New England Championship Wrestling is a Northeastern-based independent professional wrestling promotion. Owned and operated by promoter Sheldon Goldberg since 2000, New England Championship Wrestling is one of the top promotions in the New England-area along with rival promotions Chaotic Wrestling, the Millennium Wrestling Federation and Yankee Pro Wrestling.

Among its roster has, at one point, included indpendent wrestlers Antonio "The Promise" Thomas, Slyk Wagner Brown and Rick Fuller as well its women's division World Women's Wrestling which includes some of the top female wrestlers in the country such as Ariel, Sumie Sakai, Riptide, Nikki Roxx, April Hunter, Malia Hosaka and Mercedes Martinez. [1] Former photographer Ricky Vasquez is involved in the Slamtech Wrestling University, a wrestling facility based in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. [2]

World Wrestling Entertainment wrestlers Kofi Kingston, Kenny Dykstra and "Hurricane" John Walters also competed in the promotion during their early careers. Former WWE announcer Kevin Kelly is also involved both as a heel manager and on-screen character.

History

Former editor of the Mat Marketplace newsletter, Sheldon Goldberg had been involved with promoters Tony Rumble and Paul Heyman in bringing Michinoku Pro to the United States during the late-1990s. [3] By September 2000, Goldberg himself began holding professional wrestling events in the Boston-area, successfully selling out local venues such as the Quincy Armory. Over the next several years, the promotion developed a strong following based on its traditional "family-friendly" style of professional wrestling as an alternative to the adult themed sports entertainment adopted by World Wrestling Entertainment.

In 2004, the promotion began a multimedia project featuring a video podcast of highlights from recently held wrestling events through its affiliate NECW.tv website. Its weekly internet broadcasts eventually grew to over 200,000 viewers in over 40 countries around the world. Its exposure was further increased through DVD releases of yearly supercards such as the popular Iron 8 Championship Tournament. [4] The following year, the NECW was one of several independent promotions who recognized the death of Eddie Guerrero holding a memorial event in his honor which featured a special video tribute produced by the promotion.

In August 2006, New England Championship Wrestling merged with PWF Mayhem which held its last card unifying its championship titles in an interpromotional event in Quincy, Massachusetts on August 16. The event saw PWF Mayhem Tag Team Champions The Canadian Superstars (J-Busta & Dave Cole) defeated NECW Tag Team Champions The Wild Boys (Billy King & Mike Lynch) for the NECW Unified Tag Team Championship, PWF Mayhem Junior Heavyweight Champion "The Talent" TJ Richter defeated NECW Television Champion "Big Guns" Frankie Arion for the NECW Unified Television Championship and PWF Mayhem Heavyweight Champion "The Human Nightmare" Evan Siks defeated NECW Heavyweight Champion D.C. Dillinger for the NECW Undisputed Triple Crown Championship.
