Match of the Day - The Masada/Kasai no mat, glass pane, & gusset plate deathmatch
Masada vs. Jun Kasai - No Mat, Glass Pane, Gusset Plate Deathmatch Pain Limit finals - FREEDOMS (2012)
Here's another tournament match...
CZW's Masada and "The Crazy Monkey" Jun Kasai know how to put on an ultraviolent, stomach curdling, how-is-this-stuff-even-legal?, bloody-ass deathmatch. If you don't like the sound of anything that I just wrote, please do not watch this match. If you love the sound of what I wrote above, you are one sick fuck.
To add to this weeks theme, and in good practice with Ash Wednesday/Lent's giving something up until Jesus comes back on Easter with chocolate eggs, this match gets rid of the mat or canvas of the ring. Instead of all that soft stuff on top of the ring, it is completely bare with only its boards intact... well, that is, until Masada decides to tear off some boards to create a gaping hole in the ring. Once Masada strips the boards, he places a pane of glass over the hole and then, if it's pretty self explanatory as to what he does next, Masada powerbombs Kasai through the glass and down through the ring to the floor, or whatever is under a ring.
Luckily, Kasai survives the drop with only a few minor scratches and some skin peeled off. Then he finishes the match, of course.
Theme results
Ring Destruction: The mat/canvas is removed to began with then Masada rips out some boards for added hardcore nonsense.

Song of the Day - Mardi Gras in New Orleans
Fats Domino - Mardi Gras in New Orleans from The Fabulous Mr. D (1958)
My favorite rendition of Professor Longhair's signature "Go to the Mardi Gras"/"Mardi Gras in New Orleans" number.
Happy Mardi Gras!

Match of the Day - The Kings of Wrestling's King of Europe Cup opening round causalty
Chris Hero vs. Claudio Castagnoli - Opening Round match - King of Europe Cup (2007)
Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli AKA The Kings of Wrestling battle one another in this opening round match for the 2007 King of Europe Cup. At the time, Hero was representing Combat Zone Wrestling while Castagnoli was representing Chikara Pro.
The match itself goes nice and smooth until Chris Hero slams Claudio Castagnoli with enough force to leave a big dip in the ring. For the rest of the match, Hero and Castagnoli must fight around this indentation in the middle of the squared circle. From there, like the mat itself, the match pretty much goes down hill and is all about how the hell are these two guys going to end the match without using the middle of the ring.
Theme results
Ring Destruction: The ring collapses in the middle.

Song of the Day - High School Field Trip to Murder Island
Bearcubbin'! - High School Field Trip to Murder Island from Girls With Fun Haircuts (2014)
Loop-happy math rock from the other Portland, Bearcubbin'! A must-listen for anyone that is a fan of music that doesn't go the way one thinks it will.
This is seriously awesome.

Match of the Debut - The Nexus hijack Raw
John Cena vs. CM Punk - Viewer's Choice WWE Championship match - Raw (2010)
The first big match between the WWE champ, John Cena and then masked CM Punk gets hijacked on Viewer's Choice Raw by The Nexus, an eight man gang featuring young upstarts from WWE's developmental territory, FCW as well as all being original contestants on the first NXT program.
While it was not totally chaos, the NXT rookies of the first season really shook things up for a pretty stale product that was WWE at this point. I remember watching this episode of Raw and thinking that something new was upon us. Of course, nothing really happened. The ring gets stripped, Bryan gets fired for chocking the timekeeper with his own tie, and then for weeks John Cena does that thing he always does; he overcomes the odds.
Still, the damage that the Nexus created from their ambush on Raw was pretty impressive for WWE standards. To bad they were pretty much destined to fail once they started feuding with Super Cena.
Theme results
Ring Destruction: Apron skirts ripped off, mat gets exposed, padding torn loose, and the ring ropes are loosened and taken down.

Theme Week - Ring Destruction
This week's theme is all about destruction not so much in the squared circle, but destruction of the squared circle. Whether it be kayfabe, a disaster, or just a shitty ring, every match will include some sort of modification to the wrestling ring. Example:
^This one was the result of WWE's 7 year rule; if something happened 7 years ago, it can just be done again and passed off as new.
