New England Championship Wrestling kicks off 2012 with a blockbuster main event – a rematch nearly 5 years in the making – on Friday night, January 13 at the Irish-American Club, 177 West Street, Malden, Ma with an 8 PM bell time. On that night, new NECW Heavyweight Champion, “The Infamous” Bobby Fish makes his first title defense against former ROH World Champion, “Die Hard” Eddie Edwards in the main event.
Edwards, who was a 4 time NECW Tag Team Champion and two time NECW IRON 8 Champion, has had a lengthy rivalry with Bobby Fish in NECW dating back to 2007, when the two competitors battled to capture the coveted IRON 8 Championship and Edwards broke Fish’s ankle in the final moments of the tournament final. Both men have toured for Pro Wrestling NOAH in Japan and are highly regarded athletes. Fish considers his capture of the NECW Heavyweight Championship a mission finally accomplished, while Edwards
considers the NECW crown, a title that has eluded him to date, a major piece of unfinished business in his career. Now, nearly 5 years later, these two collide again to settle scores and bring one of the greatest rivalries in company history to a conclusion.
A second eagerly anticipated championship match will also be on the card as the NECW Tag Team Champions, The Dynasty (DC Dillinger & Brian Fury managed by Sean Gorman) defend the titles against the team of Sean Burke & Matt Taven. Both Burke and Taven are undefeated in singles competition since joining NECW in 2011. Both have achieved great popularity with the NECW fans. The big question is whether they can employ enough continuity to work well as a team and take down the wily duo of Dillinger and Fury.
World Women’s Wrestling Champion, Alexxis Neveah has issued an open challenge to defend her title against any woman on the WWW roster. Who will step forward to accept the challenge?
The popular young Japanese star, Taka Suzuki returns to action after suffering an ankle injury to take on Chase Del Monte.
In a special tag team challenge match, the hip hop styled tandem known as All Money Is Legal make their NECW debut taking on former two time NECW Tag Team Champions, The Logan Brothers.
Plus, former NECW Heavyweight Champion, “The Real Deal” Brandon Locke squares off against “The Statement” Elia Markopoulos managed by Mr. Fabulous Tony Ulyssess.
