Tom Zenk vs Vader
Great American Bash 1990 - Tom Zenk vs Vader (Vader's debut in WCW)
For as long as Ole Anderson was absent from WCW booking (from January 1 to around May 5, 1990) Tom Zenk's ring career flourished. From January to April, Zenk took to the ring in more than 70 tag and singles matches and was booked to lose only 5. This upwards trajectory came to a sudden and dramatic halt with the resignation of Flair as chief booker and the appointment of Ole Anderson in May 1990. From May to December, Zenk was booked for around 65 matches, mainly against less talented workers or 'monster heels' and booked to lose more than 50%. NWA contracts stipulated that all finishes are final. If Zenk had refused a match or finish then Anderson finally had grounds for termination.
Dave Meltzer wrote - "Big Van Vader pinned Tom Zenk in 2:16 with a big splash. There was interest in seeing Vader from the tv clips, and he got a babyface reaction coming down the aisle, especially when the fans saw the headgear blowing steam. Crowd was quiet once the match started because they couldn't work out if Vader was a face or heel. Zenk sold his stuff good and he did some elbow drops and falling moves that got over because of his weight [251lbs]. But because of the time, this was really just a squash."

Tom Zenk and Brian Pillman vs Midnight Express at Capitla Combat and the bests are on the line...
Capital Combat 1990- US Tag Team Titles on the line as the champs Tom Zenk and Brian Pillman take on the Midnight Express with Jim Cornette locked in a cage- pity they hadn't locked booker Ole Anderson up also.
In Ole Anderson's first PPV - Midnight Express win the US Tag team titles from Tom Zenk and Brian Pillman in 20.19. Jim Cornette was placed in a cage at ringside ...Pillman's chest was all bruised up before the match even started courtesy of working most of the past week with Flair. Good fast action all the way. In some spots the guys seemed slightly flat, I would guess because of the heat (no air conditioning). Still, it was the best match on the card. Zenk and Pillman did most of their best moves early. Midnights gained control when Pillman missed a tackle at the 10 minute mark and they worked him over for most of the rest of the way. Pillman juiced the hardway from the forehead which I understand wasn't mentioned nor evident to home viewers. He took one great bump from the apron on to the guard rail. Midnights did their usual hot moves, including two or three new ones while working Pillman over. The hot tag to Zenk was the biggest pop live of the entire night. After Zenk kicked out of the rocket launcher and Eaton missed a tackle into the corner, Zenk put the sleeper on. It turned into a four-way and Lane gave Zenk an enzuiguiri (karate kick to the back of the head, although it looked more like the upper back) and Eaton cradled Zenk for the win " Meltzer rates it *** and three quarters.

Dos Hombres (Zenk and Steamboat) vs Pillman and Austin
Slamboree 1993
Hollywood Blondes vs Ricky Steamboat and Tom Zenk (Dos Hombres) - Inside of a cage
The masked gimmick was used by WCW management to cover Douglas' exit from WCW over his poor push. Announcers pretend it's still Douglas - when, in fact, it's Tom Zenk. Meltzer didn't notice.
