On a new Josh Nason’s Punch-Out, allow me to introduce you to Zak Patterson, a 24-year-old indie standout from Quebec, Canada, who is on the cusp of becoming a bigger name on the scene.
In under four years, the product of a strong wrestling lineage has competed over 200 times and has already worked with some of the best out there like Jay White, Josh Alexander, Mike Bailey and KENTA, and has appeared for both AEW and ROH.
We talk about the aforementioned lineage, his match with White, career advice he got from Kevin Owens, and lots more. Previous “JN ID” prospects like Christian Casanova (aka WWE’s Carmelo Hayes) and reigning GCW Tag Team Champions Alec Price & Cole Radrick have gone on to big things and I expect the same with Patterson.
To end the show, I included a recent monologue from Wrestling Observer Live where I made the case that fans don’t have to be fully invested in ratings and business in order to enjoy the product.
