The Tournament of Death VI was a high-octane professional wrestling event hosted by Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW). It took place on June 9, 2007, in Smyrna, Delaware.

From light tubes and ladders to barbed wire boards and no ropes, the competitors pushed their limits in pursuit of victory. The showdown saw Drake Younger in an ultraviolent divide & conquer 200 light tube lumberjack death match against Brain Damage.

A la fin des années 80, Randy Robinson, dit The Ram ("Le Bélier"), était une star du catch. Vingt ans plus tard, il ne se produit plus que dans des salles de gym de lycées ou des maisons de quartier... Brouillé avec sa fille, il est incapable d'entretenir une relation durable avec quiconque : il ne vit que pour le plaisir du spectacle et l'adoration de ses fans. Mais lorsqu'il est foudroyé par une crise cardiaque au beau milieu d'un match, son médecin lui ordonne d'abandonner le catch : un autre combat pourrait lui être fatal. Contraint de se ranger, il tente de renouer avec sa fille et, dans le même temps, entame une liaison avec une strip-teaseuse vieillissante. Pourtant, son goût du spectacle et sa passion pour le catch risquent bien de reprendre le dessus et de le propulser de nouveau sur le ring...

The first Cage Of Death was held on October 16, 1999, in Mantua, NJ where Lobo defeated Justice Pain in the first Cage of Death match for the Iron Man title. The first Cage of Death that could be a separate built unit or put on a ring with the ropes taken down. Two parallel sides of the cage are made of steel chain link fencing and the two others are made of steel bars. Inside the cage, littered in a ring, and attached to cage walls are full of different weapons (barbed wire, glass panes, cacti, tables, ladders, light tubes, trash cans, etc.) There is a scaffold across the top of the cage and elevated barbed wire boards on the outside of the ring.

Cage of Death II took place in Sewell, New Jersey on September 9, 2000. That night the Cage was host to two matches. In the first match, then CZW World champion Lobo defeated Zandig to retain his title.

The second Cage of Death was same cage as Cage of Death but its explosively electrified.
