ZEN: Art of Grappling MAIN EVENT The Frat (Robbie Wright & House Party) vs The Regulators (Harry Allen, Bradley Blaze, & Deadly Deadshot) Crash Test vs The Outrageous Arona ZEN: Kinship Title Match The Golden Glory (c) vs Modern Justice Plus: Arona addresses QT PI!

THE ZEN NEWSWIRE YOUR UN-REGULATED SOURCE FOR HAPPENINGS IN ZEN: BOSTON! REGULATORS RUN ROUGHSHOD, WILL THE FRAT STRIKE BACK!? With the new faction known as The Regulators making a statement at United States of Action and (supposed) member Garry the Entertainer scoring a victory over Ash Barnaby at last week's Art of Grappling, many are wondering if The Frat are on the downturn in ZEN: Boston. When reached for comment leader Robbie Wright asserted that this was only the start of matters between the quartet and Duke Hazzard's newfound faction and in fact gave us the inside scoop that himself, Barnaby, and Zach Rudge would be taking on three members of the Regulators in this week's main event! More news as we receive it! KINSHIP TITLE MATCH SET FOR ART OF GRAPPLING, GOLDEN GLORY VOW TO GET TITLES BACK! As the rivalry between The Golden Glory and the Legends of the Sea heats up, the (actual) ZEN: Kinship champs are not taking their rivals' 'Open Challenge' lying down and have done their own challenging. Specifically they are allowing the men they won the titles from -Modern Justice- to have a crack at the belts again, even if the physical objects aren't in their possession. Will this superheroic bravado be their undoing? Tune in to find out! RUMORS OF A TRI-STATE INVASION? With United States of Love on the horizon, representatives of ZEN: Boston have announced a possible branching out into the ever-contentious Tri-State region! The area is home to the likes of old-school mainstay NYCW and the hardcore stylings of PSW, could there be room for one more or will we accidentally kick off another East Coast War? We call dibs on being RPW! ...except, y'know, we win this time! ...oh DAVID can be XFW, nobody likes them anyway.

ZEN: The Art of Grappling "Playtime's Over" Attendance: 427 (No more event attendance bump for us :c) Viewers: 96,787 On The ZEN NetworkThe show got off to a poor start for the ZEN Faithful as Duke Hazzard and ZEN Conqueror Champion Harry Allen made their way to the ring accompanied by Bradley Blaze and Deadly Deadshot. Riding out the boos of those in attendance, Hazzard bragged that last night was only the start of the latter half of his personal war against the absurdity running rampant in ZEN and he could ask for no better soldiers than the men in the ring. He named his new group The Regulators and put the roster on notice as after The Frat are dealt with, he'll be turning them loose on the rest of ZEN:B's denizens -it should be noted that it was at this point Garry the Entertainer ran down to the ring and quickly took a position next to Deadshot, waving Franklin's arm at the other three men and getting glared at in response- to make the company a proper 'rasslin' outfit for the first time in...Hazzard finally turned around and noticed Garry. Through gritted teeth he also noted that in tonight's event, Garry would be finishing off the only member of the Frat well enough to compete tonight -Ash Barnaby- and he would very much enjoy seeing it. Waving his men along, Hazzard retreated to the back as everyone except Garry shot dirty looks at the joyous entertainer.TYRONE GRAY VS A-MAZE-ING GRACEZEN Temple Dojo: Boston graduate A-Maze-Ing Grace came into this match with an acrobatic flair and a penchant for cheating that managed to keep his opponent on the backstep for a bit in the early goings but it soon became clear that Tyrone Gray had an experience advantage from working in MAW and 4C as well as his tutelage under the best trainers TCW had to offer. Countering a german suplex with a go-behind, one Tumbleweed was all it took to put an end to Grace's ambitions. WINNER VIA PINFALL: TYRONE GRAY Post-match Gray took the time to celebrate with some fans at ringside before finding himself confronted by Diamond Deuce who claimed that Gray's victory at United States of Action was an absolute fluke due to having the element of surprise. Deuce wanted a rematch at United States of Love in four weeks so he can show the world who the superior luchador is. Gray is quick to agree to this, seemingly eager to shut Deuce's mouth. STOLEN ZEN KINSHIP TITLES OPEN CHALLENGE THE LEGENDS OF THE SEA '(c)' VS THE GHOSTS OF RETRIBUTION The clear holders of the team experience advantage, Phantom and Poltergeist beat their opponents from pillar to post in the early goings of the match before a sneaky eye rake from Cap'n Crush managed to isolate Geist in their corner of the ring. Managing multiple kickouts, the resilience of Geist frustrates the pirates and led to a mistake as Swashbuckler missed a springboard moonsault attempt and Phantom was tagged in. Running wild on the Legends, Phantom nearly got the victory over Buckler with a Phantom Cross before the pin was broken up by Crush, leading Geist to enter the ring and attack him! As both teams brawled it out, Geist tossed Crush out of the ring and charged out after to brawl with him as his partner turned his attention back to Buckler while Arlene Lawler turned hers to the fight on the otuside. However, Buckler had claimed one of the Kinship belts and smashed the supernatural fighter across the face with it, stunning him long enough for an inside cradle to put him down for the dirty pin. WINNERS VIA PINFALL AND 'STILL' KINSHIP CHAMPS: THE LEGENDS OF THE SEA MELANCHOLY MOLLY VS SUPREME YOSHIDA A match up of the depressed vs the deranged as ZEN's resident sad sack did battle with the biggest fan of the Land of Supreme. Melancholly Molly's bizarre stylings initially threw off Yoshida's obnoxious tribute act but eventually she found herself overwhelmed when a lackadaisical response to a Strong-Up made Yoshida so angry that she immediately hit a New York Minute on Molly. Not finished there, she proceeded to lock in the Proton Lock on the poor woman and soon secured a tap-out victory, almost having to be pulled off the mope. WINNER VIA SUBMISSION: SUPREME YOSHIDA We then cut to the entrance area where the staff had setup the wacky playhouse set for the Garry and Franklin show! Garry took a few shots at Boston not having much luck in the football season to boos before introducing his guests, True Elegance and Kashmir Singh! The veteran and his proper allies seemed more than a little put off by the setting for this interview (not least because they were sitting in far too small plastic chairs) but at least pretended to be excited to interact with Garry. Garry questioned them about the Regulators, asking how they felt about the ad hoc police force Duke Hazzard had set up and how they...basically made the three of them obsolete, not that they weren't doing a good enough job of it themselves having failed to thwart the Frat at every turn. Before any of them could answer, Franklin butted in noting that it seemed like they'd be better off going their own ways rather than getting humiliated by such easily defeated opponents. Devonshyre spoke up at this point and protested that the Frat were not easily defeated, which Garry laughed off saying that yes they were and he'd easily defeated them as part of the Regulators. This prompted Singh to question if Garry was a member of the Regulators which prompted Franklin to throw a chocolate cupcake he'd been snacking on offscreen at him. Raising from his tiny chair in a rage, Singh had to be held back by security as Garry continued taunting him declaring that he -as a member of The Regulators, an official recognized member of the Regulators, and also host of his Regulators-sponsored show- did not need to answer such frivolous questions from a has-been like Singh. As Reinhardt and Devonshyre also stood and shouted insults at Garry, Franklin got in another shot at Kashmir as he was dragged away from the set: Franklin: "Why don't'cha go stick a finger in a light socket and get back some of that Eeeee-leck-triciteeee ya used ta have!? Ook-ah! Ook-ah! Ook-ah!" Singh managed to break away from the security and almost dove at the host before they got a hold on him again, forcing him and True Elegance to the back as Garry cackled in glee, wiping a fake tear from his eye. Rob and Mac questioned whether it was wise for Garry to alienate the allies of his faction like that but if it bothered the Entertainer he didn't show it, trotting out to the ring as the fans booed for his main event match up with Ash Barnaby... MAIN EVENT ASH BARNABY VS GARRY THE ENTERTAINER Ash Barnaby came out to the ring with taped ribs -no doubt a result of the assault he suffered in the dark last night- but not end of determination as he took on the ever-cocky taunter supreme. While he was somewhat limited in his usual high-flying offense, Barnaby kept on the Entertainer as best he could, answering eye pokes with enzugiris and back rakes with springboards. Franklin at ringside multiple times tried to help his best pal Garry by haranguing Barnaby and sometimes even trying to lob one of those cupcakes from earlier at him. This usually got him (and the staff member puppeting him) kicked at by Barnaby which allowed Garry to regain control with a cheap shot, however it was his final most devious gambit that would turn the tide of battle...for as Barnaby began to run the ropes for his signature springboard cutter Franklin threw: A BANANA PEEL ...that Barnaby sidestepped and just gave the monkey a 'really?' look before Jay Fair grabbed it off the canvas and went to dispose of it. That's when Garry kicked Ash between the legs and rolled him up with the tights firmly in his hand. Damn that monkey. WINNER VIA PINFALL: GARRY THE ENTERTAINER AND HIS AWFUL MONKEY Garry retrieved Franklin and celebrated over the ailing Fratboy, Franklin's obnoxious 'OOK-AH!' laugh ringing out even as Rob astutely noted not a single member of the Regulators came out to assist Garry in the match. Mac picked up on this as well but there's no more time to dwell on this as Art of Grappling comes to a close.

