Singles Match
DJ Hyde def Dave Crist via SHADOW DRIVER

* Hyde accidentally levels the referee with a lariat, allowing Crist to deliver a HEAD AND ARM TRAP DDT & cover DJ. While Dave is covering Hyde, Sami Callihan rushes to the ring. As Crist gets up to check on the referee, Callihan cracks him with a Forearm 2 Remember, & leaves the ring. Neither DJ or the referee are aware of the interference, & as all three men come to, Hyde finishes Dave off with a SHADOW DRIVER.

Best of the Best Semi-Finals Match
Caleb Konley def ACH via HOME WRECKER

* Jake Crist is with his brother as paramedics treat Dave for a possible concussion. Jake issues a warning to Sami Callihan to prepare for a war in their match tonight.

Best of the Best Semi-Finals Match
AR Fox def Johnny Gargano via KRUNCH

CZW Ultraviolent Underground Championship Ultraviolent Match
Sami Callihan {C} def Jake Crist via STRETCH MUFFLER

* Jake Crist made good on his guarantee for a war with Callihan, but Crist's focus no longer seems to be on winning the Ultraviolent Underground title - it seems to be on maiming Sami. Despite gaining a measure of revenge for Callihan's earlier attack on his brother, Jake comes up just short in claiming the championship.

CZW World Heavyweight Championship Match
Adam Cole w/ Mia Yim {C} def Matt Tremont via disqualification

* Cole gives Tremont everything he has, but is still unable to put the Bulldozer away. Frustrated, the CZW champion finds several light tubes under the ring & retrieves one. As he's about to slam the tube over the head of the recovering Tremont, Matt leaps to his feet, wrestles with Cole over possession of the tube, & in the process headbutts Adam with it. Tremont pleads his case to the referee, but after what many in attendance considered a theatrical performance by the Panama City Playboy where he insisted he was unable to continue the title bout, the referee has no choice but to disqualify Tremont as Cole requests assistance from CZW staff to leave ringside. Tremont is beside himself as he realizes that this will likely result in another suspension.

Best of the Best Finals Match
Caleb Konley def AR Fox via Michinoku Driver

* Everyone in attendance, including Konley, appear stunned at his upset of the Whole Foxin' Show! As Fox, a favorite to win the tournament, regains his senses, he congratulates Caleb despite being visibly disappointed in himself. What lies ahead for AR, as well as the newcomer Konley?

[Vegas]

Great to see Caleb Konley win Best of the Best XIII!

[three482]

* CZW management is currently reviewing the incident leading to Matt Tremont's controversial disqualification in his CZW World Heavyweight Championship match with Adam Cole at Best of the Best & hope to have a decision sometime next week.

* Caleb Konley shocked most of the wrestling world at Best of the Best by defeating favorite AR Fox in the finals. CZW officials, however, were quick to reward both men for their efforts in the tournament, granting both of them title shots at To Infinity! Fox is the next contender to challenge Sami Callihan for the CZW Ultraviolent Underground title, & Konley will be pitted against CZW World Heavyweight champion Adam Cole in what will be unquestionably the most important match of his young career!

* At To Infinity, Shane Strickland looks to get back on track to a title shot as he will square off with former ECW & NWA World Heavyweight Champion, Steve Corino! It won't be an easy task, however, as Corino will surely utilize every dirty tactic in the cunning veteran's arsenal.

* In addition, there is a lot of buzz in the locker room that CZW management is close to securing a multi-show deal that will see a true CZW legend return to the Combat Zone!

* CZW management has issued their decision regarding Matt Tremont. After his barbaric & unprovoked attack with his fork on Adam Cole in January at Answering the Challenge during the CZW World Heavyweight Championship tournament, Tremont was suspended for 1 month. In addition, when he returned, he was informed that future disqualifications would result in stiffer punishments. After closely reviewing the conclusion of his championship match with Cole at Best of the Best, although it was controversial, management has no choice but to abide by its earlier decision since Tremont was again disqualified. Therefore, management has levied a 6-month suspension on him in response to this outcome.

* After extensive testing, doctors have confirmed that Dave Crist has a concussion as the result of Sami Callihan's attack at Best of the Best. Dave will be unable to compete at To Infinity, but his brother Jake will be in action against Kyle O'Reilly! Jake swears that he is far from done with Callihan, & O'Reilly is his first step to get back to Sami.

* Also, bombshells will battle at To Infinity as Kimber Lee faces Mia Yim!

[PROMOTER'S NOTE: Over 1,000 views - thanks for reading! I deeply appreciate everyone that takes the time to read my fed, & I hope that you will continue to find it worthwhile.]

