aceldamas presents CZW

[Pariah]

Thoroughly enjoyed that wicked main event, even though like our friend, cruefan68, I was hoping for Callihan to win the title... Also enjoying Strickland's run with the Wired belt...

Masada looked really strong in the show opener and I'd like to see him climb the ranks... Absolutely entertaining!

[aceldamas]

cruefan68 , Pariah - Not to disagree with the fans but I'm glad Danny Havoc retained. He's on a nice little run and I'd like to see the belt stick for a while. (Also, probably to the disappointment of you guys, I'm not much of a Sami Callihan fan - sorry ) Strickland and OI4K are also rolling as mentioned but things are changing with this show. And Pariah, MASADA gets a title shot right here. Thanks for reading and commenting!

DJ Hyde & Alex Colon def. Greg Excellent & Devon Moore  by pin
The opening contest was a well-paced, back and forth tag team match. Everyone got some shine but it was Hyde going over with a Shadow Driver on Moore.

John Silver def. Lucky tHURTeen  by submission
At the start of the match, Silver flexed and roared, trying to intimate Lucky. The low key member of the Nation of Intoxication got out of the ring and leaned against the barricade, apparently waiting for Silver to finish his posturing. A fan offered him a beer which he accepted. This angered Silver who came out after him. Lucky punched him in the face and the match got under way. Lucky hit Silver with one high impact move after another. The powerful Silver turned the momentum in his favor and planted Lucky with The Spin Doctor but only got a two count. The Spin Doctor again, shoulder up at two again. His frustration showing, John took a shot at Lucky with a chair on the outside. Silver continued to thump the resilient Lucky until he was finally able to make him submit to the Booby Trap.

Matt Tremont def. Chris Dickinson by referee stoppage
Both men were intense after the introductions, going forehead to forehead in each other’s faces, getting themselves and the crowd amped up. Tremont viciously attacked first but Dickinson was soon in control. Matt absorbed some ferocious offense before rolling out of the way of a springboard elbow drop. Powerbomb by Tremont got a two count then his ultraviolent streak kicked in and he took Dickinson out to the floor. He pulled apart the guardrail and powerbombed Chris again, this time on a section of the steel barricade. It was downhill from there for Dickinson as Tremont pounded him into oblivion with brutal crossface punches. Chris went limp and the ref called it, awarding the win to Tremont.

CZW WIRED CHAMPIONSHIP
Shane Strickland(c) vs. Drew Gulak DRAW
The majority of this Wired title match saw Strickland overwhelm Gulak with a non-stop assault of aerial attacks. To his credit, Drew kicked out of multiple pin attempts and was able to get some late offense in before the match went to a time limit draw.

Non-Title
Sozio & Joe Gacy def. OI4K by pin
The Front once again tried to give CZW World Tag-Team Champions OI4K some competition, this time with the combination of Sozio and Gacy. This pairing looked like the one to do it. They worked over Jake Crist and Gacy tried to force a submission with The Mangler. Dave Crist tagged in and got his team on track. Gacy took control again against Jake and landed a Top Rope Splash, bringing Dave in for the save. Sozio then got a near fall on Jake with The Yakuza Kick. Jake made a comeback and had Sozio in trouble with a dragon sleeper. The Crist brothers worked as a team but Sozio kept them at bay and hit Curtains on Jake for a long two count. Gacy pummeled Jake some more before Sozio came back in for Curtains. This time Jake didn’t kick out and The Front took the win. Sozio started posing with his foot on Jake and Dave took exception, attacking him. Gacy joined in and Dave took a beating until Jake recovered and a lengthy brawl took place. Once the dust had settled, it seemed clear to everyone that a rematch was in order. This time with the tag-team titles on the line.

Sami Callihan def. A.R. Fox by pin
This much-anticipated undercard feature had the fans hyped. Fox ran roughshod over Callihan for most of the match. Fox’s spectacular arsenal thrilled everyone but Sami who made a short-lived comeback late in the match. When it looked like Fox was heading into the home stretch, Callihan caught him with a surprise cradle off the ropes for the three count. Fox was in shock as the fans cheered Sami’s victory.

