Empire State Wrestling will return to Buffalo RiverWorks on Saturday, July 26, with its marquee event of the summer, “Everything To Gaine.” This event will feature the second annual “Everything To Gaine Rumble.” The match and event continue to honor the legacy of the late "None of a Kind" Anthony Gaines. The winner of the rumble will receive an opportunity to challenge for the ESW heavyweight championship at a later date.

This year's announced competitors include "Big League" John McChesney, "Big Time" Bill Collier and "Blue Thunder" Jay Freddie. Stay tuned to ESW's social media platforms for more participant reveals.

Last year's “ETG Rumble” was won by "Invincible" Vince Valor. He used his opportunity to defeat Collier in a casket match several months later and recaptured the ESW heavyweight championship – a title he technically never lost. This year, Valor will defend the belt at “ETG” against "The Problem" Isaiah Broner – one of the top independent stars from the Midwest.

Also scheduled for “ETG” 2025:

•ESW Women's Championship: "Courageous" Christina Marie (champ) vs. TNA Wrestling's "The Wild Child" Jody Threat

•ESW Tag Team Championship: To Infinity & Beyond (Colin Delaney & Cheech) (champ) vs. Honking 'N Bonking (Will Calrissian & Vinnie Moon)

•GCW star "The Base God" Gringo Loco vs. "V-Guy" Vaughn Vertigo

•"Ya Boy" Matt McCoy vs. "The Native Wolf" Groff with "Agent of Chaos" Brian DeVille
