Airing September 14, 2013 from Voorhees, NJ.
CALEB KONLEY AND SHANE HOLLISTER vs. (THE BEAVER BOYS) ALEX REYNOLDS AND JOHN SILVER: Konley and Reyonlds kick the match off. The pace is slow to start as both men are fighting for position and even attempt to dish out a couple of quick roll ups. The pace is actually quite lethargic for the time being. Both men give up fighting for the offense and decide to tag in their partners. Silver and Hollister going at it now. Back to back springboards on Hollister by Silver and then Reynolds. Pin attempt but Hollister kicks out, bursts up and and goes on offense. Konley signaling for a tag but Hollister remains ignorant to the idea. Instead he hits a dive to the outside on Reynolds and he takes out Konley in the process. Blind tag by Konley. Konley and Reynolds are the legal competitors now. Konley with firm control over Reynolds. Hollister blind tags in and now he has firm control over Reynolds. A cooperative tag in by Konley and Hollister. Reynolds finally gets to silver and being the fresh man, he dominates Hollister eight away, hip tossing him all the way across the ring. Double sliced bread by Silver. A little double team work by the Beaver Boys and then Silver applies a crossface on Hollister. Hollister cannot break the hold but Konley sends Reynolds into Silver allowing Hollister to escape the hold…the stream is chopped and scrwed…surprisingly enough the stream cleans itself up with Silver applying a crossface on Konley. Konley powers out of the hold and gets a near fall. Double superkick to Reynolds. Konley and Hollister line up for double forearms on Silver but Silver dodges it sparking a miscue between Konley and Hollister where Hollister kicks Konley in the face. Then I  completely missed exactly how Silver put Hollister away to earn the three count but nevertheless…Winners: John Silver and Alex Reynolds. *** range.
JAKE AND DAVE CRIST vs. SOZIO AND BIFF BUSICK: The Crist Brothers hit simultaneous dives to the outside to put the match into gear. A little brawl on the outside ensues. Busick launches Dave into the guard rail and then Jake comes to the rescue sending Busick into the ring and then the bell sounds. Dave is not yet on the apron so Jake is very much being isolated. Busick and Sozio taking turns with legal tags. Not one bit of offense for Jake several minutes in. Dave is finally making is way onto the apron. Blue thunder bomb by Sozio on Jake. Sozio tags in Busick and then they go to knock Dave off the apron again. It takes Dave no time to get back up and he manages to get the tag. A hot burst of offense by Dave. A bunch of strikes from Dave. Back in comes Jake but back in comes Busick. Massive Dragon suplex on Jake. Busick gets tossed to the outside and Dave hits a springboard moonsault to the floor and ends up in the front row! Thi is becoming a ton of fun to watch but then DJ Hyde ruins the party. He grabs Neveah at ringside causing a distraction allowing Busick and Sozio to attack Dave and Jake and ultimately get the win. Then a beat down takes place. Massive dragon suplexes. This obviously forces the continuation of the OI4K/Hyde feud. Winners: Sozio and Biff Busick. **1/2 range.
Matt Tremont makes his way to the ring. He takes a seat in the middle of the ring. He says how the last time he was relevant in CZW he was standing on top of the Cage of Death after sending DJ Hyde to hell. He says nobody has given their bodies and bled as much as he has for CZW in the last year. He goes over how Joe Gacy is still a thorn in his side. He complains of not having any opportunities but that he should, since he doesn’t kiss anyone’s ass and only wrestles for the CZW fans. He talks about his health scare but promises he is ready to go and his lack of relevance has nothing to do with that. He says what he wants and what he deserves is a shot at Gacy right now. He says he ain’t going anywhere until it happens. Maven Bentley comes out and says Tremont needs to leave. Out comes Gacy but there is a lot of security between them. Gacy tells Tremont to stop wasting his time and to basically give up. Tremont is heated and randomly powerbombs one member of the security team. Tremont threatens to hit Bentley with his fork so Bentley says he’ll make the match but not until next month. Tremont attacks Gacy. Security is trying to break them apart. At “Cerebral” on October 12, these two will lock up again in a “House of Horrors” match. Fantastic segment!
DAVID STARR AND JT DUNN vs. (4LOKO) AZRIEAL AND BANDIDO JR.: Bandido and Dunn start the match off. Dunn tosses Bandido to the outside almost right away and then hits a suicide dive. Bandido retreats back into the ring and tags in Azrieal instead of dealing with a hyped up Dunn. In comes Starr and he puts the match on the mat. He controls Azrieal, pops back up and tags Dunn back in. Azrieal turns the tide with an electric chair drop. 4loko with a little back and forth tagging and attempt at isolating Dunn. Three amigos is blocked by Dunn on the third one and Dunn uses that counter to make it to Starr. The attempt is a failed one.