Please...god please...let Randy win...

MAIN EVENT Ash Barnaby vs Garry the Entertainer SUPREME Yoshida vs Melancholy Molly 'KINSHIP TITLE' OPEN CHALLENGE The Legends of the Sea '(c)' vs The Ghosts of Retribution A-maze-ing Grace vs Tyrone Gray Plus words from Duke Hazzard about the events of the ZEN Conqueror Title Match & The Garry 'n Franklin Show w/Special Guests: Kashmir Singh & True Elegance!

ZEN: Boston News Wire! The Top Stories Out Of United States Of Action! AFTERMATH OF CONQUEROR TITLE MATCH SENDS WAVES THROUGH THE WORLD OF ZEN! A shocking pair of debuts utterly changed the complexion of ZEN: Boston at United States of Action as Bradley Blaze and Deadly Deadshot made their presences felt by aligning with Sheriff Duke Hazzard and champion Harry Allen in a brazen blitz of interference that snatched the title away from Robbie Wright. It's all but been confirmed the two were also involved in the assault that took out the other members of The Frat earlier in the night and it seems as though perennial annoyance Garry the Entertainer may be involved in this burgeoning super group. Attempts to contact members of the Frat were unsuccessful though at the coming Art of Grappling Ash Barnaby is scheduled to face Garry the Entertainer in the main event. TYRONE GRAY MAKES SPLASH IN DEBUT, WHAT ARE HIGH ENERGY'S PLANS FOR THE FUTURE? The one debut of the night that didn't have something to do with the assault on Wright, Tyrone Gray triumphed over Diamond Deuce in impressive fashion! In an exclusive comment to the newswire, Gray confirmed he's here for the long haul and 'I'm heading straight to the top and the ZEN Conqueror belt, baby!'. Meanwhile Diamond Deuce was heard commenting 'That was a fluke, he took me by surprise, any other night Tyrone Gray is mine, you hear me!? Mine!' at newswire reporters despite literally none of us asking him even once. GRAND THEFT TITLE BELT ROCKS THE TAG TEAM RANKS, 'OPEN CHALLENGE' FOR ART OF GRAPPLING? Among several injustices that happened at United States of Action was the purloining of the ZEN Kinship belts from the rightful champs by The Legends of the Sea! The Golden Glory are keen to get their belts back but in an act of absolute disrespect, the thieving pirates have declared an open challenge for Art of Grappling for 'Their' Kinship titles. The Ghosts of Retribution have confusingly accepted the challenge but have made it clear they're just attempting to get the titles back to their rightful owners.

