We fade into a video of providing the historical context of Jimmy Toppi's Blue Horizon, Philadelphia's most famous boxing arena--one that was voted the best place to watch a fight...ever.

"Five years after its untimely closure and four years after plans to convert the site into a boutique hotel were first announced, the Legendary Blue Horizon remains threatened with demolition. One of the most storied venues in the history of boxing, the Blue Horizon hosted fights from 1961 until 2010 in a former Moose Lodge constructed behind three North Broad Street brownstones in 1916. After backtracking on earlier promises to save and restore the Blue Horizon’s 1,500-seat auditorium, developers are now proposing to use public funds to demolish everything but the building’s front facade, replacing “the best place in the world to watch a boxing match” with a parking garage and new hotel block.

Interest in preserving and reopening the Blue Horizon is strong, either as a boxing venue or as a multi-purpose event space. The Preservation Alliance submitted a nomination to the Philadelphia Historical Commission for the Blue Horizon and its auditorium to be listed on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places, which would prevent current or future owners from demolishing the building without first proving that reuse is infeasible. In March of 2015, the Commission voted the nomination...down.

Demolition of the building remains a mystery--it should have happened by now, but it hasn't. Why?

Because shortly after the Commission turned down historical preservation of Jimmy Trippi's Blue Horizon, I bought it. A year later, repairs began with a goal of bringing back the full functionality of the arena while preserving the historical touches that made it special.

My name is Tommy Dreamer, and in a few short weeks 1500 fans will be given the opportunity to file into this auditorium once again. Not for a boxing match, but for a fight. This venue was my dream, and this...is DREAMFIGHT."

Details on Tommy Dreamer's New Promotion
Published on April 21, 2018

Earlier today, Tommy Dreamer revealed his new venture, titled DREAMFIGHT. This comes on the heels of House of Hardcore closing down. Speculation immediately surfaced about Dreamer's new venture, given the nature of HOH's closing (financial strife).

PWInsider is reporting that while the Blue Horizon location has fences around it, no construction vehicles, materials, or workers have been present at all. Given the condition of the building, many believe it could take over a year before the building can be used for professional wrestling.

While no event has been announced, and no talents have been announced, it is rumored that Tommy Dreamer is already in talks with multiple performers, none of which were involved with his House Of Hardcore promotion. One source even indicated to the Insider that Dreamer may have inked a deal with one or more.

What remains to be seen is if DREAMFIGHT can get off the groud, and if their first event will actually be at The Blue Horizon, or if an alternate location will be used.

This is a developing story, more details will be released when they are available.

New Details on DREAMFIGHT
Published on April 24, 2018

More details have surfaced regarding Tommy Dreamer's DREAMFIGHT promotion that was announced a few weeks ago.

For starters, it appears that Dreamer has owned Blue Horizon for over a year now, and the video and voice-over are actually old content. An actual start date has not been identified, but this also means that Tommy Dreamer was working towards this renovation while still attempting to keep House Of Hardcore afloat. Some are now speculating that he was stretched too thin and it led to the demise of HOH.

Dreamer has told a select group about the talents he has signed or is targeting, and the names we've been able to confirm are Eddie Guerrero and Asuka. No word on any format, championships, or otherwise.

Finally, just last night Dreamer was seen at a restaurant near Blue Horizons, meeting with Ethan Carter III and an unidentified woman. No one is sure of the nature of the meeting, but today multiple vehicles arrived at the Blue Horizon location, entering the building and presumably taking measurements and/or making plans.

This is still a developing story, more details will be released when they are available.
