By Mike Johnson on 2017-12-06 08:05:00

COD 2011

Welcome to PWInsider.com's live, ongoing coverage of CZW Cage of Death 13 from Philadelphia, PA!

Larry Legend came out and welcomed everyone to COD, running down the main events of the card. Maven Bentley came out and said that in CZW, they try to give the best of every style but there are several men here who are truly the best at what they do. He introduced a group of Marines who were in the house to collect donations for Toys for Tots.

CZW Wired champion Jake Crist vs. Dave Crist.

They started out hot with a lot of fast action. Jake hit a crazy tope through the ropes. Dave came back with a big twisting dive over the top to the floor. Jake tried to leap off the ropes but was kneed in the air. Dave charged him but Jake moved. Dave went for a monkey flip but Jake turned it around and landed on his feet. Dave nailed him with an elbow. Jake drilled him with several superkicks and a back suplex for a two count. He grabbed an armbar submission but Dave fought it off. Dave landed a cutter but was too tired to follow up. He finally covered Jake, but only scored a two count.

Dave went to the top rope but was cut off. Jake nailed a superplex, then pulled him back up for another suplex. Jake followed up with a shining wizard for a two count. Dave came back with a springboard into an awesome looking DDT for a two count. He followed up with a bulldog like move, flying through the ropes and clotheslining his brother on the ropes throat-first.

They battled on the top rope until Jake Crist drilled his brother with a Canadian flip piledriver off the top for the pin. THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY SICK!

Your winner and still champion, Jake Crist!

Jake offered his brother his hand, but was slapped instead. Crist chased Dave back to the locker room.

Awesome, balls to the wall sick action with a ton of high spots and stiff action.

Best of Three Tables: BLK-OUT (Ruckus & Alex Colon & Chrissy Rivera with Robbie Mireno) vs. The Runaways (Joe Gacy & Ryan Slater & Kimber Lee)

The girls started catfighting immediately but were broken up by the teams, who then started brawling.   Colon and Slater went back and forth in the ring with hiptosses and armdrags as Slater and Ruckus brawled on the floor.  Colon dove out on Gacy while Slater his a dive on Ruckus.  The girls started slugging it out and went back and forth until Rivera speared Lee.  Ruckus nailed the Razzle Dazzle on her followed by Colon kicking her.  Rivera nailed a Facewash on Lee.

Lee cut her off with a shot and went to the top.  Rivera joined her battling as the teams brawled on the floor.  Rivera superplexed Lee off the top onto everyone and the building went nuts.  As everyone recovered, Ruckus set up a table in the corner but was attacked by Gacy.  Ruckus went for a handspring elbow off the ropes but was caught and nailed.

Gacy grabbed Rivera by the hair and tried to throw her into the table.  She ran up the table, slid down and low blowed him.  She then hit a tornado DDT off the table.  Lee attacked her and started choking her.  The Runaways started triple teamed her and powerbombed Rivera through a table.

It's 1-0 in Falls for the Runaways.

River was carried out.

The Runaways tried to triple team Colon but he was able to maneuver Lee and Gacy into the corner and wiped them out.  He drilled Lee with a running foot.  Colon was grabbed and suplexed off the corner by Slater, who was now hanging off the ropes.  Ruckus hit a Van Terminator on Slater while he was hanging.   Gacy attacked Ruckus and they battled on the top rope.  Ruckus tried to superplex him out of the ring onto a table on the floor but was unable to do so.  Colon came out of anywhere with a flying leg lariat and wiped out Gacy, sending him to the floor through a different table.

It's now tied.

Gacy was out on the floor.

Lee nailed a top rope rana on Colon.  Lee and Slater laid him out with flying moves.  They set up a table on the floor.  Lee and Slater tried to double suplex Ruckus out of the ring but Colon attacked Slater and they battled back and forth.  Left alone, Lee was no match for Ruckus and was hit with a suplex into an inverted sit-down bomb through a table on the floor.

Your winners, BLK OUT!

This was absolutely mind blowing, just in terms of the crazy male vs. female violence and some really creative spots and brutal looking table spots.  This needed to be a war because of the feud and it was.  Great stuff.

Six Man Scramble: Alex Payne vs. Drew Gulak vs. tHURTeen vs. Ryan McBride vs. Derek Frazier  vs. Dustin Rayz to determine number one contender to CZW title.

McBride and Rayz started out.  McBride grabbed a side headlock but was sent into the ropes.  Rayz was dropkicked out of the ring.  Payne nailed a springboard dropkick in on McBride.  He shoved him into the ropes and rebounded landing with all his weight on him.  Payne followed up with several headbutts and whipped McBride into the corner, drilling him with a running knee.  Frazier blind tagged in and unloaded with chops on Payne.

Thurteen tagged in and we had a flurry of people tagging in and out doing crazy moves.  Rayz hit a moonsault on McBride.  Payne hit the ring and worked over McBride, stomping him and nailing a running kick.  He peppered him with forearms and suplexed him over.  Frazier attacked Payne and dispatched him, then stood over McBride with one foot.  Thurteen, Payne and Rayz all tried to dropkick him but he ducked, so they all nailed him with three at the same time.

They continued with a lot of fast spots.  Rayz set up McBride on the ropes and nailed him.  Payne powerslammed him off the ropes.  Payne hit  dive to the floor.  Rayz nailed a moonsault off the top to the floor and wiped everyone but Gulak, who remained in his corner the entire match.  A ton of officials ran out to check on him and he was eventually stretchered out.

Inside the ring, the match continued with the others all battling back and forth and doing some unique three way submissions.  Frazier nailed Thurteen and got into it with referee Dru Blood, who he's had issues with, so Blood attacked him and threw him out of the ring.  Blood hit a tope to the outside and then nailed Frazier with a chair.  They kept brawling and that brought out a ton of officials to break them up.

In the chaos, Gulak covered Thurteen and pinned him, becoming the new number one contender for the CZW title.

As officials held Blood and Frazier apart, CZW owner DJ Hyde came out.  He told Blood he is not a wrestler anymore and questioned him.  He asked Blood if he wanted a match and then asked Frazier if he wanted to see it.  He asked the fans if they wanted to see it.  Hyde instead told Blood he was fired and told security to throw him out.  Frazier and McBride started brawling.  Hyde told him that if they wanted to fight, they can do it in January and to get out the building.  Hyde heard the fans chanting at him and told them that they probably want to see John Zandig, the former owner back.  The place popped.  He said too bad they'd never see him again, since he's retired.  Foreshadowing perhaps?

Drake Younger vs. Rory Mondo

There are weapons in the ring and a barbed wire board.  Younger immediately drilled Mondo with a punch, then pressed and threw him out of the ring through the barbed wire board which on a  table on the floor.    The place went nuts for that.  He drilled Mondo with a sick chair shot, then a barbed wire board to the gut.  He nailed a Russian Legsweep with the board and then drilled it into Mondo's head before stomping it into his head.

Mondo was busted open.  Young spilled Tekkens on the mat and nailed a delayed vertical suplex on them.  The crowd chanted, "Stick it in his head."  Younger slammed Mondo on them, then slammed a chair onto them.  Younger beat the piss out of him with a water jug that was attached to a stick.  Younger went to nail him with a trash can but Mondo kicked him in the gut and nailed him twice with it.  He put the tekken in Younger's head and drilled him with the can again.

Younger made a comeback and nailed a powerbomb off the top onto the trash can, which was turned upside down.  The can did NOT budge one bit.  It was one of the sickest spots I've ever seen.  Younger pulled the tekken out of his own head.  He grabbed a box and dumped an entire box full of broken glass onto the mat.  He pressed and dropped Mondo onto it and then pulled him across it in circles.

Younger filled Mondo's mouth with glass and punched him in the face.  He then threw a chair at Mondo.  He swung the chair again, but Mondo ducked and hit himself, laying himself out.  Mondo worked over Younger and placed him on a chair.  He nailed a double stomp off the chair for a two count.

Mondo set up a barbed wire board upside down so the barbed wire was facing Younger, over two chairs and double stomped it into Younger.  Younger kicked out and was psyched up by the move, eating glass and spitting it out.  He nailed Mondo with a pair of powerbombs on the glass, but Mondo kicked out.

Younger went for the Vertebreaker and nailed it on the glass, covering Mondo.  He pulled him up at one.  He set up a chair and hit a back superplex through the chair for the pin.

Your winner, Drake Younger!

That was a sick, insane, holy hell beatdown.  There were a hell of insane spots and crazy bumps that made you cringe and shake your head from the insanity.

Kamui & Yoshiko Sasaki & Masa Takanashi & Jun Kasai & Jaki Numazaewa vs. Danshoku Dieno & Kudo & Kengo Mashimo & Takashi Sasaki & Ryuji Ito

Dieno kissed Larry Legend again.  This was after he chased a guy who was in his underwear and tied up from the back and around ringside.  Different strokes rule the world, folks.  They all brawled at the bell.  Instant chaos.  Diego molested Kamui as he worked him over early.

