On June 9th, 2018, Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW) presented their annual "Tournament of Death" event in Berlin, New Jersey. The highly anticipated event featured some of the biggest and most hardcore names in CZW, including Masada, Rickey Shane Page, Conor Claxton, and many more.
The "Tournament of Death" is known for its extreme and brutal style of wrestling, featuring deathmatches and other hardcore stipulations. This year's event was no different, with multiple matches taking place in the hazardous "Combat Zone" area, surrounded by barbed wire, glass, and other dangerous objects.
The event kicked off with a four-way "Panes of Glass" match, featuring Conor Claxton, Dale Patricks, Brandon Kirk, and Kit Osbourne. The competitors battled it out in and around a ring surrounded by sheets of glass, with the goal of smashing their opponents through the shards. The match was a gruesome display of hardcore wrestling, with each competitor suffering cuts and bruises as they fought to be the last man standing.
Next up was a "Four Corners of Pain" match, featuring Jimmy Lloyd, Casanova Valentine, G-Raver, and John Wayne Murdoch. The match took place in the "Combat Zone," with each corner of the ring featuring a different dangerous object - barbed wire, light tubes, cinderblocks, and thumbtacks. The competitors did not hold back, using the weapons to their advantage as they fought for a chance at the "Tournament of Death" trophy.
The third match of the night was a "Fans Bring the Weapons" contest, pitting CZW veteran Masada against up-and-comer Alex Colon. As the name suggests, the fans in attendance were encouraged to bring their own weapons, which were then placed in a pile outside the ring for the wrestlers to use. The match was a bloody affair, with both Masada and Colon suffering serious injuries as they battled it out using everything from chairs to cheese graters.
The main event of the night was the "Tournament of Death" itself, featuring a four-man elimination tournament with Rickey Shane Page, Alex Colon, Jimmy Lloyd, and Conor Claxton. The tournament featured some of the most brutal deathmatches in CZW history, including a "No Rope Barbed Wire" match and a "Light Tube Ropes" match.
The final match of the night saw Rickey Shane Page and Alex Colon facing off in a "Panama City Deathmatch," which featured exploding light tubes and other dangerous weapons. The two competitors pushed themselves to the limit, with both men suffering serious injuries as they fought for the "Tournament of Death" trophy.
Overall, the 17th annual "Tournament of Death" was a thrilling and brutal event that showcased some of the best hardcore wrestling in the world. The competitors put their bodies on the line in the name of entertainment, and the fans in attendance were treated to a night they will never forget.
