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:

Brody Merritt vs Scrappy - Weekend Wrestling

  Brody Merritt vs Scrappy - Weekend Wrestling I took a break from the blog for a while. No reason in particular, just wasn't in the mood to write. When I noticed Weekend Wrestling's latest release, I knew it'd be the perfect match to break me out of my mid-winter hibernation! Uh oh. Looks like Scrappy has gotten all caught up in some type of cult, and seems to be its apparent leader. I'm not sure who the two in the blue and red are. The brief glimpse of a calf tattoo on the cultist in blue wasn't much to go off of. We will see if these two run any interference later in the match.  Pre-match, good guy Brody does his best to talk Scrappy out of his newfound malevolent ways...but it doesn't go so well and Brody, through a defeat, may become Scrappy's newest follower 😮 Although resilient, Brody has been the fall guy a vast majority of his time spent in the Weekend Wrestling ring. If he wants to shake his reputation of being the rosters resident hunky jobber, a...

Percy Austin vs Forrest Taylor - Wrestle Studs

  Wrestle Studs came out of nowhere, at least for me. I stumbled across the Twitter/X account late last week. Wrestle Studs is an offshoot of Muscleboy Wrestling, with a clear focus on pro-style matches as opposed to MBW's steamy content. The roster as of now is split 50/50 between familiar underground faces and guys from the indies. You'll probably recognize several of the new faces if you are an indie wrestling fan in general. We've seen some of the bigger underground companies have a side-project that stems from the original, and they usually just end up getting absorbed back into the main website. If it sticks to the pro-style content, Wrestle Studs has a lot of great potential to stand up on it's own and could even attract other wrestlers that might shy away from the more bluntly erotic mat matches on MBW.

Dax Carter vs Joey McCoy - Muscleboy Wrestling

  I've never had any particular affinity for big vs little matches, but Joey McCoy has become a favorite of mine at MBW and I know a lot of guys really love size mismatches in a fight. So, I decided to take a look at Dax Carter vs Joey McCoy from the latest Muscleboy catalog. Dax Carter vs Joey McCoy - Muscleboy Wrestling   Even Dax has a hard time believing that Joey here is who he is scheduled to wrestle with on Muscleboy's iconic orange mats. This has all the signs of a mismatch squash with poor Joey at the receiving end. Fortunately for him, Dax takes just a little bit too long talking to the camera about his confusion and Joey takes full advantage. I'm so glad this is happening. It seems like many of the matches I've been watching lately have been one sided battles. While I love a good squash, it was starting to drift into the "too much of a good thing" realm and also becoming a bit boring for me personally. Watching Joey pummel, twist, and bend a man wh...
