Zack Malibu

An owner has never been revealed. We've always used the Corporate Office/company reps like Watts and whatnot to pop in and make rulings, etc. It's funny you mention this, because I had just been thinking should we plug anyone into the role, it should be Anglesault, having stepped away from the ring to run the company from behind the desk and not have it conflict with his career.

HI-YAH Heavyweight Title: Christian Wright © vs. Zack Malibu James Blonde and Faqu vs. The Global Party Exchange

Are you back on that. It was an incident not planned by TNA management, and the person wearing the shirt in question was reprimanded for it. Has that drilled through that thick skull yet? The actions of one man, who faced the music for it, do not define a whole company.

I don't know what kind of wrestling you've been watching, but there have been Border Patrol gimmicks for YEARS now. There were also Nazi heels that goose-stepped back in the day. Why don't you dig up Fritz Von Erich and tell him off for being such a bastard for doing that. Also, I highly doubt TNA management is racist seeing as how Ron Killings got two World Title reigns and gets a sizable push, and a group of Latinos is in a main storyline. Oh, can't forget about the Mexicans and the Japanese guys in the highly touted X tournaments either. But yeah, break out your marshmallows for all those burning crosses at Universal. Twat. Also, I don't know what you're talking about no one respecting TNA, because I respect them. I respect them for doing something different, for giving younger/under utilized talent a chance, and for gaining the balls to stand up to the WWE despite the fact that even I as a TNA fan know they're not ready to go head to head yet.

I've gotten it too, including just moments ago when I logged in.

Something will be said about the Zack Malibu/Christian Wright match for Zero Hour. What will it be? Who will say it? TUNE IN TO NIT...er, HELDDOWN TO FIND OUT!