The United States of Action Attendance: 1225 Viewers: 100,640 on the ZEN Network "Good evening ladies and gentlemen I'm Rob L. Miskovsky with Mac Smith for ZEN: Bost-" "No time for intros, mate, we've got a proper pier six brawl going on!" Rob: "I wouldn't really classify True Elegance as brawlers, Mac." Mac: "Pier six is where they dock the yachts, mate!" TRIOS MATCH THE FRAT VS TRUE ELEGANCE & KASHMIR SINGH The rudo squad clearly had an advantage following the beatdown on Ade Nelson at the end of Art of Grappling, especially with Barnaby and Rudge arriving late to the party. Junior official Arlene Lawler only barely managed to get True Elegance and House Party out of the ring to properly start the match as Kashmir Singh locked in a torturous figure four leglock on Nelson. From there Singh and True Elegance work over Nelson with ruthless efficiency, keeping mindful of lucha tag rules to make sure he can't roll out of the ring as they kept him isolated. However it's a moment of cockiness by Devonshyre and Reinhardt that causes this plan to fall apart as Reinhardt attempted to hold Nelson in place for a flying clothesline by Devonshyre only for Nelson to collapse at the last moment and have the tag partners knock into each other. With the fans roaring for the tag, Nelson crawled across the ring, Kashmir Singh looking to stalk after him and grab at his injured legs but soon found himself sailing through the air into the Frat's corner from a monkey flip by Nelson, who dived to tag in Ash Barnaby! As the fans exploded, Barnaby hit the ring and began laying into every member of the rudo squad, with a forearm to lay out Singh, a european uppercut to Lady Devonshyre, and a big superkick to Reinhardt! As Reinhardt reeled, Barnaby quickly grabbed her for a fisherman neckbreaker and a pin-but both Singh and Devonshyre leaped onto him and commenced a beatdown! Not letting that stand, Rudge and Nelson ran into the ring to even the odds and an all out brawl ensued that Singh managed to take advantage of by low blowing Nelson in the fracas. Motioning to his comrades to dispose of Rudge and Barnaby, Singh turned his back and didn't notice their attempts to throw the Frat Boys from the ring were countered and the ladies went sailing out instead! Calling for his patented Cal-Cutter, Singh was shocked when Nelson managed the strength to push him out of the set up and into a double superkick by Barnaby and Rudge, laying the veteran out and allowing Nelson to shakily climb to the top rope and launch himself for the Custom Ade swanton bomb for the pin and the win for the Frat! WINNERS VIA PINFALL: THE FRAT Post match the Frat stop to celebrate before the cheering fans when- THE LIGHTS GO OUT! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! Mac: "What in the world is going on here!?" Rob: "I don't know but I don't like the sound of it, those were unmistakably chair shots, Mac!" Indeed when the lights come on all three Frat Bros are laid out in the ring with steel chairs scattered around. The crowd boos as True Elegance only now begin to stir to help Kashmir Singh out of the ring so it's pretty clear they weren't behind this, but who!? Mac: "A bizarre turn of events here, folks, who just assaulted The Frat!?" Rob: "A sickening display, Mac, I can't tell you who personally did the deed but if there's anyone who has the say so to turn those lights off it's our fearless leader, Duke Hazzard." Mac: "Another attempt to 'Even the odds' in the main event no doubt..." Rob: Emergency services are out here to get The Frat to the back now and if I was Robbie Wright right now I'd be watching my ba-" "Wow bad luck for the manchildren, huh folks?" Diamond Deuce had strutted his way out onto the ring and sidestepped the three Frat members being wheeled out on stretchers. Giving a theatrical shrug, he was roundly booed by the fans on his way to the ring. Deuce: "Sheesh Boston, why the hate? Is it because I'm beautiful? Is it because I'm the pinnacle of athleticism this sport? Oh no-I got it!" Deuce slid into the ring and smirked. Deuce: "It's my sterling work ethic! I work smarter, not harder, and that makes the chumps like you slaving away on that nine to five jealous! I know what you're thinking, 'Oh Diamond Deuce, you didn't win any matches to get here, you just threatened to spoil the show!', well lemme tell ya something you living nerd emoji, I am the benchmark that everyone in this company should measure themselves against and I deserve to slam the door in the face of whatever Johnny Come Lately tries to sneak on in. So to the newbie waiting in the back, come on down and sit under the learning tree and maybe I'll show you what a real luchador looks like in action!" Deuce threw down the mic and mugged for the camera, but his expression changed quickly when the name of his opponent came up on the ZENTRON 9TRILLION: IT'S TYRONE GRAY! The TCW Prospect-turned Canadian Standout combat rolled out onto the stage into a pose to the appreciative ZEN Faithful. Deuce recovered from the shock of the debut and began gesturing with all the bravado he could as Gray made a beeline for the ring and the match was on! DIAMOND DEUCE VS TYRONE GRAY A high octane matchup from the word go, despite the daunting pedigree of his opponent, Deuce was not going to back down and threw himself into a devil-may-care exchange of superfast maneuvers to start the match off. However, as it became clear Gray had the advantage in terms of experience, Deuce began going into his bag of tricks with a flurry of eye rakes, foot stomps, and every dirty pin attempt he could think of. With Gray off balance, Deuce attempted the Deuces are Wild electric chair driver, but Gray managed to wriggle free on Deuce's shoulders before smashing him with his patented Tumbleweed poison rana for the pin and the win! WINNER VIA PINFALL: TYRONE GRAY Mac: "Aces, Tyrone Gray debuting in impressive fashion here tonight!" Rob: "No wonder Hazzard was fine with him getting a match if that was what was waiting for him, Tyrone Gray definitely has a bright future ahead of him in ZEN! But now folks it's time for your ZEN Kinship title match as the Legends of the Sea seek to unseat the Golden Glory!" Mac: "The Golden Glory have never failed to impress