls Mahoney.
- Justin Credible (who can now no longer use that name) vs. The Sandman in a Singapore Cane Match.
- Raven vs. Rhino.

Hardcore Homecoming moves on to Monaca, PA on 9/18 with this line-up. More matches will also be added to the card:

- Sabu vs. The Sandman - Stairway to Hell Match.
- Shane Douglas vs. Pitbull Gary Wolfe.
- Jerry Lynn vs. Justin Credible.
- Tracy Smothers vs. The Blue Meanie.

The former Dudley's will not be appearing at the show in Monaca, PA. Other talent scheduled for the tour includes New Jack, Francine, Danny Doring, Roadkill, Johnny Grunge, Tod Gordon, Mikey Whipwreck, Chris Chetti and CW Anderson. The promotion will also be holding post-show autograph sessions for $5 at each event that will go towards the American Red Cross. Representatives from American Red Cross will be on hand at the event collecting funds in exchange for a wristband that will allow entry into the session.