* Last week, it was reported that CZW was close to inking a multi-show agreement with a former Combat Zone superstar. It's official - CZW management is pleased to announce that at To Infinity, Necro Butcher returns to the Combat Zone! His return bout won't be an easy one, however, as he will clash with Jon Moxley!

* The CZW World Tag Team titles will not be defended at To Infinity. According to an e-mail from CZW owner DJ Hyde, new CZW World Tag Team champions BLKOUT have simply refused to defend their titles this weekend. As a result, Hyde has placed himself in a match with BLKOUT member Alex Colon!

Have been meaning to check out this fed for a few weeks now. It was well worth the wait. Interesting mix in the roster. Easy to follow and entertaining booking. Keep up the great action.

[three482]

TO INFINITY

Singles Match
Alex Colon def DJ Hyde via Sliding D

* The rest of BLKOUT emerge from the crowd during the match, & the distractions of Ruckus, BLK Jeez, & Joker prove costly to the CZW owner. As the four taunt & mock Hyde afterwards, DJ asks for a microphone. He informs them that the CZW World Tag Team titles WILL be defended next month at Proving Grounds, or he will have no other choice but to strip them of the titles. BLKOUT seems disinterested until Hyde announces their opponents: the Briscoe Brothers! The CZW crowd roars as BLKOUT leaves, furious at the news.

Singles Match
Jake Crist def Kyle O'Reilly via THE SUICIDE

* As Crist leaves ringside, he reminds Sami Callihan that he is coming for him.

Singles Bombshells Match
Kimber Lee def Mia Yim via missile dropkick

* Both ladies are taken to their limits in this closely-contested bout.

Singles Match
Shane Strickland def Steve Corino via 450 SPLASH

* Youth bests experience as Strickland is indeed able to overcome the underhanded tactics of the wily Corino.

Singles Match
Jon Moxley def Necro Butcher via Cutter

* Necro's return to the Combat Zone is spoiled by Moxley, but as CZW fans learned earlier this week, Necro isn't done in the Combat Zone.

CZW Ultraviolent Underground Championship Ultraviolent Match
Sami Callihan {C} def AR Fox via headlock driver

* As this contest rages on, Jake Crist runs out from the back & storms the ring. As he attempts to spear Callihan, Sami shoves Fox into Crist's path & then neutralizes Jake with a running forearm, the same strike that concussed his brother Dave. Callihan then finishes off Fox & the referee, powerless to do anything under ultraviolent rules, has no choice but to make the count.

CZW World Heavyweight Championship Match
Caleb Konley def Adam Cole w/ Mia Yim {C} via OH! FACE

* For the second time in as many weeks, Konley has shocked the Combat Zone, this time by winning the CZW World Heavyweight title! In only a couple of weeks, he has gone from a CZW newcomer to the champion!

(But wait!...There's more!...)

As Konley celebrates his win in the ring, Matt Tremont enters through the crowd. Konley, not knowing what to expect, drops the title & takes a defensive stance. Tremont grabs a microphone & immediately begins to try to calm Konley. As security rushes from the back & surround the ring, Tremont explains to them & to Konley that he's not here to fight. Tremont goes on to congratulate Konley on his win, & the Bulldozer reminds everyone in attendance that he was suspended by CZW management for 6 months due to the controversial outcome of his title match with Adam Cole at Best of the Best. As security appears confused & reluctant to enter the ring to engage Tremont, he continues on to say that CZW is his life, & a 6 month ban is like a death sentence to him. He says that Proving Grounds is a fitting title, & he wants to prove to everyone that CZW is where his heart is. Since CZW management hasn't returned his phone calls, he appeals to a still uncertain Konley: grant him a title match at Proving Grounds, & if he's disqualified again, regardless of the circumstances, he'll leave the Combat Zone for good. After a brief pause, Konley agrees. Tremont hands him the CZW World Heavyweight championship, shakes his hand, & the Bulldozer leaves the ring, escorted out of the building by security without incident. Konley, still bewildered by what just happened, resumes his celebration as the CZW fans applaud both he & Tremont.

[three482]

* At To Infinity, CZW owner DJ Hyde informed BLKOUT that they will defend the CZW World Tag Team Championship against the Briscoe Brothers at Proving Grounds. New CZW World Heavyweight champion Caleb Konley also agreed to defend his title against the currently suspended Matt Tremont in 2 weeks, but CZW management is still undecided on whether to accept Tremont's offer to be permanently banished from the Combat Zone if he resorts to any illegal tactics.

* After the controversial conclusion to the Ultraviolent Underground Championship match at To Infinity, AR Fox has been awarded another opportunity to challenge Sami Callihan for the title. To limit any outside interference, CZW management has ruled that the rematch will take place inside of a cage!
