CZW:Tournament of Death I



Zandig v. Nate Hatred

The match never got going because it was interrupted by Lobo and company

No Contest
DUD

Adam Flash v. Messiah

This was just a fast match for the moment. Messiah had made his return from having his thumb cut off if I'm not mistaken. So fuck yeah! for that.

Messiah advances via pinfall
0.25/5

Green Phantom and Arsenal v. Hardcore Ninjas

This was a good match. Arsenal could do some cool stuff so I have no idea why I have heard more of his name. We had a CTE shot onto Green Phantom which I will never get used to head shots.

Arsenal and Green Phantom win via pinfall
2.5/5

Necro Butcher v. Wifebeater

This was a great hard-hitting match. Both men bludgeoned each other with anything that wasn't nailed down and Widebeater pile drove Necro Butcher off the stage through a table below.

Wifebeater advances via pinfall
3/5

Nick Gage v. Toby Klein

This match was violent and too short and I felt both men had more to give.

Nick Gage advances via pinfall
1.75/5

Homeless Jimmy v. Sick Nick Mondo

Great match but let's skip the bullshit and get to the real reason this match is infamous. Sick Nick Mondo doing the assault driver off a Ryder truck through a table stack and tube cabins below. That's not even what made this spot sick. An inch more back and they would hit the ramp of the truck. This was Insanity!!!

Sick Nick Mondo advances via pinfall
3.75/5

Eric Tuttle and John Dahmer v. GQ and Chris Ca$h v. Sanjay Dutt and Derek Frazier v. Backseat Boyz
This was good and had a lot of great wrestling in this. Chris Ca$h, and Sanjay Dutt both Backseat Boyz. Goddamn CZW had some great talent in 2002.

Backseat Boyz win via pinfall
2.75/5

Nick Berk v. Ruckus v. Justice Pain

This was a great match. For Ruckus to be that big back then and do the things he was able to do was unreal. Plus Justice Pain was a great wrestler that is what could have been the story.

Ruckus wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Nick Gage v. Wifebeater

This was great. These two beat the fuck out of each other and threw each other through numerous panes of glass.

Wifebeater advances via pinfall
3/5

Sick Nick Mondo v. Messiah

This was a great match. Considering this was right after the Thumb Incident Messiah did some athletic shit. And these two broke anything that wasn't nailed down on each other. 

Sick Nick Mondo advances via pinfall
3/5

Sick Nick Mondo v. Wifebeater

This was insane. These two both went to war in this one. And the infamous weedwhacker spot in this is real. Yeah, Wifebeater won the match but this tournament solidified Sick Nick Mondo as one of the all-time greats with his performance in this.  I'm sure this contributed to his career being cut short but what else is there for him to do? If you read this Mondo thank you for real for your sacrifices that night.

Wifebeater wins Tournament of Death via pinfall
3/5
