3/21 - For Immediate Release
Gage and Drake to meet for the Gold at "Winner Takes All"!

On April 5th at "Winner Takes All", it will be the old guard of CZW vs the new as two of the Combat Zone's most popular wrestlers meet for the biggest prize in the sport. The original "Future of Hardcore" Nick Gage will put his CZW World Heavyweight Title on the line in perhaps his toughest challenge yet against the young and hungry UVU Champ, Drake Younger. Hardcore CZW fans know this highly anticipated matchup is nearly 2 years in the making.

When a mostly unknown Drake Younger first stepped into the Combat Zone at 2006's Tournament of Death, few predicted he would ever reach the heights he has. On that day, Drake showed the heart, courage, and determination that few possess in not only reaching the TOD finals, but also winning the hearts of CZW's loyal fans. Of course in the finals, he ran in to a CZW legend... Nick F'N Gage.

Gage's legacy in the Combat Zone is unmatched. He is a CZW original, and a true legend in the world of Ultraviolence. In 1999 when he first debuted with CZW, he was known as the "Future of Hardcore". Today, nine years, a few World Championships and a Tournament of Death trophy later, he is known as "The Man" or simply... "Champ".

Since Drake's arrival in the Combat Zone, he and Gage have met in the ring on multiple occasions. In the fall of 2006, Drake recorded what was at the time the biggest win of his career when he defeated Nick Gage for the UVU title in an unforgettable No Rope Barbed Wire match at FEAR. Since that day, Drake and Nick's careers seemingly went in completely opposite directions.

After FEAR, Drake solidified his spot as one of the most popular performers in CZW history, while at the same time Nick Gage began to endure one of the roughest stretches of his not just his career, but his life.

In February of 2007, CZW presented it's eighth year anniversary show, highlighted by what should've been an epic encounter between Nick Gage and his brother, Justice Pain for the CZW Title. However, an early injury (what later turned out to be a broken collarbone and severe concussion) forced Gage out of the match, and put his career, and the status of the main event in serious jeapordy. With Gage out, a packed New Alhambra called out for DRAKE, and sure enough, the bloodied warrior emerged with a spool of barbed wire in his hand, ready for war.

Drake came up short that night, but his legacy as a man of the fans was solidified forever. Nick Gage however would not be seen or heard from in the Combat Zone again for nearly a year... until Cage of Death IX.

At Cage of Death IX in December, Gage re-emerged in the black and yellow ring, and made an immediate impact. The rejuvenated Ultraviolent veteran inserted himself in the World Title Match, and pinned The Messiah to become the new CZW Champion. Since then, it's been all uphill for Gage, just like it has for Drake Younger... and on April 5th in South Philly, the incredibly popular Superstars will meet with the biggest prize in the game on the line.

There's nothing in life that Drake Younger wants more than to be CZW World Champ. There's a popular saying in wrestling that says "...to be the man... you've got to beat the man...". At "Winner Takes All", he'll have to beat the "F'N MAN", if he wants to reach the top of the Ultraviolent mountain. Gage has long been "The Future of Hardcore", but on April 5th that moniker will be put to the test. On April 5th, the future... is now... as Nick Gage and Drake Younger meet for the CZW World Heavyweight Championship.

Tickets for "Winner Takes All" are still available and can be purchased online at CZWrestling.com. Stay tuned to the CZW website in the coming days as we reveal the rest of the card for Saturday, April 5th's CZW return to the NEW ALHAMBRA in South Philly.

ALSO... CZW fans don't forget to visit the new OFFICIAL PRE-AND POST SHOW PARTY of Combat Zone Wrestling and "Winner Takes All"... on the corner of Oregon Ave and 2nd at NICKELS TAVERN! CZW wrestlers will be appearing both before and after the show, so make sure you stop in and say hi, grab a drink and chill with other CZW fans like yourself at South Philly's neighborhood bar, just a few minutes away from the Arena!
