COLE
And now we’ve come to our Heavyweight Title matchup here tonight.
CABOOSE
This….this is absurd, Cole. I can not be the only one here to realize that.
COACH
Absurdly amazing!
CABOOSE
Er….no.
COLE
Well, no matter if you feel it’s absurd or not, General Manager Josie still decided to make the matchup anyway. And with the signing-up process now complete, it looks like Drek Stone is going to have three opponents here. Three opponents running for the gold!
COACH
Josie explained the rules before, but just in case you were watching Pimp My Ride….
COLE
I LUUUUUUUUV that show, s0n!
COACH
Let’s go over the rules once more. Drek Stone, Leon Rodez, The Mad Cappa, and Alix will all be lining up across the steet from the arena. They are going to be making their way through the streets. Through the fitness center. Through these entrance curtains onto the beach. And finally to the ring. Waiting inside the ring is the OAOAST Heavyweight Title. Whoever grabs that championship first claims it as their own. This is going to be huge!
CABOOSE
The injustices just keep on piling up for Drek Stone. I don’t recall ANY other superstar having to defend their title under such idiotic circumstances. I just cannot understand it.
COACH
Entertainment usually IS a difficult concept for you to understand anyway…..
COLE
BUUUUUUUUUURN~!
CABOOSE
Right.
COLE
Anyway, we’ve got a camera waiting outside the arena to broadcast television history. The FIRST-EVER OAOAST “Run For The Gold” competition! Let’s get to it!
The camera cuts away to the outside of the arena, where Alix, Leon Rodez, and The Mad Cappa are all standing in position. While Alix has dressed for the occasion in a floruescent orange bikini and a baby-blue sarong, and Leon Rodez has taken the time to pick out banana-yellow swim shorts, The Mad Cappa has simply decided to wrestle in his normal ring attire. However, missing from this casual beach party is one individual. One important individual. One person that is absolutely essential for this match to even start.
YO~!
YO~!
YO~!
WOKE UP DIS MORNIN….
GOT YOSELF A GUN….
POPPED A CAP IN DAT MOTHA’S ASS….
TOOK HIS WALLET AND RUN!!
OAOAST Heavyweight Champion Drek Stone walks up to his three opponents, accompanied by two street rappers behind him. Drek, with a dreadfully frustrated look on his face, tries to shoo away the two rappers, but they only continue to sing behind them.
SHE SAID YOU ONE IN A MILLION…
DREK
Guys…
IT BE TIME FOR YOU TO SHINE…
DREK
Please stop.
BUT YOU GOTTA PASS THE HO‘S.…
DREK
No more.
THE BLUNTS AND THE MOONSHI-I-INE!
DREK
THAT’S IT! THAT’S IT! GET OUT OF HERE!
The rap quickly stops as the two men drop their microphones and stare down this unhip Italian stereotype.
RAPPER #1
Yo, man. Josie paid us to rap for you tonight. You want it over? Fine.
RAPPER #2
We best be getting paid, still.
The two rappers finally leave as Drek shakes his head unbelievably and looks at his three opponents.
CABOOSE
I can’t believe Josie would force Drek Stone to go through something so degrading.
COACH
I was feeling that, dawg. Drek’s song needed a change anyway.
With the pre-match shenanigans out of the way, the four combatants finally line up to get this thing started.
And away we go.
*BANG~!*
With the sound of the starting gun going off, two Cocoa Beach inhabitants immediately drop down to the ground. Yet, they find themselves only more confused as they walk Drek Stone, Leon Rodez, The Mad Cappa, and Alix start sprinting for the arena. Cappa, looking to get an advantage as quickly as possible, stops short and sticks his leg out, causing Alix to trip over him and fall to the ground.
CABOOSE
HA!
With a laugh, Cappa starts running ahead, making asure to stare back at Alix. However, this time, Rodez sticks HIS leg out, tripping Cappa in exactly the same way he did to Alix before. Rodez tries to sprint forward, but sure enough, he winds up getting tripped by Drek Stone. With all three of his competitors down, Drek has already wound up with the early advantage.
CABOOSE
There we go! Even in the mean, rumbling streets of Cocoa Beach, Drek Stone is always thinking!
As Drek starts sprinting forward, he suddenly realizes that running is for suckers. Seeing someone ride nearby him on a mountain bike, Drek stops the person quickly for a brief conversation.
DREK
Yo, man. Let me borrow your bike.
BIKE RIDER
No! Get your own!
DREK
…….WHAT?! Get the hell off that bike!
Despite the bicyclist’s defiant stand, Drek simply places a hand on the biker’s face and shoves him off the bike. With the rider tumbling off the bicycle, it’s easy pickings for Drek Stone to get on and ride away.
COLE
Oh, that’s terrible! A few seconds in, and Drek Stone has already broken a law!
CABOOSE
Oh, Cole, please. He shouldn’t have even had to ask to use the damned bike.
COACH
If Drek is able to stay on that thing, this one could be over before it started.
However, that’s definitely easier said than done. The biker, clearly disgraced over being shoved off his bike so easily, picks up a rock and HURLS it at the Heavyweight Champion. The rock hits Drek Stone square at the back of the head, sending him careening off the bike and onto the cement street.
CABOOSE
WHAT?! HOW DARE HE!
COACH
Such vivid imagery!
As Drek rolls around on the ground, stunned that someone would have the audacity to do such a thing, Alix runs forward and tries lifting up the bike for her own use. But, once again, the bike rider tries to stop this law violation.
BIKE RIDER
Won’t you all just stop trying to steal my bike?!
With a sigh and a shrug of her shoulders, Alix steps back and takes off her bikini top for a moment.
