Are you a pro wrestling fan and searching for something to watch?  

New England Championship Wrestling is celebrating their 20^th anniversary, and the promotion has quite a few shows on YouTube!

NECW founder and President Sheldon Goldberg is very upbeat about his promotion, despite the inability, at the moment, to put on live shows!

“We’ve always been active in fundraising for local charities, youth and school groups.” Goldberg says. “As we’ve approached the 20^th anniversary, I’ve been analyzing and evaluating what NECW has been and accomplished, and looked at where we want to go from here.”

In the first 20 years, NECW has also included in shows a number of stars before they became famous, including Koffi Kingston, John Cena, Sasha Banks, ( her first professional match was in NECW ) Becky Lynch, ( her first match in America was for NECW ), and others.

“NECW was not responsible for their careers, but we’ve been an important step for a lot of people.” Goldberg states. “There is nothing like seeing that kid you helped along show up on national television!”

Goldberg’s background was in theater production and publicity. He knew people in the wresting business, and always thought it was great show business.  While Goldberg works full time for an insurance company, wrestling is still his passion.

The next step for Goldberg and NECW is finding, then purchasing, a venue.  “Venues have always been a challenge for smaller promotions, and ‘we’d like to establish our own.” Goldberg explains. “It’s difficult for any business to be open when you want to be open if you don’t have your own shop, your own venue.”

“We’re searching for a first - class venue that would hold 300 to 500 people.” He continues. “It would have to be family friendly and television friendly, and we’d anticipate running a number of nights per week, as I have absolutely no doubt the audience is there!”

The plan would be to not just have the live audience, but also live stream the shows. “NECW had 2 successful runs on television over the years, and we have terrific experience with television as well as online and social media platforms.” Goldberg says.

But right now, fans can go to YouTube and watch many past productions.  You can access through the NECW website:  www.NECW.tv    Something fun to watch while we wait for the world to recover!
