Danger Zone (2010)

Danger Zone (2010) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by the Extreme Wrestling Empire (EWE) promotion and presented by Zamzam. It took place on November 6th, 2010, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles California. The second event within the Danger Zone chronology, it was the only of three to be presented within brand extension regulations. A Genesis pay-per-view, it featured on its card six professional wrestling matches.

Details
The rivalry between Michael Tarver and Angel against the Rapture came to a peak during this event, as the reigning International champion Tarver would collide against the leader of the feared group, Sheamus, in a Last Man Standing match. A TLC match featuring Angel and Rapture member Blackout also took place during the event. Losing streaks culminated in a Loser Leaves Genesis match-up, as Bobby Lashley took on Dolph Ziggler. This pay-per-view event also featured the first ever First Blood Rumble match, which is an elimination match where the last man standing without shedding blood wins. This was later re-branded in 2015 as the Execution match and featured in the main event of the namesake pay-per-view.

The pay-per-view was a commercial success. Critically, it is considered by far the most superior of all three Danger Zone events, despite the eminence of Extreme Wrestling Empire as a company during its 2014-2015 run.

This was also the first EWE pay-per-view to get a TV-MA rating due to the violence and blood on display, especially during the First Blood Rumble and Last Man Standing matches. This was acknowledged by the heads of Genesis as a victory, as they were indeed trying to push the envelope as far as they could with this event..

Other details
Due to losing the Loser Leaves Genesis match, Dolph Ziggler was subsequently released from the brand.