Kamui came back with several dropkicks.  Mashimo tagged in and Yoshino followed in and began kicking each other back and forth.  Takanashi tagged in and worked over Yoshiko.  Kudo tagged in and nailed a slingshot double knees bomb attack on him for a two count.  Dieno tagged in and nailed a crotch to the face on Takanashi. He went to the top and pulled down his pants so his partners could run their opponent into his bare crotch.  This led to a comedy spot where Jaki used a broom to attack and it instead was embedded in his rear end.  This is what I write about for a living folks.  Dieno had trouble pulling it out so when Jaki did, there was brown at the tip.  Oh boy.  Dieno remained hanging atop the corner for a LONG time.

The battle kicked off with some crazy stiff back and forth action.  Kamui was powerbombed by Takashi but came back with a rolling kick and a senton.  Everyone hit the ring to break it up and brawled all over the arena.  Kamui tried to pulled down Dieno's pants and ended up shoved into the crack.

Everyone started working on Kamui.  Ito hit a frog splash but everyone hit the ring to break it up.   Takashi hit a Falcon's Arrow for the pin.

Your winners, Danshoku Dieno & Kudo & Kengo Mashimo & Takashi Sasaki & Ryuji Ito!

Quite the spectacle.

Homicide & Eddie Kingston vs. Philly's Most Wanted

They started brawling during the ring introductions.  Joker and Homicide brawled stiffly on the floor.  Kingston was nailed with a senton dive over the top to the floor.  Jeez almost came up short.  That was scary.  Most Wanted worked over Homicide with double team moves. Kingston returned and catapulted Joker into a Homicide lariat.  Joker landed on Kingston's knees and Homicide nailed a senton back splash.

Kingston leapt to the outside with a double clothesline on Most Wanted.  Back in the ring, Homicide and Jeez went back and forth.  Homicide nailed the Three Amigos.  Joker broke it up so he ate it too.  Kingston lariated Jeez.   Homicide and Kingston nailed synchronized lariats and boots in the corner on Most Wanted.

As the match settled into a more traditional battle, Most Wanted doubled on Homicide.   Homicide went back and forth with chops.  Jeez took control with a double slap to the ears and chops to the face.  They locked up and Homicide was forced into Most Wanted's corner.  They worked him over so Kingston charged and they all started brawling.  Kingston was thrown out of the ring and grabbed a chair but the referee took it.  Meanwhile, they continued the beating on Homicide in Most Wanted's corner.

The crowd rallied Homicide, who tried to go for the Gringo Killer.  Joker fought him off but was caught with a tornado DDT.  Homicide was caught with a tiltowhirl backbreaker.  Kingston lost it and tried to hit the ring but was held back, allowing more diabolic double teaming.  

Jeez locked in a rear chinlock.  Joker tagged in and nailed a back suplex.  He continued beating on Homicide, who cursed and dared him to keep coming.  Homicide caught him with a small package but Joker kicked out.  Most Wanted continued working over Homicide.  The crowd was getting restless since it was building slowly after al the craziness.  Homicide nailed an exploder on Joker who rolled over and tagged out to Jeez.  Homicide backdropped him and tagged Kingston.

Kingston went nuts with offense, beating the piss out of Most Wanted with suplexes and stiff punches.  Homicide nailed a tope con hilo to the floor on Most Wanted.   Kingston chopped the hell out of Joker in the corner, Kenta Kobashi style.  Homicide whipped Jeez into the railing.  Kingston slammed Joker and nailed the back fist.  Joker fired back with strikes of his own.  He drilled Kingston in the corner and nailed a sick suplex.  Kington popped up and nailed a back drop driver.  Joker returned with a suplex of his own.  Kingston nailed a sick KO punch and tagged Homicide who nailed a sit down powerbomb for a two count.

Jeez returned to the fray, working over Homicide and locked in an STF in the center.  Most Wanted worked over Homicide.  Jeez held him while Joker came off with a big elbow.  Kingston broke up the pinfall and slammed Jeez.  He chopped away at Joker hard.  They exchanged stiff forearms.  They began headbutting each other.  Jeez tripped Kingston and Joker nailed him with a kick.

Homicide and Joker went back and forth.  Joker nailed Homicide but was caught with a crazy suplex throw.  Jeez was nailed with a series of strikes but drilled Kingston with a big DDT for a two count.   Jeez came off with a double stomp and covered Kingston but Maven Bentley pulled the referee out of the ring and told Jeez "F*** you."  Jeez throttled him and went back to the double stomp but missed.  Kingston laid him out.  Bentley told Kingston to kill Jeez but instead Kingston laid him out.

Homicide looked confused but finally agreed with Kingston and laid out the referee as well.  They turned their attention back to Most Wanted.  Kingston tossed a few chairs in the ring.  They rang the bell and declared it a no content.  They kept brawling as a ton of security hit the ring to break it up.  Jeez started killing people with chairs.   All four beat the hell out of the security.  The ring announcer tried again to announce it was over but Kingston took the mic and demanded Most Wanted return to the ring.  They finally returned and started brawling again. 

 One lone security guy tried to stop them to no avail.  Most Wanted split, so Homicide and Kingston decided to take their anger out of him, dropping him with a Gringo Killer on the mi and beating the piss out of him with chairs.   A fan was  giving Kingston static so he hopped the rails and went after him, getting in his face.

A really good brawl.

CZW Junior Heavyweight champion Sami Callihan vs. AR Fox. 

Callihan charged out of his corner with a big stiff boot to the face.  He worked over Fox and whipped him hard into turnbuckles.  Fox fired back with a chop but Callihan nailed him and ran him into the corner.  Sami missed a charge and was hit with a leaping forearm.  Fox placed him on the buckles and after a back and forth, kicked him back into the ring.

Fox went for a moonsault so Sami rolled out of the ring.  Fox dove over the ropes with a big dive to the floor, wiping out Sami.   Fox went for a move off the apron but Sami kicked him in the legs.  He chopped Fox on the floor and tossed him back into the ring.  Fox was drilled with several forearms.  He fired back with his own.  They battled back and forth, with Sami drilling Fox down to the mat with a shot.  Sami covered him for a two count.

Callihan went for a dive but Fox jumped into a kick, taking him out.  Callihan drilled him with several punches but was nailed and hit with a cutter while he was half-through the ropes.  He went back to the floor, where Fox nailed the craziest dive over the top I've seen since RVD in his prime.  He then nailed a running flip dive over the ringpost to the floor.

Callihan said that he comes out here month after month and no matter what the match or the opponent is, he gives everyone his entire body, heart and soul.  He said that he and Fox doesn't like each other and the only thing they have in common is that people cheers for them.  He said that the fans need to give Fox some props for his performance tonight.  He and Fox shook hands.  Fox returned to the ring.  Sami told them to cut his music and play Fox's.  

Absolutely awesome high flying match. They started slow, told a hell of a story and had some amazing back and forth exchanged and dives. Awesome.

Ultraviolent Trial Pit of Death Match: Bulldozer Matt Tremont vs. Danny Havoc

There is a pit of spikes and a pit of thumbtacks.   Havoc was bleeding early from his glass match wound.  Tremont tried to force his head into the spikes.  Havoc battled back and tried to force Tremont into the thumbtacks.  Tremont did the Cactus clothesline. 

On the floor, Tremont nailed Havoc with a chair.  Havoc battled back with a series of shots.  He worked over Tremont with shots, then whipped him into the stairs.   Tremont came back with a slam.   Back in the ring, Tremont nailed a series of chops in the corner.  Havoc came back with a dropkick to the knee and a knee to the face.

Havoc battled Tremont over the spikes and Tremont teased falling into them, then grabbed Havoc and suplexed him on the spikes.  OUCH.  He ripped Havoc's face into the spike.    He slammed Havoc into the thumbtacks with a bunch embedded into his head, then poured some over Havoc's chest.  Tremont stomped the chest and then elbowdropped it.  He poured tacks in the ring and slammed Havoc on  them.

Tremont teased a powerbomb onto the spikes but was backdropped onto them.  His boot was totally embedded in them and it took three staffers to help pull his foot out of the spikes.  Havoc pulled him to the tacks and DDT'd him into that pit.   Tremont, who was now limping, kicked out.

Havoc followed up with a bulldog into the tacks with Tremont landed chest first on the tacks.  Havoc went to the top but Tremont tried to stop him.  He slammed Havoc off the top onto the tacks and powerbombed Havoc onto them for a two count.  This is a damn war of attrition.

