Wrestler seriously injured in light tube accident
Nick Gage suffered a serious injury, reported as severing a main artery when taking a bump on a light tube that resulted in him being sliced on his side from armpit to hip. He was airlifted by helicopter to a hospital where he was rushed into the operating room.

Gage never passed out, but was losing a sick amount of blood which didn't let up, in Combat Zone Wrestling's annual Tournament of Death, held in a makeshift setting in the backyard of wrestler D.J. Hyde's parents house in Delaware. The injury took place in the tournament finals, a light tube death match against Thumbtack Jack.

When Gage was injured, he ran to the back in a panic. Nobody knew what to do, and the wrestlers got into the ring and had an impromptu Battle Royal. Zandig threw out a few people, and even though there were plenty of wrestlers left, it was stopped and ruled Zandig as the winner of the tournament that he wasn't in to begin with.

The crowd of about 250 fans were not allowed to leave the area until an hour after the show, because there was only one way out and they didn't want to block if the ambulance was needed to get him out.



I'm surprised it took this long for someone to get seriously hurt over these light tube to be honest.

I wouldn't expect anything less from Thumbtack Jack.

lol in the backyard of dj hyde's parents house.

I heard his intestines were falling out, and he had to hold them in with his arm. :eek:

Where's the kid shooting for CZW at now?

Holy shit this is fucking vile.

I mean, CZW still exists? What kind of just and loving God would allow that?!

Where's the video, I wanna see

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Yeah that's CZW alright

LOL Allegedly Gage went to the back and wanted to work the match after getting checked out

Yeah, he's definitely hardcore.

:y:

Also, 250 fans?! I don't know who the bigger marks are, the people in the crowd or the workers themselves

Had I only ever been a casual fan I might have actualy thought this was a pisstake it sounds so ridiculous.




However as i know the vile steaming donkey turd that is CZW exists I laughed.

Where is Sadistic when we need him? He was always good for a laugh.

Why is this backyard garbage publicized? Knowing them, they'll publicize this as the "BLOODIEST MATCH EVER" and double their sales to 4 burnt dvds labeled with a sharpie.

oh thats it , im defiantly getting the TOD dvd now

Yeah I wanna see this!!!

I hope it was worth it in front of 250 people.

reports have come in and nick "fucking" gage is doing great, i remember 1 TOD when they sprayed lighter fluid on top of a sheet of glass and nick gage was supposed to suplex...erm i cant remember who, but anyway nick suplexes him and hist the brunt of the flaming glass sheet, and as anyone will tell you lighter fluid doesn't absorb into glass like it does with tables, so when he hits the table the lighter fluid flies up into the air and all over nick gage, he stood up and ran frantically trying to put the fire out, it was about 2 or 3 minutes before the fire was out, and his back was burnt to a crisp


i fucking love death match wrestling

ahh i seem to have found it, enjoy

lol this retard

I hope he dies

I'm not going to go the RP route but I was disappointed to find out that he's "doing great." That basically just means that neither he nor anyone else is likely to learn from this experience.

shit happens

and light tubes + wrestling = win

If by win you mean a jackass nearly eviscerating himself, then yeah, we're on the same page here.

Good, let them try it again. The quicker people like this are out of the gene pool the better.

no

NOBODY could've saw this coming!

I do not feel sorry for him.

At all.

Ditto.

I can enjoy a good "extreme" match when I know the participants aren't reckless to the point that the spot is more important than safety. Something like Edge/Foley, they took the right precautions at all points. Then again, Foley knows what he's doing in this type of match.

Maybe I'm a huge pussy, but I can't enjoy a match that comes off unsafe for the sake of being unsafe.

THIS IS THE GREATEST NIGHT IN THE HISTORY OF OUR SPORT!

What, that CZW has finally been made to look like retards? All this proves now is that we have undisputed video proof that these guys don't have any controll over their "wrestling" (HA!) product.

Next year, the "Tournament of Death" is gonna end in a real Death, and Zandig is gonna win again.

