In part 1 last week - 1991 was a year of fast and furious angles for Tom Zenk. He held and dropped the WCW Television Championship, feuded - then allied - with Bobby Eaton in another feud withTerry Taylor, before undertaking a long and frenzied feud with The Diamond Studd (Scott Hall). The latter provided an ongoing sub-text for the The Z-Man for the remainder of the year. With Borne and Rhodes, Z held the 6-Man Tag Team title. He battled and defeated Oz and was booked to job to Ric Rude ("The WCW Phantom") at Halloween Havoc '91. So now It's the fall of 1991 and The Z-Man, weighing in at a substantial 261 lbs is scheduled to wrestle Mr Hughes, 'bodyguard' to World Heavyweight Champion, Lex Luger. Hughes is accompanied to the ring by Harley Race. Luger had recently turned heel, attacking the Z-Man, Sting and other former friends. Zenk had accused Luger of turning his back on all the fans who had supported him in the past. In Part 1 last week, Luger came looking for an apology from The Z-Man, who, needless to say, refused to provide him with one. As Zenk looked away (fatal mistake!) Luger clotheslined him (typical cheap shot from Luger!). Race and Hughes then held Z while Luger positioned him for a pile driver. The Z-Man is driven to the mat, damaging his neck. Now, in a subsequent
brawl with Cactus Jack, the Z-Man undertakes a high risk maneuver hitting
the concrete and steel barrier, compounding his neck problem ..... see
below for the fabulous high dive Zenk pulls off - in 1991 there were not
too many wrestlers taking to the air like this.