Dunn finally makes it to Starr and Azrieal goes for a tag at the same time. German by Starr. Springboard sexfactor by Dunn. Dunn turns Bandido inside out with a lariat. A double underhook powerbomb and a Starr slam. A rapid pace now. Starr and Dunn set up for simultaneous roaring elbows but they connect with each other. The miscue sets up the finish and 4Loko gets the pin fall victory with their double stomp tombstone combination. Winners: Azrieal and Bandido Jr. ***1/2 range. 
Grudge Match – DREW BLOOD vs. LUCKY 13: Blood attacks Lucky in the entrance way as he is making his way to the ring. Blood retrieves a few chairs from under the ring, unfolds them and sets them up like a table.

Havoc goes to remove Mondo’s boot and tries to drive the exposed foot into the tacks but can’t pull it off. Mondo places Havoc on the tacks face first.

Chri$ Ca$h Memorial Four Way Ladder Match for the CZW Wired Championship. AR FOX def vs. ANDREW EVERETT, ALEX COLON AND SHANE STRICKLAND: These matches can be extremely hard to cover, and to be selfish I want to keep my eyes peeled on it, so here are some of the key spots…Simultaneous tope’s by Fox and Strickland to kick things off. A superplex by Colon on Everett to the floor, crashing down onto Fox and Strickland. Colon with a ladder assisted camelclutch on Strickland. Springboard dropkick attempt by Fox is blocked by Everett, so Fox goes flying back, crashing through a guardrail that was positioned between the apron and the front row barricades. Fox places strickland onto the same guardrail he just crashed through, and hits a kickflip moonsault onto Strickland. Everett sets up a ladder in the ring, gets a smaller one and places in between the ropes and the standing ladder. Everett goes for something high risk but Strickland moves out of the way and Everett crashes through the ladder. Fox hits the lo mein pain on Colon sending him into a ladder. Strickland hits a candian destroyer style rana on Colon sending him to the floor through a table. Colon needs attention. He is being brought to the back. This match is completely built on spot to spot transitions, but it’s one of the best spot fests you’ll ever see. The locker room clears out in support of the match, pounding the mat at ringside. Strickland retrieves a 20 footer. Everett takes out Strickland and goes to climb the ladder. Fox tips it over and Everett comes down crashing through a table set up leaning against the turnbuckle. Fox sets up another table in the ring and places Strickland on it. Fox climbs the ladder but Strickland stops him and hits a cash flow driver off the ladder. Strickland is climbing now and looking like a sure winner, but Colon who had been attended to and brought to the back runs out, shoves Strickland off, climbs the ladder, grabs the title and wins the match. Great finish! This was spotty but the spots were so frequent the flow was perfect. Winner: And new CZW Wired Champion, Alex Colon. **** range.
This was a phenomenal showing by CZW. A highly recommended show and every match is well worth sitting through. This is the best outing for CZW since “Best of the Best XII” earlier this year, and perhaps another viewing session will determine it is the very best CZW show of 2013 thus far.
Overall Show Grade: A-

  1. I am under the impression that Havoc setting the coffin on fire at TOD this year was not a pre-planned spot. I wouldn’t bet my life on it but I can believe it.
