Indy TV Sampler- New England Championship Wrestling

By request of Dean, we take a look at NECW one of the longer running indies out there

The show starts with DC Dillenger cutting a promo and introducing his manager Sean Gorman who he was reuniting with. Both guys were above average interviews. Nothing special, but they got their point across solidly

DC Dillenger v. Matt Taven

This really felt like an indy match from 1998, the kind of thing which would be underneath Metal Master v. Jimmy Snuka in an armory in Sheboygan, PA. DC is a classic indy heel, pleather pants, stringy receeding hair. Taven has Sean Simpson hair and rock and roll tights (using the MTV logo to spell out his name), Lots of dropkicks, armdrags, choking on the ropes, 10 punches in the corner kind of stuff. FInish has Dillenger grabbing the ropes for the pin. The ref reversing the decision at the crowds bequest. Taven saying he didn't want to win by DQ, asking for five more minutes. The crowd chants five more minutes, the heel manager rubs his fingers together demanding more money. Dillenger tries to sneak attack, and quickly gets rolled up for the pin. It was pro wrestling as fuck

This isn't the kind of thing I would go out of my way to watch on a regular basis, but the crowd seemed into the whole thing and they clearly know how to put on a show.