in the ring but you gotta believe the Legends have more than a few thematically appropriate tricks up their sleeves." ZEN KINSHIP TITLE MATCH THE GOLDEN GLORY (c) VS THE LEGENDS OF THE SEA Whereas the trios bout earlier in the night was pure chaos, this one was far more focused on shenanigans and tomfoolery (probably because the dour American Justice wasn't around) as the do-gooders of the Golden Glory tried to reign in the cheating ways of their pirate foes. Time and again pouches of doubloons were deflected, cutlasses parried, and treasure chests sent to davy jones'...ringside area. It got the point where the two buccaneers were forced to use...actual wrestling moves (the horror), which ended up favoring the tecnico pair as they proceeded to hit Cap'n Crush with a wheelbarrow facebuster/diving leg drop combo Rob identified as 'All That Glitters' on commentary and secure the victory! WINNERS VIA PINFALL AND STILL ZEN: KINSHIP CHAMPIONS: THE GOLDEN GLORY Mac: "That's why the Glory are the champs, folks, a positively grand showing here tonight in Boston!" Rob: "The challengers have potential but as long as they rely on dirty tricks, I doubt they'll be getting...the...gold-wait what is he doing!?" Swashbuckler had seized the ZEN: Kinship titles as the champs celebrated their victory and slid one to a recovering Cap'n as he entered the ring. The duo nodded and proceeded to waylay Pig and Fox with their belts! The champs fell like sacks of flour as the pirates posed with the straps, high-fiving and leaving the ring with the belts like the thieves they were... Rob: "What!? I cannot believe this, those two didn't win the belts but they're running off with them!" Mac: "Rob, mate, we really should've seen this coming. Absolutely deplorable behavior from the challengers here tonight, coupla right buggers they are!" Rob: "And I doubt Hazzard is going to do anything to rectify this, ugh...let's just move on to the next match." AMERICAN JUSTICE VS CRASH TEST This match was...a mugging to be frank. Utilizing his mean streak to horrible effect, American Justice beat down on poor Crash Test from bell to bell, clearly using the fact Crash got bashed by a pouch of doubloons in the earlier trios bout to his advantage. That he ended the match quick with a disgusting diving headbutt wasn't the shocking part of all this, the shocking part was when he grabbed up Crash in the post match and proceeded to give him a russian leg sweep with his bat for further damage! Justice's crusade against Unamerican Activities has claimed its first full on victim and it's debatable if poor Crash will ever be the same... WINNER VIA PINFALL: AMERICAN JUSTICE Rob: "A disgusting display by American Justice, just a doubleshot of disgrace in these past two matches and we're not even talking about what happened to the Frat earlier tonight." Mac: "Can't agree more Rob but it's no use crying over Crashed Dummies, we've apparently got The Outrageous Arona backstage to say some words about his match with Cheetah Boy." We cut to backstage where- "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH~! PAPARONA, THE MEAN POINTDEXTRESS APPLIED HER PATELLA TO MY OBLONGATAAAAAAA!!!!" Glitch was apparently sobbing into the chest of- "Shhhh, hushashush my poor sweet boy, that fish will be fried another day." Glitch looked up at Arona, pouting. Glitch: "This you swear?" Arona: "This I swear. Now dry your ducts, my gorgeous gremlin and let your mind turn to plot and plan~." Glitch nodded and slinked away, his sobs turning to smirks. Arona: "Do you see that, ZEN Faithful? That was called being a father, something Cheetah Boy could never do, could never do because he was a boy and not a man like me. You Cheetah-printed peon you thought sending paychecks back was enough, mere lucre substituted for the throwing of pigged skin, of cooking burnt burgers upon the grill? I mean my hair would catch fire, but there are principles to such things and you did not observe them! You didn't raise me so now I will proceed to raze everything you hold dear on my way to ascension, to glory, to GOLD~. My creation was the only thing of value you brought into this world, and it will lead to you exiting it. I am the Outrageous Arona, and I am the god that the ZEN Faithful pray to!" Throwing back his head to do an ojou laugh, Arona exited the frame, Glitch turning around and following after once he realized he was going the wrong way. THE OUTRAGEOUS ARONA VS CHEETAH BOY The ZEN faithful felt particularly sacrilegious with their 'god' today as he received a plethora of boos on the way to the ring, his follower Glitch snapping and arguing with them along the way as he skulked Gollum-like on the outside. Cheetah Boy meanwhile arrived to a far more positive reaction which he certainly rubbed in his rebellious son's face. Once the bell rang it was a case of youthful fury against veteran instinct as Arona repeatedly found himself outmaneuvered and outplayed by his old man, eventually finding himself locked in a mexican surfboard hold that he only barely managed to escape! Off his game, Arona fell prey to a humiliating series of pinning predicaments that almost sent his wig-er, sorry-completely natural hair flying until he finally had enough and took a powder on the outside. As Glitch rushed over to check on his 'Papa', Cheetah Boy looked to the crowd who definitely knew what he was thinking and cheered in kind. Hopping excitedly, the old cruiserweight went for a suicide dive- -and wiped out Glitch who Arona pulled in the way! Moving to stand up, CB only had a moment to process what had happened before he took a sickening superkick from Arona, who proceeded to toss him back into the ring. From there Arona luxuriated in causing pain to Cheetah Boy, smashing him down in a backbreaker and working it as a submission hold, occasionally bashing his father's midsection with axehandle blows! When that failed to get him a tap out, Arona moved on to a torturous tarantula hold in the corner, releasing and reapplying it to avoid a DQ from Jay Fair. With CB on the ropes, Arona decided to ascend them for his patented moonsault senton finisher when he found himself drawn into an argument with fans at ringside, distracting himself long enough for his father