You know the deal. COLE It has come down to this. It's main event time tonight, and it's a match that favors one participant in particular. It all started several weeks ago, when charter Upstart members Scotty Static and Johnny Jax verbally assaulted the duo of James Blonde and Faqu, targetting their home promotion of HI-YAH, our Japanese affiliate, in particular. HI-YAH officials were understandably upset by the slander, and a compromise was made that instead of the OAOAST World Title being on the line in tonight's main event, that Peter Knight would have a night off, and instead Christian Wright would defend the HI-YAH Heavyweight belt against an opponent chosen by HI-YAH officials. That man turned out to be Zack Malibu, the sworn enemy of the Upstarts, which no doubt angered everyone in that group. COACH That ain't the half of it. COLE However, Axel decided to turn this negative into a positive, using the loophole that while HI-YAH booked the opponent for Wright, they couldn't book the match. So Axel used his political power as GM to make this a special contest, one with a special referee...Christian Wright's muscle, Bohemoth, and stated that the match can only end via his count or his call. CABOOSE Zack's going to have a lot to deal with tonight. Wright is a hell of a competitor in his own right, I'll give him that. I'd go so far as to say he might not need the favortism, but it is what it is. If anyone can beat the odds, it's Zack Malibu. COLE Let's go up to the ring where Michael Buffer awaits, ready to introduce us to all the participants in tonights main event. DING! DING! DING! BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest, scheduled for one fall is your main event of the evening, and it is for the HI-YAH HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE WORLD! "Back In Black by AC/DC hits as soon as Buffer's last word echoes throughout the arena, and down the rampway comes the official for the contest, sporting a tight fitting referee shirt with a popped collar! COACH What style...he even makes the zebra stripes look good! Bohemoth steps through the ropes and paces the ring, as Buffer introduces him to the crowd, who already seem to know him well judging by their loud jeers. BUFFER Introducing first, the official for tonights matchup...BOHEMOTH! Bo stands by the ropes and smirks, while the crowd lets him have it. After his music fades the lights drop, and pulsing strobes of blue and gold flicker on the entranceway, as the opening bass lines to "Getting Away With Murder" hit. Once the song kicks in, the appearance of the OAOAST's longtime defender draws a large pop from the crowd, as the fans go wild when Zack makes his way to the ring. BUFFER Coming down the ramp, he is the challenger tonight. Weighing in at an even two hundred pounds, hailing from Providence, Rhode Island, this is ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALIBU! Zack steps through the ropes and climbs up on the middle rope, sliding off his hooded vest and throwing it out to the crowd, then pounds his chest and throws his arms up, working the crowd into more of a frenzy! Malibu hops down and circles the ring, giving a glare to Bohemoth, who just smiles back at him cockily. He finds Knight's box and, mimicking Alf earlier, hops onto the turnbuckles and glares at him as Knight holds up the World Title belt, telling Zack "It's mine!" The lights stay dim as "Slither" hits, and the crowd is deflated, their frenzy turning into a chorus of boos as Zack's opponent is introduced. BUFFER His opponent, he is the current reigning and defending HI-YAH Heavyweight Champion...from Raleigh, North Carolina, weighing in tonight at two hundred, thirty three pounds, he is "The Natural", CHRIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSTIAN WRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT! Wright throws his hood back and walks to the ring, locking eyes with Zack on his path to the squared circle. Wright enters and paces back and forth as he removes his entrance attire, revealing the sixteen pounds of gold wrapped around his waist. The lights come up and Wright removes the belt, and he and Zack meet in center ring, as Wright hands the belt over to Bo, who holds it in the air. COACH All right, see, he's playing it down the middle so far. CABOOSE The match hasn't STARTED yet! DING! DING! DING! COACH You were saying? Lockup to start, and Wright quickly uses a go behind, and wraps his arms around Zack's waist. Malibu fires back a pair of elbows to stun Wright, and then counters with his own go behind, then releases and hits a thunderous chop to the back of Wright, nailing him right in the middle of the back! Wright reels, and Zack takes him and holds him in a side headlock, but then finds himself shot to the ropes. He stops short of Wright's leapfrog attempt, and then opens up on the scholarly Upstart, hammering him with right hands before sending him to the ropes and connecting with a spectacular dropkick, one that sends Christian Wright bailing out of the ring! COLE Only moments into the match and Christian Wright is looking for the high road, despite the fact that the odds are in his favor! COACH How do you figure? The man was shoehorned into this main event slot simply as an act of vengeance from both the HI-YAH and OAOAST Corporate Offices! They go and stick the poster boy over there against him, and you're telling me the odds are in Christian's favor? COLE He's got the backing of the General Manager, the OAOAST World Champion watching his back along with the rest of your crew, and his BEST FRIEND is the referee for the match? How is Zack NOT the underdog here tonight? COACH PK is up in that luxury box and, like Caboose said earlier, that's a long way from the ring for him. Malibu looks to exit the ring, but Bo puts a stop to that, blocking Malibu and telling him to get back while he counts Wright out. Zack glares at the official, but bites his tongue, knowing that he's going to have to play by the Upstarts rules for the time being if he expects to obtain championship gold here tonight. COACH That's right Zack, step back and let Bo do his job tonight. To his credit, Bohemoth gives a fair count, although one would wonder if he'd actually count to ten should Wright remain on the floor. Wright slides back in at the count of seven and comes face to face with Malibu, and shoves him back...so Malibu connects with a slap across the face that surprises the HI-YAH champ! Christian takes a wild swing, but can't connect with the haymaker, as Malibu hooks the arm and swings behind him, trapping his head in an inverted facelock and lifts...but Wright floats over and takes Zack by the waist and runs him to the ropes, rolling him up with a cradle! ONE! Malibu kicks out instantly, as Bo can't get to two, and the force of the kickout sends Wright towards the ropes, but he grabs the top rope and slingshots himself out to the apron. Zack gets up, and Wright tries a springboard, but Zack rushes over and pushes his feet off the rope, back to the apron! Zack takes him by the head and runs him across the apron to ram his head into the turnbuckle, but Wright puts a foot up to block! He tries to mash Zack's head into the turnbuckle, but Malibu blocks as well! The two men inch away from the post, each one with their hand on the other's head...and then Wright jumps down and snaps Zack's throat across the top rope! Malibu staggers back, allowing Wright to enter the ring and pick him up, then slam him down on the canvas. Wright then bounces off the ropes and falls forward, dropping an elbow into Zack's throat before rolling him onto his stomach and bringing him to his feet. Wright nails Zack with several chops as they both come up to their feet, and then fires him into the rop...NO! Zack puts on the brakes and swings around, taking Wright down by his