Backstage Pass with Matt Tremont

One of RF Video’s most anticipated new series is our exclusive ‘Backstage Pass’ series which we have recently started shooting on-site with our partners at Combat Zone Wrestling. One of the first editions in the new series was filmed in August at CZW’s event with one of the most popular hardcore stars in all of wrestling, ‘The Bulldozer’ Matt Tremont! While Tremont is still a relative newcomer to the upper levels of Independent wrestling, he has already made quite the name for himself, singlehandedly bringing about a renaissance of Ultraviolence and spreading it across not just the entire country, but the world. The Bulldozer first made a splash in CZW two years ago at the annual Tournament of Death, which has long been the measuring stick of Ultraviolence and the most prestigious tournament in all of deathmatch wrestling. Since then, Tremont has competed in hardcore wars all over the country and Europe, even taking home the trophy at IWA East Coast’s Masters of Pain just a year ago. Tremont has gone toe to toe with the biggest names in the deathmatch world, including the Necro Butcher, Big Japan’s Abdullah Kobayashi, MASADA, Danny Havoc and more. In December 2012, he headlined one of the biggest events in independent wrestling when he defeated DJ Hyde in the main event of CZW’s Cage of Death in one of the bloodiest battles of the year in front of over 1000 fans. And on the August night in the Combat Zone when we went behind the curtain with Tremont, he teamed with one of his idols in ECW original Tommy Dreamer in a 6-Man Tag Team Match which he follow via “fan-cam” and include on this release. As part of this edition of RF Video’s ‘Backstage Pass’ – we go behind the curtain and CZW with Matt Tremont and take you backstage and show you how the Bulldozer prepares for another hardcore war in front of some of indy wrestling’s toughest fans. We will show you what goes through the mind of one of the most intense invididuals to emerge on the wrestling scene in years and let you see what a day is like behind the scenes for one of CZW’s biggest stars. In addition, we also sat Tremont down for an exclusive 2 hour shoot interview that covers his entire life and career, from the streets of Atlantic City to the Cage of Death and across the pond to Germany where he continues to build an ever-growing legacy.