BIKE RIDER
OMGZ WAT ARE THOZE BUMPSS ON UR CHEST?!?!
ALIX
Breasts.
BIKE RIDER
WOWZ!!!11 U CAN TAKE THE BIKE NOW, LADY~!
As the bike rider drops down on the ground to take care of his business, Alix picks the bike up and immediately starts riding away with it. The fans standing around the streets rise up in a solid cheer as Alix rides off with the early advantage.
COACH
Here we go! We could be minutes away from seeing Alix win the Heavyweight Championship!
COLE
…..what the hell WERE those bumps on her chest? I’m really afraid Alix might have two serious tumors, guys.
CABOOSE
Idiot.
As Alix speeds away to the arena, she suddenly gets knocked over by a car plowing right into her.
COLE
This is total madness!
COACH
Why don’t they just walk to the fitness center?! It’s not even that far away!
The force of the car sends Alix right off the bike and rolling along the street. When she gets back up, she merely tosses the bicycle off to the side and goes to confront the person who just ran her down. She yanks open the car door and screams as her assailant is shown to be….
COLE
GALLAGHER?!
CABOOSE
Oh boy, all the big stars are coming out tonight….
As Alix stands before this washed-up comedian in absolute shock, Cappa moves over to the backseat of Gallagher’s car and hurls open the door. While Alix attempts to get out her autograph book quickly, Cappa muscles a watermelon out of the automobile. He then runs forward and smashes the massive fruit over the head of the starstruck Tag Champion.
“BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!”
COACH
WATERMELON?! WHY, I NEVER!!
COLE
Who would have thought there would be a watermelon in Gallagher’s car?! ANYTHING can happen in the OAOAST!
As Alix rolls around, covered in a sticky mess of melon and black seeds, Cappa tries making a run for the fitness center. But after his first few steps, Leon Rodez lunges out of nowhere and gives The Mad Cappa a hard shove. The force of the push sends Cappa uncontrollably falling into a collection of garbage cans strewn along the side of the curb.
*CRASH~!*
The sound of crunching aluminum is the only thing that can be heard as Cappa knocks down the entire collection of garbage bins. Almost as if he was picking up the nearly impossible 7-10 split. Not wanting to ease up on his hated rival, Rodez quickly grabs a garbage can lid and moves over to his opponent. As Cappa struggles to get up, Rodez lifts up the lid and…
*CRASH~!*
…BANGS it off the head of the Mad Cappa! Cappa starts staggering around a little as Rodez lifts up the lid again and….
*CRASH~!*
….DRILLS it off the side of the head of The Mad Cappa once again! As Cappa goes falling back into the garbage cans, Rodez drops the lid and tries walking towards the fitness center. Yet, before he can get there, the X-Champion finds himself surrounded by mob of fans that weren’t there only a second ago.
RODEZ
Guys, guys. I gotta finish this match. No autographs now. Later.
One older woman, with her wistful grey hair up in a bun, steps out from the crowd and confronts Rodez face-to-face.
WOMAN
AUTOGRAPH?! Oh no, Leon Rodez. We’re here to confront you about that awful video just discovered!
MOB
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Rodez looks around the mob with wide-eyes as a middle-aged, balding, 30-something-year-old man steps out of the crowd and hurls a banana at the disgraced superstar.
MAN
Why not use that in front of all of us right now?! SICKO!
MOB
YEAHHHHHH! SICKO! SICKO! SICKO!
This time, another male figure -- this one dressed in a priest’s robe -- steps out of the crowd and solemnly asks for the mob to quiet down. As the crowd starts to lower their voices, the priest grabs a firm hold of Rodez’s hand and looks into his eyes. Rodez smiles a little, comforted in the idea that there could be someone there who finally understands him.
PRIEST
Son, Austin 3:16 might whoop your ass……but John 3:16 will save your ass! As it says in verse 7, line 16.…..And the Lord said to John…..THOU SHALT NOT VIOLATE THYSELF WITH A BANANA!!!
MOB
YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!
With even the priest himself mocking Leon Rodez, the mob once again starts to bark insults at the X-Champion.
PRIEST
MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS…….SIN AND IMMORALITY WILL DO A….
MOB
J-O-B…
PRIEST
TO…..
MOB
G-O-D!!!
PRIEST
YESSSSSS!!!!
MOB
J-O-B to G-O-D!! J-O-B to G-O-D!!
As this gathering of right-wing zealots continue to scream at Leon Rodez, the camera catches a glimpse of Drek Stone confronting a young three-year-old happily manuevering a tricycle along the sidewalk. The Heavyweight Champion, without a moment’s hesitation, pushes the child off the trike and grabs it for himself. Although the box says the tricycle may be for ages 7 and under, Drek Stone absolutely refuses to allow himself to be contained by the conformities of society.
CABOOSE
YES, DREK! FIGHT THE POWER!
COACH
This match just keeps getting worse and worse.
Drek tries pedaling along with the tricycle but, shockingly enough, finds that he’s not moving too quickly. That point is only reinforced as he walks an elderly couple pass by him with accompanying canes and walkers. He winds up feeling further shamed as a Rascal scooter zips by him, moving a swift 10-miles-per-hour. Getting frustrated with his lack of progress, Drek picks the tricycle up and hurls it at the Bible-Thumpers group. The crowd parts like the Red Sea as the trike sails past them and breaks through the back window of Gallagher’s car.
*CRASH~!*
COACH
Hmm.
COLE
Well, that’s going to cost Drek Stone a pretty penny.
CABOOSE
I guess. Even I have to admit it’s not cool to vandalize someone’s house like that.
