Tournament of Death

The Tournament of Death is an annual tournament held by Combat Zone Wrestling. The first Tournament of Death was held in 2002. During that show two men, Nick Mondo and Homeless Jimmy, fell off of a truck onto tables and light tubes. The main event of that show featured Wifebeater using a "weedwhacker" on Nick Mondo. In 2003, owner John Zandig and Nick Mondo fell off a two-story roof onto tables and light tubes. In 2004, Sexxxy Eddy cut an artery in his arm, causing blood to squirt out into his mouth. In 2005, Nick Gage was accidentally set on fire because of a suplex on Zandig into a barbed wired glass sheet pit set on the ring apron and a guardrail, which was set on fire with a full container of lighter fuel, in which Nick Gage fell back first into the pit, meanwhile a small part on Zandig's back was set on fire but was put out quickly, also, leaving both with some burns.

In 2006, Nick Gage finally won the tournament of death when he defeated J.C. Bailey, Drake Younger & Brain Damage in the finals. In 2007, Nick Gage and Mitch Ryder were both advertised for the event but did not show up. Drake Younger would beat Brain Damage in the finals to win Tournament of Death 2007.
