The New England Wrestling Weekend Preview: 4/20/12 – 4/21/12
Our weekly New England Wrestling Weekend Preview features cards and advertised wrestlers for as many shows as possible throughout New England this weekend. Cards are always subject to change and matches listed do not necessarily constitute the only matches on the card (there may be more).
April 20
Chaotic Wrestling, 8 p.m., Elks Lodge (Woburn, Mass.)
CW Heavyweight Championship: Brian Fury (c) vs. Mike Nice
Featuring 3 “Beat the Clock” matches, with the quickest winner earning a CW title shot
Beat the Clock: Tomasso Ciampa vs. Chase Del Monte
Beat the Clock: “Kingpin” Brian Milonas vs. “The Enforcer” Max Bauer
Beat the Clock: Julian Starr vs. “The Real Deal” Brandon Locke
CW New England Championship: Matt Taven (c) vs. Biff Busick
CW Tag Team Championships: The Logan Brothers (c) vs. Taka Suzuki/Mikaze
- NEPW Notes: A huge card in Woburn featuring six of the top talents across New England. Plus, with CW Heavyweight Champion, Brian Fury on hand to see who will be the next to challenge him for the title, things could explode. Fury also defends the title vs. Mike Nice. The Milonas-Bauer feud has been boiling for months (Bauer knocked out Milonas with a baseball bat a few weeks ago) and Ciampa-Del Monte is sure to be a very athletic match. Locke cost Starr the CW title in a match last month, so the high-flyer will be looking for revenge, along with another bid at claiming gold.
- UPDATE: Just minutes after posting this story, “The Sure Thing” Mark Shurman made sure EVERYONE knows that he’ll be in both Woburn and Littleton this weekend. He made his CW debut last month, and things didn’t go as planned, as Biff Busick scored the pinfall victory. But the outspoken, Shurman will be in Woburn and Littleton this weekend. What does he have in store?
Showcase Pro Wrestling, 7:47 p.m, Tauton Elks (Taunton, Mass.)
Showcase Pro Wrestling Championship: Cargill Vinton (c) vs. “Heartthrob”Danny Cama (from Taunton)
Showcase Pro Wrestling Tag Team Championship: Night and Damon (c) vs. Mac Attack
Heavyweight Super Challenge: Reverend Redemptions (444 lbs.) vs. Crazy Chainsaw Bastard – 353lbs.
Also featuring Sgt. Muldoon with Convicts, “Nature boy” Gary Gold & The Portuguese Stallion
- NEPW Notes: The hometown hero, Danny Cama, getting a shot at the championship in his hometown should make for an electric main event. The Heavyweight Super Challenge will make for a tremendous visual as well.
April 21
Wrestling Star Wars, 6:30 p.m., Newbury Fire Hall (Newbury, Mass.)
WSW Heavyweight Championship: Todd Sople (c) vs. Johnny Cromwell
Mask vs. Hair Match: Jim Sergeant vs. Chris “36” Chamberz

Singles Match: Gunar Rowe vs. Freight Train Dan
Handicap Match: Justin Silence vs. Cuban Assassin’s 1 & 2
Triple Threat: Joe Moakley vs. Kyle Andrews vs. Alex Creed
Tag Team Match: The M1nute Men vs. Scufflin’ Hillbilly’s
- NEPW Note: A gigantic card up in Newbury that I might check out after heading over to CW on Friday night in Woburn. Like I said last week, I’m a big fan of tournaments which has be excited for the crowning of a new New England Champion on Saturday, in tournament format. Gunar Rowe is also on the show and The M1nute Men vs. the Scufflin’ Hillbillies should be a unique tag match.
Chaotic Wrestling, 7 p.m., Littleton Opera House (Littleton, NH)
CW Heavyweight Championship: Brian Fury (c) vs. Julian Starr
Falls Count Anywhere: Brian Milonas vs. Max Bauer
CW Women’s Championship: Mercedes KV (c) vs. TBA
CW New England Championship: Matt Taven vs. TBA
CW Tag Team Championships: The Logan Brothers vs. TBA
- NEPW Notes: The night after big card in Woburn, CW heads north to Littleton, New Hampshire. Fury and Starr ALWAYS have great matches — there is tremendous chemistry there — so expect a classic in the heavyweight title bout (assuming Fury survives his defense vs. Mike Nice on Friday). Then Milonas and Bauer, Falls Count Anywhere, will be a BRAWL. Plus three other title matches scheduled to be on this card. Really big show.
All Out Mayhem, 7 p.m., Newbegin Community Center (Gray, Me.)
Featuring: AOM Heavyweight Champion “The Living Legend” Larry Zbyszko, John Cena Sr., Robbie Ellis, Coco the Mime, Ryan Michaels, “Extreme” Adam Hastey, “Rugged” Rick Daniels, Gino Martino, Ryan London, the New England Wrecking Crew
- NEPW Notes: Larry Zbyszko is truly a living legend, so go out of your way to catch him if you’re in the area. You also never know what John Cena Sr. will say. I checked out AOM last year when I was up in Maine and I was really impressed with the show. The New England Wrecking Crew is also a big attraction on this card.
Showcase Pro Wrestling, 7:07 p.m., SPWTC (Woonsocket, RI)
Tag Team Match: Cargill Vinton (SPW Champion) Buck Nasty, The Convicts with Sgt. Muldoon vs. “Sensational” Scott Levesque, Nicholas Night and Mark “Flex” Damon
Singles Match: Jon Thronill vs. “Kolorful” Kenn Karizma
Also Featuring: “Widowmaker” Eric Shredd, “5 Star Scott Leduc with Johnny Ray Justice, Keanu “the Samoan Destroyer” and Monster Attack – Monster Mac and Trainee #1
- NEPW Notes: That six-man main event is going to be a very good — and likely very WILD — match.
