It is an announcement that has shaken the very core of NCW. Though the name Ruy Batello is synonymous with Northeast Championship Wrestling, on August 5th when NCW returns to the Dedham VFW Post for Collision Course, it will mark the final appearance for "The Portuguese Sensation".

NCW President Mike Paiva confirmed the rumors, stating that Batello's contract had expired while he was the reigning Heavyweight Champion, and has opted to not re-sign a new deal. It seemed Ruy was well on his way to regaining the NCW Title from "Revolution" Chris Venom, who stole the Championship from him in a highly controversial Title Match back at Silence the Violence V. Reasons for Ruy's retirement are being kept private, although he has requested a farewell speech as well as a final Match of his choosing at NCW Collision Course, which President Paiva has surprisingly agreed too.

"Despite our recent differences, Ruy Batello was a valuable part of the NCW roster, and he will be sorely missed," Paiva smirked. "I think it's only fair that I give Ruy one last chance to shine. Maybe he can work The Wisconsin Badger or something. What's Duff up too these days?"

Derik Destiny's Old School Challenge
By TheNCWOnline; 6/14/06

Despite all the buzz surrounding the announcement of Ruy Batello's retirment, there is only one thing on the mind of Derik Destiny, and that is the NCW New England Championship. The Pioneer of The Original Kings Of Old School, Destiny was outraged that his Match against Doug Summers at NCW Hostile Takeover wasn't against "Prettyboy" Doug Somers, a former AWA World Tag Team Champion of the 80's.

"Who does this clown think he is? Trying to impersonate a legend like that. Here I was looking forward to a classic old school exhibition against an idol of mine Doug Somers, and out comes this joker in a skirt! I even told 'Textbook' to stay home because of it," Destiny stated. With his whole night thrown off course, Destiny ate a picture perfect "beautiful disaster" knee crusher from the Champion. In the aftermath, "The Old School Messiah" has thrown out an interesting challenge to Summers.

"I want a rematch, and I want it done on my terms. If Doug Summers calls himself a real Champion then he will face me August 5th in Dedham in what I call the Old School Challenge. Old School rules, with none of this new age bullcrap! Just good old fashioned wrestling!"

Once getting word of Destiny's challenge, Summers eagerly agreed to another showdown, stating he'd love to hit the "beautiful disaster" again on that big juicy melon of Destiny's.

A Hostile Look At Hostile Takeover
By The Southern Skelton; 4/25/06

Hey y'all, The Southern Skelton was thick in the middle of NCW's Hostile Takeover at that creepy Elk's Lodge in Groton CT. Rumor has it that the reason no one came was because they made everyone sign a weird ominous ledger before entering the building. Creepy! Let's get right to the action mon ami.

Match 1: New England Title Match - Doug Summers vs. Derik Destiny

Prior to the match Derik Destiny announced the match as a “Legends Match” because he confused NCW’s New England Champion Doug Summers with former AWA Tag Team Champion “Pretty Boy” Doug Somers. Destiny truly is old school, as anyone who has followed New England independent wrestling in the past few years is aware of NCW’s Doug Summers is and would not confuse him with a wrestler from the AWA out of the 1980s. Summers took the fight to Destiny, but Destiny took control by pulling Summer’s face into the turnbuckle. As the sole representative of “The Original Kings of Old School,” Destiny used every trick in his arsenal against Summers, including a second rope Legdrop and a first rope Back Rake. After about eight furious minutes of wrestling action Summers was able to pick up the win with “The Phillips Head Death Driver” (Kneedrop Driver) and retain the New England Title.

Match 2: Mike Marvelous vs. “The Rocket” Fred Curry, Jr. (with Chris Venom)

Fred Curry made his way to the ring with “Revolution” Chris Venom, and was very patient about stepping into the ring against the firey up-and-comer Mike Marvelous, who was making his NCW debut. After about 3 minutes of “Get in the ring!” chants by the crowd, Curry finally entered the ring to start the match. Curry dominated the match despite Marvelous displaying signs of greatness, and Curry continued to slide in and out of the ring at his leisure to discusss strategy with Venom which clearly frustrated Marvelous. Curry picked up the win with “The Rocket Launcher” (Missile Dropkick) in about 8 minutes.

