(Fort Smith, Arkansas) – Reality TV star, actor, and pro wrestling superstar Matt Riviera is giving away a very special evening for one lucky woman.

Sponsored and organized by PR company Eclectic Media Productions (EMP), “Date Riviera” is a contest that will give women across the country a chance to enjoy at least one night out with the multi-talented, electrifying Riviera, who has kept female fans spellbound, whether in the wrestling ring, on television, or on the big screen.

“This is a highbrow, upper class thing,” EMP President Shannon Rose says of the Internet-based contest. Rose adds, “Whoever is selected will be chosen for the right reasons, and I can promise you that Matt will treat the winner with top-drawer class and dignity.”

Rose says that entrants must be 21 years of age or older and will be asked to submit photos, along with explaining, in their own words, why they want to date him, all via e-mail.

A website, http://www.dateriviera.com, has been set up to function as the contest’s Internet home. The deadline to enter is January 8, 2010, with the winner to be announced on January 11. The date itself will be, all expenses paid, and will take place on January 15.

Rose says the lucky girl will also receive VIP tickets for a female friend and herself to attend the Mid-South Wrestling event to be held in Fort Smith on January 16, 2010, when Riviera will be defending the Mid-South Tag Team Title with Jeff Jett as they take on wrestling legend “Nature Boy” Buddy Landel and “All That” Allan Steele. Again, all expenses are paid for the trip to the Fort Smith event.

Rose says the idea for the contest arose from Riviera’s appearance on VH1′s “Megan Wants a Millionaire” over the summer. On the show, Riviera was one of the eligible bachelors.

“Matt’s reputation among the females pretty much speaks for itself,” Rose says about Riviera’s ability to enrapture women, regardless of the role he’s in at any given moment. “And his being on the VH1 show made us think that we ought to give women the same chance with Matt that he had with Megan.”

Thru a statement, Riviera emphasized that the winner of his “Date Riviera” contest won’t necessarily be a one-time-only person in his life.

“If we (the winner and he) hit it off, then it could go further than just the one date.”
