The culmination of their years spanning feud, Dean "The Beast" Livsley and David Loomis locked up in a No Holds Barred Match to finally settle the score with no rules attached. With the match only being decided by pinfall or submission, the two rivals beat each other from pillar to post while brawling into the stands of Killingly High School. In the final moments of the match, with Loomis desperate to defeat "The Beast", the cagey challenger slipped out of Livsley's snake-eyes and rolled up the Champ with his feet firmly on the ropes. Dazed and unable to kick out, David Loomis would win his second NCW Championship After nine years of hard work and perseverance Dean "The Beast" Livsley finally won the big one after having never won a Championship during his career. Competing in the REUNION Championship Scramble against Doug Summers, "The Showoff" Mike Paiva, and the reigning NCW Champion David Loomis Livsley was taken out of the Match early on thanks to Loomis and Paiva's master plan of handcuffing Summers and attacking the big man. "The Beast" returned however after David believed he won the Match, forcing the action to continue until Livsley nailed a picture perfect powerbomb for the win. Since the moment David Loomis lost his Big City Rumble Title shot against Doug Summers at the Eleven Year REUNION, he has been obsessed with beating Doug and taking his Heavyweight Championship. Aligning himself with JC Marxxx, Loomis tore through the competition while setting his sights on Summers. After earning his #1 Contendership in the Luck Of The Draw Lottery by beating Rob "The Giant", Marxxx and Loomis secured the Title shot not for WrestleFest IV, but rather later that night following Doug's victory over Evan Hunter in his Luck Of The Draw Match. Tired and fatigued, Loomis decimated Summers and destroyed him within an inch of his life. After kicking out of David's backbreaker once, Loomis launched Summers off the second rope driving him right into his knee, laying him out long enough for the three count and the NCW Heavyweight Championship With the NCW Heavyweight Championship vacated in the wake of Ruy Batello's retirement, President Mike Paiva declared an eight man single elimination tournament to crown a new Champion. Summers went through two grueling tournament matches, besting Cenobite in the Quarterfinals and Triplelicious in the Semifinals, only to come face to face with his toughest opponent in the Finals-- Davey Loomis. Loomis fought tooth and nail against Summers, until Doug was able to out think the amateur grappler and finishing him off with his "beautiful disaster" for the victory and the Title. Following the match both friends embraced, ushering in The Uprising of NCW. Ruy Batello believed he had no place else to travel on the road of wrestling, announcing that NCW COLLISION COURSE would be his last show as an active competitor. In a plea to NCW President Mike Paiva, Batello asked for one last match with Champion Chris Venom for the Heavyweight Title promising that win, lose, or draw "The Portuguese Sensation" would hang up the boots. Paiva agreed, making it a No Disqualification Match to boot. Ruy thanked him with a vicious "Ruination", and went toe to toe with "Revolution" in a brutal contest. Despite interference from Bryce Andrews and Paul Lombardi Batello was still able to mount a comeback, hitting a picture perfect DDT right onto the NCW Championship for the win. Following the match in a tearful celebration, Ruy held high the NCW Title for a second time, in one final moment of victory. Chris Venom earned his NCW Title opportunity after winning the 2005 Big City Rumble, and decided to cash in his shot at the beginning of the new year by challenging the reigning Champion Ruy Batello. Venom had a plan against his old foe however, utilizing the help of "The Pinnacle" Paul Lombardi and The Original Kings Of Old School to distract the referee long enough for Venom to use a pair of brass knucks on Batello, sneaking in a tarnished pin for the Title. After his best friend and tag team partner MTE was taken out of action thanks to Tim Kilgore, Ruy Batello became a man incensed with revenge. After Batello pinned Kilgore at NCW's 5 Year REUNION, Commissioner Richmond Black gave Batello the shot he needed, challenging the cocky Kilgore at NCW WrestleFest III. Despite JC Marxxx in his corner, Kilgore couldn't keep the big man down. After blocking a top rope splash, Kilgore went up top to drive "The Portuguese Sensation" down to the mat, only