What better way to celebrate a stay in Philadelphia than by paying tribute to the house that hardcore built? Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs made that notion clear on Sunday when he debuted a pair of Extreme Championship Wrestling-themed cleats, designed by Mache Custom Kicks, in a game against the Philadelphia Eagles. The fabled ECW, which propelled the likes of Tommy Dreamer and The Dudley Boyz to WWE Superstardom, called Philadelphia home before closing its doors in 2001.
The Vikings went on capture a 24-21 victory against the home team. In addition to Diggs’ numbers on the board, the 24-year-old also scored points with many ECW fans, as well as some extreme legends.