Taipei Deathmatch
CZW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
Danny Havoc(c) def. MASADA by pin
CZW’s two resident deathmatch specialists met for the world title under Taipei rules - fists wrapped, dipped in resin, and coated with glass shards. Havoc opened up with some dirty punches, glass biting into MASADA’s body. Danny then ground his glass covered fist into his opponents scalp and raked the glass on his upper arm, tearing the flesh. The champion then went for Total Havoc with MASADA kicking out at the last moment. Havoc pulled a pair of chairs out from under the ring and set them up in the middle. The two sat across from each other and traded glass enhanced blows in a bar fight! MASADA got the better of Havoc and took a turn at grinding the glass into his opponent’s head. Danny got whipped into the ropes and took a hard shot to the face on the rebound. The fight spilled out to the floor where Danny rammed MASADA into the post and peppered his forehead with rapid jabs from above. Blood was pouring down MASADA’s face at this point. Danny continued to shred MASADA with the glass and MASADA defiantly insisted they return to the bar fight scenario. This time Havoc won the exchange but had blood gushing out the side of this head. Danny turned to more conventional offense and worked a submission hold before trying Total Havoc again. MASADA kicked out at two. Danny went to his finisher one more time and got the pin. The brutal combat came to an end as Havoc retained the championship and both men showed each other respect for the their skills (i.e. tolerance for pain).

Havoc and Masada lit up the venue with that vicious main event... Very cool that Havoc was able to hang onto the belt... Thoroughly enjoyed the big win for Sami while Sozio and Sloppy Joe looked strong in their non-title victory over the Crist brothers... Keep the blood coming, my friend... Awesome work!

[cruefan68]

Danny Havoc is rolling and what a win over Masada in the Taipei Death Match. Absolutely brutal. Sami Callihan scores a nice bounce back win over A.R. Fox on a really nice undercard. Great CZW action once again.

[aceldamas]

Pariah , cruefan68 - I'm having a lot of fun with this stretch of CZW action. The violence will continue for a least a few more shows to carry us through Tournament of Death. Thanks for the reads and the comments!

April 9, 2016
Flyer's Skate Zone
Voorhees, NJ

The show opening saw CZW owner DJ Hyde bring out the twelve participants for the 2016 Best of the Best Tournament for the traditional group photo. Some new faces were in the mix as well as the the return of BLK Jeez, not seen since BLKOUT were forced to disband at Cage of Death.

Best of the Best First Round Match
BLK Jeez def. Lucky tHURTeen and Drew Gulak
The first of four triple threat qualifiers was an intense and lengthy contest. Jeez looked good in his return as he and Lucky fought to be the man who pinned Gulak, who took a lot of hard shots. Lucky actually knocked Drew out with a Shining Wizard and from there it was a one-on-one showdown. Jeez resorted to using a chair on Lucky to set up BLK Jesus Walks for the win.

Best of the Best First Round Match
Dan Barry def. A.R. Fox and George Gatton
Barry, one half of Team Tremendous, and Gatton, a CZW Dojo Wars student, stepped into the ring with last year’s BOTB winner, Fox. Barry spent some time working over Gatton as Fox watched while sitting on the top turnbuckle. Gatton tried to make a fiery comeback but was cut off by Barry. Dan kept looking in Fox’s direction, wondering when he would get involved. It happened when Barry went to the top rope and Fox pushed him off. Fox then went to the top for a 450 Splash on Gatton. Barry was able to prevent Fox from getting the cheap win. Fox and Barry battled back and forth until Gatton went after Barry again. This time Dan scored a Fallaway Slam Moonsault on George for the three count.

Best of the Best First Round Match
Andy Dalton def. Alex Colon and Chris Dickinson
“Dirty” Andy Dalton came up from Texas, where he wrestles for Inspire Pro, to try and prove he is the Best of the Best. He had his work cut out for him in the qualifier against Colon and Dickinson. Very early on, Dalton gave Colon a scare, almost pinning him after an impaler DDT. Dalton did not let up, dropping Alex with a couple of brainbusters and getting a two count. Andy turned his attention to Dickinson and lost his momentum against the stronger man. The two took turns no selling chops to the chest. Colon got back into it and almost won twice with a Done Deal on Dickinson. Dalton sh*t-canned Colon and tried to steal the win with a Piledriver on the weakened Dickinson. A brainbuster, an impaler DDT, and another Piledriver finished Dickinson. Dalton moved on to the semi-finals.

