Justice Pain

""In my opinion, Justice Pain is one of the best wrestlers in 2000s CZW, if I would rank CZW wrestlers when Zandig was running the promotion, he would probably be in the top 5 or top 10. Being the first ever grand-slam champion on Combat Zone Wrestling, he captured the CZW's World Heavyweight Championship, Ironman Championship, World Junior Championship, and the World Tag Team Championship during his eight-year CZW career (1999-2007). Watching 2002 CZW matches, I can see that Justice Pain bring a sort of prestige to the CZW World title in that year, wrestling with the likes of CM Punk, Jerry Lynn, and feuding with Sick Nick Mondo, Messiah, Adam Flash, and Nick Gage. At the time when CZW was at their peak of death matches featuring Zandig, Wifebeater, Lobo, etc., Pain was mainly using technical wrestling in his matches even though he was originally a hardcore wrestler. However, I will criticize his stiffness work in the ring where he drops his opponents on their heads. An example of this is Cage of Death 7 (2005) where he teamed with Nick Gage and Zandig against Necro Butcher, Toby Klein and Joker. Pain was doing his finisher "Pain Thriller" to Necro Butcher who was very concussed after being hit with a ladder on the top of his head making him very sloppy to take the finisher, Pain being frustrated, lifts Necro and drops him to the outside of the ring; landing him face first onto the concrete floor, Necro returned the receipt by stiff punching and mudhole stomping in his face repeatedly until Zandig breaks it up. Another example of Pain's stiff work is at another CZW show where he Razor's Edge Drake Younger to the outside and lands him neck and head first onto the barbed wire table. Overall, Justice Pain although a stiff wrestler, created an impact to the history of CZW and created some of the best technical wrestling in CZW."

[3.0] "For me, Justice Pain is not amazing like people say. It's good but that's it. He had above average ability. If you put him right next to people like Lobo, Zandig, Wifebeater, etc. he will clearly look superior in skill and physicality. For me he had to participate in more Deathmatch matches, because he obtained all the achievements (World Heavyweight, Junior Heavyweight, Iron Man, Tag Team) and he never participated in a Tournament of Death or a Best of the Best. I mean, he won a lot but risked little. EDIT: Well my opinion about Pain has changed, people think that because he is muscular and moderately athletic that he is good but that is not the case, he appeared to be athletic and therefore sought to be fast, but in the process he did not usually fit in with his opponent, because the rival always stays behind, causing the fight to be uncoordinated. And this is worse if it is a "Hardcore" fight, because Justice wanted to look like someone tough and fierce, but this could only be demonstrated when he destroyed his rival. The only way he found to appear imposing was to face hardcore rivals because that way he could appear to be beastly and powerful (something that was not reciprocal, as I said before he risked little and gained a lot), but put it somewhere else outside of CZW and it is one more Jobber from the bunch. I think that he did not deserve to win a championship, because at that time in CZW, there were better options than Pain, not to take away from Chris, but he simply offered something that does not correspond to what the Combat Zone is. But something that I have to admit is that his character is amazing, I think he is the second best character that has ever been in CZW, one of the best fighters that was created in the Combat Zone, legendary in every sense in character, appearance, etc. An incredible fighter, whose strength was not in combat, his strength was the meaning he possessed and who will always be the primary history of CZW. By making this opinion I discovered that I love Pain, I am very fond of him. But that doesn't take away the fact that he was lazy, whenever I see it before anyone, I already know in advance who is going to lose or who is not going to take the risk."

[4.0] "Justice Pain was a moderately jacked up guy who was average in the ring, but who looked better than he was because he was in CZW and most of their roster were poor workers."

[8.0] "He made the CZW title. Great personality and charisma and put on consistently good matches in his prime."

[10.0] "While opinions on him may vary, it think Justice Pain was perfect for CZW. Being there from day one and also holding the CZW World Heavyweight Championship for more days than anybody else in company's history, he is a big piece of history. He began as a skinny kid and ended up as an impressive muscular power wrestler, matching well with his brother in making the H8 Club and iconic emblem of CZW. Some of his matches with the likes of El Generico, Nick Mondo, Johnny Kashmere and Tajiri still holds up amongst the best in company's history. Many co-workers and observers have bad opinions of him, but as a fan of wrestling, I believe what he did worked very well and left a bunch of thrilling memories."