to recover and climb the top rope for a sudden ring-shaking superplex! As Arona tried to stand, CB began going on the warpath with repeated running cross chops that sent his son to the mat again and again, finishing his chain of attacks with a massive brainbuster that had Arona reeling! Now it was CB's turn to ascend the top rope, willing his son to stand and take the devastating Flying Cheetah Pounce but...as Arona did... He tossed his wig into the face of Jay Fair, blinding the ref and causing him to miss Glitch hopping on the apron and shaking the ropes, causing CB to crotch himself! Cackling like a madman, Glitch shoved CB forward so he'd flop directly into the center of the ring. With Jay Fair none the wiser, Arona once again climbed to the top and smashed his father with the Moonsault Senton! Jay Fair, no incidentally WEARING Arona's wig, had no choice but to count the pin...and then get the wig snatched again but a less than amused Arona. A third miscarriage of justice at United States of Action in as many matches, in a row even! Glitch entered the ring to celebrated with his master and the two basked in the boos of the fans all the way up the ramp, happy to have won in such a dirty fashion like the rudos they were. WINNER VIA PINFALL: THE OUTRAGEOUS ARONA Rob: "Arona living up to his name here tonight, an outrage in every meaning of the word!" Mac: "And give the assist to Glitch, despite getting used as cannon fodder, he came back and played his part in Arona's victory masterfully." Rob: "I am aghast, ladies and gentlemen, how many more infractions is Hazzard going to put up with?" Mac: "How many more is he gonna cause?" Rob: "Well we may get an answer, it appears that there's a commotion going on in the Sheriff's office, let's take a look!" Indeed, backstage we see a man walking with purpose towards the Sheriff's office- ROBBIE WRIGHT The King of Charisma stormed towards the door and looked none too happy. Cameraman: "Robbie, how are you feeling after the events earlier in the evening?" Wright: "How am I feeling? How would you feel if guys YOU considered brothers were beat on in the dark like some two-bit monster movie, eh? Nah nah this ends right now. HAZZARD!" Wright kicked the door down and stormed into the office to find- An incredibly odd assemblage... Garry The Entertainer: "And so I said 'THAT'S THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP!'" Franklin: "Wuzzat before or aftah the soda can domed me and ya buttahfingered me into a puddle?" Harry Allen: "A fine tale, I am quite amused." Harry Allen was clearly not amused, less so now that his challenger had kicked his manager's door down. Hazzard: "Ah Mr. Wright, to what do I owe the pleasure?" Robbie stormed up to the desk Hazzard had his feet kicked up on and pointed in the sheriff's face. Wright: "Is this how you do business around here, Hazzard? You make my friends fight a match after one of them gets beat down then you have them get beat down again in the dark once they win your little game?" Hazzard: "I don't rightly know what yer talkin' about." Wright: "Oh I think you do, I'm not an idiot." Franklin: "Ya sure? Cuz I'd think a fella who let his best pal broskis get bonked is kind of a dingus!" Wright: "Stay outta this, Garry!" Garry: "I am, it's not my fault Franklin's opinionated." Hazzard: "Mr. Wright I do declare yer comin' at the wrong fella 'bout all this. Why anyone coulda laid a beatin' on yer friends in the dark there, why just a few moments later Mr. Tyrone Gray made his first appaerance, who's to say he didn't feel like taking out some of his competition to the spotlight? I know Mr. Arona's little friend Glitch to have a gremlin-like tendency or two, perhaps he was playin' with wires in the back." Wright: "That's a load of crap and you know it!" Wright jabbed his finger in Hazzard's face and suddenly the champion decided to put himself between his manager and his challenger, stonefaced. Harry: "What's the matter, boy? Feelin' scared now that your friends can't help you?" Garry: "We told him, didn't we Franklin? Friends are tools and you gotta use 'em." Franklin: "Cuz when ya don't use 'em, ya lose 'em~" Garry: "And that makes you a losER, Robbie Bobbie Puddin' Pie!" Wright: "You three listen to me, before tonight this was just about me winning that belt fair and square, but if me and the guys find out you had a hand in that attack earlier? It's gonna be a war, and we at the Frat, we don't start wars, we finish them, understand?" Franklin: "War? Huh! Yeah." Garry: "What is it good for?" Franklin: "Crushing your enemies, seeing them driven before you, and hearing the lamentations of their romantic partners?" Garry: "See this is why I don't take you to karaoke night." Franklin: "Coward! GAH!" Robbie grabbed Franklin and tossed him at Garry, bowling them both over. Harry scoffs and looks at Hazzard. Hazzard: "Yer complaints have been noted, now are ya gonna keep muggin' that there muppet all night're do ya have a match to get ready fer?" Wright: "Feh..." Robbie stormed out, leaving Garry to try and disentangle himself from his errant puppet and Harry and Hazzard to give each other a meaningful look as we cut back to- "And that brothers and sisters is why fracking will turn this world into an unsaveable hellscape!" Fans: "WE AGREE!" Century: "Also you smell bad!" Fans: "BOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Mac: "Ya ever feel like this here fella has a point but he's kinda just too much of a jerk for people to get on board?" Rob: "From the day I first met him, Mac." Travis Century and Modern Justice have set up shop at ringside, picketing with their various signs as their leader gave his sermon against the iniquities of man that...frankly every agrees with but they're just...such...buttholes about it. Like you ever have an argument with someone that not really an argument because you agree with them but they SUPER wanna have an argument still? Like that. Hopefully someone would come along and save the fans from this annoyance... Voice: "YO GIMME A BEAT!" "Yo this is a story All about how My life got flipped Turned upside down So I'd like to take a minute I swear I won't be tardy I'll tell ya how I came to win the ZEN Right to Party!" Dancing out on