Best of the Best First Round Match
Brittany Blake def. John Silver and Chip Day
Silver was joined in this final qualifier by Chip Day, out of Atlanta’s AWE promotion, and another of CZW’s Dojo Wars students, Brittany Blake. Blake really got to showcase her skills as Silver sold her offense. After a lengthy display by Blake, Day got her out of the way to go after Silver himself. Chip used his Atomic Northern Lights Bomb twice for unsuccessful pin attempts. Blake returned to boot Chip out of the ring as he had done to her. She came off the top rope a few times on Silver, the last of which was her Killjoy double stomp, and covered him for the upset pin.

Best of the Best Semi Final Match
BLK Jeez def. Dan Barry by pin
Jeez destroyed Barry, who got in zero offense. After stomping Dan out, he finished him with a slingshot senton atomico. “F- the police, M-- f--!” were Jeez’s parting words for his opponent, referring to Barry’s detective gimmick.

Best of the Best Semi Final Match
Andy Dalton def. Brittany Blake by pin
Blake came out to a rousing applause after the big underdog win she got in her qualifier. Dalton, on the other hand, lived up to his “Dirty” moniker with his surly attitude toward his female opponent. Brittany tried using her agility to outmaneuver Dalton when he tried to rough her up. It worked at first but Andy was the bigger and more experienced wrestler. To the disgust of everyone, Dalton dropped Blake on her head with a Piledriver but pulled her up at the count of two. Dalton, who is usually gross with his tongue, was even more lewd with an opponent of the fairer sex. Brittany took some hard shots but surprised Andy with a wheelbarrow bulldog for a two count. Blake made a decent comeback but Dalton simply outclassed her. Eventually a second Piledriver ended the match with Dalton going to the final against BLK Jeez.

DJ Hyde came back out and requested that CZW World Heavyweight Champion, Danny Havoc, join him. Havoc came out with a cheer from the fans. DJ said Danny deserved the night off after his hard fought win a week ago in a Taipei Deathmatch against MASADA but next month he would have to defend his title. DJ continued by saying that they needed to determine a number one contender. He summoned four wrestler’s from the back: Sami Callihan, Sozio, Matt Tremont, and Greg Excellent. “One of you men will challenge Danny for the world title, so to find out who it will be, we’re going to have a four way elimination match.” The competitors started eyeing each other and getting pumped up. “But eliminations aren’t going to be by pinfall.” They all turned to Hyde with questioning looks. “Shawny,” DJ invoked CZW’s prop master. “Get the tables!”

#1 Contender for the CZW World Heavyweight Championship
4-WAY ELIMINATION TABLE MATCH
Greg Excellent def. Sami Callihan, Sozio, and Matt Tremont
Tables were set up on the floor on each side of the ring. The bell rang and fists flew. Sozio hit Callihan with a double knee gutbuster and tried dumping him over the rope onto one of the tables but Sami grabbed the ropes to break his fall. These two did battle with Sami hitting a suicide dive that saw them both almost go through a table but instead land on the floor. Sozio then went after Tremont with a fury. After taking Curtains twice, Tremont looked out on his feet and Sozio blasted him with The Yakuza Kick, knocking him over the top. Matt clutched the top rope at the last minute to prevent falling through a table. Sozio came out onto the apron with Tremont and set him up for Curtains again, trying to put him through a table with it this time. Matt struggled enough that Sozio ended up executing the move onto the apron instead. Tremont saved himself after The Yakuza Kick again but this time Sozio was able to drive him through a table with Curtains.
Matt Tremont was eliminated.
On fire, Sozio then went after Excellent. Greg took some shots but got the upper hand on the floor and crushed Sozio with a Rick Roll in the corner of the barricade. Excellent clobbered Sozio with a chair but missed a running splash, giving the advantage back to his foe. Callihan got back into the action and ended up getting pounded on by Excellent. After some brawling between the three, Sozio started to focus on Callihan but Sami bit back. A series of suplexes led to Sozio taking a headlock driver through a table.
Sozio was eliminated.
Callihan and Excellent paused a moment to size each other up before the final clash. Sami got cocky with Greg and ended up getting tossed around like a rag doll. Greg cracked Sami over the back twice with a chair, softening him up for the finish. A Tiger Driver from the apron through the table earned Excellent a shot at the CZW world title. Greg’s celebration was cut short because, in a scary moment, Callihan looked to have suffered a neck injury and had to be taken out on a stretcher. The fans were unsure if this was kayfabe or not.

