A day that began bright and sunny didn’t end that way for seven wrestlers yesterday afternoon…but ended pretty damned well for one… at the “Ultraviolent Underground”… aka Markland’s Little Acres Saturday afternoon.. 600-700 fans, however, had more than their usual share of blood and guts yesterday as Combat Zone Wrestling prexented Tournament of Death 10.
First round:
Non-Tournament Matches:
* DJ Hyde pulled himself out of a match with Sami Callihan and Greg Excellent in order for Callihan and Excellent to face each other. After poking some fun at “The Boss”, including various “mark” jokes, both wrestlers wearing old DJ Hyde ring gear and doing a slow motion comedy “match” ala CHIKARA; DJ Hyde said that thee winner woudl get him (but never when). Excellent allowed Callihan to score a pinfall. As a result (Hyde’s supposed “stipulations” to face him were never stated, due to the comedy skits), on the July 9 Arena show, Excellent will be Hyde’s “slave” on July 9. Sami Callihan will also have to face Necro Butcher before he can face DJ Hyde.
2011 Tournament of Death Final/Barbed Wire Ropes/ Light Tubes Log Cabins/Panes of Glass Match
MASADA defeated Masashi Takeda in a psychotic match that saw TAKEDA put through glass pane soaked with lighter fluid, propped up by two cement blocks…TWICE. Post match, MASADA challenged Danny Havoc for his CZW Ultraviolent Underground Title at the July 9 Arena show with the winner will face Big Japan Death Match Champion Ryuji Ito at the Chri$ Ca$h Memorial Show on September 10 in a Champion vs. Champion Match! The weather wasn’t as physically hot as other years for this outdoor show. Some years the atmosphere can be an endurance contest for fans, but this year saw the.cloud cover later in the show helping a lot for fans,and seemed to keep the alchol-inspired crowd misbehavior down for the most part. “Bulldozer” Matt Tremont was perhaps the day’s big winner as he took a beating, most notably an ugly looking black eye after a shot to the face during his match with Necrobutcher, but got over like crazy The South Jersey independent workers got over the previous month at the Arena, then got over in front of a bloodthirsty crowd which came from as far away as the Carolinas, Illnois, and New England to attend. Until next time…
