"Wrestling" is too polite of a term
|
| Combat Zone Wrestling or CZW is one of many independent wrestling promotions that rose from the popularity that is the blood-and-guts approach of Extreme Championship Wrestling(ECW. Bloodied foreheads, broken tables, barbed wire, and crowd interaction are trademarks of this particularly brutal style of professional wrestling. However, where ECW excelled with mature storylines and actual wrestling (gasp!), CZW is nothing more than a pretender to the throne. "CZW: Scarred" contains very little wrestling. Rather, we are treated to matches involving men finding creative ways in which to maim and mutilate each other with such props as light tubes and weedwackers (yes, you read that last part right). This is little more than a glorified backyard federation. As a matter of fact, several of these matches were filmed in a backyard. The sad fact of the matter is CZW actually has some talented wrestlers, but you would not know it from this particular DVD. There is absolutely no psychology or visceral feelings to go along with any of these matches. Rather, you get the "I-slice-you/you-slice-me" approach that is intended solely for shock value. It's not that I am against hardcore wrestling. To the contrary; Wrestlers like Terry Funk and Mick Foley have successfully utilized blood and other hardcore elements in their matches, but were still able to tell a compelling story in the process. The only story CZW intends to tell is one detailing the importance of having a good education. On the plus side, "CZW: Scarred" is a professionally-produced slick DVD with nice sound and video quality, which is more than I can say for other wrestling DVDs. The DVD clocks in at about 90 minutes with (only) three complete matches and a plethora of highlights and video clips. Hey, if watching grown men slice each other to ribbons is your thing, this is a DVD for you. However, if you want some actual wrestling with hardcore fighting, take a pass. |
