Maryland Championship Wrestling released the following press
release:
EXTREME RISING CHAMPIONSHIP BELT REMOVED FROM MCW EVENT
THIS SATURDAY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Extreme Rising
World Champion and championship belt will not be appearing Saturday, July 19th
2014 for MCW in Joppa, MD thanks to Dan McDevitt and Maryland Championship
Wrestling for their cooperation in this matter.
It had come to our
attention that a match featuring Wrestling Superstar Matt Hardy and Luke Hawx is
being promoted for the Maryland and Extreme Rising Championship World
Title.
Extreme Rising Pro Wrestling was never contacted concerning this
stipulation. After communicating with Dan McDevitt of MCW, the Extreme Rising
title stipulation has been removed from the match. We appreciate Mr. McDevitt’s
professionalism in this matter.
Extreme Rising has not sanctioned any
World Title matches for its championship belt since before April 30th 2014. No
one has ever defeated Stevie Richards in an Extreme Rising sanctioned title
match.
STEVIE RICHARDS is –and has been the only officially recognized
champion and title holder for Extreme Rising Pro Wrestling, since his winning of
the title tournament dated December 29th 2012 at the Pennsylvania National Guard
Armory in Philadelphia, PA.
Presently, Oren Hawxhurst aka Luke Hawx has
physical possession of the Extreme Rising World Title. Extreme Rising has
reached out to Mr. Hawxhurst through our attorney, but has yet to receive our
property. We had hope that a professional and amicable return of the World title
to our office would be in order by Mr. Hawxshurt, but to date hasn’t
happened.
