New England Championship Wrestling debuted Saturday night, July 17, 2010 at the Tyngsboro Sports Center with an action-packed card featuring three title bouts and an impromptu cage match!
In the opening contest, “Handsome” Johnny Hayes defeated Julian Starr with a spin kick.
Before the next match could be announced, NECW Triple Crown Champion “The Real Deal” Brandon Locke and Ryan Bisbal brawled from the backstage area to ringside. NECW’s Sheldon Goldberg threatened suspension of both and stripping the Triple Crown Championship off of Locke if they didn’t break up the fight immediately. Goldberg reminded both that the main event was a non-title match with the stipulations if Locke won, Ivy was his valet for 30 days, and if Bisbal won he’d get to wrestle one last time for the Triple Crown at Birthday Bash. Goldberg then announced that to keep the main event, free of interference and to have a decisive winner the match would take place in a steel cage.
In a match for the NECW Tag Team Titles, reigning champions Rican Havoc (“Punisher” Don Vega and “That Freakin’ Rican” Jose Perez) defeated the team of “The Talent” TJ Richter and Mr. Munroe with a modified bearhug elbowdrop combo to retain the titles.
With the World Women’s Wrestling title on the line, current champion Mistress Belmont, with her manager “The Manager of Champions” Sean Gorman, bested Puerto Rican sensation Ivy by submission with a cross face-chicken wing.
Next up was an NECW TV Title match. TV Champion “The Heat” Kris Pyro defended against archrival “The King of New York” David Cash. Fans were swinging their NECW rally towels supporting Pyro to a successful defense when he countered Cash’s attempt at a TKO with a small package.
After the intermission was the main event. A non-title cage match with the previously mentioned stipulations between NECW Triple Crown Champion “The Real Deal” Brandon Locke, with the “Rock God” Brett Adams, and Ryan Bisbal. Competitors could win by pinfall, submission or by escaping the cage. Early in the match, Locke was lacerated on the steel cage and bled profusely throughout the match. Later, Julian Starr came to the ring attempting to hold the door closed as Bisbal tried to escape. “Handsome” Johnny Hayes made his return to the ring and bested Starr pummeling him from ringside. “The Rock God” then also attempted to prevent Bisbal from exiting the cage, but a Ivy ran to ringside and knocked him out with a forearm to the jaw. As the race was on to exit the cage, Locke crwled towards the door and Bisbal scaled the cage. Ivy slammed the door in the face of Locke and Bisbal dropped to the floor winning the match and the main event shot at the NECW Triple Crown on August 7th at Birthday Bash 10.
