Who is this Nick Mondo guy, and why do we care
 

I refuse to read the topics about him because they look long. I just want the short and skinny of it.

The short and skinny: No-one cares.

We took shots at him and CZW primarily to get a rise out of Sadistic. Now that he's gone, obody'll mention him again, most likely.

trained by Al Snow

Flamed by TPWW

Retired because of injuries and now works at Blockbusters because


(he's actually dating this Rain chick. She's alright. I'll go post her pic)

CZW sucks with or without Sadistic. But I wouldn't give them shit if Sadistic wasn't such a mark.

Al Snow hasn't trained any one good.

Sadistic got banned? :'( But now where will my entertainment come from?

Sadistic said he's leaving, and will delete his posts tomorrow.

Oh, nevermind. He just got even more retarded. :lol:

The gist is that Nick Mondo is a "wrestler" (using the term loosely) who worked for a promotion called Combat Zone Wrestling. Basically, CZW markets itself as a hardcore promotion, and their most famous matches typically involve people smashing each other in the heads with various objects (lightbulb tubes, etc.)

Mondo became a "star" with CZW because he could get hit in the head and bleed a lot. Sort of like Mick Foley but without the psychology.

The big reason he became a big thing here was because Sadistic was/is a CZW mark, so the Mondo-bashing started as a way to get a rise out of him. You know TPWW and n00b bashing...

To be fair, I rarely think of Foley as hardcore. He may have done deathmatches, but he was a legit wrestler in multiple promotions.

Hey, wasn't Mondo the name of some sort of drink back in the day? I remember drinking something called Mondo....it was grape....

I was looking at this photography website and saw pictures of Nick Mondo. He was covered with blood and underneath his armpit was a gash and it was friggen disgusting. I also saw some guy blading another guy with a knife. As Kyle would say sarcasticaly, DUDE!

No, he just thought we were going to fuck with his account just because I asked for an IP check. So he left in a puff of XTREEEMMMEEE SMOOOOKKKKKEE!!!!!!!!

He really left because we were owning him and he had used the biggest lie he could think up relating to CZW's fanbase/status.

Probably also because he had now brought the wrath of TPWW down upon his precious Blockbuster Message Board.

Oh right, you said anyone good.

Yeah, I knew what CZW is. One of the old mods here, Derek Sabota, loved the shit out of CZW. Claimed it was the next ECW.

It was. IF by "next ECW" he meant "soon to be belly up."

The only difference is, no-one'll give enough of a shit to do Revival PPVs

OMFGZ!!!!!!!!11 TEH WWE IS TEH ROXXXORZ!!!!!!!!!!11 JOHN CENA IS TEH BEST EVER!!!!!!!!!11111111

Hush now, tardboy.

Have any of you bothered to even watch CZW in the past 2 years (Tournament of Death does not count, as half of the promotions in the Mid-West to the East Coast all have death match tourneys now-a-days)?

Wait, so you're being judgmental spaz without even knowing ourcredentials?

Hush now, tardboy.

Hush now, faggot. You have been made the laughing-stock of many-a-boards.....

Such as?

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Hush now, tardboy.

Complete waste of time.......I shall leave and stop being a nuisance, just to make Kane Knight's estrogen levels shoot-up 10-fold.......

Awww...Someone's chickening out when asked direct questions. Yeh, that's what I thought.

Hush now, tardboy.

Mondo is teh no 1!11!! I wuv teh CzDub!!!!112111!! Maddd mang Pondo 4 lyfe!!! CZW teh no111111!!!11!!!!!!111

wheres the diffrence?

I've seen a lot of CZW tapes, and in all the matches I've seen I've enjoyed one.


Ironically, Mondo was in the match, but got his ass carried to a half decent match by Trent Acid and Johnny Kashmere.

Seriously, the Junior Heavyweight division is just spot after spot after spot, its totally hard to believe. Half the time the guys are jumping to make sure that they actually hit the move. Everyone is right, there is absolutely no psychology what so ever.

