Tommy Dreamer made the initial announcement at New York Comic Con, but has since released the following press release with all the details.
House of Hardcore is excited to announce a new multi-year partnership with digital media platform, Twitch, to broadcast House of Hardcore live events world-wide! Starting on November 18th from the 2300 Arena in South Philadelphia fans across the globe can join us for FREE to watch HOH 35 LIVE, followed by HOH 36 on December 2nd from Waukesha, WI. In addition new weekly content will be also coming soon exclusively on our Twitch channel.
WHERE?
Our new home on Twitch resides at www.twitch.tv/houseofhardcore. This is where you’ll be able to watch and connect with other fans from around the globe via our chat room.
COST?
Watching us on Twitch is completely free. However if you wish to support House of Hardcore there are multiple ways to do so and some perks that go along with it.
Follow: Following our channel is completely free and will allow you to receive notifications via mobile/email when we go live. Just create a free Twitch account and follow our channel for reminders so you don’t miss a minute of action.
Subscribe: There are currently three different subscription tiers ($4.99/$9.99/$24.99- monthly). Your subscription directly supports us to continue bringing you the best content we can. With a paid subscription you will get an ad-free viewing experience, a subscriber badge next to your name in the chat room which makes you stand out amongst the rest. Exclusive emotes to be used in our chat and any other chatroom on Twitch. The tier 2 and tier 3 subscriptions for our loyal and hardcore fans will grant you one more exclusive emote each tier as well.
Twitch Prime: Do you shop on Amazon and have Amazon Prime? Then you qualify for a FREE Twitch Prime membership as well! That means you can get a $4.99 subscription to our channel for FREE. Once you have created your Twitch account and linked it to your Amazon account you can subscribe to House of Hardcore using your “Twitch Prime subscription”. You’ll receive all the perks listed above with no extra money out of pocket.
Cheer: Cheering is a new way to show support and celebrate the moments you love with the community, all right in chat. A Cheer is a chat message that uses Bits, which are evolving animated Emoticons that you can buy. Bit Emoticons can be used one by one, all at once, or anywhere in between. Using many at once shows more support and creates cooler Emoticons! Plus our hardcore cheering fans will be featured right below our video player.
HOW DO I WATCH?
It’s exciting for us to bring you House of Hardcore content in many different ways. Thanks to the technology Twitch has already put in place here are the many different platforms you can use.
Computer: On the web www.twitch.tv/houseofhardcore
Mobile (phone/tablet): Twitch app available now on iOS and Android.
Video game console: Twitch app available now on Xbox One, Xbox 360, Playstation 4 and Playstation 3
More: Twitch is also available on Roku, Chromecast and Fire TV devices.
This is certainly big news for the promotion. Buzz around Dreamer’s HoH has been strong, so I look forward to being able to stream all future events as well as past ones via Twitch.
