Over the past twenty years this bingo hall and multi-purpose building has been called Viking Hall, XPW Arena, Alhambra Arena and most famously the ECW Arena when Extreme Championship Wrestling ran shows here from 1993-2001.

Scenes from The Wrestler where Mickey Rourke faced the Necro Butcher in a bloody match were shot here in 2008 at a Combat Zone Wrestling show.

The interior was filmed at nearby Mayslack's