Match 3: The Big Islanders vs. X-Rated

Both teams made their NCW debut, with the well traveled and experienced Big Islanders taking on the up-and-coming team of X-Rated. The Islanders weigh well over 400 pounds each, and X-Rated weighed in at a combined weight of about 550 pounds. The Islanders brutalized X-Rated, and despite the size difference X-Rated stayed competitive throughout the match. Despite a heartfelt effort, the Islanders were able to pick up the win in about 10 minutes with the Atlantis Driver (Over-the-Shoulder Piledriver).

A pre-recorded interview with NCW President Mike Paiva was aired where he announced that he will not be at Hostile Takeover, and that Chris Venom would not be defending the NCW Heavyweight Championship against Ruy Batello, despite Batello’s demand for a rematch after being screwed out of the title by Chris Venom at Silence The Violence V. The led to Venom issuing an open contract for a match with his Title on the line to anyone except Ruy Batello.

Match 4: NCW Heavyweight Championship Match – “Revolution” Chris Venom (with Fred Curry, Jr.) vs. Davey Loomis

Davey Loomis made his return to NCW after a leave of absence to focus on his amateur wrestling career to the delight of the crowd with a newfound look of confidence. Loomis hails from nearby Plainfield, CT, and is an accomplished amateur wrestler, but he stepped up in a major way taking on an established professional wrestler like Chris Venom. Venom was accompanied to the ring by Fred Curry Jr., who attacked Loomis on the outside of the ring on more than one occasion. Many would call this match the match of the night, and I’d be hard pressed to disagree as Loomis and Venom tore the house down! Loomis was very impressive and looked to be out-wrestling Venom, however Venom turned it around with underhanded tactics. After regaining brief control of the match Loomis took a big risk attempting a Moonsault, and Venom was able to get out of the way and connect with a Pinwheel Suplex for the win.

Post-match Curry and Venom assaulted Loomis until former champion Ruy Batello made the save, literally chasing Venom and Curry out of the building! After helping Loomis to his feet Batello was blindsided by Triplelicious, who knocked Batello out with the H-Cubed (Inverted Diamond Cutter). Triplelicious referred to himself as “Mr. NCW” and informed Batello that prior to the show he had a match signed by President Mike Paiva against him, stating that if Triplelicious is able to defeat Batello in their match he will become #1 contender for the NCW Heavyweight Championship.

Match 5: Four Corners Sudden Death Match – Rob Impact vs. Cenobite vs. Avil Graves vs. Angel

This match saw Avil Graves and Angel make their NCW debuts, and Cenobite make his first appearance back in NCW since last year’s Big City Rumble. Prior to the match Graves offered a delicious sandwich to anyone that would lay down and let him win the match, however the sandwich was eaten by Derik Destiny who happened to be passing by the ring area before the offer was made which voided the offer. This match was something reminiscent of the early days of NCW, with 4 competitors putting it all on the line for the win including the use of a kendo stick and a chair after the referee was knocked out. Impact and Angel were the crowd favorites in this one, displaying great technical skill in the opening moments of the match. After Avil Graves and Angel took the fight to the outside, Rob Impact was able to win the match with a Shooting Star Press on Cenobite.

A pre-recorded interview with MTE and Tim Kilgore aired where MTE announced that himself and Kilgore would be taking on Generation Slam for the Tag Team Championship.

Match 6: Osirus vs. Nocturne (with Avil Graves)

The crowd in Groton quickly took to Osirus and was really into this match. Nocturne was accompanied to the ring by Avil Graves, who for the most part seemed to be aimed at giving the referee grief more than anything. Ever the unpleasant individual, Nocturne seemed to have a legitimate grudge against the Groton fans and went out of his way to make them unhappy. This was a strong back-and-forth match, which saw a lot of high impact moves. Osirus was able to get the win in about 10 minutes with “The Final Flash” (Modified Twist of Fate).