With that out of the way, Drek finally takes this opportunity to sprint towards the fitness center. He manages to push himself through the double doors and step into the building!
COACH
Imagine! What a novel concept! Actually running to the fitness center!
COLE
Well, to be honest, who’s smart enough to think of that?
Drek tries jogging past the front desk, but it turns out Alix was actually waiting for him behind the double doors. As Drek enters the room, she runs at him with a clothesline -- BRINGING THE TWO OF THEM OVER THE FRONT DESK AND ONTO THE FLOOR!
“YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
Everyone working out in the fitness center immediately stop and break out in a rabid cheer for their female hero. Alix gets up first off the floor first and starts laying in a series of stomps to the Heavyweight Champion.
CABOOSE
I don’t understand this. Why don’t these guys just forget about beating up the opponent and just sprint for the title?
COACH
Well, we wouldn’t really have much of a match then, would we?
Drek tries crawling on the floor to get away from the assault, but Alix isn’t letting up. She yanks Drek Stone up off the ground by his hair and begins pulling him into the weight room. One particular obese men steps off a weight bench and tries waddling away as quickly as possible. Everyone in the room scatters as Alix picks Drek up -- and BODYSLAMS him onto that newly evacuated weight bench! Drek, nursing his back, rolls over onto his chest. As soon as he does so, Alix grabs him by his hair and picks his head up slightly off the bench.
CABOOSE
Oh no…..oh no! She wouldn’t!
COACH
She might!
CABOOSE
She couldn’t!
COACH
SHE IS!
ALIX WIPES DREK’S FACE INTO THE FAT GUY’S ASS SWEAT!
CABOOSE
Oh god! That is DISGUSTING!
Drek immediately rolls off the bench to the ground, and starts clawing at his face to get the revolting scent away from his nostrils. The fans quite clearly love Alix pulling off such a disgusting act, as they break out in another chant for her.
“ALIX!”
“ALIX!”
“ALIX!”
As Alix looks down at her fallen opponent, she suddenly finds herself being brought down by a Leon Rodez bulldog! The people in the weight room cheer once more as Alix hits the ground face-first and rolls over onto her back. Rodez, without wasting a moment’s time, moves over to the military press machine and scales up to a standable level. With the inhabitants of Cocoa Beach rooting him on, Rodez points to them for a moment….
….AND JUMPS OFF THE MILITARY PRESS MACHINE, HITTING ALIX WITH BECAUSE THE LADY LOVES!!
COLE
What a move! Rodez might have just taken Alix out of this prestigious matchup!
CABOOSE
Prestigious isn’t the word for it.
As Rodez starts getting off the ground on his knees, an overweight soccer mom runs forward and hits him in the head with a Bible. The force of the shot sends Rodez staggering off-balance.
LADY
CAST ASIDE NEEDLESS SEX, MR RODEZ!
With fire in her eyes, the woman starts charging at the X-Champion with the Bible in her hands.
LADY
THE LORD NEEDS TO TEACH YOU ABOUT PEACE!!
As she charges at Leon Rodez like a distraught buffalo, he easily steps aside, allowing her to go crashing into a wall. As Rodez turns around, he suddenly finds a 10-pound bench press weight whisking near his head. Rodez DUCKS at the last moment, quick enough by merely a second to watch the weight make a noticeable dent in the fitness center’s wall.
COLE
Whoa!
Rodez pops right back up to his feet, to see who was responsible for such a despicable thing. There, he sees The Mad Cappa standing near the entranceway with a wide selection of weights at his disposal. This time, Cappa quickly picks up a 5-pound weight and hurls it at the inspiring OAOAST Porn Star. Rodez, with a deep breath, drops to his knee and somersaults forward out of the way. As he pops back up to his feet, he suddenly gets a kick to the stomach from Drek Stone. Drek then grabs him in a front-facelock position….JUMPS UP…..
….AND SPIKES HIM INTO THE CALF PRESS MACHINE WITH A STONECUTTER!!
CABOOSE
Stonecutter! YES! It doesn’t matter WHERE he does it! Fatal, each time!
Immediately after Drek hits the move, he gets up to his feet and finds himself face-to-face with The Mad Cappa!
COLE
Here we go! Drek Stone and The Mad Cappa, face-to-face!
COACH
But Mikey, the circumstances are a little different than they were a few months ago. Now, BOTH guys are heels!
CABOOSE
Heels?
FLAIR
THE NAITCHA BOY SAYS STOP USING INSIDER TERMS!! WOOOOOOO!!!
*CHOP!*
Drek Stone and The Mad Cappa start shoving each other as the surrounding sweaty crowd continues to cheer them on. Finally, Drek comes in with the first punch -- a hard shot to the right temple of The Mad Cappa! Cappa reels back for a moment but then comes shooting back with his own shot! The Mad Cappa and Drek Stone then start exchanging punches in the middle of the weight room as the fans continue to only get more rabid!
*BAM!*
*BAM!*
*BAM!*
*BAM!*
Drek and Cappa continue to beat upon each other unmercifully until they both wind up breaking through the double doors on the side. The camera follows them as the two arch rivals find themselves in the aerobic room, surrounded by treadmills, stair climbers, and power bicycles. After a continued fistfight, Drek finally manages to get the advantage. He then forcefully grabs Cappa by his right-arm and gives him a hard irish-whip. The Mad Cappa goes sailing into the wooden horse (you know, the things gymnasts jump over)! The crowd groans as Cappa hits the horse chest first and flips over it, landing on the TOP OF HIS HEAD!
COACH
OHHHH!!!
COLE
Ouch! Well, I guess that answered the question if things have patched up between these two.
