Another bump as we get closer to CZW's Anniversary show.
The big draws are inducting Necro Butcher into the CZW Hall of Fame and Masada taking on Casanova Valentine in a deathmatch.
Looking at the rest of the card, CZW is going really young with their roster. There's a lot of kids from Dojo Wars being called up. Don't know a lot about them but apparently a very talented group coming up.
Of course, adding Joe Gacy and Jimmy Rave as trainers help

Doing a super bump of 2 years as CZW has started to do plenty of shows recently. Much smaller venues now of course and their splitting their time currently between their school/studio in Blackwood New Jersey and the State Theatre in LA Havre Maryland. There's a show currently going on, and having seen clips from recent shows, they're slowly starting to rebuild an audience.
DJ is not very popular for many reasons but since he bought CZW he has shown that he is able to find talent. And while there is still a LONG way to go, as a long time fan, I do respect the rebuild from the ground up.
Currently sounds like Lince Dorado and DeSean Pratt (the former Amasis) are running the school and booking talent. They've also been using Fred Yehi a bunch. Outside of that they're highlighting a lot of young wrestlers from the Tri State area yet to bring big and have ran 2 Scouting Combines to find talent.
Again while clearly a huge downgrade from where the mid 2010s but I'd argue a huge step up from the 2018 and 2019 shows... and again based on some of the clips I've seen today they are slowly starting to rebuild a fanbase.

Some guy on Reddit who's a legit 6'7 and trained there posted a vid of himself doing a 450 to end a match at one of their shows.
GCW ate their lunch as far as potential expansion, but it definitely looks like the eye for talent is still there.

CzW absolutely can grow again to a top indy again, not GCW level but back to being a great place to be

For anybody in Philly on August 20th CZW will have a free show at the Oval. It's an outside event.
Again not the CZW you guys may remember (I'm legit talking full on hard reboot with talent aside from The Rep) so they are rebuilding everything but the shows have been good recently

CZW had it's first sell out in La Havre since returning (there's an upper balcony too that's not in the picture). Still a small crowd compared to the glory days but with how they have torn down everything and essentially started over from scratch in October 2021? Very happy for the company
