CZW returned to the ECW Arena last night before a surprisingly good crowd given the presence of UFC 101 only a short bus ride away.
The evening opened with the Locker room all around ringside as announcer Larry Legend introduced Zandig, who gave out awards for CZW's Hall of Fame as well as thank you awards to hard-working staff all known by long-time and not so long time fans. Awards went to Mark "WHACKS" Pantalone, the husband-wife team of Shawn Kernaghan (ring crew jack-of-all-trades), Sabine Kernaghan (who handles tickets, arranges flights, and does a hundred other things), Maven Bentley, video and website guru Mike Pancoast. Hall of Fame inductions included Jon Dahmer, Hardcore Nick Gage, and Wifebeater.
John Zandig announces that he sold CZW to DJ Hyde (legitimately, not storyline). Hyde announces that CZW will be going back to Townsend, DE on October 24 at the Markland family farm that hosted Tournament of Death...for Tournament of Death 2009 v. 2.0. DJ tells Zandig to be in it....Zandig accepts to face DJ in October.
Switchblade Conspiracy came out and attack Zandig. Naptown Dragons and Wifebeater make the save. Zandig then officially inducted Wifebeater into the CZW Hall of Fame
