When WrestleFest IV arrives at the Jacob Jones Post on November 7th, two of NCW’s most vital stars face off with the Heavyweight Championship hanging in the balance. Doug Summers’ epic reign as NCW Champion came to a screeching halt August 22nd at HEATWAVE when David Loomis finally did what he set out to do utilizing his WrestleFest Title shot against Summers immediately following Doug’s grueling Title Match against Evan “Hawkeye” Hunter. With manager JC Marxxx in his corner Loomis barreled over Summers, finishing him off with his vicious kneebreaker from the second rope. Loomis has become an unstoppable force in NCW since his return from injury, putting Doug into the role of challenger for the first time since January 2007. Will WrestleFest be the true changing of the guard if Summers can’t survive?

It’s only fitting that the battle between Richard Pacifico and the monster Cenobite ends in what’s being called The Boston Massacre, a brutal all out war for the NCW New England Championship at WrestleFest. Even after Pacifico defeated Cenobite in their Falls Count Anywhere Match to win the New England Title in June, Cenobite tortured and stalked him, even stealing the New England belt and nearly choking him to death at Hostile Takeover. With his back up against the wall and even his girlfriend getting caught in the crossfire Pacifico has no choice but to travel to the depths of hell to face Cenobite one final time, putting everything on the line.

The night that Tim Pittman, Jon Thornhill, and Amber joined forces at the Jacob Jones VFW Post could only be described as magical. Forming the union of Generation SLAM, the trio stole the hearts of the Dedham faithful when they outlasted three other tag teams to win the NCW Tag Team Title Invitational, becoming Tag Team Champions after Jon Thornhill forced Scotty Vegas into submission with his “Thornlock”. That was on October 5th, 2005 and since then Gen SLAM has evolved into NCW’s greatest tag team, taking on all competition and anyone who wanted a challenge. Even when Tim Pittman left for Japan Generation SLAM remained in the hearts of NCW fans, and when Pittman returned to the states this past July they immediately made a splash by defeating one of NCW’s premiere tag teams Zero Tolerance. The reigning NCW Tag Team Champions Brandon Webb and Anthony Stone still have a lot to prove, and are not so different from the Pittman/Thornhill combo. In all fairness “The Kreeper” has been on an incredible roll this Season, winning the Tag Team Titles in a Tag Team Invitational, only with partner Mike Volpe instead. Volpe, who needed some time off to heal his injured knee replaced himself with Stone, a newcomer to NCW who has shown tremendous promise in his first few matches. Embracing themselves as The Airdevils, the Champs head into a situation they can not prepare for, taking on what many consider the most dominant tag team in NCW today. Are they up for the test?

Tim Kilgore and his cousin JC Marxxx have never exactly seen eye to eye, and after years of mounting tension between the two things came to ahead in June when Kilgore walked out on JC’s protégé David Loomis, costing him a victory over “Textbook” Dean Porteau & Doug Summers in the process. Since then JC has sent the dogs after Kilgore, trying to push him over the edge and out of NCW forever. With JC still in control over his cousin’s contract Marxxx has promised one of Tim’s toughest challengers yet come WrestleFest. Could it be someone from Zero Tolerance? A foe from Kilgore’s past? Come November 7th Kilgore may be put through the ringer one more time en route to his redemption.

“The Showoff” Mike Paiva has done everything he’s set out to do since declaring war on the NCW Originals back at Silence the Violence VII, and at WrestleFest he comes face to face with arguably the biggest NCW Original of all time in the form of John Pimentel, better known as the former Ruy Batello. Word has it that Pimentel has personally requested interview time in Dedham to say goodbye once and for all to his fans, while also acknowledging the accomplishments that his former rival has achieved since “The Showoff” started this whole declaration.

