![]() He says, "OH! BJW!!!" I said, "Yes, I just bought it." He then says, "Sign?" I said, "Yes, please!" So, he opens it up for me and signed it for me. He wasn't wearing a shirt and man, his body is scarred up! He looks as me and sees that I'm holding the BJW DVD. I bought a TOD 9 shirt and he was selling some of his old shirt that he was mostly just looking to get rid of for $15.I got myself a "Sick" Nick Mondo one.I couldn't pass that up! I figure I'll wear it to some "family" show and make fun of some 8 year old in a John Cena shirt.HAHA!! Just kidding!!! Anyway, after I bought the shirts, I look over and here comes Abdullah Kobayashi lumbering towards the table. The first thing that caught my eye was they were selling a BJW DVD! It cost $35 and everything on it was written in Japanese, but I didn't care and that sucker was MINE!!! Ha ha!!! Then, the guy from Brutal Butcher Shoppe (who's making CZW's shirts now) was setting up his stuff. So, I went over there to see what was going on. They weren't letting people into that area yet, but they had the merch table and concession stand set up. I park the car out in the back field and started walking up to where the ring was set up. I drove down the country roads and got to the place and was one of the first. and saw DJ Hyde himself hanging a cardboard sign that said "CZW" with an arrow onto a telephone pole. When I got there, I was driving past Main St. To get to the field, you have to drive through the center of Townsend (which is a town about the size of Haubstaut, IN). I left early since I had heard there was going to be quite a crowd. There were a couple of not-so-great matches and a couple of really great ones, but by far the highlight of the entire day was Abdullah Kobayashi!! What an awesome, insane, silly, respectful, gracious and just downright COOL guy he is!!!!!!! The winner of the whole tournament was a total surprise to me, but someone who more-than-deserves it!Īfter making the trip up to Delaware on Friday, Saturday afternoon, I made the trip down to Townsend to go hang out with my blood-thirsty brethren at DJ Hyde's parent's backyard. I wouldn't go so far as to say it was better than last year's, but I did enjoy it. I doubt that'll happen though because of how banged up Zandig's body is these days.I don't see him working three deathmatches in one day.Īnyway, I plan on going back to NYC on Sunday and so I won't be back home until late Monday/early Tuesday, but at some point next week, I'll write a review/report of the show and try to post whatever pictures I take.Īs usual with reports of these shows, I'm doing this on little sleep, but I wanted to share my thoughts while they are still somewhat fresh in my head. And then I've even heard some people say that Zandig might go to the finals since this isn't "his" tournament anymore, since he doesn't own CZW anymore. I've also heard some say that Masada might go to the finals, which would be cool because he's awesome. It seems as though he's been winning all the deathmatch tournaments lately, deservedly so. As for who he'll face in the finals, my best guess would be J.C. I've heard that one of the deals for getting anyone from Big Japan Wrestling to work these shows is that the wrester has to be booked to have a good showing, which is why BJW guys always go at least to the finals of these tournaments. I think it's a fair bet to say that Kobayashi will be in the finals. Ultraviolent Tag Team Deathmatch - Fans Bring the Weapons -ĭJ HYDE and GREG EXCELLENT vs. "Havoc's Happyland" - Lighttube Bundles and Structures "Weapons of Mass Destruction" - Kenzans and More! Here's the first round matches and the non-tournament matches they have planned: I think that number is a bit inflated (I'd have put it more in the 500 range), but if they really did have 800 last time, I'm thinking they might break 1000 this time because I've read a lot of reports of people saying they're bringing people who have never been to a TOD before.man, are THEY gonna in for a surprise! Ha ha!!! ![]() ![]() Last year, there were reports of 800 people at the show. I've read reports of people traveling from places such as Michigan, Ohio, Virginia, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Canada, Japan (I'm sure Yuki, who comes over here for all the big deathmatch tournaments, will be there.super cool guy, by the way!) and even some goof from Indiana are planning to be in the field behind DJ Hyde's parent's house on Saturday. ![]() From searching around on the message boards, this show looks to be one of the biggest in CZW's history. This time tomorrow, I'll be out on the open road, heading up to Delaware for TOD 9.