Tremont poured all the tacks onto the mat.  He nailed a Samoan Drop onto the tacks.   Tremont scored a two count and retrieved a chair from under the ring.  He set it up in the corner.  He placed the board of spikes on the chair.  He tried to whip Havoc into the spikes but Havoc stopped short and kicked him in the face.  Tacks went flying.    Havoc tried whip him into it but it was reversed and he hit the spikes backfirst.  Tremont then nailed him with an Avalanche....and then he only got a two count!

He dug Havoc's face into the spikes and hit him with a curb stomp into the tacks.   Tremont grapevines the legs and locked in an STF combination.   Tremont set up the spikes in the center of the ring.  He went to get atop of Havoc who rose to his feet and gave Tremont to Electric Chair onto the spikes.  Havoc covered him for a two count.   Havoc came off the top with an elbow for another two count.

Havoc grabbed Tremont for a move but Drew Gulak hit the ring and booted Havoc, who fell backward into the spikes.  Gulak told Tremont to pin him and end it but Tremont got in his way.  Tremont was attacked by Gulak's bodyguard and clotheslined atop of Havok, who was still on the spikes.  Gulak, his manager Dewey Donovan and the bodyguard forced the referee to count the fall.

Your winner, Matt Tremont!

  This was a hell of a death match with a ton of crazy, evil stunts and spots.  I loved it.  I didn't care for the Gulak angle at the end, but understood what the company was going for storyline wise with it.

Tremont tried to apologize to Havoc for what happened, but Havoc blew him off and slammed a chair out of frustration.   Tremont said that he waited his entire life for Cage of Death and he's sorry that Gulak stuck his nose in where it didn't belong because it was supposed to be him, Havoc and the fans.  He said that last January, Gulak mocked his hero (Nick Gage, who wasn't mentioned by name) and his hero wasn't here to defend himself but Matt Tremont is.  He challenged Gulak, saying he is calling him out for January.  A HELL of a promo.

DJ Hyde vs. Greg Excellent - No Holds Barred, If Hyde wins, Excellent leaves the company.  If Excellent wins, he gets three wishes.

They brawled to the floor immediately.   Excellent brought him around ringside, where he held the fans with chops.  Hyde made a comeback but a woman hit the ring and attacks Hyde with a leaping DDT.   Excellent covered her and she broke it up, saying if he won, he wanted one of the wishes.  Hyde attacked him and then speared her.  Mia Yim hit the ring and attacked Excellent.  He laid her out with a suplex.

Hyde worked over Excellent and he hulked up.  They played Real American on the speakers and he did the entire routine, including a big boot and legdrop.  Hyde kicked up, Mia Yim handed DJ a chair.  Greg Excellent's mother, who he laid out a year ago in an angle at COD12, came out and wanted to nail him with the chair.  She revealed a Hyde shirt, so he let her.  She instead nailed Hyde and hit him with a stone cold stunner.

Hyde kicked out and worked over Excellent.  "Youth Gone Wild" played and the place popped like they all came at once.  Zandig hopped the rail and hit a discus clothesline on Hyde.  Excellent covered DJ and won.

Your winner, Greg Excellent!

Zandig went to the back as Excellent celebrated with his mom.

THE CAGE OF DEATH

CZW champion Devon Moore vs. CZW Ultraviolent Underground champion Masada vs. Robert Anthony vs. Scotty Vortekz - First Man to Retrieve the CZW title wins.

As you can see from the photos, no ropes barbed wire.  Spider web barbed wire wall on one side.  Glass partitions on two sides and you have to climb one of four ladders to make it to the belt.

Masada and Scotty brawled as Moore was ripped into the barbed wire by Anthony.   Scotty was backdropped into the spider web barbed wire and must have been cut bad as they were immediately trying to stop it.  He still nailed Moore with a spin kick.  Moore was busted open as well.

Masada was tossed over the barbed wire onto one of the cage partitions and caught his hair in the barbed wire on the way down.    Drew tried to climb the ladder but was pulled down by Scotty.  They tried to throw each other into one of the glass walls but in the end Scotty used head scissors to send Moore crashing through the glass, which showered the first row.

Masada, who had glass on his tape, began raking Anthony's head with it.  Anthony was bleeding by the ear.  Anthony was whipped into the barbed wire.  Masada forced him into the wire.  Scotty recovered and nailed Masada into the wire with an enziguiri.  Moore and Scotty speared Masada and Anthony into the wire.  Masada's calf was pierced by the wire.

Scotty and Anthony brawled on their knees.  Masada grabbed Moore and dug his face into the barbed wire.  Masada and Anthony powerbombed their opponents through another glass partition at the same time, with the glass exploding in all directions.  The crowd clapped and rallied both of them.  They brawled back and forth.  Masada had the better of it but Anthony battled back.  Masada cut him off with a clothesline.

Masada pulled put skewers and stuck them in Anthony's head.  They were all sticking out.  Masada then dropkicked him in the head.   Masada set up several chairs and attempted to suplex Anthony but he reversed it into a vertebreaker onto the chairs.  Anthony and Scotty began to recover as Anthony hit a running death valley driver into the spider web barbed wire.

Moore tried to climb the ladder but was sent off of it to a piece of cage set at a 45 degree angle.  Masada and Scotty brawled on a platform and Masada was sent off into the piece of cage.  Scotty then hit a senton off of it onto the partition.  This is nuts.

Moore and Anthony brawled on the top platform and Moore speared him off into the ring.  Scotty recovered and set up a table in the center of the ring.   He chopped Anthony, who battled back with uppercuts. Anthony picked him up for a powerbomb and did a running sit-down bomb into a side of the cage that featured a glass center, shattering through and crashing through a table that was set up underneath.  Scotty's back was shredded.

Masada returned to the ring and spiked Moore with a skewer, then piledrove him beautifully through the middle of a table.  The crowd chanted, "This is awesome."   Masada then picked up Moore and powerbombed him through a piece of the table.  He started to scale the contraption as fans chanted for him.

Masada started climbing the cage as Moore recovered and climbed another ladder.  Moore reached for the belt, which fell into the ring.  Moore took a bump into the ring and crawled to get the belt, retaining it.

Your winner and still CZW champion, Devon Moore!

Pretty much the entire company came out and applauded them.  There were chants for Masada and Scotty.  Hyde entered the ring and told everyone to turn the cameras off and said the iPPV was over.  Hyde said that he knows he hates all the people and he's a bad guy but damn it was a great Cage of Death.  He announced a double header with EVOLVE in January.

Hyde turned to Moore and told him he's been the MVP of Cage of Death for the last three years.  He said Scotty got his hand nearly cut off and came back out and still killed in the match.   He said Robert Anthony stepped up and went from a pretty boy to do a death match.  He said Masada was one of the best wrestlers in the world and he said everyone here and this crew is a family busting their ass for what they love.  He asked everyone to give it up for the wrestlers, the Japanese stars and even John Zandig for what they did tonight.  The crowd chanted "CZW."

Hyde said that it was something special tonight and everyone witnessed a show they won't see until next year.  He said in the future, CZW will be doing so much more and said he hopes to see everyone back here because the crew wants nothing more than to see everyone here while they bust their asses.

That was pretty damn insane.

Thanks for logging in with us tonight!

They battled on the top rope until Jake Crist drilled his brother with a Canadian flip piledriver off the top for the pin. THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY SICK!

Your winner and still champion, Jake Crist!

Jake offered his brother his hand, but was slapped instead. Crist chased Dave back to the locker room.

Awesome, balls to the wall sick action with a ton of high spots and stiff action.

Your winners, BLK OUT!

This was absolutely mind blowing, just in terms of the crazy male vs. female violence and some really creative spots and brutal looking table spots.  This needed to be a war because of the feud and it was.  Great stuff.

Six Man Scramble: Alex Payne vs. Drew Gulak vs. tHURTeen vs. Ryan McBride vs. Derek Frazier  vs. Dustin Rayz to determine number one contender to CZW title.

McBride and Rayz started out.  McBride grabbed a side headlock but was sent into the ropes.  Rayz was dropkicked out of the ring.  Payne nailed a springboard dropkick in on McBride.  He shoved him into the ropes and rebounded landing with all his weight on him.  Payne followed up with several headbutts and whipped McBride into the corner, drilling him with a running knee.  Frazier blind tagged in and unloaded with chops on Payne.

Thurteen tagged in and we had a flurry of people tagging in and out doing crazy moves.  Rayz hit a moonsault on McBride.  Payne hit the ring and worked over McBride, stomping him and nailing a running kick.  He peppered him with forearms and suplexed him over.  Frazier attacked Payne and dispatched him, then stood over McBride with one foot.  Thurteen, Payne and Rayz all tried to dropkick him but he ducked, so they all nailed him with three at the same time.

They continued with a lot of fast spots.  Rayz set up McBride on the ropes and nailed him.  Payne powerslammed him off the ropes.  Payne hit  dive to the floor.  Rayz nailed a moonsault off the top to the floor and wiped everyone but Gulak, who remained in his corner the entire match.  A ton of officials ran out to check on him and he was eventually stretchered out.

Inside the ring, the match continued with the others all battling back and forth and doing some unique three way submissions.  Frazier nailed Thurteen and got into it with referee Dru Blood, who he's had issues with, so Blood attacked him and threw him out of the ring.  Blood hit a tope to the outside and then nailed Frazier with a chair.  They kept brawling and that brought out a ton of officials to break them up.

In the chaos, Gulak covered Thurteen and pinned him, becoming the new number one contender for the CZW title.

As officials held Blood and Frazier apart, CZW owner DJ Hyde came out.  He told Blood he is not a wrestler anymore and questioned him.  He asked Blood if he wanted a match and then asked Frazier if he wanted to see it.  He asked the fans if they wanted to see it.  Hyde instead told Blood he was fired and told security to throw him out.  Frazier and McBride started brawling.  Hyde told him that if they wanted to fight, they can do it in January and to get out the building.  Hyde heard the fans chanting at him and told them that they probably want to see John Zandig, the former owner back.  The place popped.  He said too bad they'd never see him again, since he's retired.  Foreshadowing perhaps?

Drake Younger vs. Rory Mondo

There are weapons in the ring and a barbed wire board.  Younger immediately drilled Mondo with a punch, then pressed and threw him out of the ring through the barbed wire board which on a  table on the floor.    The place went nuts for that.  He drilled Mondo with a sick chair shot, then a barbed wire board to the gut.  He nailed a Russian Legsweep with the board and then drilled it into Mondo's head before stomping it into his head.

Mondo was busted open.  Young spilled Tekkens on the mat and nailed a delayed vertical suplex on them.  The crowd chanted, "Stick it in his head."  Younger slammed Mondo on them, then slammed a chair onto them.  Younger beat the piss out of him with a water jug that was attached to a stick.  Younger went to nail him with a trash can but Mondo kicked him in the gut and nailed him twice with it.  He put the tekken in Younger's head and drilled him with the can again.

Younger made a comeback and nailed a powerbomb off the top onto the trash can, which was turned upside down.  The can did NOT budge one bit.  It was one of the sickest spots I've ever seen.  Younger pulled the tekken out of his own head.  He grabbed a box and dumped an entire box full of broken glass onto the mat.  He pressed and dropped Mondo onto it and then pulled him across it in circles.

Younger filled Mondo's mouth with glass and punched him in the face.  He then threw a chair at Mondo.  He swung the chair again, but Mondo ducked and hit himself, laying himself out.  Mondo worked over Younger and placed him on a chair.  He nailed a double stomp off the chair for a two count.

Mondo set up a barbed wire board upside down so the barbed wire was facing Younger, over two chairs and double stomped it into Younger.  Younger kicked out and was psyched up by the move, eating glass and spitting it out.  He nailed Mondo with a pair of powerbombs on the glass, but Mondo kicked out.

Younger went for the Vertebreaker and nailed it on the glass, covering Mondo.  He pulled him up at one.  He set up a chair and hit a back superplex through the chair for the pin.

Your winner, Drake Younger!

That was a sick, insane, holy hell beatdown.  There were a hell of insane spots and crazy bumps that made you cringe and shake your head from the insanity.

Kamui & Yoshiko Sasaki & Masa Takanashi & Jun Kasai & Jaki Numazaewa vs. Danshoku Dieno & Kudo & Kengo Mashimo & Takashi Sasaki & Ryuji Ito

Dieno kissed Larry Legend again.  This was after he chased a guy who was in his underwear and tied up from the back and around ringside.  Different strokes rule the world, folks.  They all brawled at the bell.  Instant chaos.  Diego molested Kamui as he worked him over early.

Kamui came back with several dropkicks.  Mashimo tagged in and Yoshino followed in and began kicking each other back and forth.  Takanashi tagged in and worked over Yoshiko.  Kudo tagged in and nailed a slingshot double knees bomb attack on him for a two count.  Dieno tagged in and nailed a crotch to the face on Takanashi. He went to the top and pulled down his pants so his partners could run their opponent into his bare crotch.  This led to a comedy spot where Jaki used a broom to attack and it instead was embedded in his rear end.  This is what I write about for a living folks.  Dieno had trouble pulling it out so when Jaki did, there was brown at the tip.  Oh boy.  Dieno remained hanging atop the corner for a LONG time.

The battle kicked off with some crazy stiff back and forth action.  Kamui was powerbombed by Takashi but came back with a rolling kick and a senton.  Everyone hit the ring to break it up and brawled all over the arena.  Kamui tried to pulled down Dieno's pants and ended up shoved into the crack.

Everyone started working on Kamui.  Ito hit a frog splash but everyone hit the ring to break it up.   Takashi hit a Falcon's Arrow for the pin.

Your winners, Danshoku Dieno & Kudo & Kengo Mashimo & Takashi Sasaki & Ryuji Ito!

Homicide looked confused but finally agreed with Kingston and laid out the referee as well.  They turned their attention back to Most Wanted.  Kingston tossed a few chairs in the ring.  They rang the bell and declared it a no content.  They kept brawling as a ton of security hit the ring to break it up.  Jeez started killing people with chairs.   All four beat the hell out of the security.  The ring announcer tried again to announce it was over but Kingston took the mic and demanded Most Wanted return to the ring.  They finally returned and started brawling again. 

 One lone security guy tried to stop them to no avail.  Most Wanted split, so Homicide and Kingston decided to take their anger out of him, dropping him with a Gringo Killer on the mi and beating the piss out of him with chairs.   A fan was  giving Kingston static so he hopped the rails and went after him, getting in his face.

A really good brawl.

There is a pit of spikes and a pit of thumbtacks.   Havoc was bleeding early from his glass match wound.  Tremont tried to force his head into the spikes.  Havoc battled back and tried to force Tremont into the thumbtacks.  Tremont did the Cactus clothesline.

Tremont teased a powerbomb onto the spikes but was backdropped onto them.  His boot was totally embedded in them and it took three staffers to help pull his foot out of the spikes.  Havoc pulled him to the tacks and DDT'd him into that pit.   Tremont, who was now limping, kicked out.

Havoc followed up with a bulldog into the tacks with Tremont landed chest first on the tacks.  Havoc went to the top but Tremont tried to stop him.  He slammed Havoc off the top onto the tacks and powerbombed Havoc onto them for a two count.  This is a damn war of attrition.

Your winner, Matt Tremont!

  This was a hell of a death match with a ton of crazy, evil stunts and spots.  I loved it.  I didn't care for the Gulak angle at the end, but understood what the company was going for storyline wise with it.

Tremont tried to apologize to Havoc for what happened, but Havoc blew him off and slammed a chair out of frustration.   Tremont said that he waited his entire life for Cage of Death and he's sorry that Gulak stuck his nose in where it didn't belong because it was supposed to be him, Havoc and the fans.  He said that last January, Gulak mocked his hero (Nick Gage, who wasn't mentioned by name) and his hero wasn't here to defend himself but Matt Tremont is.  He challenged Gulak, saying he is calling him out for January.  A HELL of a promo.

DJ Hyde vs. Greg Excellent - No Holds Barred, If Hyde wins, Excellent leaves the company.  If Excellent wins, he gets three wishes.

They brawled to the floor immediately.   Excellent brought him around ringside, where he held the fans with chops.  Hyde made a comeback but a woman hit the ring and attacks Hyde with a leaping DDT.   Excellent covered her and she broke it up, saying if he won, he wanted one of the wishes.  Hyde attacked him and then speared her.  Mia Yim hit the ring and attacked Excellent.  He laid her out with a suplex.

Hyde kicked out and worked over Excellent.  "Youth Gone Wild" played and the place popped like they all came at once.  Zandig hopped the rail and hit a discus clothesline on Hyde.  Excellent covered DJ and won.

Your winner, Greg Excellent!

THE CAGE OF DEATH

CZW champion Devon Moore vs. CZW Ultraviolent Underground champion Masada vs. Robert Anthony vs. Scotty Vortekz - First Man to Retrieve the CZW title wins.

As you can see from the photos, no ropes barbed wire.  Spider web barbed wire wall on one side.  Glass partitions on two sides and you have to climb one of four ladders to make it to the belt.

Masada and Scotty brawled as Moore was ripped into the barbed wire by Anthony.   Scotty was backdropped into the spider web barbed wire and must have been cut bad as they were immediately trying to stop it.  He still nailed Moore with a spin kick.  Moore was busted open as well.

Masada was tossed over the barbed wire onto one of the cage partitions and caught his hair in the barbed wire on the way down.    Drew tried to climb the ladder but was pulled down by Scotty.  They tried to throw each other into one of the glass walls but in the end Scotty used head scissors to send Moore crashing through the glass, which showered the first row.