CABOOSE
Who would ask such a dumb question anyway?!
Drek moves over and begins stomping The Mad Cappa -- but stops when he hears some particularly disturbing footage.
COACH
THE MAD CAPPA DID IT!! HE DID IT!!
CABOOSE
I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!! THIS IS DISGUSTING!!
BUFFER
Your winner….
CABOOSE
Ugh. Don’t say it….
BUFFER
…..AND NEEEEEEEEEW OAOAST ITALIAN CHAMPION………..
CABOOSE
I can’t listen to this…..
BUFFER
THEEEEEEEEEEEE MAAAAAAAAAAAAAD CAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPA!!!!
With rage in his eyes, Drek shoots his head up and spots a television monitor standing before him, hanging from the ceiling. He looks to his left and finds another television. Looking to his right, he finds ANOTHER television. And all of these televisions are playing the exact same thing:
COACH
You remember this well, don’t you Boose?
CABOOSE
Ugh, get this off the screen! We don’t need to see this anymore!
COLE
If I remember correctly, this was from License to Pin, when The Mad Cappa actually made Drek Stone tap out in the Hell-in-a-Cell, winning the Italian Championship back in the process.
CABOOSE
I think we’ve seen enough of those clips.
However, whoever’s responsible for running the television monitors doesn’t exactly agree. The footage rewinds itself and loops back to The Mad Cappa entrapping Drek Stone in the Walls of Cappa once again. Drek, taking a wary breath, can’t help but keep his eyes focused upon the TV screen.
DREK
I…..I DIDN’T TAP OUT!
Almost immediately -- somewhat like sheep -- well, not really somewhat. Exactly like sheep. But you get the idea -- the crowd in the aerobic room start chanting at the Heavyweight Champion about his shameful past.
“YOU TAPPED OUT!”
“YOU TAPPED OUT!”
“YOU TAPPED OUT!”
DREK
I DID NOT!! I DID NOT!!
“YOU TAPPED OUT!”
“YOU TAPPED OUT!”
DREK
IT WAS AN ALLERGIC REACTION! I’M ALLERGIC TO THE WALLS OF CAPPA!! I’M ALLERGIC! I HAVE A DOCTOR’S NOTE SAYING SO!!
COLE
Uh oh. Drek Stone is starting to flip out here.
CABOOSE
Well, if he has a doctor’s note, case closed, I think.
DREK
YOU PEOPLE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ALLERGIES! NOTHING!!
Unfortunately, since Drek Stone was so busy screaming at the audience about his terrible allergies, he’s unable to notice The Mad Cappa locking a handcuff around his taped wrist. In a flash, Cappa then secures the other end to a nearby treadmill.
CABOOSE
What?! What the hell is The Mad Cappa doing?!
Drek, looking shocked that Cappa would pull such a dastardly thing, tries pulling at the handcuff, but inevitably finds himself securely attached. Drek moves onto the treadmill to get a better grip of the cuff, allowing Cappa the chance to turn on the running machine.
DREK
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! I’M ALLERGIC TO TREADMILLS TOO!!
Drek starts running in place as The Mad Cappa grinds up the treadmill’s speed to its top level. The machine starts moving at a FRANTIC pace as Drek struggles to keep up with it, running as fast as he could. Cappa laughs as he runs out of the room, continuing his bid for the Heavyweight Title.
DREK
AHHHHHHH! JOSIE!! GET ME OFF THIS CRAZY THING!!
Drek then looks up and finds the License to Pin footage still playing on the TV screens.
DREK
AND GET THAT DAMN MATCH OFF THE SCREEN TOO!!
As Drek Stone continues to run in place, The Mad Cappa breaks through the double doors to find himself now in a basketball court.
CABOOSE
Guys, this isn’t good! Someone needs to get a key and quick. If Drek stays locked to that treadmill, that’s it. His Heavyweight Title run could be finished! Somebody DO SOMETHING!!
COACH
SO GO GET THE KEY!!
CABOOSE
…..hmm?
The Mad Cappa could see the beach -- and the Heavyweight Title -- calling for him through the next door. But he could also see Alix Spezia standing before him, clutching a basketball in her muscular hands. The room is surprisingly dark, but there’s no doubt to Cappa that the Tag Team Champion is standing before him.
ALIX
Hey Cappa……
Alix forcefully checks the ball to Cappa.
ALIX
….you think you have game?!
“YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!”
With a grin, Cappa catches the ball and starts dribbling it slowly.
*BOUNCE*
*BOUNCE*
*BOUNCE*
Alix pushes up to him to steal the ball quickly, but Cappa shoves her away with his hip.
COACH
Guys, Cappa’s Puerto Rican, right?
COLE
I think so.
COACH
Oh, this should be cake for him then.
COLE
….we make enough racist comments tonight yet?
After being checked away so easily, Alix focuses on The Mad Cappa with even more determination. With his back to Alix, Cappa starts easing his way backwards, still calmly dribbling the ball. But suddenly, Alix reaches a hand out and shoves the ball away from Cappa’s control. Cappa gasps as the ball goes bouncing down the court, but Alix runs after it, easily retrieving it. The fans pop loudly as Alix starts marching down the court with the ball safely dribbling before her.
Cappa can only look on and stare as Alix brushes past him….
SHE JUMPS UP….
SLAM DUNK!!!
COACH
BOOMSHAKALAKASHAKALAKA~!~!
CABOOSE
Already, I’d take her over anyone on the New York Knicks.
COACH
ZING~!
“ALIX!”
“ALIX!”
“ALIX!”
Alix hangs triumphantly off the basketball net, but starts screaming when she realizes that The Mad Cappa is pulling at her panties. Her scream is quickly drowned out by the deafening roar of all the fans standing in the court.
“YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!”
As Cappa continues to pull at Alix’s underwear, he notices that he’s no closer at removing the panties from her waist. Instead, a seam is starting to split along the top of her head. Cappa keeps pulling as the seam continues to tear along the back of Alix’s head, then her back, and finally towards her legs.
COLE
What the hell is going on here?
With one final pull, Cappa yanks at the panties -- and an entire bodysuit falls on top of him! Alix, clearly flustered, lets go of the basketball net, drops to the floor, and turns around to face The Mad Cappa!
COACH
WHOA!!!
COLE
THAT WASN’T ALIX! IT WAS…..
COLE
ABE VIGODA!!
COACH
The former OAOAST Chairman is BACK on HeldDown!
The Mad Cappa stares at this Alix IMPOSTER~! in absolute shock.
VIGODA
Yes, indeedy, son. WHO GOT GAME NOW, BOYEEEEEEEE~?~!
For absolutely no reason whatsoever, Abe Vigoda starts doing the Charleston in the center of the basketball court. The Mad Cappa is speechless. The fans are speechless. The announcers:
COLE
…..
CABOOSE
……
COACH
……
All speechless. Finally, The Mad Cappa just shakes his head and starts breaking for the final door.
COLE
So wait…..does this mean Abe Vigoda has been Alix the entire time?
CABOOSE
Well, it certainly would explain a lot of things.
COACH
That bicyclist earlier must get off on some really wrinkly titties then….
As The Mad Cappa gets closer to the door leading to the beach, Leon Rodez suddenly leaps out from behind the bleachers and pulls down Cappa’s shorts! Everyone in the building screams out in laughter as The Mad Cappa tries desperately to cover up his Puerto Rican flag thong.
COLE
*whistles*
CABOOSE
GHEY~!
As Cappa struggles to pull his pants back up, Rodez runs out the door and steps onto the beach. The fans in attendance at Cocoa Beach break out into a wild roar, realizing that Leon Rodez is now the closest one to obtaining the Heavyweight Championship. He starts taking a few steps towards the ring but is suddenly surrounded by his right-wing Christian best friends again.
RODEZ
Oh, Jeez. What the hell do you guys want now?!
Sister Mary Jane, an elderly nun from the Great Church of St. Dominic, steps out of the group with a bottle of clear liquid in her hand. She does the Sign of the Cross upon Rodez’s forehead, then calmly starts spraying the liqud into his eyes.
RODEZ
Oh my God, that BURNS!!!
MARY JANE
MR. RODEZ, THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU!! I PROMISE TO GET SATAN OUT OF YOUR SOUL!!
As Rodez shields his eyes in pain, the nun places her right hand on Rodez’s forehead and opens the Bible to some random page.
MARY JANE
SATAN, EVACUATE THIS YOUNG MAN’S BODY! LET GOD FILL HIS HEART WITH ABSTINENCE AND PRAYER! DRIVE OUT THE EVILS OF SEX, DRUGS, AND ROCK N’ROLL!
As Sister Mary Jane continues her exorcism upon the X-Division Champion, the crowd suddenly turns to the ocean when they hear someone screaming from a far distance.
SWIMMER
Help me! HELP ME! I’M DROWNING!
However, the Christian group still stays focused on Leon Rodez, determined to help evacuate him from the Devil.
RODEZ
Guys…..YO! Shouldn’t someone go out and try to help that swimmer?
MARY JANE
Help him? Oh, God will help him with salvation, yada, yada, yada. Now, BEEZLEBUB, THE LORD DEMANDS YOU LEAVE THIS YOUNG MAN’S BODY! MAY HE NO MORE TAINT THIS COUNTRY WITH IMMORAL PORNOGRAPHIC VIDEOS!
As the mob starts to tighten their circle around the X-Champion, Leon Rodez suddenly breaks through them with lightning quick speed and starts darting towards the ocean.
COACH
Now that is a real hero! He’s determined to save that poor swimmer out there!
As Rodez dashes towards the ocean to save this unfortunate diver, the footage suddenly begins to slow down. Instead of running quickly, Leon Rodez seems to actually be going in slow motion. His footprints in the sand become more impactful. The wind slowly blows around him, causing his hair to lightly flip around his head. And from nowhere in particular, a familiar jingle can be heard.
Some people stand in the darkness
Afraid to step into the light
Some people need to help somebody
When the edge of surrender’s in sight..
The camera dramatically catches the swimmer struggling the ocean, then Rodez continuing to surge towards the water.
Don’t you worry!
Its gonna be alright
‘cause I’m always ready,
I won’t let you out of my sight.
As Rodez gets closer to the ocean, the camera suddenly finds someone running alongside Leon Rodez. Rodez comes to a slow stop and looks across him to find….
RODEZ
PA…….PAM…..
PAMELA ANDERSON
Rodez, let me handle this one. Don’t worry about it.
Pamela Anderson then shoves Leon Rodez into the sand and dives into the ocean, presumably to save the diver.
I’ll Be Ready
I’ll Be Ready
Never you fear
No, don’t you fear
I’ll be ready
Forever and always
I’m always here.
Of course, we don’t care about him anymore.
CABOOSE
Was that PA…..PAM…..
COACH
PAM…..um, PAM…..
COLE
Pamela Anderson, right? I don’t understand this attraction everyone has to her.
COACH
I didn’t even realize she still did this gig!
