New England Championship Wrestling is set to screen a collection of “lost matches” in Massachusetts in November. The promotion announced that a collection of eight matches will screen at the Peabody Black Box on November 7th, as you can see in the full announcement below:

New England Championship Wrestling proudly presents a unique pro wrestling event – a theatrical presentation on the big screen entitled New England Championship Wrestling: The Lost Matches Live!
This world premiere event, presented in association with Proving Ground, will be presented at the Peabody Black Box on Thursday evening, November 7 at 7:00 PM.

NECW promoter Sheldon Goldberg has assembled eight matches from the NECW archives that were either never released on video or are unavailable on YouTube. These matches have been assembled into a big screen presentation with a special introduction by PWInsider’s Mike Johnson, plus guest commentary from MLW and Lucha Libre AAA’s Joe Dombrowski and New Japan Strong’s Veda Scott.

The matches include local legends, local stars before they became famous and a couple of Hall of Famers for good measure.

“This collection of matches is truly representative of the rich history of New England Championship Wrestling,” says Sheldon Goldberg. “It really represents the 20 plus year history of the company and shows why NECW was one of the greatest New England area independent promotions of its era.”
