Maybe this isn�t the right place to post this or whatever but if I posted it on the czw fans board id prob get flamed for my views so posting there is no use.

As of this moment Justice Pain is no longer a part of a company that he helped carry on his shoulders for the past 4 years. That company being CZW (Combat Zone Wrestling). When CZW held its first show on 2/13/99 in Mantua, New Jersey Justice Pain was in the main event in a 4 way Hardcore Match against Nick Gage, Domino, and the TCK. At that point he couldn�t have weighed more than a buck 60 and he looked to be about 17 years old. From the very beginning he had a lot of responsibility. He was in the semi main event position right away. But he handled it well having some memorable matches and at the beginning of 2000 getting the opportunity to wrestle in Japan. In the span of a few months he started gaining weight and A LOT of muscle mass. By late 2000 he gained a good 30lbs of muscle and became a legitimate heavyweight. Having a high profile and highly touted feud with Ric Blade which climaxed at �Caged to the End� where Pain lost to Blade by taking a 450 from the top of the cage putting him threw a table. It was one of the amazing bumps I have ever seen to this day. Then in on 9/9/00 in Sewell, New Jersey Pain defeated Lobo in the Cage of Death to capture his 1st Heavyweight Title. He was now the franchise of CZW he carried the company name everywhere he worked. To make a long story short Justice Pain has carried CZW on his shoulders for the past 2 years. Appearing in the main event slot more than 80% of the shows he was booked on. This past year was not his greatest but he still turned in some career great�s against The Messiah, Nick Gage, and Adam Flash. It is very sad to see him take off to CZW�s competition XPW. And it pains me even more after he said he had Messiahs back after his accident. But this is Indy wrestling and there are no contracts. Money is hard to come by in Indy wrestling, it�s a nickel and dime business so when guys like Rob Black are tempting you with guaranteed money and bonuses it must be hard to look away and say no. Well Pain I hope it was worth it because John Zandig will never welcome you back to CZW after sticking a knife in his back like that. But from a mark perspective and just being a big fan of your work I wish you all the success in the world in XPW because you have earned it.

POSTED: 03/03/04: More than a year ago, Justice Pain took a check over the company that he loved, being CZW. But now look where XPW is now. They're dead. Look where CZW is. They're expanding. All basically Pain did was wrestle in around five matches for XPW, which he only won one (or maybe two that I can remember), but lost all the others. The end for XPW came too soon, and now Pain is still desperate to find a job. But, XPW was trying to screw CZW over. XPW could have clearly gotten better wrestlers instead of Pain (Im not bashing Pain, he is a great, hard-working individual), but they didn't. More than a year has passed, and rumors are now popping up everywhere about Pain "rejoining" CZW. They're even saying he may be back, because the reason The Backseat Boyz left recently was because of "John trying to get Chris (JP) back." Apparently, Pain wasn't very appreciated in the locker room, due to his attitudes, and "getting everything his way." I really have doubts on Pain now, since his latest work in ROH was very sloppy and poor. The former 4-time CZW World Heavyweight Champion defitinely needs to get back in the gym and practice in the ring, especially if he wants to get hired again. Now time will tell, since CZW's 03/06/04 event in Philadelphia, PA will be between The Messiah and Zandig for the CZW World Title. Messiah has vowed to "sell his soul", and "the other Messiah will have no mercy" which brings up all these Pain rumors. Don't be surprised to see him back this weekend, which may turn out to be worse than good for CZW. Many workers have claimed to "leave" if he was brought back, and I hope Zandig convinces them to stay if this is the case. Thanks for reading, and if you want to know more about CZW, feel free to visit their website at www.czwwrestling.com Hope it helps, since the post was created a year ago. Thanks.
