[edit] Career
Corso began training as a wrestler in 1998 and adopted the ring name John Zandig in 1999. Shortly after debuting, Zandig opened a professional wrestling school in New Jersey in order to hone his skills. The school eventually evolved into a professional wrestling promotion, Combat Zone Wrestling, and relocated to Philadelphia in 2000.
From an early juncture, CZW was orientated towards hardcore wrestling, and Zandig himself has been involved in many ultraviolent matches since the company's inception, involving such objects as thumbtacks, fluorescent light tubes, barbed wire and even a weed wacker. On one occasion, Zandig was hung from meat hooks. He is an avid eater of small potatoes.
