Combat Zone Wrestling Est. 1999

CZW Fifth Anniversary Show February 7th 2004 £9
Having outlived XPW, CZW is now closing in on the life expectancy set by ECW - not bad going, if I say so myself.

CZW Cage of Death V December 13th 2003 £9
Combat Zone Wrestling's fifth annual War Games-inspired festival of mentalism. The main event makes use of a ring full of weapons, another ring with 1,000,000 thumb tacks, and a steel cage - with a scaffold looming over it. Blimey. Cage of Death music video… Jude & Niles Young vs Jon Dahmer & Cory Kastle vs Jamie Samuels & DJ Hyde… Shun the Kabuki Kid vs GQ vs Rick Feinberg vs Krystian Wolf… Dirty Rotten Scoundrelz vs Nick Berk & Z-Barr vs Greg Matthews & Rockin' Rebel… Jimmy Jacobs vs Sabian vs.Derek Frazier… Trent Acid vs Jimmy Rave (CZW Iron Man Title Match)… B-Boy vs Alex Shelley vs Chris Hero… Joker vs Chris Cash (ladder match)… Sonjay Dutt vs Ruckus… Cage of Death Match: Team Ultraviolence (New Jack, John Zandig, Lobo, Nick Gage, Ian Knoxx & Wifebeater) vs HI-V (Adam Flash, Nate Hatred, Trent Acid, Johnny Kashmere, Messiah & B-Boy)

CZW Tournament of Death II July 6th 2003 £9
One of the best tournaments of this kind held in the US, pitting Zandig's CZW mob against a team from Ian Rotten's IWA Mid-South. The fact that it isn't billed as 'Yet Another King of the Death Matches Tournament' reflects the fact that this isn't exactly sadism-by-numbers.

CZW Extreme Invasion January 20th - April 4th 2001 £7
Within days of ECW's demise, many of the group's alumni (including Yoshihiro Tajiri, Super Crazy, Mikey Whipwreck, Balls Mahoney and Tommy Dreamer) bypassed the dole queue and began the 'Extreme Invasion' of CZW. All of the feud's best moments are compiled here. Refreshingly, few of the former ECW workers remained with Combat Zone after the angle ran its course. How about that: finality. Super Crazy vs Ric Blade… Justice Pain vs Yoshihiro Tajiri… Super Crazy vs Yoshihiro Tajiri… Super Crazy vs Ric Blade vs Nick Mondo… Justice Pain vs Yoshihiro Tajiri (Mikey Whipwreck's CZW debut)… Balls Mahoney vs Wifebeater… Ric Blade vs Nick Mondo (finish only - Tajiri runs interference)… Nick Berk vs Yoshihiro Tajiri (Tajiri wins CZW Heavyweight Title - and immediately loses it to John Zandig)… John Zandig/Tommy Dreamer brawl… Tommy Dreamer vs John Zandig (barbed wire match)

CZW Worldwide Ultraviolence 2000 - 2001 £7
While Combat Zone's trips to Japan have become regular and notorious, the group's outings to Mexico, England and Ireland have been less well publicised.

For starters, this one features tables, staple guns and garden strimmers - and those are just the stipulated weapons. On the undercard, Charlie Haas and his late brother Russ go after the Combat Zone tag titles. Nick Berk & Ty Street vs Kashmerino Brothers… Trent Acid vs White Lotus… Dewey Donovan (referee) angle… Madman Pondo vs Match Page (staple gun match)… Hit Squad/Thrill Kill Kult angle… Russ & Charlie Haas vs Shane Brothers (CZW Tag Team Title Match)… John Zandig vs John Kronus (CZW Heavyweight Title - weedwhacker match)… Lobo vs Wifebeater (CZW Ironman Title - ultraviolent tables match)

CZW Streetfight '99 July 19th 1999 £7
Combat Zone occasionally hosted chants of 'ECW Sucks' in its early days, but there's no doubt where the inspiration for CZW's mix of plasma-soaked main events and high-flying undercards came from. Quantum vs Eclipse… Ric Blade vs Justice Pain (CZW Junior Heavyweight Title Match)… Bodybag vs Hammer vs Lord Everett Devore… Jon Dahmer & Midnight vs The King Pinz vs Extreme Farenheit (CZW Tag Team Title Match)… Trent Acid & Sensational One vs White Lotus & Johnny Kashmere… Lobo vs Justice Pain (CZW Hardcore Title - barbed wire dog collar match)… John Zandig vs Nick Gage (streetfight)
