SCAW Blood, Sweat & Tears

Blood, Sweat & Tears is a CAW wrestling event held annually by SCAW. The event has facilitated the rise to stardom of several top SCAW wrestlers. The first Blood, Sweat and Tears was held in Hartford Civic Center in Hartford, Connecticut. All editions of the event have been hosted in North American cities, with 10 in the United States and one in Canada.

Background
Blood, Sweat and Tears is considered SCAW's flagship event, having first been held in 2007. It has become the longest-running CAW wrestling event in history. It was the first of SCAW's original four click-per-views, which includes SCAW To Hell And Back, SCAW Internal Conflict and SCAW Dark December, which were eventually dubbed the "Big Four".

Organization
Blood, Sweat and Tears centers on the main event matches, primarily for the SCAW Championship. Other SCAW championships are also contested for, while the match card also includes gimmick matches and matches involving personal feuds. Since 2008, the winner of the annual SCAW Tournament has been able to receive a guaranteed SCAW Championship match at the same year's Blood, Sweat and Tears.

Innovations
Blood, Sweat & Tears (known chronologically as Blood, Sweat & Tears I) was the first SCAW mega event that was aired. Blood, Sweat & Tears IV is the first SCAW event that took place in a foreign country (Canada). Blood, Sweat and Tears VII was the last event of the SVR era and the first of the WWE2K era. The event has been used as a test bed for unique SCAW matches. These are the Tag Team Invitational and the Ultimate 4-Way match in part III, the Gauntlet for the Gold in parts V and VI, and the Zero-One Invitational in part 8. Only the Ultimate 4-Way has remained a staple.