to get caught with a Super "Ruination" off the top rope! From there it was academic as Ruy Batello became NCW Heavyweight Champion for the first time. Triplelicious and Tim Kilgore went at it in a game of high flying combat as both looked to gain an advantage in their Heavyweight Title encounter. Kilgore earned his rematch with Triplelicious after defeating Adam Booker at MaximuM Carnage, while Triplelicious was still dealing with love/hate relationship with him and Chris Venom. Even with a dislocated shoulder Kilgore fought hard, and when Venom ran in to help Trip Kilgore took complete advantage, sending Venom right into collision with Trip, allowing Kilgore to hit a top rope "H-Cubed" for the win and the Title. The rivalry between Venom and Triplelicious reached its boiling point at WrestleFest, when Triplelicious finally regained his NCW Championship for a record breaking fourth time, turning "Revolution" into a bloody mess during their No DQ Match for the belt. In the end Trip crunched Venom's skull right onto the NCW Title, hitting him with a DDT for the win. It was 2 out of 3 falls when "Revolution" Chris Venom challenged his rival Triplelicious before a packed Loomis Arena at MaximuM Carnage. Venom had been chasing Trip since April, and pulled out all the stops to derail Trip's third reign as Champion, utilizing help from "Primetime" Randy J, Ruy Batello, and Tim Kilgore en route to winning his first NCW Title. With Big Poppa Drunk taking his ball and going home, NCW was left with no choice but to hold up the NCW Heavyweight Championship, putting it up for grabs in a 5 Man Ground Zero Match to crown a new Champion. "Revolution" Chris Venom was named special guest referee, and watched on as Ruy Batello, Triplelicious, Vertebreaker, Pacifico, and Travis Savage battled it out for the gold. In the end it came down to Trip and Ruy, and with JC Marxxx demanding Trip to take a dive, the fanciest thing since grey pupon turned on his Zero Tolerance running mate, laying him out and winning the NCW Championship all by himself. It would be a Four Corners Sudden Death Match at the New Years Brawl that would decide the fate of Pacifico's NCW Title reign, as he defended the gold against Big Poppa Drunk, Richmond Black, and Steve Taylor with first pinfall or submission ending the match. Chaos erupted throughout the match, and with BPD having help from his Power League he finished off Pacifico with his "last call" TKO for the win and his first NCW Heavyweight Title. New NCW Commissioner Scotty Angel used his power to force Zero Tolerance members Richmond Black and Triplelicious to fight one another against Big Poppa Drunk and Pacifico in a Four Corners Elimination Match for Black's Heavyweight Title. After Triplelicious & BPD fought each other to a double countout, Black and Pacifico kicked it up a notch trying to best each other in a game of cat and mouse. Finally, Pacifico was able to hit a vicious driver to the mat eliminating Black and winning the Title. After the match Pacifico and Black embraced with mutual respect for the other. In the second of two Heavyweight Title Matches on this night, Richmond Black fought Triplelicious all over the "NCW Arena" in their No DQ Match, both men trying to cripple each other. Finally, after interference from Pacifico, Zack Mason, and Big Poppa Drunk Richmond Black finally hit his "big black drop" onto a stop sign to win the Championship. Triplelicious decided to invoke his rematch clause at WrestleFest, guaranteeing two Championship Matches at the big inaugural event. Trip and manager did their best to diffuse the psychotic Pacifico, using some timely powder to blind Pacifico long enough for Trip to hit his "H-Cubed" for the win regaining the Title. With #1 Contender Richmond Black guaranteed his Main Event spot regardless, Triplelicious cashed in his rematch clause at WrestleFest promising history with two Heavyweight Title bouts in one night. Thanks to constant interference from Marxxx Pacifico's back was up against the wall from the get go. It was do or die for Trip however, as the CEO of NCW demanded a Triplelicious victory or face firing. After some powder to the face, Pacifico was blinded long enough for Triplelicious to hit a vicious "H-Cubed" off a chair to the ground. After acquiring the services of JC Marxxx, and with Pacifico being recognized as the first NCW Heavyweight Champion of record Triplelicious was able to gain a tremendous advantage over the reigning NCW Champion with the added assistance of his new manager. Thanks to the No DQ Rules for the match, Pacifico was unable to battle two on one, eventually falling to Trip's "H-Cubed". |

After winning the #1 Contenders Triple Threat Match at Payback, everyone assumed Paiva would be challenging Dean Livsley for his NCW Heavyweight Title. Paiva, proclaiming himself to be the smartest man in NCW decided to use his Title opportunity on the injured Pacifico, who had been nursing his knee injury since his wars with Scotty Vegas. Unable to fend for himself, Pacifico became easy prey for "The Showoff", who won the Title in cheap fashion. With their feud at a boiling point NCW Officials declared their Dedham rematch an I Quit Match, to guarantee a victor after the Willimantic Title change. Both men went at it, with Vegas showing a nasty streak while trying to force Pacifico to quit. In the end Richard was able to cinch in his "Snake Hill Cloverhitch" forcing the Maine State native to quit. After injuring his leg during their Killingly encounter, Scotty "BY GOD" Vegas immediately went to work, doing his best to wear down the Champ. After a vicious top rope leg drop Vegas finished off Pacifico, although Pacifico's hurt leg was under the bottom rope. The feud between Vegas and Pacifico took another turn at NO FEAR, as Pacifico valiantly battled through Vegas' onslaught to win back his coveted New England Championship after his patented "Cobra Clutch Slam". The former Tag Team Champion, Scotty "By God" Vegas declared that while 2005-2008 were all about the Maine State Posse and the NCW Tag Team Titles, 2009 was all about Scotty Vegas and his quest to be the best singles competitor in the promotion. Coming off a strong victory over Tim Kilgore, Vegas used his unorthodox style to throw off the reigning Champion Pacifico, and singled out Pacifico's head and neck wearing him down. After a timely kick and a handful of ropes, Scotty Vegas became the new NCW New England Champion. Winning the New England Title wasn't enough for Cenobite as he went into the 2008 Big City Rumble looking for a victory and a chance to wrestle Doug Summers for the NCW Championship. Unfortunately Richard Pacifico got the opportunity to eliminate Cenobite, and he did. Unfortunately for Pacifico Cenobite began torturing him from that moment on, doing everything in his power to hurt the former Heavyweight Champion. At Payback, after months of abuse, Pacifico got his revenge as he defeated Cenobite in a grueling Falls Count Anywhere Match to win his first Title in nine years! After reigning as New England Champion for nearly a year, "Hawkeye" was caught off guard by the menacing Cenobite, who had been ripping through the competition in the months leading up to The Big City Rumble. The Hick King held his own however, powering Cenobite and sending him out of the ring on more than one occasion. The monster from the seventh circle sliced into the Champion however, eventually stunning Hunter long enough to hit his "Hell On Earth" to finish the match and earn his first singles Championship. The man from Hicksville, TN had been chasing Derik Destiny for months with the "Old School Champion" dodging "Hawkeye" at every turn from the moment Hunter won the #1 Contenders Battle Royal to earn a Title Match in The Loomis Arena. With no place else to go, Destiny was forced into their Title Match at NCW's 10 Year REUNION, facing "Hawkeye" in a Hog Tie Match. Even with "Textbook" Dean Porteau at ringside, the cagey Hunter pulled off the upset, using his "redneck breakneck" to lay out The Original Kings Of Old School and win the New England Championship! After failing to get the job done against Summers in their previous encounters, "The Old School Messiah" Derik Destiny challenged the New England Champion to a specialty match of his own kind, an Old School Challenge. And thanks to his Old School Challenge, in addition to his TOKOOS teammates "Textbook" Dean Tatum and Maniacal Mark, Derik Destiny was able to use the odds in his favor, throwing off Doug Summers enough to small package him to win the NCW New England Title. In his first opportunity for a singles Title, Doug Summers didn't disappoint, taking "Hot Stuff" Hudson to the limit. Despite having a 102 degree fever, Hudson gave his all as well putting up one hell of a fight against the unorthodox Summers. In the end Doug defeated his rival in a grueling Title Match at NCW's debut in Dedham, MA pinning "Hot Stuff" with his "beautiful disaster" kneecrusher. When "Bad Boy" Billy Black was unable to