Match 7: Ruy Batello vs. Triplelicious *If Triplelicious wins he will become #1 contender for the NCW Heavyweight Title*

Ruy started the match off strong, delighting the crowd (especially one woman in particular who was wearing an "I Love Ruy" shirt), but to the crowd's dismay Triplelicious was able to get control of the match early on. Batello was able to fight back and picked up the win with Ruy-Nation (Double Underhook Front Suplex). This match proved that Batello still has the heart of a champion, and is an important step on his way back to title competition.

Match 8: NCW Tag Team Championship – Generation Slam (Tim Pittman and Jon Thornhill with Amber) vs. Tim Kilgore and MTE

Generation Slam took a quick advantage after an attempted sneak attack by Kilgore and MTE with Pittman tossing MTE out of the ring, Thornhill tossing Kilgore out of the ring, and Amber tossing MTE out of the ring after he climbed back in. After a back and forth battle MTE and Tim Kilgore were able to gain control of the match with Kilgore cheapshotting Thornhill in the throat, at which point Amber got up on the apron to alert the referee to what transpired. MTE and Kilgore dragged Amber in the ring in an attempt to assault her, however she was able to pull off a double team move on Kilgore and MTE, getting Kilgore in a Flying Headscissors and Tornado DDTing MTE. With MTE down and out Pittman was able to pin him yet again with a Senton, which will no doubt be a sour note for MTE.

What I Did On My Winter Vacation
By Bud "The Man" Shurwalter; 4/18/06

If there has been one defining trait for the wrestlers of NCW and NCW itself, it has always been character. In nine years, I've seen alot of action good and bad but the constant has always been character. Hell Ruy Batello got to be the most popular wrestler in the promotion based on character alone. The charisma he and MTE showcased while teaming back in 2000-2002 lead a wave of momentum leading to Batello's Heavyweight Title win in May 2002. Even outside the ring, NCW's finest have some of the most outgoing and entertaining characters around, and during NCW's hiatus these guys (and gals) have had to keep themselves busy and ready for NCW's big return.

The NCW Tag Team Champions Jon Thornhill, Tim Pittman, and the lovely Amber joined together back in October for NO FEAR's Tag Title Invitational, overcoming huge odds to become the Tag Team Champions and forming the group known as Generation SLAM! Since then Gen SLAM have been inseperable, and even though Thornhill has been traveling up and down the southern states with the likes of Tracey Smothers, the trio have done their best to keep themselves in tandem shape with the competitive sport of.. Bowling?

Generation SLAM! Jon Thornhill, Amber, & Tim Pittman

The NCW foundation was rocked when the dastardly brotherly duo of Tim Kilgore & "The Ladies Man" MTE challenged Generation SLAM to a 3 on 2 bowling showdown at a local bowling alley. The reigning Champions accepted the challenge, even giving The Brothers Tootsie a 100 point handicap. After a brutal game and thanks to some moral support from "The Portugese Sensation" Ruy Batello, Thornhill, Pittman, & Amber destroyed Kilgore & MTE, thanks inpart to a huge beer frame- Three strikes in a row for the Tag Team Champions!

At least they're not blue balls, says Kilgore

The amateur standout of NCW, Plainfield's own Davey Loomis, made his pro wrestling debut at NCW's 2005 Big City Rumble last April. Nearing his one year anniversary as a pro, Davey devoured his amateur competition this season, winning ECC Champion for the second year in a row, also winning 160lbs Champion. Though Davey's passion is his amateur wrestling, Loomis is eager to prove himself in NCW, and is ready to take things to the next level.

And after catching up with the former NCW Heavyweight Champion, I've learned how angry Ruy actually is about being screwed out of the Championship back at Silence the Violence. Unfortunately sitting around won't solve anything, and while Batello waits until his next chance at the Title, he has decided to sit back and enjoy his favorite pastime- Baseball! An avid Red Sox fan, Ruy and his girlfriend got up close and personal with the Red Sox Nation at a recent Fenway game on Easter Sunday!

