MASADA vs. Joker
MASADA defeated Joker with a MASADAMIZER at 14:00
Match Rating: 3.50
Match Notes: What a great way to kick of the ToD. These two fought tooth and nail and MASADA punished Joker early on. They actually wrestled, or brawled in the ring, as opposed to going right to the weapons and when they finally did, both men were already feeling the effects of the bout.
A plunger was actually brought into play along with a chair. MASADA even nearly choked out Joker with an extension cord, but a bag of thumbtacks evened the score and soon MASADA's back was covered in them!
The hardcore hi light of the match had to of been the spot that saw both men get cookie sheets. The Joker was able to get a hold of both and pummeled MASADA mercilessly with them again and again and again! MASADA somehow grabbed them himself and got a few hits in before Joker took them again and nearly finished MASADA off.
They went back and forth in the ring with big moves until MASADA came back with a power bomb from no where! He hit a frog splash and followed it with the MASADAMIZER to get the 1, 2, 3 and advance in the Tournament of Death!

Drake Younger vs. Danny Havoc
Drake Younger defeated Danny Havoc with a DRAKE'S LANDING at 20:30
Match Rating: 3.75
Match Notes: This was a hardcore war. Whoever the winner is they won't be in good shape for the next match in ToD.
Younger controlled a portion of the bout after an earlier see saw battle. Havoc came roaring back after tossing Younger from the top! He hit two GENERAL ORDER 24s in a row, before taking things to the fans and going hog wild with weapons!
Havoc brutalized Younger, but when he attempted a power bomb on some thumbtacks, Younger body dropped him for his troubles.
Younger pressed his advantage and soon both men were a bloody mess. A cheese grater, a bowling ball, a plunger, a staple gun, and even more tacks!
The finish saw Younger take it back outside and hit a power bomb in the aforementioned tacks. Back inside he hit DRAKE'S LANDING and put Havoc away to advance, but at what cost?

DJ Hyde vs. Greg Excellent
Greg Excellent defeated DJ Hyde with a TIGER DRIVER through a table at 9:22
Match Rating: 3.00
Match Notes: These two brutalized one another in an all out brawl that saw little wrestling, but that was to be expected.
Both men were bleeding quickly and it was anybody's game as there were kickouts for both.
Eventually, Excellent came off the turnbuckle with a hard hitting STO and then followed it with a TIGER DRIVER through a table!
Greg Excellent scored what some may consider an upset to move on in the ToD.

Matt Tremont vs. Necro Butcher
Matt Tremont defeated Necro Butcher with a powerbomb at 6:24
Match Rating: 2.25
Match Notes: Necro Butcher may have been a favorite going into this, but someone forgot to tell Matt Tremont!
He attacked Butcher with a fork early on and it was clear that Tremont came to the ToD with one thing in mind. He brutalized Butcher with his signature moves and finishers, before ever tumbling to the outside.
Tremont used a cookie sheet, but Butcher mounted a comeback with a cookie sheet of his own.
Tremont came back from being hit with a light tube and slammed Butcher with a chairshot heard throughout the building. Back inside there was a powerbomb from Tremont to score a big win and move on relatively unscathed for the next round.

MASADA vs. Drake Younger
MASADA defeated Drake Younger with a RAINING BLOOD at 15:18
Match Rating: 3.50
Match Notes: MASADA comes into the match only slightly bandaged, tho it looked like the medical staff backstage may have missed a thumbtack or two...
Younger, however, is beat up big time. His forehead is heavily bandaged and his right arm and and back are covered with cuts and bandages as well.
He and Danny Havoc went all in trying to put one another away while MASADA was able to deal out most of the punishment in his opening round bout.
Drake Younger took inhuman amounts of punishment beginning with a MASADAMIZER early on. MASADA would then brutalize him by putting him through a pane of glass! Younger was a mess and MASADA did not let up... But the story became Younger's resilience. He came back from disgusting and brutal hardcore acts on the outside. Glass, thumbtacks, tables, chairs, and a barbed wire!
Mercy was finally delivered after RAINING BLOOD from MASADA. Younger had to be taken to the hospital immediately following this bout. He's going to have some new scars to add to his body.
MASADA has made it to the finals of the ToD.

Greg Excellent vs. Matt Tremont
Matt Tremont defeated Greg Excellent with a powerbomb at 7:51
Match Rating: 3.00
Match Notes: Another gory hardcore war was fought here with very little wrestling involved.
Tremont tried to put Excellent away early with a URANAGE, but Excellent came to fight and things quickly got hardcore.
A pair of barbed wire boards were heavily involved in the match and both men tasted the flesh-shredding metal multiple times.
The finish came shortly after both men fell into the tangled web from a ladder. They were messes and it looked like Excellent would pull it out, but Tremont came up with a powerbomb from no where to end the match and advance to the finals against MASADA!
Will he have enough in the Cage of Death?
Switchblade Conspiracy vs. Briscoe Brothers
Sami Callihan defeated Mark Briscoe with a STRETCH MUFFLER at 7:19
Match Rating: 2.50
Match Notes: This burgeoning feud has it's seeds over in EVOLVE, but it's already made it's impact felt in CHIKARA and now the Open the United Gate champs accept a challenge from the Switchblade Conspiracy in a non-title featured bout here at CZW's Tournament of Death!
Callihan and Mark Brisoce start things off and Callihan is able to take control.
He and Moxley brutalize him and nearly score a pinfall, but Jay comes in and a huge brawl explodes between all four! The ref nearly calls a no contest, but restores order just as Jay and Mark hit a double team neckbreaker on Moxley!
Callihan makes a save, tho and Mark is back in a bad way! Callihan is able to apply a STRETCH MUFFLER and Moxley cuts off Jay! Mark taps as Moxley puts Jay through a ringside table!
Callihan won't break the hold! Mark is in extreme pain! You can almost here his muscles tearing as Callihan keeps the hold applied...
Refs and officials come out to finally break it up, but the damage is done as Mark Briscoe has to be taken to the hospital!
(It's announced later that he'll miss about 4 weeks of action due to injuries!)

MASADA vs. Matt Tremont
for the Tournament of Death
MASADA defeated Matt Tremont with a MASADAMIZER at 26:12
Match Rating: 4.00
Match Notes: This was death match wrestling at it's best. It built to the big spots, it went back and forth, it wasn't just about the gimmick, but the gimmicks were not ignored and when they came it was brutal.
Light tubes, glass, barbed wire, the cage, chairs. All came into play in sometimes horrific fashion.
Tremont was the first to score with the bloodletting and MASADA was reacquainted with thumbtacks.
MASADA, tho would score back by body dropping Tremont through a pane of glass!!
Both men were bloody gory messes after the 10 minute mark and we weren't even half way through the bout!
There was lots of brawling, but they also pulled out some big moves here and there. MASADA kept kicking out even after the URANAGE!
It looked like MASADA would have it, but then Tremont would come back, and then MASADA would battle back!
The finish saw MASADA wrap his boot in barbed wire and then hit a running kick to the corner! A tombstone piledriver was followed up with a power bomb through the glass!!!
MASADAMIZER!!!! 1... 2... 3!!
MASADA wins the Tournament of Death!