With NCW’s inaugural 2007-2008 Season drawing to a close November 7th, officials have put together the first ever Season Cup, a last chance for many of NCW’s stars to make a splash and earn the opportunity to call themselves the best of the season. Evan “Hawkeye” Hunter, the former New England Champion has thrown his cowboy hat into the mix, looking for a chance to prove himself coming off a close loss to Doug Summers at HEATWAVE. “Textbook” Dean Porteau, one of the most popular big men in NCW today has also earned entry into the Cup and without a doubt instantly becomes an odds on favorite to win the whole thing. The supreme ruler and overlord of the great State Of Maine the former NCW Tag Team Champion Scotty Vegas will find himself in this years Cup. Despite not being seen in action since his loss to Doug Summers in July at Hostile Takeover Vegas along with his partner Johnny Primer look to cement Scotty Vegas as the best of NCW.

After nearly 11 months, Rob Impact makes his much anticipated return to NCW rings at WrestleFest IV, just in time for the close of the tumultuous 2007-2008 Season. Impact, no stranger to NCW with the battles he’s had with Tim Kilgore and Cenobite looks to kick off a brand new era as his batteries have been recharged and his energy is high as he locks into singles competition in Dedham!

The reigning Connecticut Champion Michael Tootsie Esquire will be in the house November 7th, as he calls for a special State Of CT Address (in MA) to decree himself the greatest Connecticut Champion who’s ever lived. And with great respects Mister MTE has requested the challenge of the greatest Connecticut wrestler who will never be Champion, “Textbook” Dean Porteau to face him one on one. Despite pulling in double duty that night Porteau has accepted the challenge, looking for any chance to shut MTE up and knock him around. MTE has stated however that since this Match is in Massachussetts, it will be a Non Title affair.

I’m very disappointed to report that my anticipated final wrestling match in Rochester has been cancelled. At the last school committee meeting, some idiot on the board decided to go on a 15-minute tirade which involved ridiculing those who approved the show in the first place and quoting from the school’s student handbook about how it didn’t fit into the “value system”. Go figure…last year the 6th graders put on a performance of Hamlet that was fantastic, but involved themes even worse AND were sword fighting on stage with ACTUAL METAL SWORDS. At first we’d hoped to relocate to the high school, but the PTO and the principal aren’t motivated enough to go through with it. I apologize to those who were looking forward to it…I was too.

Northeast Championship Wrestling ended 2007 with a bang when it presented NO FEAR from the Knights of Columbus Hall in Taftville, Connecticut. The small but boisterous crowd enjoyed a huge night of wrestling, action, reunions, surprises, drunks, and more when Jon Thornhill took over the NCW Presidency for the show, guaranteeing a night of uncertainty.

Chaos began early, when Rob Impact made his way out during ring announcer Tommy D’s introductions. Impact didn’t waste time in requesting President Thornhill to make his way to ringside, which he quickly did. Rob talked about being the man who never quit, the man who wouldn’t back down, but after June’s Last Man Standing Match against Tim Kilgore he began to see the end of the road coming for him as a wrestler. Before he hung up the boots however, he wanted one chance to prove he could make it at the top, and wanted the chance to wrestle Doug Summers for the NCW Championship in Taftville. Thornhill, mentioning how both he and Rob got started together, agreed with Impact and used his Presidential power taking away “Revolution” Chris Venom’s Heavyweight Title shot in the process. Venom was furious in the back, seen throwing bags and kicking best buds Paul Lombardi and Bryce Andrews right in the shins in a fit of rage.

In the Main Event, Rob Impact challenged Doug Summers for the NCW Title, in what potentially may have been Impact’s last match. Summers and Impact showed each other their mutual respect early on, doing their best to outwrestle the other. As the match continued with no clear cut aggressor, both men became more aggitated while taking certain shortcuts. This lit the powderkeg from there, setting off the two into a violent rage. Both men brutalized each other with stiff shots, trying to wear their opponent down for victory. Impact found himself kicking out at every turn, desperately looking to come out on top. As both men clashed, Summers found himself unable to hit his “beautiful disaster” with Rob dodging it at every oppportunity. After a vicious kick, Doug was able to hit a stunning brainbuster on Impact, keeping him down long enough for the three count. Following the match both men embraced in a show of friendship, with Summers wishing Impact the best in whatever he decides to do.
