How did Shane Douglas manage to persuade the Pensylvania State Athletic Comission to allow a barbed wire match in the city for Hardcore Homecoming in 2005?
Especially since there was a rep there at the show?

Pretty much. There is a conspiracy theory floating around that the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission is much more strict in the West (READ: Pittsburgh) than they are in the East. The reason for this, says the rumor, is due to the fact that Philly promoters have absolutely no problem "greasing a few palms." Shane Douglas and Jeremy Borash simply paid off the right people. |

The ECW nostalgia, I am drunk right now and maybe I am typing shit....maybe Douglas told them that ECW was hardcore and we need something that will put asses in the seats and the corrupt officials in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission agreed to it.

I have a friend that attended and he said the barbed wire was actually changed during the show because of the Athletic Commissioner, funny thing is that my dad actually knows the guy, and he's a real goof ball

From what I heard, it was rubber tipped barbed wire and the Commission only allowed it because their cut was bigger then they thought it would be.

I don't think the Pensylvania State Athletic Comission has a problem with barbed wire matches; CZW has had a few of them right in the former ECW arena. |
