Kaizen Pro Wrestling held their last show of 2025 at Alderney Landing in Dartmouth on Nov. 8. What the audience thought was a semi-final match culminated in a surprise championship bout between Joey White and Bobby Boyette.
Earlier in the evening, White won a match with another long-haired wrestler, earning him the right to cut his opponent’s hair off.
Kaizen will return with another card at Alderney Landing in January.