legs and then delivering a hard stomp between the legs, much to the delight of the crowd and the fury of the referee Bohemoth, who pushes Zack away forcefully and berates him for such a tactic. Zack is silent as Bo threatens to disqualify him, but the big man then steps aside and allows Zack to continue on with the match, despite being unhappy with what he just did. COACH So let me ask you this, Michael, or you too, 'boose...do you approve of tactics like that? CABOOSE You're looking for the honest answer, right? COACH Yeah. CABOOSE I think he should have used both feet. COACH See, that's what I mean! That's the type of hypocrisy the Upstarts try to prevent. We do it, we're the bad guys, we're the renegades who didn't conform. Zack Malibu does it, and these fans jump up and down like they won the Powerball, and applaud it! COLE After what you've put that man through in the last several months, a kick to the nuts should be the least of Christian Wright's worries! Malibu moves towards Wright and nails him with a European uppercut that floors him, and sends him falling back against the ropes. Malibu drags him away and hoists him up for a vertical suplex, letting Wright dangle upside down and have the blood rush to his head...but Wright kicks his legs and manages to come back down and plant his feet on the mat, then lifts Zack with his own suplex, but Malibu slides out and falls behind, then takes him to the mat with a rear waistlock takedown, and then paintbrushes him across the back of the head! COACH See! Listen to these fans, cheering such unsportsmanlike conduct! Wright is incensed at Malibu's taunting, and so he charges...falling face first thanks to a drop toehold! Wright rolls over and sits up, holding his mouth, as Zack positions himself behind him, and then blasts him with a soccer kick to the back! Zack then hits the ropes and comes off with a soccer kick to the chest of Wright...but his leg is grabbed, and Wright clings onto it as he stands up, then takes Zack over with a Dragon screw! Wright then follows up with stomps before hitting the ropes and dropping an elbow...that misses! Zack rolls out of the way and gets to his feet, and then he drops an elbow...but that misses too! Wright covers quickly, but Bo hasn't even counted one before Zack pushes Wright off! They both get to their feet and Christian charges, but Malibu hits a monkey flip that sends Christian airborne...and he lands on his feet! He quickly leaps onto the middle rope and springboards backwards with a crossbody, wiping Zack out, and hooks the leg for a cover! ONE! T-KICKOUT! Zack pushes Wright off him again, but this time as he comes up to his feet, Wright hits the ropes and drives a knee into Zack's back, sending him spilling out through the ropes and to the floor below! As soon as contact is made with the floor, Bo begins his count, seeming a little too eager about the possibile countout that could ensue from this. COLE Again, blatant favortism. Wright's gotten the breaks and breathers so far, but as soon as Zack got sent to the outside, he was positioned to make that ten count! COACH Which is the way it should be with any referee, Michael. Your complaints fall on deaf ears. It's an eye for an eye! Bo gets up to the count of five by the time Zack is standing, and that's when Wright springs into action, hitting the ropes and then using a baseball slide...that gets dodged! Zack then yanks Christian to the floor by his legs and tries a short lariat, but it's ducked by the defending champion, who then turns Zack around, doubles him over with a kick, and hits a snap suplex on the floor! Wright then pulls Zack up by the head and stuffs him back into the ring, then gets on the apron and slingshots himself into the ring with a double stomp to the chest of Zack Malibu! "Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!" Wright walks across the apron and looks to the fans, then shrugs before turning his attention back to Zack. He pulls him up and applies a front facelock, clubbing Zack across the shoulder blades with his free arm. He sets Zack up for a suplex, but Malibu pushes out of the facelock, and when Wright moves forward, he's met with a hard chop to the chest! Christian reels from the blow, and then finds himself dumped on his back with a fireman's carry before being met with a dropkick to the back of the neck as he sits up! Malibu hits the ropes and executes a quebrada, but Wright puts his knees up, and Malibu lands hard and favors his ribs, and his injury enables Wright to easily hoist him up and drill him into the canvas with a stuff powerbomb! ONE! TW-NO! Zack kicks out, but Wright keeps on him, picking him up by the arm and then sending him to the corner, and then follows up with a running knee into the ribs! Wright then starts using shoulderblocks to further weaken Zack, and then lifts him up and seats him on the top rope. COLE Christian Wright is looking for something high-impact here. COACH Thank you, Professor. Wright climbs up, but Malibu pushes him off, doing his best to ward off the attack. Wright lands on his feet and runs right back up the ropes, but he gets pushed off again, and this time lands on his back! Zack uses the opening to start to balance himself on the top rope, but Wright gets up and rushes the corner again, knocking Zack off balance and crotching him on the top rope! Wright then moves up the ropes again, and this time Zack is too stunned to do anything about it, as he's taken over with a superplex by the HI-YAH Heavyweight Champion! Wright rolls on top, and covers, as the crowd watches on, hopeful for a kickout. ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! "Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaah!" The crowd gets what they asked for, as Malibu rolls a shoulder up to stop Bohemoth's count! Wright looks at his friend, who rolls his eyes in disbelief that Malibu was able to escape. Wright drags Zack to his feet and immediately sends him to the corner, then follows up with a charge...right into a boot! Wright staggers away after Malibu's act of desperation, then charges in again...into a double boot! He knocks Wright back once again, and then props himself up on the middle rope and takes Wright by the head, and then goes for a Tornado DDT...but Wright blocks it and carries Zack around and sticks him right back on the turnbuckles! Wright backs off, but before he can do anything, Malibu leaps off the second rope and uses a sunset flip to take him to the mat, but Wright rolls through before a count is even considered, and tries for the figure four...but Malibu kicks him off and sends him through the ropes, out onto the ramp! COLE Christian couldn't stop his own momentum from taking him out of the ring, but that's the opening that Zack needs to be able to mount a comeback. Wright is up quickly, but once again, when Malibu goes to exit the ring, Bo tells him to keep back. The crowd boos as Bo prevents Zack from keeping his offense flowing, but when Bo turns his back to Malibu and resumes the count, Malibu sprints across the ring and leaps up onto the top rope, launching himself into the air with a springboard crossbody, taking Wright out on the ramp! CABOOSE THERE! Now that's what I like to see, Zacky, take it to him! Malibu rolls off of Wright and lays there looking up at the lights, as the crowd chants him name loudly. "ZACK!" "ZACK!" "ZACK!" Groggy, Zack gets up, and retrieves Wright, but as he pulls Christian up Wright drives his head into Zack's midsection, which drops him to his knees! CABOOSE That was a blatant low blow! COACH It was not! Malibu was pulling him up, and was in too much of a damn hurry that he wound up hurting himself! Wright pulls Zack to his feet, but the challenger then stuns the champion by planting him with an inverted atomic drop, targetting the same area that Wright just