Destiny took them to the Dennis Wrestling Association(DWA) and Zen Menobe(28) was put in a tag team, with a young man by the name of Ku Moe Jade(20) after several months the tag team of the Emperor�s Pride won the tag team titles, but they threw the titles in the face of the bigots that ran the fed. Destiny saw the talent in Zen and she wanted to put him in the singles circuit. But not in the DWA. Destiny scouted out several federation and the one that looked the best was the New Japanese Wrestling(NJW). Destiny figured if she was managing two Japanese men and a powerful Japanese woman why not return to their home for them to make a name for themselves.
During the next three years the Tag Team of the Emperor�s Pride was the fan favorite. The held the NJW Tag Team Titles for a year and a half. The Names of Zen Menobe(31) and Ku Moe Jade(23) and Sun Cha So-Mean Menobe(29) are forever remembered in Japan.
Destiny was homesick and with the Emperor�s Pride just losing the tag titles to Spitting Kabuki and Jinn Su Hi. The group returned to Dallas, TX. Zen had made friends with another Japanese man, he was a mysterious man who never talked his wrestling name was Silent Kabuki. The fan were behind Sun Cha as she was climbed the the rankings for the NJW Woman�s Title. She remained in Japan as Destiny and Zen traveled to the US.
Worldwide Wrestling Alliance(WWA).
Destiny did not want to manage Ku Moe Jade anymore, she wanted him to have more training, so Zen talked Ku Moe Jade and Silent Kabuki into going to the Jade Griffon Dojo to be trained by his Uncle Ozbert. Ku Moe Jade and Silent Kabuki accepted. After two years with the federation, Zen(31) won the International Title but left the WWA because of another biggot fedhead. Zen had lost the match for the WWA International Title to the #1 contender of the WWA Tourney, Venom(Damian Knight) Destiny was discourged for she knew Zen was a fantastic wrestler she just needed some help to broaden her manager talents.
Destiny and Zen moved to the Primal Wrestling Federation(PWF) where he never won a title but, he worked over his opponents in his stay in the PWF. Zen started to have a losing streak in the PWF and soon joined the Intercontiental e-Wrestling Federation(ICeWF) at the same time. He was wrestling all over the world for two different feds. He joined up with the Eastern Empire and Senji the �Black Dragon� Yamato while in the ICeWF, they started to run the show and were the strongest stable in the fed until Damian Knight came to the ICeWF from the PWF. Soon Damian and Zen were at each others throats, but there was a common goal between the two men. Zen called in his Uncle Ozbert Menobe for help. But once his uncle showed up from Dallas, TX. Zen challenged him for the family�s dojo. Ozbert being a man of honor accepted. After three open-handed matches Zen was the new owner of the Jade Griffon Dojo. Soon Destiny had enough with the two feds and had Zen change to the NCWA.
Destiny and Zen(32) traveled to the Nationwide Championship Wrestling Association(NCWA) Destiny had two new wrestlers she was managing at the time. A huge man that stood at 7� 1 & 1/2 his name was Jack Rhodes(Carnage/D�Spayre) The other wrestler was Bobby McMahon-Oakley(Knuckles) Carnage and Knuckles were the masked tag team called The Death Dealers. Zen was happy to wrestle alongside one of his childhood friends. Zen and Destiny had made contact with another woman who had managed wrestlers in the WWA and convinced her to bring her talented wrestlers to the NCWA. The woman was Alicia Sinn, and as for Zen Menobe his life would forever be changed. Destiny and Alicia agreed to make a large stable called the Satan�s Soldiers (SS). The stable was managed by both Alicia and and Destiny, the wrestlers were Zen Menobe(32) Carnage(?) and Knuckles(25) Venom (Damian Knight) Malice (Seth Jorgenson/Kurse) and Wreaper(Bradon Knight). The stable of the SS made a massive impact on the federation. As the SS walked the federation into the ground the Fedhead gained some new talent. Justin �The Enforcer� Powers and �Amazing� Johnny DuWright(25). The SS had some problems, and that was Bobby McMahon-Oakley(25). He didn�t want to be against his other childhood friend Johnny DuWright and was not happy with being a heel, so he removed his mask and turned his back on the SS. Johnny and Bobby wrestled together for a short time until Bobby was called to Japan to help his sister(Kute Daisy/23) who had been hurt(By Sun Cha So-Mean Menobe). Soon Johnny and Justin couldn�t handle the SS and Johnny called for his brothers help. In a matter of two days the Stable known as the Good Samaritans were born in the NCWA. Amazing Johnny DuWright(25) Glorious Godfrey DuWright(22) Terrific Terry DuWright(21) and Lethal Larry DuWright(20) Even with the Good Samaritans in the fed Zen still won the International Title, After several title defenses, Zen lost the title because of Destiny. It was all an accident but Alicia Sinn and the SS were not happy with what happened. Soon Destiny left the SS and traveled to the world to manage new wrestlers. With Destiny gone, the SS started to crumble, But Zen called her Sun Cha to help aid the New stable that was formed. The Minions of Sinn! Justin and The DuWrights soon brought the fight to The MoS... and seemed to be the only entity that could keep them in check, but soon even that would be in jeopardy as a new threat entered the federation... a masked man known as The Scourge.
