Suplex Vintage Wrestling Closing Philly Store
Suplex Vintage Wrestling, a specialty store dedicated to professional wrestling memorabilia, has been a staple for fans at its South Street location in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Offering a wide range of vintage wrestling merchandise, including t-shirts, action figures, and championship belts, the store has been a gathering place for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Established by Chris Kindig, the shop was designed with a theme inspired by Philadelphia’s rich wrestling history, particularly its connection to Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW). Over the years, the two-floor store became known for its extensive collection of memorabilia and the sense of community it fostered.
Today, Suplex Vintage Wrestling announced the closure of its South Street location due to unforeseen circumstances. As a result, the Suplex Slamboree event will no longer take place as planned. The South Street store has been more than just a retail space—it has served as a hub for wrestling fans to connect, share experiences, and celebrate their passion for the sport.
Despite this change, Suplex Vintage Wrestling will continue its operations online and in the Sunshine State. Merchandise will remain available at its Orlando location inside Dezerland Park, and the brand will also have a presence at WrestleCon in Las Vegas during WrestleMania weekend. The company acknowledges and appreciates the ongoing support from its community and looks forward to continuing its engagement with wrestling fans in the future.
