I remember the old Wrestling Observer shows from back in the day and Tom Zenk was really hilarious. He was the original shoot interview guy before it was cool. Then he just disappeared. Many speculated that Vince McMahon threatened to sue him because of his scathing articles that he posted on his website. I was thinking about him today and did an internet search and I just found out that he passed away a number of years ago. RIP

Z man was a great guy. Fair, straight shooter, sense of humor, not like many of today’s bookers. He should’ve gotten involved behind the scenes but higher ups hated him bc he was brutally honest. Rip Tom

Or after hearing more of this podcast, bc Tom was a private man, he could’ve been a commentator. What a hilarious man!!!
I'd believe Zenk over any other shoot interviewee.
Tom Zenk RIP ☠️🙏 12/9/2017
Epic shit from Zenk
Tom called Dave Meltzer the 'most credible man in the industry'. Man, that comment hasn't aged well.
