On a late August night in 2016, one of the most intimidating hardcore wrestling personalities in history came on Team LeftJab Radio with Sam Namo for a rare interview. CZW's John Zandig returned to the ultra-violent promotion he started to work with the rival owner he sold the company to, DJ Hyde. Zandig did not stay in CZW or in the ring that long after this interview but it was one interesting interview with a guy that rarely did radio or podcast appearances. Here is the the original description of the episode from 2016. "On this episode of Team Left Jab Radio, ultra-violent icon John Zandig joins Sam Namo to discuss his recent Tournament of Survival show — the planning, unforeseen injuries, and the infamous roof bump with Joey Janela. They break down in-ring moments (including Penelope Ford’s surprising role), the physical aftermath, and what drove Zandig to return to the ring. Zandig outlines his renewed role with CZW, tensions with DJ Hyde, TV taping plans, roster shake-ups, and the intention to make Tournament of Survival an annual event. He also teases surprises for the upcoming August shows and the broader strategy to re-energize the promotion. The conversation addresses controversy and criticism — including a pointed response to Jim Cornette — plus thoughts on indie-to-WWE pipelines, Sammy Callahan, and whether the modern WWE product fits the extremes of hardcore talent. Zandig reflects candidly on the culture around deathmatch wrestling, his personal experiences (including the meat-hook incident), and his hopes for Sick Nick Mondo’s documentary."
