- House of Hardcore has announced that Ethan Carter III will not be able to appear at House of Hardcore VII this weekend, where he was set to face Tommy Dreamer. The promotion noted that they are working with TNA EVP John Gaburick to find a replacement, while PWInsider reports that Carter has suffered a torn bicep and is scheduled for surgery sometime over the next week.
“Obviously, the timing of this, to be blunt, sucks,” said Dreamer. “I was looking forward to taking Carter all over South Philadelphia and showing him what a true old school Extreme Streetfight was all about, especially for the last time my wife Beulah McGuillicuty will accompany me to the ring, but House of Hardcore will move forward and we’re still going to have an amazing homecoming on the corner of Swanson and Ritner. Remember, you never know what we have planned. You get knocked down and you have to get back up. We’ll get back up and overcome this turn of events. See you in Philly.”