As Rodez rolls along the sand, still enamored with the fact that Pamela Anderson touched him on the shoulder, he slowly moves onto his knees. Once he gets up, he starts running forward and almost goes crashing into a hot dog vendor. However, he manages to stop himself at the last minute from imminent deep-fried disaster. Wanting to confront this near catastrophe, Rodez gets ready to scream at the vendor -- but stops when he actually realizes who it is.
CABOOSE
Well, now this is just getting ridiculous!
Rodez shakes his head in surprise before speaking to this superstar actor who has fallen from grace.
RODEZ
David…..it’s come to this?!
HASSELHOFF
It’s not too bad! All the free hot dogs you could want, you know?
The ever-popular AWKWARDNESS floats down between these two modern American heroes as they slowly stare down at their feet, wanting to break away from the conversation but not quite knowing what to say. Finally, Leon Rodez makes the first move.
RODEZ
Well, David…..I, uh….hmm…..I have a Heavyweight Title to win. I’ll talk to you later.
HASSELHOFF
Yeah, sure, sure. Nice seeing you, man.
As Leon breaks away to obtain his first ever Heavyweight Championship, David Hasselhoff thinks out loud to himself.
HASSELHOFF
An actor winning a professional wrestling Heavyweight title?! That could rejuvenate my career!
Seconds after Rodez starts running down to the beach, Hasselhoff goes chasing after him.
COACH
Well, that probably isn’t going to end good.
COLE
Wait, I’m being told someone else is walking around here….
The camera picture leaves the Rodez Saga for a second, and spots Drek Stone jogging along the beachside, trying to get back into this thing.
CABOOSE
YES! DREK! How do you think he got out of those cuffs?!
COACH
Let’s just say a wizard did it.
The Heavyweight Champion continues to run along the beach, desperately trying to get his title belt before someone could steal it from him. Along the way, he makes it a point to stomp down sandcastles and grin at the children’s sobbing faces as he does it. He suddenly stops his run in the middle, however, when he spots someone tanning on a beach towel. With a smile, Drek eases his way over to the man, wanting to get a better look at what exactly the casual tourist is doing.
DREK
Hmm.
Drek Stone slowly looks down at the lotion-covered face of this casual beachgoer. With evil intentions dancing through his mind, Drek reaches down and grabs a nice, heavy handful of sand.
COLE
Oh, come on. There’s no need for this.
With reckless abandon, Drek then drops the cloud of sand onto the tourist’s face. The man turns and starts coughing as Drek steps back -- and KICKS a plume of sand into the man’s face!
CABOOSE
YES! YES! That’s how you treat a 100-lb weakling! Wonderful.
Drek Stone lets out a LOUD laugh as the man rolls over, trying to get the sand of his eyes. He then stands --
--and keeps standing --
--and keeps standing!
COLE
UH-OH!
COACH
That wasn’t a 100-lb weakling, guys!
With unbelieving eyes, Drek stares upwards as the man’s height continues to rise. Finally, the Heavyweight Champion comes to the same realization everyone at home has already discovered.
COLE
IT’S THE SADIST!
CABOOSE
RUN, DREK! RUN!
DREK
Without waiting another second, Drek starts high-tailing it out of there, not wanting to face The Sadist’s wrath. The Sadist takes a moment to wipe the sand out of his eyes, then pulls a pair of sunglasses out of his swim trunks. He slowly puts them over his eyes, cracks his fists together, then starts stalking down the beach after Drek Stone! The fans of Cocoa Beach start cheering rabidly as Drek jets down the beach, with the suntan lotion-covered face of The Sadist following right behind him.
CABOOSE
Come on, Sadist! It was a joke!
COACH
Can’t blame the man. He was trying to pick up chicks, na’mean?
CABOOSE
Na…..what?
As Drek zooms down to the beach, he comes to The Mad Cappa and Alix shoving each other back and forth. Suddenly, Leon Rodez comes between the two of them and pulls them apart.
THE MAD CAPPA
Why the hell would you have Abe Vigoda dress up in a Alix costume?!
ALIX
I told you! I thought it would be FUNNY!!
LEON RODEZ
Guys, guys, come on. That’s enough fighting! Cappa, I hate you. Drek, you’re an asshole. Alix, you be one happening ho. And while I know we’re in the middle of a match right now, stop and think about it for a second. We’re on a beach, right?
CAPPA
Yeah….
LEON RODEZ
The weather outside is beautiful, correct?
DREK
Sure.
LEON RODEZ
So come on! There’s only one thing we really can do right now. Let’s….
ALIX
DANCE!
Everyone on the beach -- the fans, the wrestlers, and even the referee -- suddenly break out into a wild beach dance as a boom box nearby starts to play some lively pop music.
ALL
I’m gonna grab my girl
And head to the beach
Hick-A-Doo-La!
Drek Stone and Alix start grinding together as the song plays.
ALL
We’re gonna all hang then
And then maybe then
Hick-A-Doo-La
Cappa and Rodez fall simultaneously to the sand, then do kip-ups back to their feet
CAPPA, DREK, RODEZ
Cause I’m a Hick-A-Doo-La Boy!
ALIX
And I’m a Hick-A-Doo-La Girl!
ALL
And together it’s a Hick-A-Doo-La world!
Hick-A-Doo-La!
As everyone on the beach dances in place, Cappa leans over to Alix with a confused look on his face.
CAPPA
Alix, what does Hick-A-Doo-La mean?
The music stops for a moment as everyone stares at The Mad Cappa.
ALL
WHAT DOES HICK-A-DOO-LA MEAN?!
ALIX
Well, Hick-A-Doo-La is that special feeling you get when you fondle your tag team partner!
RODEZ
It’s having kinky sex with two beautiful girls!
DREK
It’s stomping grapes at your beautiful summer home in Sicily!
