Notes: some portions of the crowd were very vocal in their hatred of Blue Flea.

3. In a match that had an average crowd reaction and some decent in-ring action, Cyanide defeated Killer B in 6:26 by pinfall with a Skull Splitter. Rating: 34

 

The following match is to determine the number one contender for the ZEN Conceptual Championship.

4. In an extremely poor match, Super Zero defeated SubUrban Legend, HalloWarped and Damian Dastardly in 8:48 when Super Zero defeated Damian Dastardly by submission. Rating: 36

 

5. C-W-A and Vertigo are in the ring, and are squaring off, unhappy about something. The argument soon turns physical, and they are joined by Shaolin and Toady for a wild brawl, with the chaos spilling out all around ringside. Eventually a number of officials and other wrestlers have to hit the ring and pull them apart before they kill each other. Rating: 20

 

6. Pumpkin Jack had an interview hyping his upcoming singles match with Mirror Universe John Gordon. Rating: 26

 

7. Vertigo is backstage with Classy Paul Massey. He asks to be given a chance to wrestle C-W-A in a balloon weapons match, and Massey accepts the request. Rating: 32

 

The following match is for the ZEN CONCEPTUAL CHAMPIONSHIP

8. In a match that had an average crowd reaction and some decent in-ring action, Mirror Universe John Gordon defeated Pumpkin Jack in 10:28 by pinfall with a Goatee Driver after Guru Vishni interfered and hit Jack with the Conceptual Championship. Mirror Universe John Gordon wins the ZEN Conceptual title. Rating: 42

Notes: Gordon was off his game tonight. Gordon and Jack have great chemistry. Guru did good work at ringside.

9. In a bout that had a good crowd and some decent in-ring action, X-War defeated Jester and Pink Spider in 13:57 when X-Calibre defeated Pink Spider by pinfall with a Sting In The Tail. X-War make defence number 3 of their ZEN Harmony titles. Rating: 45

Notes: X-Calibre was visibly tiring by the end.

 

The following match is for the ZEN Master Championship!

10. In a bout that had a good crowd and some decent in-ring action, Necromancer defeated Devilfish and Halloween Knight in 21:57 when Necromancer defeated Halloween Knight by submission with a Death Scream. Necromancer makes defence number 3 of his ZEN Master title. Rating: 55

 

Overall rating: 42

 

Notes: the general feeling is ZEN doesn't have enough interesting storylines going on. This show increased our popularity in one region.

 

As the post-show speech, I praised Necromancer, Devilfish and Halloween Knight for great performances.

Next time, at ZEN Way of the Scholar:

 

ZEN Master Necromancer defends his belt against one-half of the ZEN Harmony Champions, X-Calibre!

 

The other half of the Harmony Champions, Man O' War, isn't going to tolerate any nautical nonsense from his foe, Pink Spider!

 

Pumpkin Jack tries to bounce back in a match against the up and coming HalloWarped!

 

New ZEN Conceptual Champion Mirror Universe John Gordon defends his invisible belt against Shaolin!

 

And of course, CWA and Vertigo take the next step in their feud with a balloon weapons match!
