179
00:07:20,315 --> 00:07:22,710
cops aren't gonna
break up the party.
180

In the finals of the tournament,
183
00:07:28,698 --> 00:07:31,719
Gage is to face Thumbtack
Jack in a fight that would
184
00:07:31,743 --> 00:07:34,972
redefine the meaning of
Deathmatch wrestling.
185
00:07:34,996 --> 00:07:37,016
Nothing could prepare
the crowd for the
186
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,020
real-life horror show that
was about to unfold.
187
00:07:41,044 --> 00:07:43,773
Okay.
This is ...ing insane.
188
00:07:43,797 --> 00:07:46,859
I was right there for this.
189

I'm the owner and promoter
of Game Changer Wrestling.
191

Definitely been

At this time in 2009,
195
00:08:01,523 --> 00:08:04,418
I was a full-time
referee for CZW.
196
00:08:04,442 --> 00:08:05,670
You know, I was in the ring.
197
00:08:05,694 --> 00:08:08,005
(chanting)
Nick ...in' Gage!
198
00:08:08,029 --> 00:08:10,049
This was a really
significant match because
199
00:08:10,073 --> 00:08:12,593
Nick Gage was peaking in
popularity at this time.
200
00:08:12,617 --> 00:08:14,970
He was as popular as he
had ever been in his career.
201
00:08:14,994 --> 00:08:17,014
And, Thumbtack Jack, I mean,
202
00:08:17,038 --> 00:08:18,683
he was an import from Germany.
203
00:08:18,707 --> 00:08:20,935
You know, he was an
international Deathmatch star.
204
00:08:20,959 --> 00:08:23,729
So, it was really a
clash at that time of like,
205
00:08:23,753 --> 00:08:26,148
the two most popular
Deathmatch wrestlers.
206
00:08:26,172 --> 00:08:29,485
They imported some ing douchebag
207
00:08:29,509 --> 00:08:31,070

208
00:08:31,094 --> 00:08:33,114
They're talking all this
shit about Thumbtack Jack,
209
00:08:33,138 --> 00:08:34,990
"He's tough as hell
and all that shit."
210
00:08:35,014 --> 00:08:37,493
And I'm thinking, man,
this is my ...ing house.
211
00:08:37,517 --> 00:08:38,869
This is my backyard,
212
00:08:38,893 --> 00:08:40,621
and I'm gonna smash
this mother... er.
213
00:08:40,645 --> 00:08:42,957
You know what...
214
00:08:42,981 --> 00:08:45,459

Nick ...in' Gage!
220
00:09:01,499 --> 00:09:03,352
I remember him getting
whipped into the ropes,
221
00:09:03,376 --> 00:09:05,396
which were, of course,
surrounded by tubes.
222

Oh!
224
00:09:09,257 --> 00:09:11,777
And, at first, it didn't
look anything like
225
00:09:11,801 --> 00:09:13,362
out of the ordinary.
226
00:09:13,386 --> 00:09:14,822

He's cut!
230
00:09:22,854 --> 00:09:24,457
[Nick] What happened was,
the light tube,
231
00:09:24,481 --> 00:09:26,709
when I hit it,
the top of it snapped.
232
00:09:26,733 --> 00:09:29,670
So, the bottom of it's
sticking there and
233
00:09:29,694 --> 00:09:32,655
I just hit it the wrong
way and then, bang, got me.
234
00:09:34,866 --> 00:09:37,887
Looks down,
lifts his arm and just...

until he turns, like, 60,
maybe he can't go anymore.
