The latest edition of the monthly Combat Zone Wrestling PPV series from Stonecutter Media is Best of Cage of Death, featuring two bouts taking place inside CZW’s signature yellow and black structure of destruction.
MATT TREMONT VS. JOEY JANELA
This bout is from May 2017.
They announce the only way to win is pinfall, submission or death. Glad we made this clear!
They locked up and Tremont immediately beat Janela with right hands. Janela was sent into the ropes but caught him with a clothesline, then rained down with a series of right hands. Janela pointed to the cage and ran Tremont into the steel cage. He repeated the feat several times, busting open Tremont. Tremont is run into the cage over and over.
Tremont made a comeback and began beating down Janela. He ran Janela hard into the cage and he crumbled down to the mat. Tremont pulled a barbed wire board into the ring and set it up in the corner of the ring. Tremont chewed on Janela’s face and went for a DVDR into the board but Janela slipped out. Janela charged but ate a stiff lariat.
Janela fired back, flinging a chair at Tremont’s face. Janela flipped off the chair, cannonballing Tremont backwards into the barbed wire board in the corner, crashing through it. Janela turned the board over and turned it atop of Tremont, then splashed the board, splitting it in half. So, each of them felt the power of the barbed wire and didn’t like it. Janela covered Tremont for a two count.
Janela placed a chair around Tremont’s head and trapped him with it, using the chair as a vice. He pulled the chair off and smashed it over Tremont’s back. Janela continued to beat on Tremont and called for a pane of glass to be brought into the ring. Janela set it up in the corner with the announcers noting Tremont once speared him through a pane months ago and this might be his chance for revenge.
Stockade and several others hit the ringside area, trying to get in but Janela’s allies made the save and they brawled all over ringside. G-Raver and Cannonball brawled to the top of the cage. Inside the cage, Janela ripped at Tremont’s face. Raver was knocked off the cage with a headbutt and crashed into a table below. Tremont was sent into the pane of glass but still kicked up when Janela covered him for the two count.
Janela superkicked Tremont in the face and grabbed another chair. He set up several chairs together in a row, facing away from the other. I am guessing this will not be leading to a game of Musical Chairs. Janela worked over Tremont in the corner and placed him atop the ropes, so they are above those chairs. Tremont gained control and nailed a DVDR off the top through them. OUCH.
Somehow, Janela kicked out. How? Why? Beats me!
A table was brought into the cage. Janela tried to fight back and was successful, placing Tremont on the table. He scaled to the top of the cage and nailed a swanton through the table on Tremont. Janela covered him but Tremont somehow kicked up. They fought to their feet and exchanged punches. Janela finally got the better of the exchange and took down Tremont.
Janela grabbed a bucket and poured out a ton of thumbtacks into the ring. He went for a move but it was prevented and Tremont nailed a sit-down powerbomb into the tacks. Janela exploded upwards in pain but was caught and slammed down into the tacks again but kicked up. Tremor grabbed him by the hair but Janela stuck a middle finger in his face.
Tremont nailed a DVDR on the tacks and pinned him.
Your winner, Matt Tremont!
Just a brutal back and forth brawl.
Cage of Death: CZW champion Rickey Shane Page vs. Shane Strickland vs. Joe Gacy
Inside the Cage of Death are a number of weapons. Atop the Cage is a wooden bridge and a second one that appears to have some glass inside of it.
Everyone battled. Strickland was tossed hard into a pane of glass. Gacy broke a light tube collection over Page's shoulder. Gacy superkicked Strickland and worked him over with forearm smashes before hitting a Beel Throw into plexiglass that was propped up in the corner. Gacy continued to control the ring and pulled out an electric meat slicer, using it on Strickland and Page's foreheads. Gacy poured tacks (I think) in the center of the ring but Page nailed him with a light tube. Page and Strickland nailed a double hiptoss into the tacks.
Page and Strickland battled with Page peppering him with forearms. Page set up a barbed wire board across several chairs in the senter of the ring. He tossed Gacy into the cage. Strickland and Page crawled to the top of the cage and met in the center of the bridge. They battled with Strickland getting the worst of the exchange. Strickland hit a Side Russian legsweep off the bridge through the second bridge (which had glass inside of it) and they crashed through to the barbed wire board below. Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. They are crazy.
Gacy pulled several light tubes into the ring. They all beat the hell out of each other with the tubes. The crowd chanted "CZW" and went nuts for this. They finally all hit each other at the same time. At some point, four chairs connected were hung from the bridge and they took turns running each other into them. That was different. Strickland set up another piece of Plexiglass across several chairs. Page was underneath. Strickland came off the top with a big double stomp through the glass, which got a massive pop but Gacy attacked and broke up the pinfall. He nailed a piledriver on Strickland and scored a two count.
Page returned and nailed Gacy, then sent him flying into the cage over and over. Page set up another pain of glass and poured lighter fluid over it. Gacy attacked him before it could be set aflame. He lit it himself butJ Hye Page grabbed him and chokeslammed him through it. Dan Barry tried to get in the cage to assist Gacy but was hit with a big boot by Shane. A bunch of masked men all tried tp climb the cage to help Gacy but Page and Strickland nailed them with chairs as they climbed up. One made it through but was beaten and slammed through a pane of glass.
Music began playing and out came a female masked woman who attacked Dan Barry as he was climbing the cage and hit a Russian Legsweep off of it, down onto all the other masked men below.
The battle continued with Page and Gacy on top of the bridge. Another masked man grabbed Gacy and pulled him off, where he crashed down through a table to the floor. He unmasked to reveal Anthony Gangone from the NYC indy scene.
Page returned to the ring, where he faced off with Strickland. They exchanged forearms and strikes and kicks. Strickland hit a knee into Page, smashing light tubes. Another pane of glass was set up. They battled to the top where Page hit a reverse frankensteiner off the top through the glass and scored the pin.
Your winner and still CZW champion Ricky Shane Page!
It was insanity. People knew what they were getting here and well, they got it. If you over the PPV, so will you!
