Former WWE Superstar-turned-announcer Matt Striker is slated to join the Extreme Rising promotion in 2014 as an announcer along with ECW Original Joel Gertner.

Extreme Rising was scheduled to have their very first episode of their weekly television program on January 1st on WACP Channel 4 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania but their debut has been pushed back due to the fact that Arda Ocal was unable to fly in from Canada to be the host due to bad weather and then a scheduling conflict. No word on if Ocal will still be used in the future.
