— The premiere screening of the ECW documentary Barbed Wire City will be held on April 20th in Philadelphia, PA at the old ECW arena. The venue hosted ECW from May 1993 through December 2000, where it became one of the most legendary and intimate wrestling buildings of all time. WWE’s version of ECW also held one event there in 2006. John Philapavage spoke about the venue and putting the documentary together, stating the following…
“This is the moment I’ve been waiting for since last summer It took a little longer than I thought, but it feels right for this to be the venue for our premiere screening.
I can remember fantasizing about a premiere there when I was twenty. I’m thirty-two now. It took some time, but it finally fell together. I can’t think of a better place to be in the world on April 20th. “
Barbed Wire City is described as an unauthorized documentary film studying the subculture and story of defunct pro wrestling promotion Extreme Championship Wrestling. The promotion rose to prominence from humble beginnings in 1992, had a massive effect on the wrestling boom of the late 90s, and went bankrupt in early 2001.