stage in picture perfect Fresh Prince cosplay was Stereo, the ZEN Right to Party champ and he was using that right to its fullest tonight. Stereo: "Montgom'ry Alabama Born and raised Thought the squared circle Was where I'd spend most of my days Flippin' out wrasslin' with lucha so blinged And doin' some topes up outta the ring When a quartet of clowns Who actin' real rude Started makin' trouble for your favorite dude I won one lil fight with a mope and a smarty They said 'Sterry you just won the ZEN Right to Party'!" Stereo danced down to the ring as Modern Justice mean mugged him...except for his challenger T-Bone Tucker who'd started getting into it until a glare from Century sent him back into stoic bodyguard mode. Undaunted, Stereo continued. Stereo: "I pull up to this ring 'bout the main event or semi And yell to the fans 'Yo buds if ya lemme 'I'll hang out with ya'll cuz ya know I'm hardy 'But first lemme defend my ZEN Right to Party!'" In the ring, Stereo punctuated his performance with a pitch perfect spinaroonie and posed to an ovation from the crowd. Century: "GET HIM!" ZEN RIGHT TO PARTY TITLE MATCH STEREO (c) VS T-BONE TUCKER Another rather silly matchup as Stereo started out the match on the losing side of thing, being 'manhandled' and 'tossed around' by the world's smallest bigman in the 4' 6" Tucker. With Modern Justice at ringside like a pack of hyenas, things seemed to very much be in the former Right to Party Champion's wheelhouse until Stereo countered a 'powerslam' by just kind of slipping away and starting to gyrate. Tucker's attempts at lariats and axehandles were avoided through the power of 90's breakdancing as Stereo outmaneuvered his foe at every juncture. An increasingly frustrated Century at ringside called for Ollie Basham and Johnny Chapman to get involved when QT PI (dragging along a rather unenthusiastic Melancholy Molly) came down to ringside to avoid the reverend making a fourth match in a row end in shenanigans! As the tecnico duo cleaned house at ringside, Tucker ate an Emancipation Proclamation axe kick for a comfortable win for the champ. WINNER AND STILL RIGHT TO PARTY CHAMPION: STEREO Mac: "Well goodness Stereo was lucky he's got friends like Molly and QT to help him out of a jam." Rob: "The same cannot be said for Robbie Wright who's going into our main event like Joseph into the Lion's Den. Harry Allen and Duke Hazzard have him two to one!" Mac: "And that's not even countin' whoever's been skulkin' in the dark tonight...oh and Garry I guess." Rob: "Garry's a former ZEN Conqueror in his own right, don't let his antics deceive you." Mac: "Fair enough, I hear he's got a mean left...mostly because it's jammed up the bottom end of that rude puppet all the time." ZEN CONQUEROR TITLE MATCH HARRY ALLEN (c) VS ROBBIE WRIGHT The King of Charisma was all business stepping into this match with something to prove and a furious way about himself, brawling with the champ in the early goings and getting himself more than a few chidings from Jay Fair. Eventually he clotheslined Allen out of the ring and stepped out onto the apron to get a running start and nail the champ with a diving axehandle! As Allen reeled, Duke Hazzard made his presence known by loudly trashtalking the challenger while waving his cheap cigar around. Wright took the time to exchange words with the Sheriff and soon regretted it as Allen smashed him with a clubbing blow to the back and a toss into the barricades at ringside! With the ref growing close to a 20 count, Allen stomped on Wright's calf and ducked into the ring, leaving the challenger to limp into the ring at 17 and immediately take a knee drop to that same leg! In a manner similar to Kashmir Singh's strategy, Allen focused his assault on Wright's leg with stomps, knee drops, and even the torturous Texas spinning toehold! However, Wright managed to break free by booting the champ in his USDA Prime rump roast during one of his rotations, sending him chest first into a corner and rebounding back for a schoolboy rollup and a nearfall! With the champ off his rhythm, Wright began to unload with his more sophisticated offense, bashing the champ with an array of suplexes, clotheslines, and even a tornado ddt that only Duke Hazzard placing Allen's boot on the bottom rope saved him from a loss. Getting thoroughly annoyed with Hazzard's interference, Wright leaned over the top rope and snatched the Sheriff's hat, revealing quite a bald spot on the top of his head that Hazzard struggled to cover up. Waving the ten gallon over his head, Wright slammed it down around Allen's ears and began setting him up for the Wright Move when... Mac: "WAIT A MINUTE WHO'RE THEY!?" Two men hopped the barricade, one masked, the other with his own cowboy hat down over most of his face. Wright is distracted by the masked newcomer and doesn't see- WHAM! A steel chair smash across his back! Jay Fair can only call for the disqualification as the fans boo this sudden assault. Rob: "Wait I can see the gentleman in the mask now I think that's-" THE LUCHA ASSASSIN, DEADLY DEADSHOT! Mac: "And the guy in the duster and cowboy that's-no way that's-" "THE DALLAS COWBOY" BRADLEY BLAZE As Wright writhed on the mat, Blaze angled his chair and slammed it down on the leg Allen had been working earlier. Wright cried out in agony, holding his leg, easy prey for Deadshot who slid in the ring and hauled him up for a piledriver! Together the two assailants pointed to Harry Allen who looked briefly perplexed before handing Hazzard his hat back and scaled the top rope to add insult to injury with his Diving Fist Drop! Hazzard cackled with delight, waving his hat over his head- AND THEN THESE TWO JERKS SHOWED UP Garry rolled into the ring with Franklin and posed with the quartet, all smiles as he grabbed up Allen's own hat to put on Franklin who began shouting 'Howdy howdy howdy!' as the boos rained down and...everyone else looked at him with a mixture of bemusement and annoyance. Still, the enemy was defeated despite what the record books would say and this bizarre group of three cowboys, a hitman, an entertainer, and his monkey stood tall as the show went off the air... WINNER BY DISQUALIFICATION: ROBBIE WRIGHT STILL ZEN CONQUEROR CHAMPION: HARRY ALLEN

