Early this afternoon, a very troubling letter addressed to ‘CZW and its fans’ arrived at the New Alhambra Arena. The return address read “God Damn, West Virginia” and it was from one Necro Butcher, Dylan Summers.
CZWNews has cleaned up and re-printed the letter below for all to read:
Hey man,
So I'm sitting on my couch, beer in hand, heeling up a few injuries from another brutal Cage of Death which I had the pleasure of risking my life in when I get a phone call from a friend of mine who had just been reading some things on the internet. I don’t get a chance to go online too much, so I can’t always keep up with what’s being said about me, but apparently, CZW’s website and its fan forums are disappointed in my effort at Cage of Death IX.
I’ve always loved you guys. The CZW fans have always been there for me. We’ve drank many a beer, smoked many a ”cigarette”(CZWNews Edit), and had some great times during my days with the Combat Zone. I’ve always trusted your opinions, and that’s what makes this whole situation particularly upsetting for me.
From what I’m hearing, the fact that I got through a match without pouring liters of blood from my forehead, or falling 25 feet to another concussion has made me a forgotten part of CZW’s biggest match of the year. According to you guys, I had nothing to do with the fact that Team Lobo won and ran Maven Bentley away from CZW forever. And, I guess you guys have decided to pick a new hero: Danny Havoc.
Don’t get me wrong, Danny Havoc’s a good kid. He’s probably even got a bright future ahead of him…if he lives. But, I’ve just got to know, where was Danny Havoc in 2002 when me and Wifebeater put the first ever Tournament of Death on the map? Where was Danny Havoc in 2004 when I faced Pondo and New Jack in the main event of the 5th anniversary show? Where was Danny Havoc in 2005 when I beat Nick Gage and Zandig, two CZW legends, to win Tournament of Death 4? Where was he at Cage of Death 7, when I stomped a hole in Justice Pain’s face? Where was Danny Havoc when I was loyal to CZW, and represented the black and yellow against Ring of Honor? The answer is nowhere to be found.
For years, I was loyal to CZW. I ate, slept, and most importantly bled CZW. I sacrificed my body and my future for CZW. I reserved the 2nd Saturday of every month for the Combat Zone. I looked forward to arriving in South Philly, and catching up with all my friends at the bar and at the Arena. I turned down other bookings, lost relationships, and a hell of a lot of money so I could stay loyal to CZW. But, I guess that was all for nothing.
Somewhere along the way, you all took me for granted. You took my loyalty for granted, and assumed I’d be with CZW to the end. But now, I’m thinking it’s time for me to consider other opportunities. Maybe look to do what’s best for me for once. Maybe I’ll think better about accepting an invitation to CZW’s next no-rope barbed wire match. Maybe, I’ll think better about going head first into that Lighttube Log Cabin the next time I’m in Delaware. Maybe I’ll graciously bow out of my next match with Brain Damage.
Maybe I’ll take a page from you guys, the CZW fans. Maybe I’ll re-arrange my loyalties, hitch my wagon to the next big thing. Maybe I’ve just had too many beers. Or… maybe not. I guess you’ll have to wait to find out.
“Your friend”,
The Necro Butcher
