5 must-watch Dean Ambrose matches before WWE

#1 Jon Moxley vs Nick Gage vs Drake Younger - CZW: Southern Violence, 2010

Taking place in one of the most unique venues of all time, this Falls Count Anywhere match truly did live up to the Southern Violence name as we witnessed one of the craziest and insane matches of all time.

Coming in as CZW Heavyweight Champion, Jon Moxley exactly proved the entire world why he is one of the best talkers and in-ring performers of all time and with the additional inclusion of the evergreen Nick Gage and the much brutal Drake Younger, this match had all the perfect elements for a classic CZW deathmatch.

This match was contested in a typical southern summer night with three men beating the living the hell out of each other, surrounded by a small, but passionate and vocal crowd who cheered on for all three men throughout the evening.

WWE fired her, but she started earning more than ever - Check out!

In the end, it was Gage who eventually picked up the win in a similar fashion (much like the previous triple threat match mentioned on this list) and walked away with the CZW World Heavyweight Title. But, by the end of the evening, it was Jon Moxley who received a huge ovation from the entire crowd for his crazy performance and his tank top by the end of the match speaks for itself.