Enjoying some haagen-daz, Batello coached the Red Sox team on all the tools they'll need to get back to the top of the mountain. Unfortunately when Manny Ramirez made a crack about Ruy's helmetly like hair, Batello snapped hitting Ramirez with "Ruination".

The Presidential Address
By President Mike Paiva; 1/12/06

The votes have been tallied and no recount is needed. First of all, I would like to thank the fans for their votes and support. It has been almost a year since I stepped into a NCW ring, or any ring for that matter. I have always had a great relationship with the NCW committee, since being Tag Team Champions with Jason Blade and Mercedez as Fuzion back in 2002.

No offense to the other candidates, but as far as I was concerned, I was the only one for the job. As I mentioned in Dedham, the objective of my administration here in Northeast Championship Wrestling is simple, to be “Fair and Balanced.” As hard as it might be to believe it, it is true. My door is always open to all of the NCW staff and talent. I proved this to the Maine State Posse in Dedham. After interrupting my speech, I could have easily not listened to their pleas. But being fair and balanced I decided to add another referee outside the ring for their title match with Generation SLAM. Believe me; I know what it is like to be screwed out of a title match. That being said, I did everything in my power to give the MSP what they wanted, it is not my problem that they could not finish the job. I believe that Alex Chamberlain and Scotty Vegas need to regroup and reconsider what the have to do to become the NCW Tag Team Champions. The tag titles mean as much to me as anyone here in NCW, that is why the belts will be treated as an equal to the Heavyweight title. Stay tuned, I have some great ideas for the tag team division.

Now this might arguably be the hottest story in NCW’s history. The NCW website is calling it a, “Sensational Screwjob!” I call it wrestling. I can’t tell you how many fans in Dedham wanted me to just go in there and reverse the decision. Page twelve in the NCW handbook specifically states, “The referee’s decision is always final.” Read it again, it says FINAL. I am not about to rewrite the book here folks. These referees have a very tough job, and they can’t and never will catch everything in a match that isn’t fair. That being said, I can do all I can to prevent things like this from happening (see the tag match in Dedham, two refs!), but once it happens and the referee makes his decision, it stands. Ruy Batello has held the NCW Heavyweight Title since May 18, 2002, I understand his frustration. But that in no way condones hitting your new President. Ruy, it’s a good thing that kid jumped in my way, because if you connected with that punch, I can assure you that it would be a long time before you saw a rematch for the title you hold so dear to your heart!

That’s it for this edition of the Presidential Address. Fans and wrestlers alike can email me with suggestions and if you want to hate, well you can do that too. Contact me at PresidentPaiva@hotmail.com. Thank you and God Bless NCW.

Silence the Violence Review
By NCW; 1/9/06

Silence the Violence V has come and gone, and NCW may never be the same again. With new NCW President Mike Paiva taking the reigns of the promotion, controversey immeadiately struck leading to "Revolution" Chris Venom winning the Heavyweight Championship from "The Portuguese Sensation" Ruy Batello in one half of the double Main Event.

The night kicked off when Triplelicious took on the popular "Hawkeye" Evan Hunter in singles action. Despite not having longtime manager JC Marxxx in his corner, Trip shined against Hunter who put up a valiant effort himself until falling to the "H-Cubed".

Originally scheduled to be a tag contest between The Italian Body Squad and Davey Loomis & Rob Impact, Rocco Abruzzi proclaimed that Loomis was too scared to face off with him and would rather compete in amateur competition (Loomis was obligated to compete in one of his High School Amateur Matches forcing him off the show) than take him head on. Feeling he had nothing to prove, Abruzzi let IBS partner Bryce Andrews take on Rob Impact one on one instead. Impact and Andrews both impressed, pulling out all the stops in order to get the victory. In the end Impact was looking for a high risk move off the top, leading to "The Strangler" intervening causing a DQ. Abruzzi & Andrews then went to work on Impact laying him out with Rocco utilizing his "Stranglehold" submission, sending a strong message to Davey Loomis.

