* SelfDeprecation: If Zane mentions his career as a wrestler in a video, expect him to not put his skills in flattering terms. He featured his own first match in the video for "Trashbaggers (Are Out of Style)", called himself a "crappy wrestler" in the video for "The 'Legend' of Supertramp", and, when showing a video of Erik Watts doing a bad dropkick in his "Worst Second and Third-Generation Wrestlers" video, he also showed a video of himself doing a bad dropkick. And then in his celebration of ten years in the wrestling biz, in an actual fed, no clip showed him successfully attacking anyone.

He also does shorter, vlog reviews on documentaries and pay-per-views on the channels, as well as vlogs giving his thoughts on recent wrestling news. Zane has also produced three spinoff series; ''Kayfabe Kitchen'', offering recipes given by wrestlers; ''Getting Into the [=BiZ=]'', where he gives advice to aspiring wrestlers; and ''Who [[JustForPun War]] It Better'', where he compares and contrasts each week's episode of ''[[Wrestling/WWERaw Raw]]'' and ''[[Wrestling/WWESmackDown SmackDown]]'' and determines which one was the better show. ''Who War It Better'' was largely retooled in October 2019 to cover the weekly episodes of WWE's third brand ''[[Wrestling/{{WWENXT}} NXT]]'' and Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling's own TV series ''Dynamite'' called ''Wednesday Warfare'', before the ''Warfare'' branding was eventually dropped altogether when ''NXT'' moved to Tuesdays. Reviews for episodes of ''Raw'' and ''[=SmackDown=]'' still went on in separate videos, sometimes by Zane and sometimes by a contributor, until Zane announced in 2022 that ''Raw'' and ''[=SmackDown=]'' reviews would go on indefinite hiatus due to the workload involved.