make it to the ring for his Title Match against "Hot Stuff" Paul Hudson, NCW Officials had no choice but to award Hudson with the New England Championship when Black failed to enter within the 10 count. The new Champion immediately defended his new belt, sneaking out a dastardly win over the debuting Jon Thornhill. With NCW returning for its 2005 REUNION, the reigning New England and Television Champions locked up in singles action to unify the Championships when Michael Sain battled "Bad Boy" Billy Black. Black and Sain battled in an epic struggle of big men, with each man trying to ware the other down. In the end "Bad Boy" scored his "Bad Day" finisher on the psychotic one, unifying the belts. Johnny Curtis' reign as one of the cockiest New England Champions came to an end at Roadway Juice, when the Maine State native was forced into a Title defense against the #1 contender Michael Sain. Sain, who had been one of the most popular competitors at this point, dominated over the ultra talented Curtis, utilizing his "straightjacket" finisher to win his first singles Championship. KL Murphy had been absolutely dominant as New England Champion, taking on all comers and winning a tremendous battle with Doctor Heresy the month previous. Murphy was put up against his toughest challenge to date as New England Champion at the 2001 Big City Rumble, taking on three competitors in a Sudden Death 4 Corners Match. In a shocking upset, Curtis, who was subbing for his tag team partner Damian Houston hit a Curtis Crunch driver right into the mat dazing Murphy long enough to score the pinfall and his first NCW singles belt. It was Last Man Standing when two time New England Champion Tim Kilgore faced off with bitter rival KL Murphy in the culmination of their months long feud. Kilgore and manager Sean Gorman did everything in their power to put down the aggressive Murphy in order to keep him down for the 10 count. After Kilgore attempted to bring in a chair to use on KL, Murphy was able to reverse Tim's momentum taking him right down onto the chair with a vicious piledriver. With Kilgore unable to make it up in time and with Murphy falling right into the chair, KL was awarded the New England Championship for the 2nd time! In a rematch from Silence the Violence, Kilgore and manager Sean Gorman used every trick in the book to neutralize Murphy. After distracting the referee, Gorman tossed Kilgore some powder to throw in KL's face and after a handful of tights Tim Kilgore was once again New England Champion. With KL Murphy first being announced as unable to compete due to a head injury, Champion Tim Kilgore instead decided to challenge his trainer "Mad Dog" Matt Storm, who was celebrating the one year anniversary of his tag team with Draven, The Damned. Storm got the better of his student, and seemingly won the New England Title in the process. JC Marxxx intervened, and stated that since KL was the scheduled opponent and not "Mad Dog", the victory was null-in-void. The rightful challenger then burst on the scene, and despite doctors orders competed against Kilgore. After a grueling contest, Murphy small packaged Kilgore for his first Championship. With Steve Taylor being stripped of the Title due to inactivity, the vacated Championship was put on the line in the 2000 Big City Rumble, with the winner earning the belt. MTE, who had been pushed into a role as referee, nearly won the whole thing but was eliminated by Pacifico, the odds on favorite to win the whole thing. Unfortunately the cocky Tim Kilgore, thanks to help from manager Sean Gorman, used their wily ways to eliminate Pacifico and win the New England belt. In an NCW sanctioned Match, Steve Taylor upended former tag team partner Violent Chad to win the New England Title with his somersault press for the victory. During the first event of the NCW year, Richmond Black was put into a Triple Threat Match against former tag team partners Violent Chad and Steve Taylor. Despite the breakup between the duo, both men worked over Black, until Chad was able to hit a swanton bomb on Richmond for the win. Under sudden death rules, Violent Chad won the Championship. It was the culmination of their breakup from Zero Tolerance, as Richmond Black took on Triplelicious in a Zero Tolerance Death Match for Triplelicious' New England Title, after Trip cost Black the Heavyweight Title the month before. In a brutal war, both men destroyed each other even taking out the referee. With no ref in sight, Commissioner Scotty Angel gave