Z-Man
By now, you have probably heard that one of underground wrestling's most iconic jobbers and fan favorite, Z-Man, was in a very serious car accident this past weekend. Weekend Wrestling shared this info on their website:
"We were deeply saddened to learn that our very own Zman was involved in a fatal head-on auto accident last weekend. The driver of the other vehicle has been reported as having died at the scene.
Z is in critical, but stable condition in Intensive Care on a ventilator with multiple broken bones and internal injuries. He has had multiple surgeries and more are scheduled, but he will pull through. We want to wish him all the best for a full recovery, though we understand that it's going to be a long haul. We are there for him and his family in heart, mind and spirit through this difficult time"
I was shocked when I read this. I spoke with Pete, the photographer for Weekend earlier this morning and he had this to say about Z-Man:
"...he really is a GREAT guy who loves to entertain. He is personally a huge pro wrestling fan. His work ethic is stellar. He always has ideas and takes direction to a tee." He also told me Z-Man is incredibly kind and fun loving on the set, and also has a great sense of humor.
They have released one of his most recent matches against JBW and all the proceeds from the match through October 1st will go directly to Z Man and his family to assist with medical expenses for his road to recovery

I absolutely loved this match and it showcases why Z-Man has become such a staple over the years. He and JBW have some really great in-ring chemistry as well and it shows from start to finish. We also get some great back and forth, which we don't see often with Z. Here are just a few of my favorite (spoiler free) moments:
Lets show Z-Man how much the community loves and cares for him! Pick up this match today and help this underground legend on his road to recovery:
