Mason Zion

Leon Martin Holzer (born February 18, 1984) is a British German professional wrestler who is better known by his current ring name, Mason Zion. He predominantly works on the British and European independent circuits, but has also worked for American promotion Black Label Wrestling.

Young Zion and Intensity Champion (2003–2005)
Holzer debuted for Lionheart Wrestling in April of 2003, using the ring name Leon Mason. He competed mainly as part of LHW's Young Lions division, with his first match being against Mikey Ellsworth, which Mason won. With a win streak under his belt, Mason declared that the Young Lions division was the "Young Zion's division", which was a play on his nickname, "The Zion". His cockiness drew the ire of other Young Lions, most notably Aiden Everheart. The two would feud when Everheart refused to "bow down before [Mason's] power", resulting in a brawl and match that was set for them on October 12, 2003. Mason would come out victorious against Everheart thanks to interference from fellow Young Lions blank and blank, who would go on to become Mason's "Kingdom's Soldiers".

With the Kingdom's Soldiers by his side, Mason continued to dominate the Young Lions division, turning his sights to the Intensity Championship. However, Everheart would continue to resist and sabotage Mason's plans, rallying two other Young Lions, blank and blank, to assist him in taking down Mason. The feud would lead to a three on three match on January 11, 2004, with Mason and Everheart's factions facing off. Mason and the Kingdom's Soldiers defeated Everheart's team, continuing Mason's winning streak and leading to him being rewarded with an Intensity Championship title shot.

Mason decided to cash in his Intensity Championship shot against the then-champion Stuart King at LHW's March event. King, wary of the Kingdom's Soldiers, asked that a special referee be placed into their title match. Everheart was chosen as the special referee, much to Mason's dismay. To combat any bias that Everheart would have against his rival, the Kingdom's Soldiers were named enforcers for the title match. On March 14, 2004, Mason defeated King to become the new Intensity Champion, with Everheart allying with Mason during the match to help him win. In the following weeks, Everheart would pledge his allegiance to Mason, stating that the three on three match had proven that the only way to survive was to align with him. Mason would also change his ring name, stating that his Intensity Championship win marked his "ascension beyond his given name" and that he would from then on be known as Mason Zion.