I'm sure if the media gets ahold of this they'll somehow blame it on Vince. They always find some way to make McMahon look like some evil blood thirsty madman that wants all wrestlers to be drugged up sadomasochists.

That's the point. Edge/Foley was in a controlled environment where they know what the hell they are doing and can perform the extreme spot properly, NOT in some dumbasses backyard where there is a greater risk of serious injury and/or possible death. I wonder if the CZW marks from the fat kids moms' basement are gonna make another "shoot" video saying how "hardcore" CZW is. :roll:

Sadistic passed out today, having suffered an erection lasting more than four hours.

Tony Schiavone reached a new low by announcing for CZW?! :eek:


























:shifty:

dumbasses deserve all the injuries they get... THIS IS NOT WRESTLING!!!

Kareru, that is not wrestling. It is garbage.

Get your terminology straight.

I think we can all agree that the story should have read:

"Retard seriously injured at CZW show. In other news, the sky is blue."

If I was wrestling infront of 250 people I wouldn't even take a chair shot.

Wasn't there another promotion similar to this that did stupid shit like this all the time? XWF or something?

Jesus Christ what an idiot. In front of 250 people. FOR 250 PEOPLE. Let's call a spade a spade, this isn't hardcore wrestling, it's GARBAGE Wrestling. These idiots are beating the shit out of each other for absolutely nothing. What was the Jim Cornette quote from his latest commentary? Something like, "Years ago we used to pretend to hurt each other and the fans thought it was real, now we legit hurt each other and the fans think it's fake? Who are the marks now?"

Nic Gage, or Cage, or whatever his name is can keep mutilating himself for all I care. He'll be less remembered than TL Hopper. Give me a fucking break.

Not only that, but the bumps Foley took actually meant something. They served a purpose in the story he and the guy he was working with were trying to tell. The shit is on par to me and you, owenbrown, getting a bunch of friends together and letting them watch us kick the shit out of each other with sale items from the local hardware store.

I don't care if you're doing this in front of 250 people in your Mom's back yard or doing it in front of thousands at MSG and millions on PPV, the kind of "wrestling" they do is utter shite. Period.

Agreed. We shouldn't call it wrestling though, not even "wrestling". It's garbage.

you're such wrestling snobs

sure i like the scientific/technical match but i also love seeing guys almost bleed to death after being put through a flaming glass table.

czw isnt always about the death match they actually have some competent technical wrestlers and high fliers.

They tried to say he was going to go easy on him as well. He proved the doubters wrong.

Really feel like invading the CZW message board and their "get well soon" thread for this idiot.

I wouldn't take an armbar.

Fucking Rob Warrior Hawk.

or Harvey

lol

from czwfans. made me laugh

Nick Gage doesn't know a wrist lock from a wrist watch.










Oh yeah, I said it.

oh no he di'ent

I wrestled in front of 205 people on the weekend and took chops, I feel like I should now be ashamed of myself

On the upside it wasn't in someone's back gardern

Nick Gage? Is that you?

You elitist swine who don't watch men like Nick Gage spill his blood on a trampoline on top of fluorescent lights are killing the backyard wrestling business.

come on

you either get hardcore wrestlers that get hit with light tubes to bleed

or you get emo wrestlers using razor blades


i'd rather have the light tubes to be honest

There was a point where I really enjoyed the non "ultra violent" stuff czw did. They really fell off post Mike Burns. If they completely took out everything over the top they could still be a decent fed for guys to get a start.

It really pisses me off that CZW paid way more attention to the death match dudes. They always had some of the most insanely fun jr. heavyweight matches I've seen. Alex Shelley ran that division in 2004.

oh shit, i used to watch the wrestling channel all the time, i cry now thinking of what happened to it

I really wanna digout cage of death 6 and upload that match. It was seriously one of the craziest spotfests I've ever seen. It's no technical master piece but it's just really exciting to watch once in awhile.

plus the hype video for it is incredible

lol i watched it last night

Don't watch the last match. its so fucking pointless. like its 25 minutes of guys just hitting each other with shit. Then it ends with 2 guys both turning on their partners. It made the match matter even less than it did before.

ya its not bad for amateur