STEPHEN POPICK
It’s obeying ALL the rules!
Simulatenously, Drek Stone, Leon Rodez, Alix, and The Mad Cappa pick Stephen Joseph up over their head and run towards the ocean. They then throw Stephen Popick…
*SPLASH*
…into the water!
“WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”
Suddenly, the music stops and all four superstars stare each other down. But before they can react, The Sadist stomps by and pushes both Drek Stone and The Mad Cappa to the ground. Drek and Cappa look up in absolute shock.
DREK
CAPPA
All four wrestlers then start sprinting for the ring, really eager to capture the Heavyweight Title they all feel they’re entitled to.
COLE
It’s a wild sprint to capture that title in the center of the ring! Who’s gonna get to it first?!
CABOOSE
Come on, Drek! GET THAT TITLE! COME ON!!
Somehow, Alix actually manages to pull away with the lead. Drek, Cappa, and Rodez start screaming as Alix hops up to the ring apron with one jump and tries making her way in. But before she can step through the ropes, Cappa snatches her in a powebomb position and starts pulling her away from the ropes. Alix tries holding onto the top rope with all her strength, but Drek and Rodez work together to swat at her arms. Finally, she’s forced to release. As she does, Cappa runs forward and….
*CRASH!*
GIVES HER A CAPPABOMB ONTO THE WOODEN RAMP! Instantly after Alix hits the ground, she breaks through several of the planks, leaving an imprint of her body in the wood! The fans can’t believe it, and break out into a loud series of jeers. However, those jeers are quickly broken up by a familiar chant.
“HOLY SHIT!”
“HOLY SHIT!”
“HOLY SHIT!”
The Cocoa Beach crowd breaks out into a wild applause as Alix rolls around a mangled mess of wooden planks and splinters.
COLE
My god! Alix went RIGHT THROUGH that wooden ramp!
CABOOSE
What a POWERFUL powerbomb! I already respect The Mad Cappa even more!
The Mad Cappa turns around and spots Drek Stone and Leon Rodez standing there watching him. It’s now down to those three. An actual moment of silence passes between the competitors before they suddenly make a wild scramble to the ring again! Leon Rodez tries sliding into the ring to get the belt quickly --
“YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!”
-- but Cappa manages to hold onto his ankle, keeping him from getting into the ring!
CABOOSE
Oh my god! This is too close! Cappa, hold him there! Please!
Rodez tries kicking himself away from Cappa’s grip, but it’s no use. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Drek Stone comes running with a beach umbrella in his hands. He swings it upward --
-- AND SMASHES THE UMBRELLA OVER CAPPA’S HEAD! The Mad Cappa’s head pops out through the other side of the fabric, effectively hanging the umbrella off his neck!
COLE
Beach umbrella! Beach umbrella! Beach umbrella!
CABOOSE
YES! WE KNOW!
Cappa stares at Drek Stone with a blank expression on his face for a moment, then slowly starts falling backwards.
COACH
TIMB-E-E-R-R-R-R-R-R-R!
Cappa hits the grains of sand lifelessly, with the umbrella still wrapped around his neck!
COLE
Looks like Cappa might be out of this match too! We could be down to two!
With Cappa’s grip now released from his ankle, Leon gets back up immediately. With no one blocking him, Rodez is free to RUN FOR THE GOLD….
CABOOSE
NO! NO!
….NO! DREK HOPS UP TO THE APRON AND YANKS AT LEON’S HAIR! Leon turns around quickly and gives Drek Stone a hard shot to the face. Drek reels back, coming close to falling off the apron, but Rodez hangs onto him by his head. He pulls the Heavyweight Champion towards the corner and starts forcing him to climb the turnbuckle.
COACH
What is Leon Rodez prepared to do here?!
CABOOSE
Come on, Leon! This is the guy you just danced with!
Still grabbing a full hold of his opponent’s hair, Rodez finally forces Drek to stand on the top rope. Once he does so, Leon starts climbing up after him. Eventually, they both end up on the top turnbuckle, with the reaction in Cocoa Beach starting to reach a fever pitch. Leon hooks Drek Stone up in a superplex position, and the fans start screaming even louder.
CABOOSE
NO, NO, NO, NO!!!
COLE
Is he going to push him off that turnbuckle?!
Finally, after taking a few moments to summon his strength, Rodez LIFTS DREK STONE UP --
-- NO! DREK BLOCKS IT!
Not being deterred, Leon tries lifting Drek up AGAIN --
--NO! DREK BLOCKS IT AGAIN!
Rodez tries a third attempt, but suddenly Drek drops his head, placing it near Rodez’s midsection. Stone suddenly lifts his neck up quickly --
-- AND DROPS LEON RODEZ FROM THE TOP ROPE TO THE SANDY BEACH WITH A BACK-BODY DROP!! LEON LANDS FLAT ON HIS BACK AFTER FALLING FROM THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
COACH
WHOA!!!
CABOOSE
YES! THAT’S IT!
“HOLY SHIT!”
“HOLY SHIT!”
“HOLY SHIT!”
CABOOSE
Come on, Drek! This thing is over! Grab the title!
However, instead of seizing his opportunity and rushing for the title, Drek falls off the top rope onto the ring mat. He simply looks too spent to reach for his belt.
COLE
What’s going on here?! Everyone is out cold! Who the hell is going to claim this title?!
COACH
WAIT….wait, Cole! Not everybody!
As the fans wait for one of the competitors to stir, they can only watch as David Hasselhoff jumps out through the crowd and over the ring barrier. He makes a sprint for the ring as the fans scream for someone -- ANYONE -- to stop this!
COLE
NO! NO!
