History YMMV / CZW

* WhatAnIdiot: Nick Gage, who robbed a bank without wearing a mask or anything. He was then sentenced to five years of which he served four, only to be re-arrested for a parole violation upon his release.

* EndingFatigue: Among those who liked the first decade of CZW, seemingly unending angles and {{shocking swerve}}s that ultimately changed little in the long run were the most consistent complaints, as the results of matches they would otherwise have enjoyed seemed undermined by the booking.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Besides bringing {{garbage wrestling}} to new venues in Canada, Sick Nick Mondo got invitations to come to Italy and train wrestlers while Mad Man Pondo became beloved in Japan.

* MemeticMutation: The infamous John Zandig promo, particularly, [[{{Website/Botchamania}} "JEEZUS!"]]

* NightmareFuel: Nick Mondo's matches often went into this territory, even by garbage wrestling standards. Especially when he and Zandig fell off a roof. Rory Mondo and Danny Havoc's feud worked around invoking memories of the injuries suffered in Sick Nick's career.
** The "i quit match" between Wifebeater and Zandig. Featured such spots as Zandig being hit with a weedwhacker, then covered ''in salt.''
** Thumbtack Jacks use of a syringe as a weapon. Especially his habit of filling it with water, then sticking it through the cheeks of his opponent and squirting it out, to prove that it's real.
* FandomRivalry
** With Ring Of Honor and IWA Mid-South obviously, particularly on the subject of ECW's successor. Both much more friendly that with XPW though. It's starts with the fact that while CZW imitated ECW, XPW actively opposed ECW, then tried to buy out its roster and territory, where CZW was also moving into when ECW went under. XPW's fans will remind people of CZW's backyard origins while CZW's will counter that "their" company moved passed that while XPW never put its pornographic origins behind it and arguments just get nastier from there.
** Seemingly invoked when CZW acquired WSU and started doing double features as Pro Wrestling Syndicate ran shows directly to counter the two of them with it's then new BLOW brand, perhaps to capitalize on the disenfranchisement WSU's time with Beyond had left.(It didn't work at first. Fate conspired to make almost everything go wrong with the BLOW shows that could but the "brand" resurfaced in 2016. Then the entire PWS brand collapsed not due to the quality of its shows but the state of its ownership)
** Wrestling/{{FMW}} fans had already been murmuring against CZW since its inception but it went both ways after the supposedly retiring Atsushi Onita himself came back to the US to work with CZW and decried the promotion and it's explosives as "cheap". The fans who went were pleased to see Onita live all the same.
* FriendlyFandoms: Besides cultivating one with Chikara, Wrestling/DragonGate USA and EVOLVE crowds tend to have high crossover with CZW's.
