Notes:
-Attendance is estimated at 500 and the crowd is said to be loud.
-During the opener, Beef claimed he would have sex with Cloudy by the end of the match. They locked-up to open the match, the lights went low, a love song came on and the crowd erupted in a massive "CZW!" chant. The finish to the bout came when Beef was going for a Jig N' Tonic-like move on Cloudy but Cheech came off the top rope with a Double Stomp to Beef and the momentum turned it into a Yoshi Tonic from Cloudy.
-After the interference between fellow PWU wrestlers Devon Moore and Drew Blood, Nick Gage ran in and cleared the ring of them allowing Sabian to defeat The Best Around. As per the stipulation, by pinning on member of the team, both men were eliminated.
-Weapons for the Ultraviolent Survival Match include a pane of glass, a barbed wire board, a staple gun and a ladder. Diehard jumped Andy Sumner to start the match. Mickie Knuckles took a staple to the vagina and executed a B-Boy-like Face Lift dropkick through a pane of glass. The match was said to be a good hardcore match that had the crowd going nuts throughout.
-There have been lots of "Jerry!" chants at the Naptown Dragons all night long.
-Following the Tournament Of Death Qualifying Match, they showed a TOD hype video no the CZW-Tron.
-Through a pre-match promo, Benz vs. Havoc was turned into a Tables Match and went approximately 2-minutes.
-LuFisto vs. Taylor was said to be a decent match.
-Gulak got a good ovation following his loss to Sabian, whom has came out to two different entrance themes thus far tonight.
-During the Hardcore War, Excellent was busted wide open. At one point Kylie Pierce managed to Tornado DDT Brodie. Cheech and Cloudy ran in at the conclusion of the bout. Greg managed to give Cloudy a Tiger Driver '98 but Cheech wrapped barbed wire around Brodie's boot which allowed him to kick Excellent for the win. Following the match, Brodie gave Pierce a huge Powerbomb into thumbtacks.
-DJ Hyde comes out and says he wants "The Man". The lights dim and a Nick Gage video plays on the CZW-Tron and Nick Gage answers his open challenge. Near the end of the match, the crowd began throwing chairs into the ring allowing Gage to hit a superplex onto all the chairs for the victory.
-Sabian apparently has an injured shoulder and the crowd is behind him big time. Sabian dig a big dive to the floor and further aggravated the injury. During the contest Zandig grabbed a guy out of the crowd because he had a camcorder. Following the match, Sabian raise Chuck's hand but was hit with the Awful Waffle. Chuck cashed in his title shot, Sabato counted to 3 and we have a new CZW World Junior Heavyweight Champion.