COACH
DON’T TELL ME!
DAVID HASSELHOFF SLIDES INTO THE RING!!
HE REACHES FOR THE TITLE!!
NO!!!
THE SADIST SUDDENLY GRABS A HOLD OF HASSELHOFF’S ANKLE AND YANKS HIM OUT OF THE RING!!
COACH
OH MY GOD!!
In one swift motion, The Sadist wraps a hand around Hasselhoff’s throat, lifts him up --
-- AND CHOKESLAMS HIM INTO THE SAND!!
COLE
What a chokeslam!
CABOOSE
Serves Hasselhoff right! Go back to Germany!
With Hasselhoff now taken out of the match as well, Drek Stone slowly starts to stir in the ring. The fans begin screaming as they see the completely worn out Drek start to muscle himself onto his knees.
CABOOSE
Yes! Go Drek! Come on!
COLE
Could this be it?!
With the Heavyweight Title halfway across the ring from him, Drek starts to slowly crawl towards it. The fans of Cocoa Beach really start shouting for anyone to stop him, but it looks to be useless at this time. Drek keeps crawling. Crawling for his gold. Crawling for HIS property. Finally, he gets close enough!
CABOOSE
YES! YES!
He reaches his arm up --
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!”
-- and wraps his hand around the Heavyweight Title!
*DING! DING! DING!*
BUFFER
WINNER OF THIS MATCH…..AND STILLLLLLLLLLLLLLL OAOAST HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION……DRRRRRRRRRRRRRREK STOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!
The REAL sounds of “Woke Up This Morning” start to blast over the loudspeakers as Drek pulls the title closer to him and hugs the gold tightly near his chest.
CABOOSE
Oh, wow! I can’t believe it! What an amazing champion! What an absolutely inspiring champion!
COLE
Well, Drek Stone is sure to go in the record books now. The first-ever Run for the Gold winner! Folks, this was an entertaining one the entire way through, no doubt about it!
COACH
I don’t even know what the hell happened.
As Drek holds the title to his chest, he starts using the top rope to pull himself up to his feet. Once he gets to a standing position, and all is right in the world to him, the hard-rock sounds of an electric guitar are enough to scare the Heavyweight Champion once more.
CUE: Black
CABOOSE
NO!
COLE
COULD IT BE?!
CABOOSE
Come on! Keep him out of here! Nobody let him through!
With wide eyes, Drek stares out at the entranceway, obviously not wanting to see his Zero Hour at this point and time. Stone then moves to the ring ropes facing the ramp and leans out over the top, signaling to Hoff that’s he ready to fight him. However, since his attention is so solidly focused on the ring ramp, he’s unable to notice someone running out through the crowd.
Someone jumping over the ringside barrier.
Someone sliding into the ring.
And someone KNOCKING DREK STONE OVER THE TOP ROPE!
COLE
HOFF!!
CABOOSE
OH, DAMMIT!
Once Drek hits the ground, Hoff immediately climbs out through the ropes to follow him. Drek tries sprinting away from the current #1 Contender, but Hoff simply won’t allow him to get away. He grabs Drek by his left arm, yanks it towards him, and brings Drek Stone down with a HARD short-arm clothesline! The fans in the building let out a wild cheer as Drek drops to the ground nursing his neck.
“YEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!”
Once Drek spends a second regaining his bearings, he grabs his title belt and starts making a wild dash towards the beach. Hoff chases after him like a lion stalking his prey, knowing he has the champion at his mercy. Drek tries desperately to run down to the ocean, but once he actually gets close to the water, Hoff hits him with a clothesline to the back of the head, bringing Drek Stone down once more.
CABOOSE
Come on! Where’s the Sadist when you need him?! David Hasselhoff?! Abe Vigoda?! SOMEONE! SOMEONE STOP HOFF FROM DOING SOMETHING WE’LL ALL REGRET!
Not happy with simply knocking Drek Stone down, Hoff picks him up off the beach by the back of his head. He takes a moment to brush the sand off Drek’s chest, then lightly kicks the Heavyweight Title off to the side. Drek woozily tries to fall down, but Hoff keeps a solid hold on him.
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!”
Unleashing a violent scream, Hoff picks Drek Stone up….
*BAM!*
*SPLASH!*
…..AND SPINEBUSTERS HIM INTO THE OCEAN!
The fans in Cocoa Beach start going absolutely INSANE as Hoff rises and stands before the Heavyweight Champion, proudly grinning at what he just did.
CABOOSE
I can not believe this! What happened to the honor Hoff used to have?! I ACTUALLY USED TO RESPECT THAT GUY! I can’t believe it!
As Drek lays lifelessly in the water, Hoff picks the Heavyweight Title off of the beach. With a wink, Hoff looks out at the fans, then wipes the grains of sand of the gold plate of the Heavyweight Championship. Finally, Hoff symbolically places the title over his shoulder, receiving a massive positive reaction in return.
COLE
Hoff was the Heavyweight Champion once before! Could this be what we see at Zero Hour?!
COACH
Well, minus the beach, of course. But honestly, Cole, I really do think this is a good sign of the future! Can Drek Stone actually beat Hoff?!
CABOOSE
YES! YES! Even after Hoff’s disgusting actions tonight, Drek Stone will destroy him at Zero Hour! He has to!
Hoff raises the title up over his head, as the current sweeps in and slowly starts to take the lifeless body of Drek Stone out to sea. The camera fades away as Drek floats further out into the ocean. Missing one important possession. The one possession that means the most to him. The one possession he fought so unbelievably hard for tonight.
The OAOAST Heavyweight Title.
Now proudly sitting over Hoff’s shoulder.
