Tribute! "Sick" Nick Mondo

Sick Nick Mondo
(His at the bottom the fan is over head)

A Farewell to "Sick" Nick Mondo ( HE IS NOT DEAD JUST RETIRED)

From : OWW by Mark Rose

On Nov 10,2003 "Sick" Nick Mondo announced his retirement from the wrestling business. A huge fan favorite in CZW as well as a personal favorite of my own. Mondo was a guy who always gave his all in the ring. Much like his wrestling hero Sabu, Nick was a tremendous high flying risk taker who brought a unique and exciting brand of hardcore wrestling night in and night out. He was a rare breed of wrestler who fit in just as good in a junior heavyweight tournament as he did in deathmatch tournaments. A former CZW tag team champion, a multiple Iron Man champion and a winner of CZW's Tournament of Death he never had the opportunity to hold the CZW World Heavyweight title. It never mattered. Nick Mondo was a true champion of the people in CZW.

The first time I saw Nick wrestle was on a CZW tape I bought called "They Said it Couldn't be Done" in which he was on the receiving end of a top rope dragon suplex through a table. I knew from that moment that I was truly seeing something different. I've now had the good fortune to have seen almost every match Nick Mondo wrestled for CZW and I don't think anyone can match some of the amazing risks and bumps that this man has taken. As soon as you heard Papa Roach's "Last Resort" blaring from the speakers at the CZW Arena you knew you were going to get your money's worth. In a business full of ego's and prima donna performers he never cared what spot he had on the card. He never worried about having a title around his waist. Nick only wanted to see a smile on the face of all of his fans. He wrestled because he loved it, not because he wanted fame and fortune.

Don't Flame stuff that you haven't tried before!

Just a word of thought to the wrestling fans that haven't or never cached a indy show or ever tired and even wants to try a indy promotion. Try to watch a independent Wrestling promotion. I know its not what your use to watching on TV but the indies all have talent that is brand new and old and extremely talented to keep an eye on. If you want to know how to watch any independent wrestling promotion feel free to message on my profile i will help out whom ever wants to try any indy promotion out.
