Various News: JCW Returning, CZW TOD Tomorrow, Rhino

— “Kayfabe” – A CG Animated Short Film The word Kayfabe is professional wrestling term which basically means the portrayal of events within the industry as “real.” Boiled down to it’s simplest terms, that is the central plot of this short. A young wrestling fan is watching his favorite “sports entertainment” program and doesn’t realize it’s all staged. So he is freaking out while watching the action. This is contrasted against the nonchalant attitude of wrestlers in the ring, to whom the match is just another day at the office. This idea is similar to the classic Warner Brothers cartoons with the dog Marc Anthony worrying about his pet cat being cooked. Or more recently, the scene in Monsters Inc where Sully thinks Boo is a garbage cube. In broader terms, the hope behind this short is to create a feeling of nostalgia in the viewer, and what it was like to look at the world through less cynical eyes. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1597518156/kayfabe-a-cg-animated-short-film?ref=activity

So far Rhino, Shockwave the Robot, Tommy Dreamer, 2 Tuff Tony, Steve Corino, Kongo Kong, Weedman, The Ring Rydas, Zach Gowen, Madman Pondo, Necro Butcher and Officer Colt Cabana are all set for the shows.

— As previously reported, CZW has their eleventh annual Tournament of Death Saturday in Townsend, Delaware. The promotion reportedly paid several thousand dollars to meet all the proper requirements including blood tests for all talents in the promotion. They had much tougher scrutiny this year by the Delaware State Athletic Commission because of new laws. All competitors for the tournament were cleared by the state.

The tournament will be edited live and made available on Sunday as an iPPV. Due to the internet connection of the place and the outdoor aspect of the show, it isn’t considered a good contender for live iPPV.
