Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez made a surprise appearance at tonight’s House of Hardcore 7 iPPV in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Rodriguez introduced Del Rio to the crowd. Del Rio said he was happy to appear because just last week he wasn’t sure if he would be able to wrestle in the US for a year. He added that it was great to be in the ECW arena for the first time. He said they are wrestlers, not Sports Entertainers, in the House of Hardcore.
This prompted chants of “ECW” and “F*CK MCMAHON”. He was then attacked by Brian Myers, but fought him off, locked on the cross-armbreaker and made him tap out.