I will never forget Pineapple Pete no matter how much he very much wants me to!

United States of Action MAIN EVENT ZEN CONQUEROR TITLE MATCH Harry Allen (c) vs Robbie Wright ZEN RIGHT TO PARTY TITLE MATCH Stereo (c) vs T-Bone Tucker Cheetah Boy vs The Outrageous Arona Crash Test vs American Justice ZEN KINSHIP TITLE MATCH The Golden Glory (c) vs The Legends of the Sea Diamond Deuce vs A Debuting Luchador The Frat (Ash Barnaby, Ade Nelson, & Zach Rudge) vs True Elegance (Jean Reinhardt & Lady Devonshyre) & Kashmir Singh

ZEN: Art of Grappling "A Fair Fight" Attendance: 1225 Viewers: 97, 464 On The ZEN Network We begin with footage recorded earlier in the day as Robbie Wright is entering the building, the leader of the Frat has been doing so ever since he made a point of going it alone against Harry Allen and he's kept his word so far. However, he's approached by Garry The Entertainer who has Franklin T. Monkey on his shoulder! The two harass the number one contender to the Conqueror title as not realizing the value of: AKA having people around to beat the breaks off whoever you don't like. And that's the problem with Robbie, he doesn't realize he has three minions on call to do whatever he wants and- Robbie casually chucks a soda can at Franklin's face, causing the monkey to somersault end over end out of Garry's grasp land flat in a puddle. As Garry reacts in horror, Robbie steps up and tells the Entertainer that when he has friends that aren't made of felt, he'll get why Robbie's doing things his own way. Ruffling Garry's hair, Robbie walks away as the most annoying man in ZEN falls to his knees like he's mourning a fallen comrade...while Franklin angrily yells at him to pick back up. MATCH #1: MODERN JUSTICE VS THE GHOSTS OF RETRIBUTION The Ghosts are a storied team in ZEN: Boston, though they have never held the Kinship belts. Meanwhile Modern Justice's Basham and Chapman lost the titles only recently in November and racked up a reign that saw them tie for the third largest amount of defenses with 8. While Phantom and Poltergeist were keen to start the new year off with a bang, Travis Century at ringside was the deciding factor as his protest sign this week ("Make Love, Not Lucha") turned out to be more kendo stick than regular stick and he bashed it into the back of Phantom while T-Bone Tucker distracted the ref, allowing Chapman to take the ghost out with an Apple Gore for the pin! WINNERS VIA PINFALL: MODERN JUSTICE Post-match, Century proclaims that 2022 is the year of JUSTICE as tonight T-Bone Tucker will end the trifling reign of Stereo and reclaim the Right to Party. He hopes the ZEN Faithful are ready for an era of sit-ins and picket lines because their time of living in ignorance is finally coming to a close as Tucker flexes his...frankly ill-defined muscles. MIKE FUNK VS SUPREME YOSHIDA Funk is a man who has never really had much success in ZEN and tonight was not a night for that as SUPREME Yoshida absolutely ran through him with her 'tributes' to her beloved Land of Supreme, ultimately taking him down with a Strong Arm Tactic before scaling the top rope and positively smashing him with her diving elbow drop. An academic win for the woman voted 'Most Likely To Scale The Fence And Require A Police Response' in the Supreme University yearbook. WINNER VIA PINFALL: SUPREME YOSHIDA AMERICAN JUSTICE & THE LEGENDS OF THE SEA VS CRASH TEST & THE GOLDEN GLORY In a preview of two matches occurring later in the night at United States of Action, American Justice (and his bat) gave Cap'n Crush and Swashbuckler their letters of marque to take the fight to Crash Test and The Golden Glory in a trios bout of pure chaos. While there was less of a styles clash for the tecnico squad, the rudos had the benefit of the shared language of 'cheating bugger' and a Swashbuckler was able to suckerpunch Crash Test with a pouch full of doubloons behind head official Jay Fair's back for a dirty victory for the rudo group ahead of his and Crush's title match at the event. WINNERS VIA PINFALL: AMERICAN JUSTICE & THE LEGENDS OF THE SEA GLITCH VS QT PI A battle of chaos against reason with the frenetic pace to match, QT PI has been on a roll even after losing the Right to Party in November while Glitch is sitting pretty as the go-to guy for his master The Outrageous Arona. Glitch proves a particularly crafty opponent, using his height advantage to lock in a series of submission holds as well as toss PI around. However, one doesn't win the Right to Party on a fluke and PI managed to slip her way out of a powerbomb and hop to the top rope afterwards, blasting Glitch with a missile dropkick and proceeding to blitz him with her high-speed offense until finishing him off with her patented Knee+Head=Defeat. WINNER VIA PINFALL: QT PI Backstage Duke Hazzard, the Sheriff of ZEN:Boston, is seen making his way to the ring in order to address tonight's title match between Robbie Wright and Harry Allen when he is stopped by the ever-cocky Diamond Deuce. Deuce chides Hazzard for leaving him off United States of Action, for ignoring a can't miss prospect like himself for years now, and most importantly: Leaving his paperwork open in his office. Hazzard's body locks up as Deuce tells him he knows about all the debuts he has planned for tonight and makes his case plain: Give him a match on United States of Action or he plays the spoiler in front of the whole ZEN Faithful audience. Hazzard grits his teeth but relents and offers him a match against one of said debuting talents as a chance to show his stuff. Deuce laughs and accepts before walking off, leaving Hazzard to fume before heading towards the ring... ADE NELSON VS KASHMIR SINGH Well-traveled veteran Kashmir Singh went into this match with a gameplan, and that plan was to destroy Ade Nelson's knee! At every turn and chance he could muster he went for the knee and when he couldn't he was going for a cheap shot that opens up the knee to further punishment. Ade, however, quickly figured out his opponent's game and began countering the various attempts by Singh into pinning combination after pinning combination that threw the former Mr. Electricity off his game. Nelson seemed to be poised for victory when he hit an enzugiri off a trapped leg by Singh and scaled the top rope for his Custom Ade finisher, but suddenly True Elegance (Lady Devonshyre & Jean Reinhardt) made their presences felt by storming the ring and tossing him off the top rope to land on his back in the middle of the ring. Jay Fair called for the disqualification as Elegance and Singh began putting the boots to Nelson! WINNER VIA DQ: ADE NELSON As the beatdown continues in the ring, Duke Hazzard stepped out onto the stage with his mic in hand, at first sour but growing a smirk seeing what was happening. Hazzard announced that his check against the clear numbers advantage Robbie Wright had against Harry Allen was what was going on in the ring, or rather what was about to happen in the ring. United States of Action was going to begin with a Trios bout pitting Ade Nelson, Ash Barnaby, and Zach Rudge against Singh and True Elegance, so he hoped that Nelson's partners were quick because the match was gonna start RIGHT THEN!

