I remember hearing that at some shows that weren't CZW related they would take down Zandig's banner at the Arena.

I don't get the hype for shynron. I like spot monkeys, but dude wrestles like a video game. And he has so much wasted movement.

Yeah I was impressed with him early on and had a good feud with AR Fox in Beyond Wrestling. Now I'm no so much into him since he seemingly doesn't really know how to string together a match and just does movements with no context to them.

I should re-watch the last CoD Zandig was involved in. It was an amazing construction like a see through house of horrors. Featured Zandig hucking EVERYONE off the top of the cage.

Cage of Death 10 was such a mess of a match. Funniest part (other than the explosions not going off...well hell everything else about it) was that Zandig claims that he wasn't meant to win the match.

It's another New Jersey promotion that sounds pretty fun. I don't know who runs it but they have some names on it and do deathmatches on occasion. There was a match between Joey Janela and Joe Gacy at one of their shows that was running at some outdoor concert and Joey fell through a portal potty he was on top of that Jake the Snake was in. This was the same promotion too that had the Nick Gage invitational when he got arrested a few days before it.

Beyond Wrestling and Evolve are doing a double header in Melrose, MA on 7/17. The Evolve show that was suppose to be in Wakefield on the 15th got cancelled due to building issues and moved it to the 17th. Anyone that bought tickets will be honored for the 17th or you can get a full refund.

Also Beyond Wrestling's Americarana '16 will be in Providence RI back at Fete Music on July 31st.

Didn't Beyond have some big dramatic falling out with the Fete venue a while back? Kind of strange that they're already back in the building a few months later.

The promoter Drew did an all women's wrestling show back in April there and maybe smoothed things over? I know attendance kinda dropped at the end of 2015 so they started doing shows at the Aurora since it's a smaller venue and I think just about every show they did there has sold out. Every show in Boston has sold out too but the venue is not usually available for them on the last Sunday of the month until recently since the owners liked what they saw.

How was the TOD?

Better than last years. I very much enjoyed it and think it's worth checking out if you like deathmatches.

Few notes:

The tournament had good pacing as far as the stipulations go.
Masada actually tried.
Newcomer Jeff Cannonball had a fun debut.
Alex Colon has a death wish.
The non tournament matches weren't total poo poo. Specially the Deej/Zandig story line which was hilarious. (though the CZWStudios version left out the Rockstar Pro showcase which is fine since I heard it wasn't good)
The finals were brutal and Ricky Shane Page is an insane person.
Emil Jay, the commentator, get's progressively drunker and it's fantastic.

If you want a free month of the CZWStudios use the coupon code PWPFREECZW.

To be fair it's just for a festival not a full show. Easier to just get 4 guys to put on 7 matches against each other. Plus those guys are pretty much best friends so it could be very good.

Finding a venue in the LA area that a) can seat a lot of people, b) has the ability to sell alcohol, and c) doesn't charge insane rates for rent is easier said than done. They ran a larger venue than the legion hall for the last Kurt Russellreunion which was what... four years ago now? Obviously PWG is dramatically more popular now than back then, but the rumor I heard was that Super Dragon wasn't happy with how the atmosphere of the building came across on tape so they scrapped it and went back to Reseda.

Whatever gym that was that held BOLA 2008 was nice and big... but the acoustics bounced sound like crazy where you couldn't hear anything when someone was on the mic. The Legion is hot as hell but the acoustics are very good in person and on DVD.

I don't know anything about Team Pazuzu so I looked them up. Apparently their t-shirt says "Born to Rape the World" on it and I have to wonder who would ever wear that outside.

They've since got rid of that... That was from a few years ago. It was also the name of Dickinson's best of dvd on it's first run but was renamed to Born to Rule the World.
