NECW Spring Breakdown April 26!

New England Championship Wrestling returns to live action on Saturday night,
April 26th at the National Guard Armory, 1000 Hancock Street, Quincy, MA for
SPRING BREAKDOWN. Bell time is 7:00 PM.

The main event is a very special triple threat match with the NECW Triple Crown
Championship on the line. Champion, Big Rick Fuller has been ordered to defend
against not one, but two opponents at SPRING BREAKDOWN. Antonio "The Promise"
Thomas, who missed his chance against Fuller due to injury last month, had
negotiated his way into a title shot for April 26th. However, last month, the
giant-like Max Bauer won the #1 contender position defeating "Die Hard" Eddie
Edwards. While Bauer was not successful against Fuller last month, the
championship committee citing the controversial way last month's match ended,
has granted Bauer the chance to both go after Fuller's title and get revenge on
Antonio Thomas at the same time. This is one battle where anything could
happen!

NECW Tag Team Champions, "Rocket" Fred Curry and Chase Del Monte have signed a
return match against PRIDE (Dan Freitas & Brian Nunes) with the titles on the
line. Last month, PRIDE turned on Curry & Del Monte after coming up short in
their match, delivering a vicious post-match attack. The champions have
demanded another match against the former NECW & PWF Tag Team Champions - one of
the most storied teams in the history of the promotion. PRIDE have made it
clear that they are going all out to recapture the tag team titles and dominate
the tag team division in NECW.

In a special grudge match, it will be "Die Hard" Eddie Edwards taking up the
cause of D.C. Dillinger, who was suspended last month for his attack on Elektra
Arion. It will be Edwards taking on "The Golden Greek" Alex Arion in what
should be a heated contest.

Also signed for SPRING BREAKDOWN is a special IRON 8 Showcase Match. The 5th
Annual IRON 8 Championship will be taking place in Quincy on Saturday night, May
31 and this match will be viewed by the championship committee to determine who
may be granted a spot in this year's tournament. It will be "The Real Deal"
Brandon Locke, who was a finalist in last year tournament, facing Team Cairo
member, Scott Osbourne.

In a World Women's Wrestling feature match, former WWW Champion, Lexxus sees
action against Amber.

The self-proclaimed "Future Superstar" Ryan Matthews squares off the Oriental
star, Makoto, who will be making his debut in Quincy.

All this, plus Jason Blade and Team Nightmare in action and more.

Tickets are on sale now at all FYE locations, K.C. Sportscards, 33 Temple
Street, Quincy Center and online at www.NECWwrestling.com.

NECW Home Video is releasing BIRTHDAY BASH 7: CAGED FURY on DVD next week. The
7th anniversary card for New England Championship Wrestling is topped by a
Triple Crown Championship Match as D.C. Dillinger defends against "Straight"
Edge" Brian Fury inside a steel cage!

The Rush Report Independent's Days Version

Flights being cancelled across the world have had independent show rosters in all kinds of turmoil. Please take that in mind when reading results or attending shows that who ever didn't appear where ever, these situations are beyond the wrestler's and the promotion's control.

IWC in Franklin, PA has a huge line up with their legend's show tonight. Matches on the card include Demolition vs The Powers of Pain, Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake vs Greg " The Hammer" Valentine, Marty Jannetty vs Virgil, Jake "The Snake" Roberts vs John McChesney, and Abdullah The Butcher vs Tommy Rich. Also on top of that Ricky Reyes, M Dogg 20, Jimmy Hart, Johnny Gargano, Facade, and Raymond Rowe. This is a stellar card for the price of tickets too with them ranging from $8 to $25.

Raven defeated The AWF Heavyweight Champion TNT for the his title last night in Australia. Raven's first defense of the belt will be tonight against " Platinum Player" JT Robinson.

There will be a Shane Douglas training seminar put on by NWA3000 Fighting Atheletes and The Revolution Peroresu Dojo on May 10th from 10am to 12 pm for only $40. The seminar will be held in Gold's Gym in Limerick, PA. The first 25 to sign up will receive a free Douglas T-shirt. NWA3000@yahoo.com for more.

In closing in the huge rumor department(I say that because this story has yet to be confirmed), Tod Gordon(former ECW promoter) is said to be leaving his promotion Pro Wrestling Unplugged in June. The reason for his leaving and the future of the promotion is still unknown.
