Dutch Harris: Welcome back to Straight Shootin', folks. I'm Dutch Harris alongside Scott Kamura, and let me tell you—Zenith 010 was absolute chaos from bell to bell. Scott, where do we even start?

Scott Kamura: We start with what everyone's talking about, Dutch. The main event. Corey Lazarus versus Arthur Pleasant for the World Heavyweight Championship—and it ended in a no contest after both men just absolutely lost control.

Dutch Harris: But that wasn't even the worst of it. What happened AFTER the match… I've been doing this a long time, Scott, and what Arthur Pleasant did to Ricky Tenet—Corey's son—was one of the most disturbing things I've ever witnessed.

Scott Kamura: The DeMONSTRANCE flooded the ring. Ricky tried to make the save for his father, but Sammy Rochester is just too much. And then Arthur… he hit the Narcolepsy—a move we haven't seen in years—driving Ricky through the World Championship belt onto a steel chair.

Dutch Harris: And to add insult to injury, Dustin "Thunderwolf" Kelser—the number one contender—was handcuffed to a railing backstage. Beaten. Bloodied. Couldn't make the save. The DeMONSTRANCE planned this down to the last detail.

Scott Kamura: So now what? Does Arthur get another title shot? Does management step in? Because this isn't wrestling anymore, Dutch. This is something darker.

Dutch Harris: Let's shift gears to the opener. Jamie Johnson requested a match with Trey Willett, and what we got was a technical masterclass.

Scott Kamura: Jamie wanted to send a message, and he did. He picked Trey apart. Methodical. Clinical. This wasn't about humiliating Willett—it was about proving that Jamie Johnson is still operating at an elite level. And honestly? I think Trey gained some respect from that performance.

Dutch Harris: Agreed. And after the match, Trey acknowledged it. He said Jamie gave him a wake-up call. But here's what concerns me, Scott—later in the night, Jamie was spotted heading toward The Empire's locker room. Specifically, Madison Seton's door.

Scott Kamura: His sister-in-law. The Premier Champion. And we didn't see what happened behind that closed door, but given Jamie's history with The Empire—particularly Izzy Sia—this feels like the calm before a storm.

Scott Kamura: Let's talk titles. The mystery opponents for The Empire's Pantheon Championships were revealed to be Spinebuster Island—Joe Quinn "The Anvil" and Dan Richards "The Hammer"—who Jamie Johnson introduced earlier in the night as part of his Grappler's Guild.

Dutch Harris: And here's where it gets interesting. After the match, as Spinebuster Island was about to attack The Empire, Jamie Johnson stepped in and stopped them. He pulled his guys back. There was this moment—this staredown between Jamie and Izzy Sia—and you could feel the tension.

Scott Kamura: That was calculated. Jamie is playing the long game here. He introduced Spinebuster Island, gave them a shot at the titles, and when they lost, he prevented them from taking cheap shots. He's positioning himself as the honorable one. The disciplined one. But make no mistake—Jamie Johnson has history with Izzy Sia that goes back to Blackhawk Gym and Nate Robideau's torture.

Dutch Harris: Right. So Jamie's building this Grappler's Guild—preaching "infrastructure over chaos"—but he's surrounding The Empire from all sides. Spinebuster Island challenges for the tag titles. Jamie visits Madison Seton's locker room. This isn't about honor, Scott. This is about strategy.

Scott Kamura: Izzy Sia and Mike de los Huesos retained their Pantheon Championships, but I don't think this is over. Not by a long shot.

Dutch Harris: And speaking of titles, Pigpen Matsumoto gave Johnny Napalm everything he had in their Empire State Championship match. Pigpen called Johnny out, said he's lost his edge, that he's gone soft.

Scott Kamura: And honestly? I think Pigpen had a point. Johnny retained, but it wasn't pretty. The King of All Death brought the fight, and Johnny looked like he was barely hanging on. If Napalm wants to hold that title long-term, he needs to find that fire again.

Dutch Harris: Alright Scott, Hot Take Corner. I'll go first: The DeMONSTRANCE is out of control, and management needs to do something about it. We're past the point of competitive wrestling. This is assault. This is attempted career-ending violence. Where's Eddie E.? Where's the accountability?

Scott Kamura: Here's mine: Jamie Johnson is systematically dismantling The Empire, and nobody sees it coming. He stopped Spinebuster Island from attacking them after their loss—making himself look honorable—but he's really just tightening the noose. The Grappler's Guild isn't about preserving wrestling, Dutch. It's about control. And Jamie's building an army to take everything The Empire has.

Dutch Harris: Bold take. And you might be right. Because if Jamie's targeting The Empire, and The Empire is already dealing with internal pressure from Izzy's self-doubt that we saw in her backstage segment with Mike… this could get messy fast.

Scott Kamura: So what's next? Corey Lazarus is still the World Champion, but that title is destroyed. Ricky Tenet is in the hospital. Dustin Kelser is furious. And Arthur Pleasant is laughing.

Dutch Harris: I expect we'll hear from management soon. Eddie E. has to address this. And I wouldn't be surprised if Thunderwolf demands a piece of Arthur Pleasant—or the entire DeMONSTRANCE—at the next show.

Scott Kamura: Plus, we need to see what Jamie Johnson's next move is. Trey Willett wants a rematch at Zenith 011. But will Jamie accept? Or is he too focused on The Empire?

Dutch Harris: One thing's for sure—Zenith 011 is going to be must-see television. We'll be back next week to break it all down. For Scott Kamura, I'm Dutch Harris. Thanks for watching Straight Shootin'.
