On Sunday, Labor of Love will hold a rather nontraditional wrestling show. Proceeds from the event will be donated to a local charity that assists transgender people.
In April 2024, WWE will hold its annual WrestleMania event at Lincoln Financial Field, the first WrestleMania in the city since 1999.
“There are not as many independent wrestling companies running in Philadelphia” as there once were, acknowledged Anthony Perillo, who wrestled under the name “Brave” Billy Avery. In 2019, he founded, an indie wrestling promotion based in Philadelphia. When not putting together wrestling cards, Perillo works as a school counselor for the School District of Philadelphia.
In recent years, the days before WrestleMania have begun to resemble Super Bowl Week, including an expansive schedule of conventions, parties, and wrestling events held by independent promotions in the host city, with the entire wrestling world together at the same time. Perillo hopes to put on a Labor of Love show as part of next year’s WWE festivities., one that is also a book launch at PhilaMOCA.
“We’re all living in nostalgia, right, this is just the modern condition,” she added. “I try to weaponize that, where the things that I’m nostalgic about, I try to pick them apart and try to understand what the hell they are.”
