Ethan Carter III will not appear at House of Hardcore VII this weekend due to a torn bicep injury, with surgery scheduled for some time next week. He was scheduled to face Tommy Dreamer but the promotion has now noted they are working alongside TNA EVP John Gaburick to find a replacement. Tommy Dreamer had the following to say on Carter not being able to compete:
“Obviously, the timing of this, to be blunt, sucks. 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.”