Masada, who had glass on his tape, began raking Anthony's head with it.  Anthony was bleeding by the ear.  Anthony was whipped into the barbed wire.  Masada forced him into the wire.  Scotty recovered and nailed Masada into the wire with an enziguiri.  Moore and Scotty speared Masada and Anthony into the wire.  Masada's calf was pierced by the wire.

Scotty and Anthony brawled on their knees.  Masada grabbed Moore and dug his face into the barbed wire.  Masada and Anthony powerbombed their opponents through another glass partition at the same time, with the glass exploding in all directions.  The crowd clapped and rallied both of them.  They brawled back and forth.  Masada had the better of it but Anthony battled back.  Masada cut him off with a clothesline.

Masada pulled put skewers and stuck them in Anthony's head.  They were all sticking out.  Masada then dropkicked him in the head.   Masada set up several chairs and attempted to suplex Anthony but he reversed it into a vertebreaker onto the chairs.  Anthony and Scotty began to recover as Anthony hit a running death valley driver into the spider web barbed wire.

Moore tried to climb the ladder but was sent off of it to a piece of cage set at a 45 degree angle.  Masada and Scotty brawled on a platform and Masada was sent off into the piece of cage.  Scotty then hit a senton off of it onto the partition.  This is nuts.

Moore and Anthony brawled on the top platform and Moore speared him off into the ring.  Scotty recovered and set up a table in the center of the ring.   He chopped Anthony, who battled back with uppercuts. Anthony picked him up for a powerbomb and did a running sit-down bomb into a side of the cage that featured a glass center, shattering through and crashing through a table that was set up underneath.  Scotty's back was shredded.

Masada returned to the ring and spiked Moore with a skewer, then piledrove him beautifully through the middle of a table.  The crowd chanted, "This is awesome."   Masada then picked up Moore and powerbombed him through a piece of the table.  He started to scale the contraption as fans chanted for him.

Masada started climbing the cage as Moore recovered and climbed another ladder.  Moore reached for the belt, which fell into the ring.  Moore took a bump into the ring and crawled to get the belt, retaining it.

Your winner and still CZW champion, Devon Moore!

Pretty much the entire company came out and applauded them.  There were chants for Masada and Scotty.  Hyde entered the ring and told everyone to turn the cameras off and said the iPPV was over.  Hyde said that he knows he hates all the people and he's a bad guy but damn it was a great Cage of Death.  He announced a double header with EVOLVE in January.

Hyde turned to Moore and told him he's been the MVP of Cage of Death for the last three years.  He said Scotty got his hand nearly cut off and came back out and still killed in the match.   He said Robert Anthony stepped up and went from a pretty boy to do a death match.  He said Masada was one of the best wrestlers in the world and he said everyone here and this crew is a family busting their ass for what they love.  He asked everyone to give it up for the wrestlers, the Japanese stars and even John Zandig for what they did tonight.  The crowd chanted "CZW."

Hyde said that it was something special tonight and everyone witnessed a show they won't see until next year.  He said in the future, CZW will be doing so much more and said he hopes to see everyone back here because the crew wants nothing more than to see everyone here while they bust their asses.

That was pretty damn insane.

Thanks for logging in with us tonight!

Your winner and still champion, Jake Crist!

Jake offered his brother his hand, but was slapped instead. Crist chased Dave back to the locker room.

Awesome, balls to the wall sick action with a ton of high spots and stiff action.

Your winners, BLK OUT!

This was absolutely mind blowing, just in terms of the crazy male vs. female violence and some really creative spots and brutal looking table spots.  This needed to be a war because of the feud and it was.  Great stuff.

Six Man Scramble: Alex Payne vs. Drew Gulak vs. tHURTeen vs. Ryan McBride vs. Derek Frazier  vs. Dustin Rayz to determine number one contender to CZW title.

McBride and Rayz started out.  McBride grabbed a side headlock but was sent into the ropes.  Rayz was dropkicked out of the ring.  Payne nailed a springboard dropkick in on McBride.  He shoved him into the ropes and rebounded landing with all his weight on him.  Payne followed up with several headbutts and whipped McBride into the corner, drilling him with a running knee.  Frazier blind tagged in and unloaded with chops on Payne.

Inside the ring, the match continued with the others all battling back and forth and doing some unique three way submissions.  Frazier nailed Thurteen and got into it with referee Dru Blood, who he's had issues with, so Blood attacked him and threw him out of the ring.  Blood hit a tope to the outside and then nailed Frazier with a chair.  They kept brawling and that brought out a ton of officials to break them up.

In the chaos, Gulak covered Thurteen and pinned him, becoming the new number one contender for the CZW title.

As officials held Blood and Frazier apart, CZW owner DJ Hyde came out.  He told Blood he is not a wrestler anymore and questioned him.  He asked Blood if he wanted a match and then asked Frazier if he wanted to see it.  He asked the fans if they wanted to see it.  Hyde instead told Blood he was fired and told security to throw him out.  Frazier and McBride started brawling.  Hyde told him that if they wanted to fight, they can do it in January and to get out the building.  Hyde heard the fans chanting at him and told them that they probably want to see John Zandig, the former owner back.  The place popped.  He said too bad they'd never see him again, since he's retired.  Foreshadowing perhaps?

Drake Younger vs. Rory Mondo

There are weapons in the ring and a barbed wire board.  Younger immediately drilled Mondo with a punch, then pressed and threw him out of the ring through the barbed wire board which on a  table on the floor.    The place went nuts for that.  He drilled Mondo with a sick chair shot, then a barbed wire board to the gut.  He nailed a Russian Legsweep with the board and then drilled it into Mondo's head before stomping it into his head.

Mondo was busted open.  Young spilled Tekkens on the mat and nailed a delayed vertical suplex on them.  The crowd chanted, "Stick it in his head."  Younger slammed Mondo on them, then slammed a chair onto them.  Younger beat the piss out of him with a water jug that was attached to a stick.  Younger went to nail him with a trash can but Mondo kicked him in the gut and nailed him twice with it.  He put the tekken in Younger's head and drilled him with the can again.

Younger made a comeback and nailed a powerbomb off the top onto the trash can, which was turned upside down.  The can did NOT budge one bit.  It was one of the sickest spots I've ever seen.  Younger pulled the tekken out of his own head.  He grabbed a box and dumped an entire box full of broken glass onto the mat.  He pressed and dropped Mondo onto it and then pulled him across it in circles.

Younger filled Mondo's mouth with glass and punched him in the face.  He then threw a chair at Mondo.  He swung the chair again, but Mondo ducked and hit himself, laying himself out.  Mondo worked over Younger and placed him on a chair.  He nailed a double stomp off the chair for a two count.

Mondo set up a barbed wire board upside down so the barbed wire was facing Younger, over two chairs and double stomped it into Younger.  Younger kicked out and was psyched up by the move, eating glass and spitting it out.  He nailed Mondo with a pair of powerbombs on the glass, but Mondo kicked out.

Younger went for the Vertebreaker and nailed it on the glass, covering Mondo.  He pulled him up at one.  He set up a chair and hit a back superplex through the chair for the pin.

Your winner, Drake Younger!

That was a sick, insane, holy hell beatdown.  There were a hell of insane spots and crazy bumps that made you cringe and shake your head from the insanity.

Kamui & Yoshiko Sasaki & Masa Takanashi & Jun Kasai & Jaki Numazaewa vs. Danshoku Dieno & Kudo & Kengo Mashimo & Takashi Sasaki & Ryuji Ito

Dieno kissed Larry Legend again.  This was after he chased a guy who was in his underwear and tied up from the back and around ringside.  Different strokes rule the world, folks.  They all brawled at the bell.  Instant chaos.  Diego molested Kamui as he worked him over early.

Kamui came back with several dropkicks.  Mashimo tagged in and Yoshino followed in and began kicking each other back and forth.  Takanashi tagged in and worked over Yoshiko.  Kudo tagged in and nailed a slingshot double knees bomb attack on him for a two count.  Dieno tagged in and nailed a crotch to the face on Takanashi. He went to the top and pulled down his pants so his partners could run their opponent into his bare crotch.  This led to a comedy spot where Jaki used a broom to attack and it instead was embedded in his rear end.  This is what I write about for a living folks.  Dieno had trouble pulling it out so when Jaki did, there was brown at the tip.  Oh boy.  Dieno remained hanging atop the corner for a LONG time.

The battle kicked off with some crazy stiff back and forth action.  Kamui was powerbombed by Takashi but came back with a rolling kick and a senton.  Everyone hit the ring to break it up and brawled all over the arena.  Kamui tried to pulled down Dieno's pants and ended up shoved into the crack.