The Scourge ran amok, attacking at random and destroying order. Soon people began to suspect Justin to be the man behind the mask after several curious coincidences. Justin rebuked, but it soon began to effect his performance in the ring and with his friends. �Amazing� Johnny DuWright pledged his support of Justin in the overwhelming flood of evidence against him. Justin and Johnny formed the tag team known as The Iron Enforcers in order to combat The MoS together. Unfortunately the powerful team�s run would be cut violently short after their first outing against two MoS prospects calling themselves The Hollywood Heartbreakers.
After destroying The Hollywood Heartbreakers inside the ring in one of the most lopsided matches imaginable, Alicia Sinn directed The MoS to obliterate The Heartbreakers for their horrible effort. True to form, The Iron Enforcers hit the ring to save the men who had been directed to take them out. As the tide turned to favor The Enforcers the unexpected happened� The Scourge attacked them on the side of The MoS. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, Justin and The Scourge were no one in the same! Unfortunately the game was not yet over as a second Scourge appeared and turned the tide horribly against Powers and DuWright. The trap had been sprung and there was nowhere to run. To everyone�s surprise the first Scourge was found out to be a powerfully built woman, the wife of MoS member �Bitter� Zen Menobe� but the second shock was even bigger as the second Scourge proved to be none other than Johnny�s brother, �Lethal� Larry DuWright! In an act of sheer hatred, Alicia cut loose The MoS on Justin and Johnny. Justin�s right shoulder was shattered after being sandwiched in-between an open folding chair that was unceremoniously slammed shut as Damian Knight leapt on it from the top rope. Justin�s career was over in the instant, just as Johnny DuWright suffered a similar fate after the chair was snapped shut on his leg. Zen was hit with the bitter taste of reality as he saw his childhood friend laying in pain with a broken ankle. Zen left the MoS and the NCWA. This caused a rift in the stable and soon it caused the stable to crumble. He did not wrestle for a year.
After a phone call from his old manager Destiny, Zen(33) returned to the ring in the Brutal Savage Network(BSN) After a year without winning a title Destiny felt that she was not need and that she was holding Zen back. Destiny left the Zen and the BSN after Damian Knight showed up. Some say he stretched himself too thin when he followed his long time friend, �Bitter� Zen Menobe into The BSN and wrestled in two federations at once. Whatever the reason he lost his competitive edge, his health, and his title as he faded into obscurity. He disappeared for nearly a year, leaving the side of Alicia Sinn for the first time since his career began.
Zen unhappy with the BSN moved to the Fuedal Wrestling Association(FWA) Bitter Zen arrived in the FWA to correct the wrong caused by Jin Su Hi. Jinn Su Hi and the Spitting Kabuki were using the name Emperor�s Pride and to the Honorable Menobe Clan that is unacceptable. Zen, Silent Kabuki and Ku Moe Jade stopped Jinn Su Hi and avenged the crime of dishonor. Soon the MoS was reformed in the FWA and Zen was part of the fold all over again. During his time in the FWA Bitter Zen faced off against men of all talents. One such man was Rick The Exterminator. Rick and his partner Kris Craven were known as the Death Ryders. They were the reigning Tag Team Champions, and no matter what Zen tried or did he could not defeat the Death Ryders. Zen challenged Rick to a singles match in front of the Emperor in Japan. The match did not go as Zen would have hoped. After Zen was defeated the fans as well as the Emperor turned on him. Bitter Zen is now a masterless man and an outcast of his family. He failed one to many times in the Emperor's eyes. Zen is still the owner of the Jade Griffon Dojo but he has left that to be run by his Uncle Ozbert Menobe. Zen returned to America to wrestle in the Survival Wrestling Association(SWA) but his career had started to fall apart around him. He took as few months off and than made a short return to the wrestling ring in the Gladiator Wrestling Assocaition(GWA) where he played a true neutral roll on both Damian Knights side and Chadwick Galahad Adams side. Chadwick was one of the many students that Zen and Ozbert Menobe had trained for the wrestling world. Shang Woo being the best. While in the GWA Amazing Johnny DuWright(27) returned to the ring and made an Amazing comeback. Zen was happy to see Johnny return after his injuries from the MoS. Soon Zen retired from wrestling and returned to running the Jade Griffon Dojo.
During his time away from the ring his top student Shang Woo challenged Zen for the Jade Griffon Dojo, and Zen being a man of honor accepted. And to his surprise Shang Woo proved to be the better man and defeated Zen for the Dojo. Zen returned home to Japan to find himself.
After Zen had found out the his little sister had married Johnny DuWright(29), Zen was a upset. Johnny and the DuWrights are good people and all but they are not Japanese. Zen has returned to the US to help his sister who is working uncover at the Circle Television Network(CTN) to help get the Ultimate Online Wrestling(UOW) out from the foot of the Evil Circle. Akina Menobe(27) is also helping to return the Jade Griffon Dojo to the Good Samaritans Inc.