commentator John Pimentel (Ruy Batello) the authority to become an official, and came into the ring to make the three count for Black after hitting his "Big Black Drop" on Trip. After Big Poppa Drunk was unable to defend his Title, completely fair and impartial Commissioner JC Marxxx granted a Title opportunity for both his business associate Triplelicious and Steve Taylor. The Match quickly deteriorated into a hardcore brawl, with Trip nailing a beautiful moonsault on Taylor for the win. For the vacant Championship, Big Poppa Drunk and "The Inferno" Zack Mason brawled all over the NCW Arena, looking to make an impact as New England Champion. After Mason's pal Ritchie Roberts slid in a stop sign, BPD used the opportunity to hit his "Last Call" onto the sign, pinning "The Inferno". |
*All Championship reigns before 1999 are no longer recognized by Northeast Championship Wrestling*
Generation SLAM first went after their coveted Tag Team Championship at the 2009 Big City Rumble, when The Heatseekers did their dirty deeds to keep Pittman & Thornhill from their second Championship victory. After screwing them over at FALLOUT, The Heatseekers thought they had outsmarted Gen SLAM again when they attacked them following their victory of the 5th Tag Team Invitational. Venom and his partner Jonny Idol did their best political maneuvering to keep the Tag Team Championship around their waists, until Silence the Violence IX and the first event of the 2010 Season. After deeming that Thornhill's educated feet and Pittman's hard hitting fists were banned from the Title Match, The Heatseekers did everything they could to keep the momentum on their side. That is until Idol inadvertently distracted the referee long enough to have Pittman punch out Venom right into Thornhill's superkick, giving Generation SLAM the win! Thanks to the revolving door of Heatseekers, Chris Venom has kept his opponents guessing as to which member will be by his side. This night Venom used the help of "The Epic" Mike Bennett to assault Brandon Webb and Anthony Stone, using the Title belts as weapons against the reigning Champions, injuring Brandon Webb in the process. With his knee injury worsening, and doctors telling him to take some time off Mike Volpe forfeited the Tag Team Championship with a heavy heart at HEATWAVE. Volpe was allowed to choose his replacement however, and brought on board Anthony Stone, one of Brandon's oldest friends. Webb & Stone immediately set out to prove themselves as worthy Tag Team Champions, dubbing themselves The Airdevils! It was the 3rd Annual Tag Team Title Invitational, and was supposed to be Scotty Vegas' big celebration of one year as Tag Team Champion. It was The Posse, Rob "The Giant" & Nick Westgate, and The Winter Hill Gang competing at NCW's 2008 REUNION for a chance to walk out with the belts. The Posse were eliminated first, with Vegas getting pinned by The Giant. Westgate and Rob were eliminated next thanks to Sid Reeves and Clip O'Reilly, leaving only them and the duo of Volpe & Webb to fight it out. Following a superkick by Volpe and a moonsault by Webb, this new tag team became the new Tag Team Champions much to the crowds delight. With Afterburn's Title reign held up, President Paiva offered to return the Tag Team Titles to Generation SLAM with Jon Thornhill's return to the ring. The Maine State Posse quickly rebuffed however, demanding a shot at the held up belts. Gen SLAM, ready to fight accepted the challenge and the Match was on. Vegas and Alex Chamberlin completely singled out Thornhill and his formerly injured ankle, wreaking havoc on the months of rehabilitation. After taking out Pittman, Chamberlin clinched in a vicious ankle lock, forcing Thornhill to tap out. It was the second ever Tag Team Title Invitational, as Gen SLAM went to defend their Titles against The Alumni Club, Maine State Posse, & Afterburn. Within moments of the Match, Jon Thornhill severely injured his ankle after a top rope plancha effectively taking him out of the Match. In the end, Ray Diamond and PC Cruz made the upset on Timothy Pittman, walking out of StV the champs. In the first ever Tag Team Title Invitational, Generation SLAM took NCW by storm by walking away with the vacant Tag Team Championship in their first Match. After Afterburn was eliminated by The Fighting Tootsies, Pittman & Thornhill eliminated MTE & Kilgore, leaving them against The Maine State Posse. After a brutal match, Thornhill locked in his 'thornlock', forcing Vegas to tap out. |
