NECW presents the 2015 IRON 8 Championship

New England Championship Wrestling proudly presents a very special event the 2015 IRON 8 Championship, Saturday night, May 9 at the Cove Community Center, 19 East Corning Street, Beverly, MA with a 7 PM bell time.

The IRON 8 is an NECW tradition and one of the area's premiere wrestling events of the year. Billed as "the ultimate test of skill, stamina and strategy," 8 men are selected by the NECW Championship Committee from both inside and outside the NECW ranks. They are then paired into an opening round of 4 one on one match-ups. The four winners of those bouts then go on to face each other the same night in a four way, 45 minute iron man match. The man who scores the most pins or submissions in the 45 minute period is the winner and the 2015 IRON 8 Champion.

In order to win the event, a wrestler must be capable of wrestling for an hour first against a top flight competitor on a one on one basis, then against 3 other opponents in an all out battle for athletic supremacy.

The first two competitors in this year's IRON 8 are former two time NECW Television Champion, "The Masshole" Mike McCarthy and "The Canadian Giant" Genesis. More competitors will be announced shortly.

In addition to the tournament there will be one additional match, NECW Heavyweight Champion, Brad Hollister will defend his title against the former two time champion, Slyck Wagner Brown, who surrendered the title to Hollister last year, after Hollister won the 2014 IRON 8.

Tickets for the 2015 IRON 8 Championship are $15 in advance, $20 at the door. Kids under 12 are just $10. They can be purchased online here, or by calling 1-800-838-3006.
