==Event== |
|||
Due to their upcoming annual COD show at the end of 2001, the company needed a bigger venue and made their debut in the [[The Arena (Philadelphia)|ECW Arena]], formerly Viking Hall and currently The Arena. The venue was the first sellout in the building since the era of [[Extreme Championship Wrestling|ECW]], and hundreds were turned away from the biggest show in the promotions history.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pwbts.com/columns/b121701.html|title=Recap of Cage of Death 3.|accessdate=2008-02-12|date=2001-12-17|author=Magee, Bob|publisher=Pro Wrestling's Between The Sheets}}</ref> |

Ty Street wrestled Mongoose to a no-contest. Jeff Rocker ran in and then Nate Hatred and Nick Gage came out and destroyed everyone. [[Nick Gage]] and [[Nate Hatred]] defeated a masked team suspiciously looking like Jay and Mark Briscoe (who wrestled under masks presumably to get around the selectively enforced [[Pennsylvania]] age restrictions). [[NWA-Southwest]] workers Joey Corman defeated Samir and Brad Michaels in a 3-Way Dance. Corman pinned Michaels after hitting the spin doctor. In what had been billed as a match with Zandig and Glen Osbourne; Osbourne, Lobo, and Danny Rose all got involved in a big brawl with Zandig until Greg from [[WWE Tough Enough|Tough Enough]] made the save.<ref name="COD 3"/> |
|||
In an elimination match, [[The S.A.T.]] defeated Chris Divine, Quiet Storm and Brian XL. The order of elimination: [[Joel Maximo]] (by Divine), Divine (by Jose Maximo), [[Jose Maximo]] (by XL), Brian XL (by Red), Quiet Storm (by [[Amazing Red]], after the Spanish Fly by the Maximos and the Infared Splash).<ref name="COD 3"/> |
|||
Jon Dahmer and Fast Eddie Valentine defeated [[Chris Ca$h]] & GQ. [[Trent Acid]] defeated Ruckus to win the CZW/BJW Junior Heavyweight Titles. Initially, both men were counted out, but the match was restarted by [[Zandig]] with a ladder involved. Acid won the match with the Yakuza Kick, but was put through a table by Big Japan's Winger, who then walked off with both belts. Johnny Kashmere defeated Menace with the Cradlebreaker. Mad Man Pondo defeated Z-Barr - The returning Pondo got the pin after hitting Barr with a splash on top of a chair and his patented Stop Sign. [[Adam Flash]] defeated [[Nick Berk]] and [[Nick Mondo]] in a Falls Count Anywhere match to win the CZW Iron Man Title.<ref name="COD 3"/> |
|||
Inside the Cage of Death, were a jackhammer, a cactus, garbage cans, a truck hood, and tables; and was topped by a scaffold. [[Justice Pain]] defeated Wifebeater to retain the CZW World Heavyweight Title as both men crashed through [[Table (furniture)|tables]] in the ring off of the [[scaffold]] that topped of the cage of death.<ref name="COD 3"/> |
|||
As the match finished, the Arena lights went out. In a [[kayfabe]] angle, former [[ECW (WWE)|ECW]] owner [[Todd Gordon]], along with [[Brian Heffron|Blue Meanie]], [[Gary Wolfe|Pitbull #1]], [[Rockin' Rebel]], [[Rocco Rock]] were in the ring, trashed CZW, with Gordon calling the fans "[[ingrate]]s" for chanting CZW. After they abused Justice Pain and Wifebeater, the CZW locker room crashed the cage, and the lights went out again. When they came back on, [[The Sandman]] was standing in the middle of the ring.<ref name="COD 3"/> |
|||
Sandman then turned on his former [[ECW (WWE)|ECW]] compatriots. At the end Sandman stripped off his ECW t-shirt for a CZW shirt and had a beer with [[Zandig]]. |
|||
===Background=== |
|||
Before a turnaway crowd of 1,500, in part causing the show to start an hour late, [[Combat Zone Wrestling]] debuted at the [[The Arena (Philadelphia)|ECW Arena]] on December 15 in a show that lasted until 1:40 the next morning.<ref name="COD 3"/> |
|||
The show opened with CZW remembering one of its own. In a sad [[irony]], [[Russ Haas]],<ref name="COD 3"/> former CZW Tag Team Champion with brother [[Charlie Haas]], died only hours before CZW's biggest moment in his sleep. A ten bell count was done for Haas, with some wrestlers wearing black armbands, and others taping "RH" on their wrestling boots.<ref name="COD 3"/> |
|||
The "Cage of Death" was put together by Mark Pantalone, better known among CZW fans as "Whacks". Pantalone started out as a fan, and became one of the many people who played a part in helping to put this show together. The Cage of Death was impressive and solid (which fans could tell when Wifebeater or [[Justice Pain]] were thrown into it) and appeared TV friendly to boot. |
|||
There were many criticisms of the performance of Atlas Security, not surprising given their past problems handling crowds at the [[The Arena (Philadelphia)|ECW Arena]]. Lines outside were moved from entrance to entrance, and people were kept outside for an unnecessarily long period of time; producing many complaints.<ref name="COD 3"/> |