Best of the Best Final Match
Andy Dalton def. BLK Jeez by DQ
During the introductions it was announced that the winner of BOTB would get a title shot at CZW Wired Champion Shane Strickland next month at Prelude To Violence. Both men had earned the ire of the fans during the night but most seemed to be behind CZW’s own BLK Jeez. Dalton made sure of that by starting the match spitting water in Jeez’s face and following up with a nasty eye rake. Dalton with a brainbuster and Jeez rolled out to the floor. Dalton gave Jeez a crushing senton but Jeez bought himself some time by bashing Andy’s face into the top rail of the barricade. Back in the ring, Dalton was on top again with a Northern Lariat for a two count. Jeez blocked a T-bone suplex with a thumb to the eye. This had turned into a scrap and was about to get ugly. Dalton was on a roll and it looked like Jeez was going to go down. In an act of desperation, as they were fighting on the outside, Jeez struck Dalton with the BOTB trophy. While Andy was staggered, Jeez hoisted the big prize piece over his head and broke it over Dalton’s head and repeatedly hit him with it until there was nothing left but pieces. Dalton was declared the winner, infuriating Jeez more, resulting in him being dragged off by security. Best of the Best ended in the kind of petty and disgusting display that BLK Jeez has become known for.

Oh, snap... An entertaining night of CZW action ends on a sour (and scary) note... First, the crowd is faced with the possibility that Callihan has suffered a very real neck injury... And then BLK Jeez takes a foolish shortcut in a meaningless attempt to save face against Dirty Andy Dalton in the tournament finale...

The fallout from this show should be a helluva lot of fun to watch... Excellent work!

I agree one-hundred percent with our good friend Pariah. I also absolutely love the feds you run, you have a great feel for each one and I always enjoy following along.

Pariah , cruefan68 - The fate of Sami Callihan revealed!  The villainy of BLK Jeez continues!  Read on faithful fans!

May 14, 2016
Flyers Skate Zone
Voorhees, NJ

Matt Tremont def. George Gatton  by pin
Tremont really roughed up the Dojo Wars student using a ground and pound strategy. Gatton curled up in a ball as Matt rained down elbows and crossface punches. Tremont upped his game and slammed George to the mat with a Uranage but Gatton kicked out of the pin attempt. George started fighting back, surprising Tremont. The fight went to the floor with Gatton holding his own against the ultraviolent veteran. Tremont eventually put away his opponent but it took two Sitout Powerbombs to finish him. Tremont pulled Gatton to his feet and told the fans in the Skate Zone to give it up for the kid.

Chris Dickinson def. Devon Moore  by pin
This match started out as a slugfest including the use of weapons. Dickinson began hitting his power moves. Moore was staggered for a bit but battled back. After multiple pin attempts on each side, it was Dickinson from out of nowhere with a tornado enzuigiri, leveling Devon and getting the three count.

Lucky tHURTeen def. Drew Gulak by pin
Gulak and Lucky were both CZW stalwarts looking to pick up an important win in the rankings. Last month at Best of the Best, Lucky knocked Drew out with a Shining Wizard and lightning was about to strike twice. A fast paced exchange of offense ended suddenly with Lucky hitting Gulak with a jumping knee smash, catching him under the chin and turning his lights out. An easy pin followed for Lucky and a rattled Gulak needed help as he stumbled to the back.

Sami Callihan def. Alex Colon by submission
Callihan was involved in a frightening situation last month when he appeared to suffer a neck injury from getting dropped on his head through a table. He showed no sign of adverse effects of the move and appeared to be at full capacity. Sami came out maybe too aggressively as Colon was able to counter and literally kick the snot out of him for a few minutes. But when Callihan was able to turn things in his favor, he went apes**t on Alex. Sami alternated between bludgeoning his opponent and torturing him in the Stretch Muffler, which eventually got the submission.

