“The Ace” Mike Montero- 11% (Tie)
Brett Ryan Gosselin- 11% (Tie)
Without question 2019 will go down as the Year of Dick! After a tumultuous 2018 feuding with THE UNCONTROLLED 2019 saw “Insane” Dick Lane buckle down with title aspirations, nearly winning defeating “The Ace” Mike Montero for the New England Championship at NCW MANIA in April. Lane then found himself in a bitter rivalry with “The American Hammer” Dan Terry and his war on the ‘cartoon characters’ of NCW with Lane finally silencing Terry at WrestleFest to win the Ox Baker Season Cup. In the end Lane used that Ox Baker Cup to cash in on a straight jacketed Montero at WrestleFest taking a page from those that wronged him to win his first singles title in NCW. With an incredible year in the books for “The Meta-Human Super-Villain” Lane was able to walk away with 18% of the vote to become the 2019 Wrestler of the Year.
“The Masshole” Mike McCarthy and “RIOT” Kellan Thomas continued their professional rivalry as two of the best wrestlers competing in NCW today, winning 14% (McCarthy) and 13% (Thomas) of the cote. Rounding out the top votes was a tie between the former NCW Heavyweight Champion BRG and former NCW New England Champion Mike Montero with both men earning 11% of the vote.

“The Suplex Sweetheart” Isana- 50%
“Picture Perfect” Sierra- 17%
“The Platinum Queen” Angel Sinclair– 14%
Kennedi Copeland- 12%
The only true blowout in this years awards saw “The Suplex Sweetheart” Isana move on from her award winning breakout year of 2018 to become the 2019 Women’s Wrestler of the Year winning 50% of the vote. Some say Sierra stole the 2018 Women’s Wrestler Award leading to Sierra literally smashing it over Isana’s head at NCW 2019 bringing their rivalry to a new level throughout the 2019 Season.
“Picture Perfect” was able to garner 17% of the vote this year with “The Platinum Queen” Angel Sinclair right behind her with 14% for a strong 2nd half of 2019 with two big victories at Ring of Thrones and WrestleFest. Rounding out the top votes with 12% was Kennedi Copeland who arrived on scene this year to help Isana in her war against Sierra and her Mean Girls.
NCW 2019 Tag Team of the Year
Detox- 31%
The Little Giants- 30%
The Middlesex Express- 21%
Mutually Assured Destruction- 11%
For the second year in a row The Little Giants (Robbie “The Giant” Araujo and Bullet Joe) find themselves just votes away from becoming the Tag Team of the Year, only to see some conniving tag team swoop in to take their place. The 2019 Tag Team of the Year might be the most conniving however as Jason Devine and Ricky Medeiros have stolen the award with 31% of the vote, defeating The Little Giants by only 6 votes.
The former NCW Tag Team Champions and 2018 Tag Team of the Year The Middlesex Express earned 21% of the vote despite not teaming much in the second half of the year while the volatile tandem of Perry Von Vicious and “Iron” Rip Byson won 11% of the vote.

NCW New England Championship. (c) Mike Montero vs. “RIOT” Kellan Thomas- 15% (Tie)
“The Masshole” Mike McCarthy vs. Channing Thomas- 14%
Moments after Robbie “The Giant” Araujo went to war with Brett Ryan Gosselin for the NCW Heavyweight Championship at NCW Saturday Night many in the back agreed it would be hard pressed to pick another match as 2019 Match of the Year. Both men absolutely destroyed each other in their Bristol Street Fight, earning every bit of their 21% vote.
The Hardcore Grudge Match between Isana and Sierra was also quite the spectacle between the women coming in at 16%. It was a dead lock tie between Lumberjake vs. Shay Cash (Lumberjack Match) and Mike Montero vs. “RIOT” Kellan Thomas (NCW New England Title Match) with both matches getting 15% of the vote while “The Masshole” Mike McCarthy and Channing Thomas‘ REUNION battle earned 14% of the fan’s vote.
NCW 2019 Feud of the Year

Alexander Lee vs. “The Masshole” Mike McCarthy- 20%
“RIOT” Kellan Thomas vs. Mike Montero- 16%
“The American Hammer” Dan Terry vs. Dick Lane- 14%
While The Lumberjake could be considered the ‘King of the Gimmicks’ in 2019 competing in various specialty matches throughout the Season it was his ongoing war with Kevin Castro and Castro’s bounty that earned him the 2019 Feud of the Year. With the noose tightening for Castro and Shay Cash as Lumberjake got closer and closer to getting his match with the manager extraordinaire Castro enlisted help from Frank Champion, Davey Cash, and “Sensational” Scott Levesque to help against Lumberjake in the final events of the Season with Castro going 2-0 against Jake in 2019. Following the events of WrestleFest the miraculously healed Kevin Castro is going to need to watch his back as this feud with Jake is far from over.
Alexander Lee and Mike McCarthy’s blood feud brought them 20% of the vote with this rivalry far from over heading into 2020 while “RIOT” Kellan Thomas’ quest to dethrone Mike Montero’s New England Title reign garnered him 16% of the vote. Dick Lane and “The American Hammer” Dan Terry rounded out the top votes winning 14% for the 2019 Season.

The Perfect Gamble- 17%
Charlie Cashew- 16%
While this past year did not feature any breakout stars it did feature a variety of new faces who came into NCW for a one shot featured match and the question becomes who would you like to see more of heading into the 2020 year. Winning 31% of the match was Little Mean Kathleen, the protege of “Picture Perfect” Sierra who stepped in for Sierra at WrestleFest in the 6 Women’s Tag Team Match.
DL Hurst made his NCW debut at NCW FALLOUT this past September picking up a big victory over Alexander Lee and winning 21% of the vote while The Perfect Gamble made an impact when they challenged for the NCW Tag Team Championship in June.
