Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW) is an American independent professional wrestling promotion, known for its hardcore wrestling style and deathmatch tournaments. Established in 1999, the promotion has gained a cult following among fans who are drawn to the extreme nature of the matches.
CZW is based in New Jersey and has held events all over the United States, as well as in Canada and Europe. The promotion has featured some of the biggest names in wrestling, including Jon Moxley (formerly known as Dean Ambrose in WWE), Sami Callihan, and Drew Gulak.
At CZW events, you can expect to see bloody and brutal matches that often involve barbed wire, light tubes, and other weapons. The promotion also holds deathmatch tournaments, where wrestlers compete in matches that have no disqualifications or countouts, and the only way to win is to knock out your opponent, force them to submit, or incapacitate them to the point where they cannot continue.
In addition to the hardcore matches, CZW also has a strong emphasis on traditional wrestling, with technical and high-flying matches also being featured on the card.
CZW has a reputation for pushing the limits of what is acceptable in professional wrestling, and the promotion has been the subject of controversy over the years. Critics have accused CZW of promoting violence and gore, and there have been concerns raised over the safety of the wrestlers.
Despite this, CZW has a loyal fanbase who appreciate the intensity and spectacle of the promotion's matches. The promotion has also been praised for providing a platform for wrestlers who may not fit into the more mainstream wrestling promotions, allowing them to showcase their unique talents and gain exposure.
Overall, CZW is not for the faint of heart, but for fans of hardcore wrestling, it offers a thrilling and unforgettable experience.