Your right though, most of these shitty little indy promotions do have death match tournaments and they are utter garbage as well, but of course, they have these so called Junior Heavyweight divisions as well, which they use to justify the garbage wrestling on the rest of the show. CZW and IWA:MS (the ones I could think of off the top of my head) promote themselves as ultraviolent entertainment, and it does them no good what so ever when the majority of there events are headlined by the crapfests.

Nick Mondo has some basic wrestling skills, but they are exceedingly basic. The majority of his moves involve jumping and falling, just like any of the other junior-heavyweights in CZW, there is nothing other than the high-flying moves, spot after spot after spot. He wrestled in deathmatches because he could only go so far with his in-ring ability. The things CZW do bring a bad name for the "wrestling" side of the industry. Granted, the WWE put out exceedingly bad "entertainment" and have some equally poor wrestling at times, but they are not giving kids the message that its fun to go out and hit each other with glass and barbed wire and throw themselves onto fire. Mondo said himself "he did it for fun".....thats a great message for all those backyarders out there. At the end of the day Mondo, and 90% of the rest of the "talent" in CZW are backyarders who can't make it in promotions which actually promote wrestling over violence and psychology over a trampoline act.

I thought Sadistic left.

Now I have no idea if this was answered somewhere else. I have never been a fan of CZW because I never knew about it so please excuse this dumb question. CZW seems to be not liked by a lot of people here now way I see it seems very violent. But wasn't ECW violent too? I'm not comparing them to each other in any way. I'm just wondering what's hated so much about CZW?

ECW had wrestling in it I believe, and what I hear so far is that CZW is just nothing but nonstop weapons and bleeding.

ECW had it's emotion and mixed real wrestling, spot fests, and violence into the perfect mix.

CZW has spotfests and extreme matches. That's it.

And most of their wrestlers suck ass, as compared to ECW, which I don't think I need to point out, but Benoit, Jericho, Tazz, Eddie, Malenko, Rey, Austin, etc etc etc...

Okay, thanks for the answer.

I'm not Sadistic. The "OMGZ" and "Roxxzorz" shit, or whatever you may call it is just a way to piss people off. I'm not a bloodmark nor am I "MONDOS #1." I'm just trying to point out that many of you are basing your opinions of CZW on false beliefs. They have 1 hardcore match a show.....MAYBE 2. I'd say the rest of the card is filled with comedy/technical wrestling/strong style/etc, to give CZW a good mix of all kinds of styles.

I really don't know where some of you get this "spotty" stuff from. That may have been CZW's main characteristic back in 2001-2002, but it's totally different now. Some of the wrestlers do it for the hardcore aspect, some do it for the fans, some do it for the love of the sport, and some do it for pure comedy. I'd say CZW's upcoming Cage of Death show is VERY well-rounded so far. The only "ultraviolence" so far is the main event 3 vs. 3 cage match.

CZW is NOT all garbage wrestling, if any at all. Mondo's "era" is over and done with. He retired. He bumped and took unbelieveable shots to his body, and whether it was for the fans or for the pay, he's now RETIRED because of taking too much punishment. No need to harp on a pretty much dead genre of the wrestling world. I take it many of you have never heard of Mike Quackenbush, Chris Hero, Claudio Castagnoli, Super Dragon, or Kevin Steen. :roll: So much for the mindless, no-psychology, garbage wrestling......


EDITED to prevent large deposits of sand from collecting in Xero's vagina.......

Oh yeah, I've heard of them and I must say :lol:. They may not be ultraviolent, but you got two parts of it right, they are mindless with no psychology.

Professional wrestlers on this forum HATE CZW. You're a fan. And you're a blind CZW mark.

(Didn't read his whole post, one big fucking unreadable paragraph.)

How is my post unreadable? I typed in English. I could redo it in German or Spanish if you wish. I'm not a so-called "blind CZW mark. I like a bunch of other US indys as well as some foreign ones. Chikara, IWS, IWA-MS, ISW, etc. as well as TNA (not an indy, but oh well), NOAH, AJPW, NJPW, AAA, CMLL, and the list goes on. Broaden your horizens a bit people. I watch WWE every now and then and have come to despise it (and not because it's not hardcore). Everyone has their personal preferences, and I guess I can tolerate more than others.....but, that's life.
