Japanese wrestlers make American tough guys look like girlie-men in this collection of no-holds-barred matches from the Far East. Punches and kicks are just a departure point for these fighters, who also use barbed wire, furniture, broken glass and other creative weapons to bring down their opponents; one wrestler even sets the ring on fire! This is a must-see for any real wrestling fan who wants to witness hard-core warriors in action.

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. Big Japan Pro Wrestling (BJW) wrestler Ryuji Yamakawa had hit the ring during the match and Zandig (who had spent lots of time that year wrestling for BJW) had lost due to Yamakawa's interference. The second Cage of Death was same cage as Cage of Death but its explosively electrified.