Before the introductions for the Wired Championship match could be made, BLK Jeez came out with a microphone and the commentary team were apprehensive as to where this might go. Andy Dalton defeated Jeez last month in a controversial final to win Best of the Best and earn a match against Wired Champion Shane Strickland tonight. Jeez looked up at the two in the ring.
“Yeah, yeah, sure. Give the white guy the title match. S- around here never changes. No one wants Jeez with a title belt that’s for f-- sure. Cracker m-- f-- from Texas. You’re probably a racist. Face it bitch, you never beat me.” Jeez gets into the ring. “And if it isn’t Mr. Oreo. Look at this Uncle Tom n-- with a title belt. Someone’s keepin’ Massa happy.”
As if on cue, CZW owner DJ Hyde uncharacteristically hurried down to the ring in a three piece suit and ordered ring announcer Emil Jay to hand him the mic. Out of character again, DJ soberly addressed Jeez: “Sabian… Darnell. I’m tired of you ruining my shows. I’ve had enough of it. I’m done with you. You need to get the f- out of my ring.”
Jeez puffed up, plainly indicating that someone was going to have to make him leave. Dalton looked eager for the task, clearly wanting payback for what Jeez did to him at BOTB.
Strickland spoke up: “No, no, DJ. I’m a fighting champion. Put him in the match. I’ll take care of him for you.”
“There he is!” Jeez mirthfully blurted. “There’s my man, suckin’ the boss’s d-.”
An angry Hyde glared at Jeez then looked to Strickland. “Alright, Shane. But I’m holding you personally responsible if anything goes wrong.”

CZW WIRED CHAMPIONSHIP
Andy Dalton def. Shane Strickland(c) and BLK Jeez
First thing Jeez did was bail out to the floor, leaving Strickland and Dalton to their own devices. They traded some offense until Jeez jumped into it, tossing Dalton to the floor and going after Strickland. Jeez used cheap tactics but Shane prevailed and landed a 450 Splash. Dalton prevented the pin and went after Jeez. Andy unleashed with a fury and took the fall with a brainbuster. Everyone was stunned by the abrupt finish as Dalton became the Wired Champion. Jeez tried going after Dalton but the new champ rolled out of the ring, holding up the belt, taunting him. Coming unhinged, Jeez attacked referee Dan Yost, stomping him unmercifully until Strickland chased him off.

John Silver def. A.R. Fox by pin
Silver and Fox had a wild, frenetic match, with a pace that never let up. Big spots and a lot of pin attempts. It was Silver with The Spin Doctor for the win.

CZW WORLD TAG-TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
OI4K(c) vs. Sozio & Joe Gacy no contest
The Front finally had some success recently against the Crists with the duo of Gacy and Sozio. Now with the titles on the line, the stakes were much higher. It looked like is was going to be over fast as Jake dropped Sozio with a spinning wheel kick and tagged in Dave for their Irish Coffee double team finisher. Sozio kicked out at two, but OI4K pushed their advantage. Sozio weathered pin and submission attempts before he was able to turn the tide and tag in Gacy. The Chainsaw proceeded to pulverize Jake and tried to put him away with a Top Rope Splash. Dave came in for the save and Sozio joined in as well, all four men brawling wildly. The fracas went to the floor and into the crowd. The ref had lost control and ruled the match a no contest. The crowd didn’t like it but the participants paid no attention, continuing to fight around the Skate Zone. Chris Dickinson came out to help his Front teammates. The numbers advantage was short-lived as, to the thrill of the crowd, Sami Callihan came out to help his fellow Ohioans. The Front retreated and Sami led a cheer of “OI - 4K!”

CZW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
Danny Havoc(c) def. Greg Excellent by pin
Excellent got a strong start to his title bid, using his size to control Havoc. Danny tried take it out to the floor to get an advantage but Greg battered him around the outside of the ring as well. Havoc fought his way back and the two went back and forth. Havoc smashed Greg with a steel chair, setting up General Order 24. Danny made the cover and got the three count to retain the title.

Very cool that Callihan bounced back from that injury so quickly... And he was certainly in fighting form... Great to see him helping out his OI4K allies... Perhaps a trios match against the Front is in the works...

Also enjoyed Havoc's defense against Excellent... Great to see him building up a solid reign with the title... Dalton scores a big win to grab the Wired title, but it looks like BLK Jeez is still grabbing the headlines with his toxic attitude...

Awesome show!

[Vegas]

Great win for Andy Dalton!

Looking forward to seeing how you incorporate the new cards you just received. I saw you have Shane Strickland and Sami Callian ranked #3 and #7 respectfully, they should be even more dangerous now with their new updates.
