The Tournament of Death is an annual tournament held by Combat Zone Wrestling. Each installment of the Tournament of Death featured a unique stunt. The first Tournament of Death was held in 2002 and was went up against Xtreme Pro Wrestling's first show on the East Coast the same night. During that show two men, Nick Mondo and Homeless Jimmy (from XPW), 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. 2005 saw Nick Gage 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.
