New Generation Wrestling (NGW) is a British professional wrestling promotion based in Hull, founded by Luke Ingamells in 2008 and currently owned and run by Richard Dunn. As in other wrestling promotions, NGW shows feature storyline-driven, scripted matches for entertainment purposes and not legitimate sporting contests. Initially a small regional company, NGW has gained critical acclaim for its strong characters, consistent storylines and family-friendly shows. Over the years, it has arguably become the top wrestling promotion in North England and one of the country's top providers of sports entertainment.
NGW is featured regularly on Challenge TV's WrestleTalk and British Wrestling Round-Up programs. In addition, it is being broadcast on a number of regional TV channels, most notably Bay TV Liverpool and the Lincolnshire-based Estuary TV.
The company prides itself on showcasing some of the best British wrestlers, but NGW shows have also featured international stars such as Brian Kendrick, Paul London, Angelina Love and The American Wolves.
New Generation Wrestling put on its first event on 16 May 2008 at Hull's Eastmount Recreation Centre, a venue which would be known as "the home of NGW" for years to come. Line-ups featured local up-and-comers, such as "Prima Donna" Nathan Cruz and "The Amazing" Matt Myers, as well as some of the hottest names on the British independent circuit, such as Dave Rayne and Stixx. A constant progression in match quality and production values ensured NGW a loyal fanbase within the local community.
The company gained nationwide recognition for the rivalry between Nathan Cruz and 15-year veteran Alex Shane, which culminated in a match between the two at NGW's 2nd Anniversary Show in June 2010. The contest, built as a clash of generations, saw Cruz defeat Shane for the right to the "Showstealer" moniker. Cruz went on to become the top heel (villain) in the company, winning the NGW Championship in early 2011 and holding it for nearly a year. At Eternal Glory in December, Cruz lost the title to his former best friend, the popular Matt Myers, in one of the most memorable moments in NGW history.