Up next color commentator Maniacal Mark made his way to the ring, introducing The Original Kings Of Old School- Derik Destiny, "The Pinnacle" Paul Lombardi, and "Textbook" Dean Tatum. Destiny & Lombardi then competed in tag team action, taking on the high flying Afterburn. Even though Afterburn put up a great effort, TOKOOS dominated over the young duo picking up a victory after Lombardi slammed Destiny onto Ray Diamond.

Kelly Valentine picked up an impressive victory in Dedham, defeating the debuting Mark Moment in a very entertaining Match.

The 2005 Presidential Election winner was revealed, as former NCW Tag Team Champion "The Full Effect" Mike Paiva made his way out to the ring. Paiva promised to be a fair and impartial President, though the crowd already seemed to form their own opinions of the former Fuzion member. Before he could continue however The Maine State Posse interjected, still fuming over their loss to Generation SLAM at NO FEAR. Wanting a fair chance to get the belts, Paiva agreed to bring in a 2nd official outside the ring in an effort to guarantee a clean Match between Generation SLAM and The Posse.

In a Triple Threat Match, The Wisconsin Badger emerged victorious in a shocking upset against Tim Kilgore and Cameron Matthews, who where both thrown off by the antics of the creature from Wisconsin. Even though both men had seconds in their corner (Kilgore had his brother MTE, while Matthews had "Hot Stuff" Paul Hudson) The Badger's mindgames proved to be too much, knocking Kilgore out with a loaded soda bottle leading to "The Badger Splash" for the win. After the Match The Badger brought some fans into the ring to dance with him and official Zac The Ref.

NCW New England Champion Doug Summers made his first Title defense against the former Champion "Hot Stuff" Paul Hudson in what was labeled their "Final Encounter". In another spectacular Match both men took it to the limit, and despite having Cameron Matthews in his corner Summers was able to pull off a victory with his "Beautiful Disaster" to get the win.

In his NCW debut, "The Rocket" Fred Curry picked up an impressive victory over "The Immortal" Zack Static.

In the first half of the double Main Event, the 2005 Big City Rumble winner Chris Venom challenged the reigning NCW Heavyweight Champion Ruy Batello. President Paiva decided to return to ringside for the double ME, in order to keep an eye on the action. Venom did everything in his power to keep "The Portuguese Sensation" down, but Batello kept coming back despite his best efforts. Ruy believed he had things finished when he nailed "Ruination" on Venom, only to see The Original Kings Of Old School return to the scene to break things up. Paul Lombardi then tossed Venom a pair of brass knuckles, which Venom utilized to knock the wind out of Batello. As Lombardi pocketed the knucks in clear view of President Paiva, Venom used the ropes as leverage to get a cheap pin over Batello winning his second NCW Championship. A furious Batello went right to the President, who claimed to not see anything. When the crowd urged Batello to knock out Paiva, "The Full Effect" pulled the young timekeeper right in harms way, forcing Ruy to back off. Officials then told Ruy to backoff, trying to restore order to the chaotic scene.

Once things got settled, the NCW Tag Team Title Match was set to go down with Generation SLAM defending against Scotty Vegas & Alex Chamberlin. Before the Match began, Amber took the microphone promising that Gen SLAM would kick The Maine State Posse's ass just like The Pats kicked the Jaguars ass. With the second referee on the outside, The Posse held a strong advantage over Pittman & Thornhill, trying to isolate the underdog duo. In the end after the 2nd referee was knocked out inadvertantley Thornhill & Pittman finished Chamberlin off, with a combo high cross body/senton bomb to retain the NCW Tag Team Championship.

In the end there are many questions regarding Silence the Violence, including the intentions of the NCW President. Keep checking back as TheNCWOnline.net will have an exclusive interview with the new Heavyweight Champion Chris Venom by the end of the week.