Everyone started working on Kamui.  Ito hit a frog splash but everyone hit the ring to break it up.   Takashi hit a Falcon's Arrow for the pin.

Your winners, Danshoku Dieno & Kudo & Kengo Mashimo & Takashi Sasaki & Ryuji Ito!

Quite the spectacle.

Homicide looked confused but finally agreed with Kingston and laid out the referee as well.  They turned their attention back to Most Wanted.  Kingston tossed a few chairs in the ring.  They rang the bell and declared it a no content.  They kept brawling as a ton of security hit the ring to break it up.  Jeez started killing people with chairs.   All four beat the hell out of the security.  The ring announcer tried again to announce it was over but Kingston took the mic and demanded Most Wanted return to the ring.  They finally returned and started brawling again. 

 One lone security guy tried to stop them to no avail.  Most Wanted split, so Homicide and Kingston decided to take their anger out of him, dropping him with a Gringo Killer on the mi and beating the piss out of him with chairs.   A fan was  giving Kingston static so he hopped the rails and went after him, getting in his face.

A really good brawl.

Ultraviolent Trial Pit of Death Match: Bulldozer Matt Tremont vs. Danny Havoc

There is a pit of spikes and a pit of thumbtacks.   Havoc was bleeding early from his glass match wound.  Tremont tried to force his head into the spikes.  Havoc battled back and tried to force Tremont into the thumbtacks.  Tremont did the Cactus clothesline. 

On the floor, Tremont nailed Havoc with a chair.  Havoc battled back with a series of shots.  He worked over Tremont with shots, then whipped him into the stairs.   Tremont came back with a slam.   Back in the ring, Tremont nailed a series of chops in the corner.  Havoc came back with a dropkick to the knee and a knee to the face.

Havoc battled Tremont over the spikes and Tremont teased falling into them, then grabbed Havoc and suplexed him on the spikes.  OUCH.  He ripped Havoc's face into the spike.    He slammed Havoc into the thumbtacks with a bunch embedded into his head, then poured some over Havoc's chest.  Tremont stomped the chest and then elbowdropped it.  He poured tacks in the ring and slammed Havoc on  them.

Tremont teased a powerbomb onto the spikes but was backdropped onto them.  His boot was totally embedded in them and it took three staffers to help pull his foot out of the spikes.  Havoc pulled him to the tacks and DDT'd him into that pit.   Tremont, who was now limping, kicked out.

Havoc followed up with a bulldog into the tacks with Tremont landed chest first on the tacks.  Havoc went to the top but Tremont tried to stop him.  He slammed Havoc off the top onto the tacks and powerbombed Havoc onto them for a two count.  This is a damn war of attrition.

Your winner, Matt Tremont!

  This was a hell of a death match with a ton of crazy, evil stunts and spots.  I loved it.  I didn't care for the Gulak angle at the end, but understood what the company was going for storyline wise with it.

Tremont tried to apologize to Havoc for what happened, but Havoc blew him off and slammed a chair out of frustration.   Tremont said that he waited his entire life for Cage of Death and he's sorry that Gulak stuck his nose in where it didn't belong because it was supposed to be him, Havoc and the fans.  He said that last January, Gulak mocked his hero (Nick Gage, who wasn't mentioned by name) and his hero wasn't here to defend himself but Matt Tremont is.  He challenged Gulak, saying he is calling him out for January.  A HELL of a promo.

DJ Hyde vs. Greg Excellent - No Holds Barred, If Hyde wins, Excellent leaves the company.  If Excellent wins, he gets three wishes.

They brawled to the floor immediately.   Excellent brought him around ringside, where he held the fans with chops.  Hyde made a comeback but a woman hit the ring and attacks Hyde with a leaping DDT.   Excellent covered her and she broke it up, saying if he won, he wanted one of the wishes.  Hyde attacked him and then speared her.  Mia Yim hit the ring and attacked Excellent.  He laid her out with a suplex.

Hyde worked over Excellent and he hulked up.  They played Real American on the speakers and he did the entire routine, including a big boot and legdrop.  Hyde kicked up, Mia Yim handed DJ a chair.  Greg Excellent's mother, who he laid out a year ago in an angle at COD12, came out and wanted to nail him with the chair.  She revealed a Hyde shirt, so he let her.  She instead nailed Hyde and hit him with a stone cold stunner.

Hyde kicked out and worked over Excellent.  "Youth Gone Wild" played and the place popped like they all came at once.  Zandig hopped the rail and hit a discus clothesline on Hyde.  Excellent covered DJ and won.

Your winner, Greg Excellent!

Zandig went to the back as Excellent celebrated with his mom.

THE CAGE OF DEATH

CZW champion Devon Moore vs. CZW Ultraviolent Underground champion Masada vs. Robert Anthony vs. Scotty Vortekz - First Man to Retrieve the CZW title wins.

As you can see from the photos, no ropes barbed wire.  Spider web barbed wire wall on one side.  Glass partitions on two sides and you have to climb one of four ladders to make it to the belt.

Masada and Scotty brawled as Moore was ripped into the barbed wire by Anthony.   Scotty was backdropped into the spider web barbed wire and must have been cut bad as they were immediately trying to stop it.  He still nailed Moore with a spin kick.  Moore was busted open as well.

Masada was tossed over the barbed wire onto one of the cage partitions and caught his hair in the barbed wire on the way down.    Drew tried to climb the ladder but was pulled down by Scotty.  They tried to throw each other into one of the glass walls but in the end Scotty used head scissors to send Moore crashing through the glass, which showered the first row.

Masada, who had glass on his tape, began raking Anthony's head with it.  Anthony was bleeding by the ear.  Anthony was whipped into the barbed wire.  Masada forced him into the wire.  Scotty recovered and nailed Masada into the wire with an enziguiri.  Moore and Scotty speared Masada and Anthony into the wire.  Masada's calf was pierced by the wire.

Scotty and Anthony brawled on their knees.  Masada grabbed Moore and dug his face into the barbed wire.  Masada and Anthony powerbombed their opponents through another glass partition at the same time, with the glass exploding in all directions.  The crowd clapped and rallied both of them.  They brawled back and forth.  Masada had the better of it but Anthony battled back.  Masada cut him off with a clothesline.

Masada pulled put skewers and stuck them in Anthony's head.  They were all sticking out.  Masada then dropkicked him in the head.   Masada set up several chairs and attempted to suplex Anthony but he reversed it into a vertebreaker onto the chairs.  Anthony and Scotty began to recover as Anthony hit a running death valley driver into the spider web barbed wire.

Moore tried to climb the ladder but was sent off of it to a piece of cage set at a 45 degree angle.  Masada and Scotty brawled on a platform and Masada was sent off into the piece of cage.  Scotty then hit a senton off of it onto the partition.  This is nuts.

Moore and Anthony brawled on the top platform and Moore speared him off into the ring.  Scotty recovered and set up a table in the center of the ring.   He chopped Anthony, who battled back with uppercuts. Anthony picked him up for a powerbomb and did a running sit-down bomb into a side of the cage that featured a glass center, shattering through and crashing through a table that was set up underneath.  Scotty's back was shredded.

Masada returned to the ring and spiked Moore with a skewer, then piledrove him beautifully through the middle of a table.  The crowd chanted, "This is awesome."   Masada then picked up Moore and powerbombed him through a piece of the table.  He started to scale the contraption as fans chanted for him.

Masada started climbing the cage as Moore recovered and climbed another ladder.  Moore reached for the belt, which fell into the ring.  Moore took a bump into the ring and crawled to get the belt, retaining it.

Your winner and still CZW champion, Devon Moore!

Pretty much the entire company came out and applauded them.  There were chants for Masada and Scotty.  Hyde entered the ring and told everyone to turn the cameras off and said the iPPV was over.  Hyde said that he knows he hates all the people and he's a bad guy but damn it was a great Cage of Death.  He announced a double header with EVOLVE in January.

Hyde turned to Moore and told him he's been the MVP of Cage of Death for the last three years.  He said Scotty got his hand nearly cut off and came back out and still killed in the match.   He said Robert Anthony stepped up and went from a pretty boy to do a death match.  He said Masada was one of the best wrestlers in the world and he said everyone here and this crew is a family busting their ass for what they love.  He asked everyone to give it up for the wrestlers, the Japanese stars and even John Zandig for what they did tonight.  The crowd chanted "CZW."

Hyde said that it was something special tonight and everyone witnessed a show they won't see until next year.  He said in the future, CZW will be doing so much more and said he hopes to see everyone back here because the crew wants nothing more than to see everyone here while they bust their asses.

That was pretty damn insane.

Thanks for logging in with us tonight!

COD 2011

Welcome to PWInsider.com's live, ongoing coverage of CZW Cage of Death 13 from Philadelphia, PA!

