Wrestling Style:
Very much influenced by the Pro Wrestling Noah "Royal Road with Ark" style of wrestling (which itself is an offshoot of All Japan Pro Wrestling's "King Road" style), the so called "Fury Road" style that Zach was taught focuses more on a high-impact striking and MMA-style submissions (IE-early career KENTA & present day Naomichi Maraufuji), but Zach's way of doing things in the ring are measured and steady, but he also tends to take cues from some of his inspirations such as Rocko Daymon, Eli Flair, Chris Sabertooth, and Finnegan Wakefield.
He has also adopted some of the more "sadistic" aspects of his trainer Jason Wraith's own style-including the incorporation of Judo holds and throws, joint manipulation, and an emphasis on stiff strikes.
