Documentary
Overview
This is Deathmatch at its most raw, real, and legendary. Every summer, in a dusty field far from the spotlight, the toughest, most fearless fighters in the world gather for one purpose — to leave a piece of themselves behind in the ring. This is CZW’s Tournament of Death, the most revered Deathmatch wrestling event in America… maybe the world. This documentary is a front-row seat to the mayhem — and a deep dive into what makes this blood-soaked tradition so powerful. Featuring in-your-face footage, unfiltered interviews, and behind-the-scenes access, it captures the violent beauty and chaotic brotherhood that defines TOD. From underground icons like Mad Man Pondo, Mickie Knuckles, and Judge Joe Fred, to global deathmatch stars like Big Joe, Danny Darko, and Joel Bateman, this is where legends are carved in glass, wire, and fire.