Larry Legend came out and welcomed everyone to COD, running down the main events of the card. Maven Bentley came out and said that in CZW, they try to give the best of every style but there are several men here who are truly the best at what they do. He introduced a group of Marines who were in the house to collect donations for Toys for Tots.

CZW Wired champion Jake Crist vs. Dave Crist.

They started out hot with a lot of fast action. Jake hit a crazy tope through the ropes. Dave came back with a big twisting dive over the top to the floor. Jake tried to leap off the ropes but was kneed in the air. Dave charged him but Jake moved. Dave went for a monkey flip but Jake turned it around and landed on his feet. Dave nailed him with an elbow. Jake drilled him with several superkicks and a back suplex for a two count. He grabbed an armbar submission but Dave fought it off. Dave landed a cutter but was too tired to follow up. He finally covered Jake, but only scored a two count.

Dave went to the top rope but was cut off. Jake nailed a superplex, then pulled him back up for another suplex. Jake followed up with a shining wizard for a two count. Dave came back with a springboard into an awesome looking DDT for a two count. He followed up with a bulldog like move, flying through the ropes and clotheslining his brother on the ropes throat-first.

They battled on the top rope until Jake Crist drilled his brother with a Canadian flip piledriver off the top for the pin. THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY SICK!

Your winner and still champion, Jake Crist!

Jake offered his brother his hand, but was slapped instead. Crist chased Dave back to the locker room.

Awesome, balls to the wall sick action with a ton of high spots and stiff action.

Best of Three Tables: BLK-OUT (Ruckus & Alex Colon & Chrissy Rivera with Robbie Mireno) vs. The Runaways (Joe Gacy & Ryan Slater & Kimber Lee)

The girls started catfighting immediately but were broken up by the teams, who then started brawling.   Colon and Slater went back and forth in the ring with hiptosses and armdrags as Slater and Ruckus brawled on the floor.  Colon dove out on Gacy while Slater his a dive on Ruckus.  The girls started slugging it out and went back and forth until Rivera speared Lee.  Ruckus nailed the Razzle Dazzle on her followed by Colon kicking her.  Rivera nailed a Facewash on Lee.

Lee cut her off with a shot and went to the top.  Rivera joined her battling as the teams brawled on the floor.  Rivera superplexed Lee off the top onto everyone and the building went nuts.  As everyone recovered, Ruckus set up a table in the corner but was attacked by Gacy.  Ruckus went for a handspring elbow off the ropes but was caught and nailed.

Gacy grabbed Rivera by the hair and tried to throw her into the table.  She ran up the table, slid down and low blowed him.  She then hit a tornado DDT off the table.  Lee attacked her and started choking her.  The Runaways started triple teamed her and powerbombed Rivera through a table.

It's 1-0 in Falls for the Runaways.

River was carried out.

The Runaways tried to triple team Colon but he was able to maneuver Lee and Gacy into the corner and wiped them out.  He drilled Lee with a running foot.  Colon was grabbed and suplexed off the corner by Slater, who was now hanging off the ropes.  Ruckus hit a Van Terminator on Slater while he was hanging.   Gacy attacked Ruckus and they battled on the top rope.  Ruckus tried to superplex him out of the ring onto a table on the floor but was unable to do so.  Colon came out of anywhere with a flying leg lariat and wiped out Gacy, sending him to the floor through a different table.

It's now tied.

Gacy was out on the floor.

Lee nailed a top rope rana on Colon.  Lee and Slater laid him out with flying moves.  They set up a table on the floor.  Lee and Slater tried to double suplex Ruckus out of the ring but Colon attacked Slater and they battled back and forth.  Left alone, Lee was no match for Ruckus and was hit with a suplex into an inverted sit-down bomb through a table on the floor.

Your winners, BLK OUT!

This was absolutely mind blowing, just in terms of the crazy male vs. female violence and some really creative spots and brutal looking table spots.  This needed to be a war because of the feud and it was.  Great stuff.

Six Man Scramble: Alex Payne vs. Drew Gulak vs. tHURTeen vs. Ryan McBride vs. Derek Frazier  vs. Dustin Rayz to determine number one contender to CZW title.

McBride and Rayz started out.  McBride grabbed a side headlock but was sent into the ropes.  Rayz was dropkicked out of the ring.  Payne nailed a springboard dropkick in on McBride.  He shoved him into the ropes and rebounded landing with all his weight on him.  Payne followed up with several headbutts and whipped McBride into the corner, drilling him with a running knee.  Frazier blind tagged in and unloaded with chops on Payne.

Thurteen tagged in and we had a flurry of people tagging in and out doing crazy moves.  Rayz hit a moonsault on McBride.  Payne hit the ring and worked over McBride, stomping him and nailing a running kick.  He peppered him with forearms and suplexed him over.  Frazier attacked Payne and dispatched him, then stood over McBride with one foot.  Thurteen, Payne and Rayz all tried to dropkick him but he ducked, so they all nailed him with three at the same time.

They continued with a lot of fast spots.  Rayz set up McBride on the ropes and nailed him.  Payne powerslammed him off the ropes.  Payne hit  dive to the floor.  Rayz nailed a moonsault off the top to the floor and wiped everyone but Gulak, who remained in his corner the entire match.  A ton of officials ran out to check on him and he was eventually stretchered out.

Inside the ring, the match continued with the others all battling back and forth and doing some unique three way submissions.  Frazier nailed Thurteen and got into it with referee Dru Blood, who he's had issues with, so Blood attacked him and threw him out of the ring.  Blood hit a tope to the outside and then nailed Frazier with a chair.  They kept brawling and that brought out a ton of officials to break them up.

In the chaos, Gulak covered Thurteen and pinned him, becoming the new number one contender for the CZW title.

As officials held Blood and Frazier apart, CZW owner DJ Hyde came out.  He told Blood he is not a wrestler anymore and questioned him.  He asked Blood if he wanted a match and then asked Frazier if he wanted to see it.  He asked the fans if they wanted to see it.  Hyde instead told Blood he was fired and told security to throw him out.  Frazier and McBride started brawling.  Hyde told him that if they wanted to fight, they can do it in January and to get out the building.  Hyde heard the fans chanting at him and told them that they probably want to see John Zandig, the former owner back.  The place popped.  He said too bad they'd never see him again, since he's retired.  Foreshadowing perhaps?

Drake Younger vs. Rory Mondo

There are weapons in the ring and a barbed wire board.  Younger immediately drilled Mondo with a punch, then pressed and threw him out of the ring through the barbed wire board which on a  table on the floor.    The place went nuts for that.  He drilled Mondo with a sick chair shot, then a barbed wire board to the gut.  He nailed a Russian Legsweep with the board and then drilled it into Mondo's head before stomping it into his head.

Mondo was busted open.  Young spilled Tekkens on the mat and nailed a delayed vertical suplex on them.  The crowd chanted, "Stick it in his head."  Younger slammed Mondo on them, then slammed a chair onto them.  Younger beat the piss out of him with a water jug that was attached to a stick.  Younger went to nail him with a trash can but Mondo kicked him in the gut and nailed him twice with it.  He put the tekken in Younger's head and drilled him with the can again.

Younger made a comeback and nailed a powerbomb off the top onto the trash can, which was turned upside down.  The can did NOT budge one bit.  It was one of the sickest spots I've ever seen.  Younger pulled the tekken out of his own head.  He grabbed a box and dumped an entire box full of broken glass onto the mat.  He pressed and dropped Mondo onto it and then pulled him across it in circles.

Younger filled Mondo's mouth with glass and punched him in the face.  He then threw a chair at Mondo.  He swung the chair again, but Mondo ducked and hit himself, laying himself out.  Mondo worked over Younger and placed him on a chair.  He nailed a double stomp off the chair for a two count.

Mondo set up a barbed wire board upside down so the barbed wire was facing Younger, over two chairs and double stomped it into Younger.  Younger kicked out and was psyched up by the move, eating glass and spitting it out.  He nailed Mondo with a pair of powerbombs on the glass, but Mondo kicked out.

Younger went for the Vertebreaker and nailed it on the glass, covering Mondo.  He pulled him up at one.  He set up a chair and hit a back superplex through the chair for the pin.

Your winner, Drake Younger!

That was a sick, insane, holy hell beatdown.  There were a hell of insane spots and crazy bumps that made you cringe and shake your head from the insanity.

Kamui & Yoshiko Sasaki & Masa Takanashi & Jun Kasai & Jaki Numazaewa vs. Danshoku Dieno & Kudo & Kengo Mashimo & Takashi Sasaki & Ryuji Ito

Dieno kissed Larry Legend again.  This was after he chased a guy who was in his underwear and tied up from the back and around ringside.  Different strokes rule the world, folks.  They all brawled at the bell.  Instant chaos.  Diego molested Kamui as he worked him over early.

