Down With the Sickness 2011
Then the main show, the Chri$ Ca$h Memorial, “Down With The Sickness 2011” began. The CZW locker room came out to remember Chris Ca$h and the recently departed Pennsylvania State Commissioner Frank Talent with a ten bell count.
DJ Hyde then turns to Sami Callihan, who he says is “too injured” to appear (translated: is working tonight for Dragon Gate USA)…talks trash at Callihan…then the lights go out…Callihan’s music plays…here comes a guy with his head down doing all Callihan’s trademark poses…Adam Cole, doing a hilarious Sami Callihan parody, finishing up by saying how he “knows the dentiny is always to be second fiddle to DJ Hyde and the greatest Junior Heavyweight Champion of all time, Adam Cole”. Then…out comes Greg Excellent to accept the open challenge for Adam Cole
The finish saw MASADA set up the ladder under the CZW Ultraviolent Underground Title, get stopped, then dropped Ito onto one of the broken ladders. MASADA climbs the ladder grabbed the CZW Ultraviolent Undergound belt to retain that belt. He then set up the ladder under the BJW Heavyweight Deathmatch Title. MASADA climbed the ladder…followed by Ito coming up after him…knocking MASADA off the the top of the ladder. Ito then ignores his own belt, grabbed the girders on top of the Arena to steady himself, then splashes MASADA from the top of the ladder. he then went back up the ladder and grabbed his BJW Death Match Title .
It tells you something about the chaos and violence in the match that no one booed with what was, in essence, a draw. DJ Hyde came out and said “normally, I’d call that a bullshit finish…except for the match itself”, then put over both wrestlers.
Ryuji Ito announced first in Japanese to the fans watching on Japan’s Samurai TV, followed by CZW owner DJ Hyde translating to end the evening with a major announcement…that Cage of Death 13, which takes place on December 3 (not the traditional second Saturday),will be special for one more reason…it’ll be the finale of a great Japanese wrestling weekend at the ECW Arena, after CHIKARA’s JoshiMania takes place Friday, December 2….as Cage of Death 13, will be a CZW joint event with Big Japan Wrestling, K-DOJO, and Freedoms!
Next month, Combat Zone Wrestling returns on FRIDAY, October 7 (NOTE: date change) at the Arena with the returning Brain Damage taking on “Bulldozer” Matt Tremont