ZEN: The Art of Grappling Your Pre-United States of Action Warmup Show! MAIN EVENT Kashmir Singh vs Ade Nelson Glitch vs QT PI Crash Test & The Golden Glory vs American Justice & The Legends of the Sea Mike Funk vs SUPREME Yoshida Johnny Chapman & Ollie Basham vs The Ghosts of Retribution (Phantom & Poltergeist) Plus: Words from Duke Hazzard about tonight's title match!

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM ZEN: BOSTON! United States of Action (FKA Way of the Believer) is this Sunday following your pre-show edition of The Art of Grappling! We at the ZEN: B offices know that the new year is a time when a lot of eyes are on our little company and we want to get you all up to speed on what's going on here at ZEN: Boston! There was a time when the American Avenge-sorry, American Justice was a caring crusader for all the Red White and Blue stood for. However, his recent turn towards vigilantism against perceived 'Unamerican Activities' has been positively brutal, and if you don't believe us just ask poor Crash Test whose been feeling the affects of Justice's bat for weeks. Can the most fearless man in ZEN put an end to this hoodlum's reign of terror? The Golden Glory have held the Kinship belts a record tying three times in their time in ZEN, the superheroic duo of gilded animals have made it their mission to rule the tandem ranks with their own brand of agile acrobatics. However, it looks like there's storm clouds on the horizon as rookie wrestler Swashbuckler has found a mentor in the 'Cereal Killer' Cap'n Crush as the piratical pairing known as the Legends of the Sea, and they've made it their mission to plunder the Kinship belts from the champs and their victory in a number one contender's match in late december might just prove they have what it takes. When he began his tenure as the Sheriff of ZEN: Boston, Duke Hazzard laid down a law: If you wanna party, you have to fight for it! Thus the Right to Party has been a coveted prize among those who wish to bring the fun or destroy it entirely. Such is the case with Modern Justice, the activist organization ran by the Reverend Travis Century, who seek to hold the party ransom until their demands on met...by like, the government? I don't think Duke Hazzard has sway with Bo Jiden, Pastor, but you do you. Unfortunately that belts been hot-potatoing its way around the a series of fierce competitors and no matter what Century and his goons try they just can't seem to get their hands on it. With the current champ, the ever irreverent Stereo, teaming up with two former holders of the right in ZEN's favorite sad sack Melancholy Molly and the Mirthful Mistress of Mathematics QT PI, it seems like they may never get to bring the party to an end... Cheetah Boy has had a rough go of things since debuting for ZEN, mysterious misfortunes and technical mishaps have plagued him at every turn and all signs pointed to the living gremlin: Glitch. However, what Cheetah Boy could not have known was a greater threat lurked behind the facepainted weirdo...another MORE painted MORE weird guy! Specifically Cheetah Boy's own son, The Outrageous Arona! The flamboyant pink punk has since declared it his intent to retire his pops and create a world where neon pink is always superior to cheetah print. Ghastly. Once upon a time the ZEN: Boston faithful only had eyes for one man, and his name was Mr. Electricity. Easily the most enthralling fighter on the roster, Mr. Electricity had the crowd in the palm of his hand but then... Well this happened. Growing jealous of the generally beloved Frat Boys, Mr. Electricity declared the fans fickle and took on a new old name: Kashmir Singh! Feuding with the fun-lovers afterwards, he has since enlisted the help of the high-falutin pairing of True Elegance. Funded by the two rich girls in a quest to class up the joint, will Robbie Wright's newfound attempt at getting main event gold be enough for them to take advantage and take the stable out? Back in the latter days of 2021 "Good 'Ole" Harry Allen shocked the world by joining forces with Duke Hazzard to upset DareSheDevil in a ZEN Conqueror title match and begin a crusade against the 'Tomfoolery' that makes ZEN what it is! It only got worse when the veteran and the Sherriff did the unthinkable and defeated SheDevil in a Loser Leaves ZEN match, removing her TOTALLY from the wrestling scene! However, things weren't all roses for the champ as when Hazzard threw Allen a party to celebrate their success it was crashed by both The Fraternity AND former ZEN Conqueror champion Garry The Entertainer (also Franklin the Monkey was there too). While the Frat has kept things fair by choosing Robbie Wright to go after Allen's title after a high stakes rock-paper-scissors tournament, Hazzard has remained adamant that the numbers advantage is against the spirit of Americana he embodies and a shaky alliance with Garry has seen both men gang up on the King of Charisma. Will Wright surmount these odds? Will he rely on his bros to get his own numbers advantage? Find out when Robbie Wright challenges Harry Allen for the Conqueror Title at ZEN: United States of Action!

ZEN: Boston, a subsidiary of the worldwide (except for Mexico, they know what they did) phenomenon known as ZEN: Art of Wrestling. One of the more troubled members of the ZEN Network, a reliance on talent loans in their earlier days caused a strain on worker resilience and talent raids made off with beloved homegrown stars like DareSheDevil. However with the cocaine-laced decline of USPW and the ZEN Network as a whole buoying their financials, ZEN: Boston has a chance to take the indy scene of America by storm...all it needs is to keep its more recent stars on the payroll. In the case of one a more 'creative' hand is taken. "MEET YOUR NEW BOOKER, BOYS, GERKS, AND NON-BINARY JERKS!" NOT YOU! "Technically the position is 'Senior Creative Consultant'." "BUT FOR GAME MECHANIC PURPOSES-" "Hush!" ...look at least Jack Bruce isn't gonna steal him this way.

Question can anyone take this fine lady: And make 'TOTAL' and 'DANGER' versions of her headband? I like the idea of running a gimmick where she changes her style and character under certain circumstances

Steal the sheeps from CGC

Oh yes

Not Bob Shrunkle!

Comeback Poison whippo Robby Angry Blondes …Frey, I don’t got a cutesy name

Just gonna throw this request out here: Jimmy P and Donnie J in bomber jackets.