Kamui came back with several dropkicks.  Mashimo tagged in and Yoshino followed in and began kicking each other back and forth.  Takanashi tagged in and worked over Yoshiko.  Kudo tagged in and nailed a slingshot double knees bomb attack on him for a two count.  Dieno tagged in and nailed a crotch to the face on Takanashi. He went to the top and pulled down his pants so his partners could run their opponent into his bare crotch.  This led to a comedy spot where Jaki used a broom to attack and it instead was embedded in his rear end.  This is what I write about for a living folks.  Dieno had trouble pulling it out so when Jaki did, there was brown at the tip.  Oh boy.  Dieno remained hanging atop the corner for a LONG time.

The battle kicked off with some crazy stiff back and forth action.  Kamui was powerbombed by Takashi but came back with a rolling kick and a senton.  Everyone hit the ring to break it up and brawled all over the arena.  Kamui tried to pulled down Dieno's pants and ended up shoved into the crack.

Everyone started working on Kamui.  Ito hit a frog splash but everyone hit the ring to break it up.   Takashi hit a Falcon's Arrow for the pin.

Your winners, Danshoku Dieno & Kudo & Kengo Mashimo & Takashi Sasaki & Ryuji Ito!

Quite the spectacle.

Homicide looked confused but finally agreed with Kingston and laid out the referee as well.  They turned their attention back to Most Wanted.  Kingston tossed a few chairs in the ring.  They rang the bell and declared it a no content.  They kept brawling as a ton of security hit the ring to break it up.  Jeez started killing people with chairs.   All four beat the hell out of the security.  The ring announcer tried again to announce it was over but Kingston took the mic and demanded Most Wanted return to the ring.  They finally returned and started brawling again. 

 One lone security guy tried to stop them to no avail.  Most Wanted split, so Homicide and Kingston decided to take their anger out of him, dropping him with a Gringo Killer on the mi and beating the piss out of him with chairs.   A fan was  giving Kingston static so he hopped the rails and went after him, getting in his face.

A really good brawl.

There is a pit of spikes and a pit of thumbtacks.   Havoc was bleeding early from his glass match wound.  Tremont tried to force his head into the spikes.  Havoc battled back and tried to force Tremont into the thumbtacks.  Tremont did the Cactus clothesline.

Tremont teased a powerbomb onto the spikes but was backdropped onto them.  His boot was totally embedded in them and it took three staffers to help pull his foot out of the spikes.  Havoc pulled him to the tacks and DDT'd him into that pit.   Tremont, who was now limping, kicked out.

Havoc followed up with a bulldog into the tacks with Tremont landed chest first on the tacks.  Havoc went to the top but Tremont tried to stop him.  He slammed Havoc off the top onto the tacks and powerbombed Havoc onto them for a two count.  This is a damn war of attrition.

Your winner, Matt Tremont!

  This was a hell of a death match with a ton of crazy, evil stunts and spots.  I loved it.  I didn't care for the Gulak angle at the end, but understood what the company was going for storyline wise with it.

Tremont tried to apologize to Havoc for what happened, but Havoc blew him off and slammed a chair out of frustration.   Tremont said that he waited his entire life for Cage of Death and he's sorry that Gulak stuck his nose in where it didn't belong because it was supposed to be him, Havoc and the fans.  He said that last January, Gulak mocked his hero (Nick Gage, who wasn't mentioned by name) and his hero wasn't here to defend himself but Matt Tremont is.  He challenged Gulak, saying he is calling him out for January.  A HELL of a promo.

DJ Hyde vs. Greg Excellent - No Holds Barred, If Hyde wins, Excellent leaves the company.  If Excellent wins, he gets three wishes.

They brawled to the floor immediately.   Excellent brought him around ringside, where he held the fans with chops.  Hyde made a comeback but a woman hit the ring and attacks Hyde with a leaping DDT.   Excellent covered her and she broke it up, saying if he won, he wanted one of the wishes.  Hyde attacked him and then speared her.  Mia Yim hit the ring and attacked Excellent.  He laid her out with a suplex.

Hyde worked over Excellent and he hulked up.  They played Real American on the speakers and he did the entire routine, including a big boot and legdrop.  Hyde kicked up, Mia Yim handed DJ a chair.  Greg Excellent's mother, who he laid out a year ago in an angle at COD12, came out and wanted to nail him with the chair.  She revealed a Hyde shirt, so he let her.  She instead nailed Hyde and hit him with a stone cold stunner.

Hyde kicked out and worked over Excellent.  "Youth Gone Wild" played and the place popped like they all came at once.  Zandig hopped the rail and hit a discus clothesline on Hyde.  Excellent covered DJ and won.

Your winner, Greg Excellent!

Zandig went to the back as Excellent celebrated with his mom.

THE CAGE OF DEATH

CZW champion Devon Moore vs. CZW Ultraviolent Underground champion Masada vs. Robert Anthony vs. Scotty Vortekz - First Man to Retrieve the CZW title wins.

As you can see from the photos, no ropes barbed wire.  Spider web barbed wire wall on one side.  Glass partitions on two sides and you have to climb one of four ladders to make it to the belt.

Masada and Scotty brawled as Moore was ripped into the barbed wire by Anthony.   Scotty was backdropped into the spider web barbed wire and must have been cut bad as they were immediately trying to stop it.  He still nailed Moore with a spin kick.  Moore was busted open as well.

Masada was tossed over the barbed wire onto one of the cage partitions and caught his hair in the barbed wire on the way down.    Drew tried to climb the ladder but was pulled down by Scotty.  They tried to throw each other into one of the glass walls but in the end Scotty used head scissors to send Moore crashing through the glass, which showered the first row.

Masada, who had glass on his tape, began raking Anthony's head with it.  Anthony was bleeding by the ear.  Anthony was whipped into the barbed wire.  Masada forced him into the wire.  Scotty recovered and nailed Masada into the wire with an enziguiri.  Moore and Scotty speared Masada and Anthony into the wire.  Masada's calf was pierced by the wire.

Scotty and Anthony brawled on their knees.  Masada grabbed Moore and dug his face into the barbed wire.  Masada and Anthony powerbombed their opponents through another glass partition at the same time, with the glass exploding in all directions.  The crowd clapped and rallied both of them.  They brawled back and forth.  Masada had the better of it but Anthony battled back.  Masada cut him off with a clothesline.

Masada pulled put skewers and stuck them in Anthony's head.  They were all sticking out.  Masada then dropkicked him in the head.   Masada set up several chairs and attempted to suplex Anthony but he reversed it into a vertebreaker onto the chairs.  Anthony and Scotty began to recover as Anthony hit a running death valley driver into the spider web barbed wire.

Moore tried to climb the ladder but was sent off of it to a piece of cage set at a 45 degree angle.  Masada and Scotty brawled on a platform and Masada was sent off into the piece of cage.  Scotty then hit a senton off of it onto the partition.  This is nuts.

Moore and Anthony brawled on the top platform and Moore speared him off into the ring.  Scotty recovered and set up a table in the center of the ring.   He chopped Anthony, who battled back with uppercuts. Anthony picked him up for a powerbomb and did a running sit-down bomb into a side of the cage that featured a glass center, shattering through and crashing through a table that was set up underneath.  Scotty's back was shredded.

Masada returned to the ring and spiked Moore with a skewer, then piledrove him beautifully through the middle of a table.  The crowd chanted, "This is awesome."   Masada then picked up Moore and powerbombed him through a piece of the table.  He started to scale the contraption as fans chanted for him.

Masada started climbing the cage as Moore recovered and climbed another ladder.  Moore reached for the belt, which fell into the ring.  Moore took a bump into the ring and crawled to get the belt, retaining it.

Your winner and still CZW champion, Devon Moore!

Pretty much the entire company came out and applauded them.  There were chants for Masada and Scotty.  Hyde entered the ring and told everyone to turn the cameras off and said the iPPV was over.  Hyde said that he knows he hates all the people and he's a bad guy but damn it was a great Cage of Death.  He announced a double header with EVOLVE in January.

Hyde turned to Moore and told him he's been the MVP of Cage of Death for the last three years.  He said Scotty got his hand nearly cut off and came back out and still killed in the match.   He said Robert Anthony stepped up and went from a pretty boy to do a death match.  He said Masada was one of the best wrestlers in the world and he said everyone here and this crew is a family busting their ass for what they love.  He asked everyone to give it up for the wrestlers, the Japanese stars and even John Zandig for what they did tonight.  The crowd chanted "CZW."

Hyde said that it was something special tonight and everyone witnessed a show they won't see until next year.  He said in the future, CZW will be doing so much more and said he hopes to see everyone back here because the crew wants nothing more than to see everyone here while they bust their asses.

That was pretty damn insane.

Thanks for logging in with us tonight!