punished on Malibu! The defending champion reels, as Malibu takes him and delivers another one before sending him down the ramp with an Irish whip, throwing him up in the air off the rebound and letting him drop back to Earth with a flapjack out on the rampway! "Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!" CABOOSE That was the very definition of a crash landing! He almost went right through the ramp! COLE Wouldn't be the first time. Remember the time Zack got press slammed through it by Northstar. CABOOSE Shattered Dreams. COLE Same person. CABOOSE Different name. COACH WILL YOU GUYS PAY ATTENTION!!? I mean geez, when did you ever expect me to be the one to say that!? Zack yanks Wright up from the ramp and stands him on his spaghetti legs, then chops him, causing him to stumble back against the ropes. Malibu continues to chop, every crack of the chest skin drawing a "WHOO" from the crowd before swinging around with a discus clothesline that drops Wright over the ropes and back into the ring! Wright rolls onto his back, and Malibu slingshots in and lands with an elbowsmash, then once again looks for victory as he hooks the leg of Christian Wright! ONE! TWO! NO! COACH What spirit. What a fighting champion! Bohemoth stands up and backs off, waving two fingers in the air. Malibu eyes him as he brings Wright up and holds him by the wrist, follows up with a wrench of the arm, and then surprises him by taking him down with a sweep kick! Malibu reaches down, but Wright kicks up with both feet and knocks Zack down, then gets up and goes to get Zack...but Malibu kicks him down with both feet! All of a sudden, BOTH MEN kip up and move towards each other, and wind up taking each other out with a double clothesline! COLE AMAZING! Zack thought he had the advantage, Wright tried mounting a comeback, and their efforts have resulted in them laying each other out! Both men are down on the canvas, eyes closed due to the growing weariness this match has brought on. The Metrosexual Monster starts a standing ten count, watching and waiting to see if either man can make it up by the count of ten, because if not, the match will be ruled a draw. CABOOSE Well to his credit, Bo is counting both men down, but I shudder to think what's going to happen if Zack is the first one up! The well-dressed warrior, making even a simple ref shirt look fashionable tonight, keeps counting down both men, who have barely stirred. Concern is apparent on Bohemoth's face as he keeps looking to Wright, which causes this to become the slowest ten count in history! Christian is the first to lift himself off the mat, and Bo takes a deep breath out of relief...only to turn and see Zack coming up as well. Christian doesn't see this as he has his back to his opponent, so Bo quickly spins his ally around, and it enables Christian to drop Zack with a DDT, putting them both back down on the mat! COLE Unbiased my ass! He blatantly helped him out there! COACH If you were wandering around in a daze, wouldn't you want a good soul to point you in the right direction? Wright then rolls Zack over onto his back, but instead of going for the pin, he clobbers him with punches and elbows across the face, pummelling him like there's no tomorrow! Wright then slowly stands up and brings Malibu with him and sends him to the ropes, catching him as he comes off with a facebuster...and then an inverted atomic drop...then an STO! Wright then bounces off the ropes and drops a knee across his forehead, completing the C4, and goes for the cover! ONE! TWO! T-NO! KICKOUT! COLE He kicked out of the C4! Wright slaps the mat, then approaches Bo, asking about the count! Bo shrugs his shoulders and tells Wright that Zack had the shoulder up at two, and apologizes for it! Wright turns around and puts the boots to Zack, not allowing him any space for recovery, then drags him closer to center ring before running out to the apron! Wright then races across the apron and up the ropes, then leaps off with a high elevation frog splash, crashing all of his two hundred thirty one pounds across Zack Malibu! He hooks the leg, and Bo drops down, as the crowd counts along out of habit. ONE! TWO! THRE---NO! CABOOSE HE KICKED OUT! COACH HOW?! COLE Well, he lifted his shoulder up off the mat before the three count, which means... COACH I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS! COLE Then why ask? Wright's jaw drops in shock, and Bo's eyes grow wider, as neither seem to believe that Malibu has escaped defeat! Wright immediately ducks out of the ring and climbs the ropes again, focusing on Zack before sending himself airborne, crashing down on him AGAIN with his Holy Grail of frog splashes! Wright hooks the leg as far back as he can, and watches as Bo counts, mouthing the count along with each slap of the canvas. ONE! TWO! THRE----NO! KICKOUT AGAIN BY ZACK MALIBU! "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Wright rolls off of Zack and slams his hands on the mat, having a temper tantrum in mid-ring. Bo helps his friend up to his feet, but Wright brushes him off, going in for the kill as he stomps Zack down before pulling him up and shooting him into the ropes, nailing him with another facebuster, another inverted atomic drop, and another...WAIT! Malibu throws his elbow back into the side of Wright's face, and then it's MALIBU who hits WRIGHT with an STO, putting them both down on the canvas once again! COLE Malibu blocked the C4, and look at how exhausted these two are! CABOOSE I hate to say it, Cole, but no matter which one of these guys wins, they're going to deserve it. Once again, Bo starts a standing ten count, as both competitors regain their breath and try to survive through the exhaustion. They both roll on their stomachs and start pushing themselves off the mat. Malibu manages to do it faster than Wright and hits the ropes, coming off as Wright has his head tucked low and nails him with a ZACK ATTACK~! that knocks him silly, sending him through the ropes and crashing down on the ringside floor! COLE The Zack Attack connected! COACH But he can't win the title with Wright on the floor! Titles can't change hands on countouts! Bo looks over the ropes and checks on Wright, who is holding his head and kicking his legs as he lay face down on the floor. Malibu takes a moment before stepping out to the apron, and then simply crouches in wait, waiting for Wright to get to his feet. The champion pushes up, then balances himself with the help of the security railing...and when he turns around all he sees is the blur of Malibu racing across the apron and then leaping off, connecting with a hard flying lariat across his chest! COLE Apron Run Diving Clothesline connects as well, and Wright is laid out on the floor! Zack gets up, sweat dripping from his forehead, as the crowd responds in kind, enthused by the thought of Malibu getting revenge on at least one of The Upstarts tonight. He pulls Wright up for what seems like the millionth time this match, but Wright shoves him backwards, and Malibu collides with the ringpost, smashing the back of his head! Zack falls to the side, clutching the back of his head, as Wright gets up, only to stumble over! He catches himself on the apron, and then moves towards the timekeepers table, reaching over ring announcer Michael Buffer and grabbing his HI-YAH Heavyweight Title. He grasps it in both hands, the metal center plate exposed, and aims for Malibu, waiting for him to get up...but the referee, a man that Wright sees as his closest ally, slides out of the ring and stands in the way of the potentially fatal blow! COACH What the... CABOOSE I don't think anyone saw this coming! Wright steps back, in amazement that Bo would dare stand in his way. The referee stands his ground, but a frustrated Wright, looking to get a win by any means possible, tries to blow past him...and gets pushed back! The crowd roars as the two friends are nose to nose, and when Wright tries to go by him again, Bo pushes back, and then starts trying to take the title from his hands! Wright tugs on it, but Bo won't let go, and the bickering between the two men has the crowd at a fever pitch...even moreso as Zack gets to his feet and comes over to the two men...AND GETS BLASTED WITH THE BELT AS WRIGHT RELEASES HIS GRIP! COLE NO! CABOOSE But wait, was that...oh would you look at this now! Bohemoth, the referee for this contest, stands over Zack, holding the belt, as the momentum of Wright's release caused Bo to fall back and clock Zack in the head. What looked like an accident seems to have been done with intent, as Bo tosses the belt down and then just shrugs, before reaching down and picking up a bloody Zack in his arms, and rolls him into the ring under the bottom rope! Bo slides in as well, while Wright climbs up on the apron and again ascends the turnbuckles, and hits a THIRD Holy Grail frog splash, crashing down across Zack Malibu! COACH That's it, he's done! He's taken three of these, he's had his head bashed into the ringpost, AND he got busted open by a beltshot. CABOOSE From the referee no less! COACH Accidents happen! CABOOSE Accident my ass. Wright covers, hooking a leg just in case Malibu has any fight left in him, as Bo makes the count. ONE! TWO! THREE...NO! NO! ZACK MALIBU THROWS HIS SHOULDER UP BEFORE THREE! COLE HE KICKED OUT! Wright can't believe it, so he keeps Zack down, pulling back on the leg again, as Bo counts. ONE! TWO! THRE-KICKOUT AGAIN! ZACK KICKS OUT AGAIN! Wright pounds on the canvas, and gets up, stomping Zack down hard before pulling him up and then striking him with a hard kneelift. He then traps him in a front facelock, but before he can Convert any sinners, Malibu pushes him back, and then fires off SCHOOL'S OUT out of the blue...AND IT HITS BO INSTEAD OF WRIGHT! COLE He ducked it! COACH HE HIT THE REF! DQ! DQ! Wright hits a low blow from behind before Zack can do anything, and then drills him with a reverse DDT, spiking his head on the canvas! Wright then goes and tries to wake Bo up, trying to help him come to, but nothing seems to work, as the giant has been dropped by the right foot of the OAOAST's most beloved star! With both his opponent and his saving grace down on the canvas, Wright grows desperate, and exits the ring again, once again taking his HI-YAH Heavyweight Championship belt into his hand! He rolls into the ring and braces himself, egging Malibu on...when all of a sudden somebody hops on the ring apron and yanks the belt out of his hands! COLE What the...it's ALIX SPEZIA! The crowd roars as Alix steals the HI-YAH belt from Wright, who spins around in shock as the spunky superstar tries to hop off the apron with his belt...but he grabs her by the hair! Wright, who has had his problems with the COD in recent weeks, has Alix in his grasp...but he's then spun around by her sistah from another mistah, Krista Isadora Duncan! Krista then hits a low kick that stuns Wright...AND HAS HIM OPEN TO EAT A SCHOOL'S OUT FROM ZACK! COACH Get those girls out of there! Malibu should have been DQ'd for hitting the ref, nevermind the outside interference! COLE COD has simply evened the odds for Zack. Beltshots, blatant favortism...that's nothing compared with a simple kick to the junk. COACH I oughta kick YOU in the junk, punk! Malibu covers, and the fans count to three, but the one person who can make that count official is still groggy. Malibu gets up and goes over to Bo, slapping him across the face and trying to bring him back to life, while COD pounds the apron, adding to the crowd rally for Zack Malibu! COLE Chicks Over Dicks have come out to even the odds, but the referee is down and...oh now wait just a second! The arena explodes in boos as the GPX start coming down the ramp, pointing and cursing at Krista and Alix for watching Malibu's back. The storm down the ramp, but before they can do anything, James Blonde and Faqu charge down the ramp and spin them around, and start brawling with them on the rampway to a loud pop! CABOOSE ALL RIGHT! COACH No...NO! What are they doing out here?! COLE Evening the odds, Coach! Bo starts to stir, and Malibu notices this, so he pulls Wright up...but as he does he has his eyes raked by the champion, and then gets carried over with a Northern Lights Suplex...but there is still no one to count the fall! COACH C'mon Bo, roll over, there's a pin going on! Amidst all the chaos, Bohemoth manages to come to, turning over to see Wright pinning Malibu down with the suplex, and he counts! ONE! TWO! NOOOOOOOOOOOO! COLE He kicked out! COME ON ZACK! Blonde and Faqu drive the GPX back to the dressing room, but the COD stay put at ringside, cheerleading Zack Malibu. Wright pulls Zack up and grips him by the head, setting up for Converting The Sinner...but Malibu takes his wrist and wrenches his arm, twisting his way out of it before yanking Wright in close and grabbing him, lifting him off the canvas with a FALLING STAR DRIVER~! CABOOSE HE JUST BOUNCED HIS HEAD OFF THE CANVAS! Malibu covers, and Bo drops to his knees, counting the pin... ONE! TWO! THRE---WAIT! BO HESITATES, AND DOESN'T BRING HIS ARM DOWN! COLE Sonuva, I KNEW it. I KNEW it would come down to this. COACH See that Zack...all those years of favortism have just bitten you on the ass. It's KARMA, baby! THREE! COACH WHAT THE!? KRISTA ISADORA DUNCAN SLID INTO THE RING AND PUSHED BO'S HAND DOWN FOR THE THREE COUNT! WE HAVE A NEW HI-YAH HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! COACH No...NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! COLE Hey, Axel said this match could only end by Bo's hand, and it did! The Upstarts finally got a taste of their own medicine! BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen, your winner, and the NEW HI-YAH HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD...ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK MAAAAAAAAAALIBUUUUUUUUUUUUU! The crowd EXPLODES, as "Getting Away With Murder" hits, but is barely audible as the crowd goes crazy. Malibu rolls off of Wright and just lays there, while Alix Spezia slides into the ring and drapes the HI-YAH belt over his chest. We go to Knight's box and the champion is livid, tipping over food trays and kicking his couch. The cameras then cut backstage to Axel's office, and he is NOT happy, including the General Manager tossing his desk over and kicking the TV down in a fit of rage! COLE I guess those two won't be going to the victory party tonight! COACH That was robbery, Cole! You know it and I know it! CABOOSE It was fair play. That man fought his heart out tonight, and it could have been all for naught if that goon didn't make the count. Good for COD, and Blonde and Faqu, to help even up the odds! Bohemoth helps Wright up, with Wright nearly falling right back down as he's so worn out from the contest. Meanwhile, other OAOAST Superstars, including Blonde, Faqu, Zack's former partner Leon Rodez, and even Tony Brannigan hit the ring, lifting Zack up on their shoulders as the arena explodes in an awesome fireworks display! COLE Those aren't bombs bursting in the air, that's the sound of celebration! Zack Malibu battled against all odds tonight at Zero Hour, and he has definitely put a wrench in the Upstarts plans for the OAOAST! COACH We'll take care of this! You mark my words, we'll take care of this! Coach slams his headset down and storms off, walking past the ring and up the ramp, glaring at the celebration in the ring. He meets up with Bo and Wright on the ramp, and the three complain about just went on, before the cameras cut back to the ring one final time, showing Zack Malibu holding the belt over his head with both hands, as the crowd chants his name. "ZACK!" "ZACK!" "ZACK!"

I've finally gotten the Oct. '05 thru Jan. '06 DVD's, and I'm loving it because it seems under Heyman's reign that everything in the span of one episode means something. Don't get me wrong, I've been following OVW for years and Cornette did a hell of a job producing excellent TV, but it just seems that the slightest thing is part of a grand scheme of angle advancement under Heyman. I just started watching September '05 on Friday night, and I'm already on disc 2 of October, having just finished the episode with the Boogeyman/Lashley match.

There was also the angle where Long and Maggs were scouting Bobby Eaton as a potential partner for Maggs as a Saturday Night angle, but Eaton was released before they ever followed through with anything.

How about coffee shops that run wrestling on widescreen TV's? I do that now. Silly DA, thinking he needs to be rich to do that!

Done!

That's not a TNA deemed nickname for Strong, it's just his ROH-smark nickname.

Same size as the WCW '98-2000 Toy Biz figures.

When they use the belt in Ultimate X, it's usually clasped on with a harness, IIRC. I could see Jarrett "accidentally" costing Monty the match, sending them into a feud with each other while Christian feuds with Abyss post-DX. Although I don't want to see JJ get involved. Christian should get strong wins right off the bat to establish him as a credible champion. I believe it was mentioned that Sting vs. Jarrett would be a match at Lockdown. Christian/Monty in a cage (perhaps my earlier mentioned scenario plays out and Monty dares Christian to take him on with no worries of outside forces playing into things), Sting/Jarrett, AMW/3D, and the Daniels/Joe/Styles cage blowoff could make for a tremendous Pay Per View.

Looks like the plan of "Orton Sr. bails out Randy to save the title whenever he's in danger" is out the window now for post-WM.

No kidding. Those are the only times William Regal has ever had abs!

I hope to God those are just prototypes, because Kip and Hoyt look terrible. You know Carnival is buying this one up!

OH CANADA~! Easily the best Styles they've done yet, and look, they come with DVD of their Turning Point match! Kind of appropriate that this version of Christian Cage will come with the Lockdown Cage Ring. He even looks stoned as a figure. Another Joe, along with the Cowboy. These aren't all the images, but just some of the better ones I figured I'd post. Also shown were some prototypes of Kip James, Lance Hoyt, and Kevin Nash, amongst others. Credit for these images goes to WrestlingFigs.com.

That isn't saying much. Also, I despise meatloaf (the food), but can tolerate Meat Loaf (the singer). Go figure.

Usual deal. Writing takes place here as I go, when finished, I'll let you know. Hey, that rhymed! COLE We are BACK with more HeldDOWN~! action for you, and up next is six man tag team action featuring two fresh feuds with a connected backstory. James Blonde and Faqu, who have worked off and on for the OAOAST since its inception, have made quite a name for themselves overseas with the HI-YAH promotion, a promotion that a few years ago began a talent swap arrangement with the OAOAST, as well as an agreement that each promotions respective titles would be honored in each others promotion. Recently the Global Party Exchange, charter members of The Upstarts, confronted Blonde and Faqu about their fame, claiming that what they've accomplished for HI-YAH means nothing, and that they mean nothing until they beat an elite team such as the GPX. HI-YAH took great exception to being mocked by The Upstarts, knowing their tension with the corporate office, and a deal was made that not only would Blonde and Faqu get their hands on Static and Jax, but that the HI-YAH Heavyweight Title would be defended at the next pay per view, Zero Hour. This is when fate intervened for the OAOAST, as General Manager Axel ruled that Peter Knight would be given Zero Hour off to prep for Anglemania. So HI-YAH, seeing the Upstarts getting favored, decided along with the corporate office of the OAOAST that Zack Malibu would be the one to challenge for the HI-YAH Heavyweight Title against the current champion, Upstart member Christian Wright! COACH You done? Seriously Cole, do you think any of this makes a difference? Do you think HI-YAH stepping in matters to us? No, because you know what, the GPX are better than Blonde and Faqu, and can prove. Christian Wright is a heavyweight champion. Zack Malibu isn't. Zack Malibu isn't what he used to be, otherwise he would've won the Lethal Rumble now, wouldn't he? CABOOSE You know exactly why he lost that match. COACH Oh whatever. Not to mention poor Christian Wright of all people, being thrust into this situation the same week that that pop tart Alix Spezia, that stupid trollop, tramp, wench...whatever...the same week she tries to embarrass that classy gentleman on live TV! The OAOAST is growing desperate, Cole, and when someone gets desperate, that means they're that much closer to downfall. COLE We'll see about that. "Make Her Say" hits, and the crowd goes BOOOOOO!, as the once popular duo who now oh so easily get under the skin of the fanbase make their way out. BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is six man tag team action! Introducing first, from HOTlanta, GA, and Detroit, MI respectively, with a combined weight of four hundred, twenty five pounds, Scotty Static and Johnny Jax...THE GEEE...PEEE...EXXXX! Static and Johnny work the crowd, knowing that they hate them and loving every second of it. Moments later their music cuts, and is replaced by another song, one of their ally and partner tonight. BUFFER Their partner, he is the current HI-YAH Heavyweight Champion. Weighing in tonight at two hundred, thirty three pounds, from Raleigh, North Carolina, this is CHRIIIIIISSSSSTIAN WRIGHT! Wright steps out and removes his hood, revealing a distinguished, yet sinister smile to the crowd. The Upstart trio heads to the ring, where they engage in more crowd play, as "Slither" fades from being heard. The song is then replaced by "My Own Summer", which gets a respectable pop from the crowd, as the perserverant duo of James Blonde and Faqu begin walking to the ring! BUFFER Approaching the ring at this time, weighing in tonight at a combined weight of five hundred, twenty three pounds, they are "Strong Stylin'" JAMES BLONDE and the "Samoan Tsunami", FAQU! Faqu and Blonde stay at ringside, ignoring the dares by the GPX to get in the ring with the odds not in their favor. Seconds later, the bass strings that open "Getting Away With Murder" can be heard throbbing over the speakers, and it brings the crowd to their feet! BUFFER Their partner, from Providence, Rhode Island, weighing in tonight at an even two hundred pounds, he is ZAAAAAAACK MALIBUUUUU! Wasting no time, Zack charges down the aisleway, and he, Blonde and Faqu slide into the ring, ready to go...but it causes the GPX and Wright to cautiously back off! Words are exchanged, but it's obvious everyone wants to get this one underway, as referee Charles Robinson tries to keep things calm before sounding the bell. Once the sides are seperated, two men from each team have to exit in order to get things started. Scotty Static seems eager to start for his team, and he gives Jax and Wright the thumbs up as they stand on the apron. From across the ring, big Faqu glares at the cocky competitor, but when the decision is made over who will start for the fan favorites, James Blonde is the one standing in the ring. The bell sounds, and Static dances around his foe, waving "HI-YAH boy" on and daring him to lock up. As Blonde reaches in, Static jumps back and continues dancing around, laughing as Blonde was unable to get him. He waves Blonde on again, and though James is hesitant at first, he reaches forward and manages to catch Scotty, locking up with him...until Static pushes him away! Scotty backs up and chuckles at Blonde's rapidly building frustration, and doesn't see Zack reach over the ropes and wrap his hand around his head and jerk him to the canvas! COACH Hey! He can't do that! CABOOSE He can, and he did. Scotty gets up and instantly turns to face Zack, pointing a finger and threatening him before turning around...and getting floored with a Blonde punch! Blonde then picks Scotty up and applies a side headlock, but can't keep it held on for long, as Static pushes him towards the ropes. Blonde rebounds and runs under a Static legdrop, but then stop and turns around, hooking a rear waistlock. Scotty manages to slip out and counters, applying one of his own, but Blonde counters that and uses another rear waistlock to take Scotty down to the canvas! He moves for Static's head, but Scotty is quick and gets away, then grabs Blonde in a side headlock as he comes up off the mat. Blonde lifts to counter with a back suplex, but Static floats over and uses his own rear waistlock to take Blonde down, and then targets the left arm, holding him in an armbar as both men come up to their feet...however they're close to the ropes, so Blonde reaches out and grabs the top rope, then backflips himself over and clocks Static with a pair of forearms to break! He goes to send Static into the ropes, but Static counters. Blonde bounces back, stopping himself from having to leapfrog over Scotty and instead pulling him up and dropping him with a scoop slam! He then pulls up Static's right arm and steps over it, drops a leg on it, and then pulls Scotty up to his feet, wrenching the arm and putting it behind his back with a hammerlock before releasing on his own accord and striking Scotty between the shoulder blades with an open hand chop! Blonde then turns Static around and sends him to the ropes, delivering an inverted atomic drop when Scotty comes back towards him! James then hits the ropes, but winds up running into a hiptoss from Static that takes him over! Static then reaches over and tags in Johnny Jax, who springboards in with a dropkick, but it gets swatted away by Blonde, and Jax crashes to the canvas! COLE I don't think that was the grand entrance Johnny Jax had planned on! Jax pushes himself up, only to find himself stunned by a pair of European uppercuts, but when Blonde places him in a standing headscissors, he backdrops his way out of it! Jax hits the ropes and plows into Blonde as the crowd watches on, and knocks him down with a shoulderblock. He hits the ropes again but this time Blonde is up, and nails a back elbow, and then a hard chop! Jax reels, so Blonde takes him and shoots him to the ropes, but it's countered, and the big man Faqu slaps his parnters hand as he bounces off the ropes! Referee Charles Robinson sees the tag, and Blonde slides through Jax's legs, and when Jax lifts his head up, he's floored with a running lariat from the largest man in the match! Faqu pulls Jax up and presses him overhead, but Christian Wright runs in for the save, and kicks Faqu in the stomach! The Samoan reels, and drops Jax back to his feet, so Wright and Johnny team up and take his arms, shooting him towards the ropes, and connect with a double dropkick that staggers Faqu! Then take him and send him in once again, their hands held together to deliver a double clothesline, but Faqu swings his arms down and breaks the clothesline, then nails each one with a chop. He switches off, chopping each one of them, then takes Wright by the head and lures him towards the ropes, and hurls him over! Jax nails him as he turns around, and then pulls him towards the open area of center ring, and delivers a jawbreaker before leaping up and cracking him in the back of the head with an enzugiri that finally drops the big man! COLE Johnny Jax has chopped the big tree down! COACH Tree? That chump is nothing more than a stump. The bigger they are, the harder they fall! Jax puts the boots to the fallen Samoan, and then hoists him up into a front facelock, dragging him towards his corner and holding Faqu as he tags in Christian Wright. Faqu pushes Jax into the corner to break the facelock, and then sees Wright stepping through the ropes, so he pulls him to mid-ring and clubs him across the back with forearms, then scoop slams him down before tagging Blonde back in. James Blonde races into the ring as Faqu soccer kicks Wright in the back to keep him down, and when Blonde comes off the ropes towards his partner, he's flapjacked into the air...and comes down on Wright with a splash! Faqu then hits the ropes and comes off with a big splash of his own, while Blonde tags in Zack, who springboards into the match for the first time with a frog splash onto the HI-YAH Heavyweight Champion! Wright tucks and rolls out of the ring as fast as he can, and the GPX hop off the apron and come to his aid, as Blonde, Faqu, and Malibu celebrate in the ring! CABOOSE These guys think they're safe on the floor, but I wouldn't put my money on it! The GPX and Wright all complain about Robinson's refereeing, but Lil' Naitch tells them that it's perfectly legal, because he saw the tags take place. Disgruntled, the Moral Highground returns to the ring, sneering at Zack Malibu, and now the two opponents for Zero Hour lock up! Wright sticks his leg out behind Zack and powers him down, and once his shoulders hit the mat Zack kicks his own legs out from under him, and lays on the canvas, and monkey flips Wright over! Still clutching his foes hands, Zack floats over to a mounted position and takes Wright's head in his hands, dazing him with some quick punches before pulling him up, wrenching the arm, and hitting a Russian legsweep. Wright shakes his head and sits up, but Zack hits the ropes and leaps over Christian, jarring his head with a rolling snapmare! Zack then hits the ropes again, but this time when he does Jax nails him with a knee to the small of the back, and Wright recovers in time to take Zack and hit a hard snap suplex! The well-educated Upstart then hits a falling kneedrop, and then locks Zack in a rear chinlock. Malibu powers up and sends him to the ropes, leapfrogging over his rebound, and then hiptossing him on the second rebound...NO! Wright hangs on and counters with a hiptoss of his own...NO! Zack brings his knee into Wright's gut, which keels him over, and then lifts him up in a fireman's carry...but Wright slips free and hits a quick back suplex! COACH Atta boy, Christian. Show that man what it means to be a World Heavyweight Champion. CABOOSE I'm fairly certain Zack Malibu knows what that is like. COACH And I'm fairly certain that Zack Malibu doesn't meet the requirements of a modern day champion. The Upstarts have caused an influx of talent the likes of which the world has never seen, and Christian Wright is right there at the forefront. Wright moves to his corner and tags in Scotty Static, and together the duo take Zack Malibu and hoist him up, dropping his legs across the top rope before using the slingshot momentum to suplex him to the canvas! Wright then grabs his own partner and lifts him up, then drops him into a legdrop on Zack! COACH That it, baby. U-N-I-T-Y! COLE It was only a matter of time before Coachman made a Queen Latifah reference on our flagship show. Static stands up and kicks and stomps Zack, then pulls him up and hits a Northern Lights Suplex! Robinson goes down to count, but Jax uses this as a diversion to sneak into the ring and plant his foot where the sun don't shine, while Malibu is helplessly pinned to the canvas! COLE He didn't want a pin there, they wanted to hurt Zack badly! COACH And they did! Robinson breaks his own count, jumping up and chastising Jax as he exits, while Static brings Zack up and hits an inverted atomic drop, then comes off the ropes with a running Yakuza kick...which gets caught, and Zack blasts Static with a spinning wheel kick! Malibu then heads for his corner and lunges for the Samoan Tsunami, and the man from the islands steps in, sending Static pleading and begging away from him! Faqu slowly stalks the cocky, loudmouthed superstar, and when Static realizes he won't back down, he comes forward with a flurry of punches that rock the big man, only to have an Irish whip attempt reversed...AND FAQU HITS A HURACANRANA ON SCOTTY STATIC! The crowd goes BANANA after the move hits, and Static slides to the outside! Faqu moves towards the ropes to follow his opponent, but Wright runs across the apron and drops him throat first across the top rope! As Robinson scolds him for his actions, Johnny Jax moves in for the kill, slingshotting into the ring and hitting a quick kick to the gut before dropping Faqu with a DDT! Jax then quickly gets out of the ring, as the protests of Malibu, Blonde, and the fans clue Robinson in that some chicanery, just possibly, could be afoot. COLE They may not be face to face fighters, but the trifecta of Wright, Static and Jax are proving to be very effective tonight. COACH I told you baby, that's unity. That's team spirit. CABOOSE Oh PLEASE let's not go there. COACH Nah, I know what you're thinkin' playboy, and there won't be any of that. But let's face it. Malibu is a broken man who won't admit it. We've been beating him, bloodying him, and leaving him for dead for months, but like a cockroach he keeps coming back. Blonde and Faqu, c'mon now, we're supposed to take THESE guys as threats? The same guys who Josie made into her "second string" when she was GM, and they couldn't hack that so she sent them back to Japan? The guys who, if you remember correctly, were brought back to OPPOSE the same man they're teaming with tonight! COLE Thanks for the history lesson Coach, but if you actually think any of that means anything in the current OAOAST scene, then why not bring up the fact that the GPX, at one time, were allies of Zack Malibu? COACH Don't go there. Those were some dark days. Back in the ring, Static enters, taking Faqu and backing him into the heel corner before tagging in Christian Wright. Together, they pull him out, but then ram him backwards against the turnbuckles before pulling him forward and then take his legs out from under him, and then snap his legs like a wishbone! Wright then drops a knee across the throat of Faqu and drives it in, trying his best to suffocate the big man before pulling him up, and setting him up in a standing headscissors!? COLE Don't tell me he's going to attempt what I think he's going to! We may never know, as Faqu takes Wright's legs out from under him, and catapults him up and over...but Wright skins the cat, and gets pushed up and over by Jax, into a headscissors on Faqu...who pulls him off the ropes and tosses him across the ring, causing him to land face first! Faqu then hits a running knee that knocks Wright through the ropes and down to the floor...and Faqu jogs to the corner and climbs the ropes as fast as he can, tagging Zack Malibu before hitting a Samoan Somersault Plancha down onto Christian Wright! COACH YO! Fatass can fly! Faqu gets up, but immediately gets nailed by a double baseball slide by the GPX, which knocks him back into the barrier! The GPX then hop out of the ring and start double-teaming the big man, clubbing him down...until Zack Malibu races across the apron and takes them both out with a double apron run diving clothesline! Malibu then pulls Scotty Static up to his feet, and then backs away, as James Blonde runs across the apron and dives off with a dropkick, catching Static on the chin so hard that Scotty takes a flip bump off of it! Blonde gets up and hurls Wright back into the ring for Zack. Blonde and Faqu keep the GPX isolated, and Zack enters the ring, standing silently behind a groggy Wright. Christian gets up and stumbles back, right into Malibu, so he spins around as fast as he can with a discus clothesline, but Zack ducks it and hits the ropes, and nails him with a jumping calf kick! Malibu brings him up and shoots him into the corner, but when he charges he meets boot, and Wright grabs his head and tries for a Tornado DDT...NO! Zack shoves off, and then tries for SCHOOL'S OUT, but Wright catches the foot, throws it down, and delivers an STO! Wright then drags Zack to the middle of the ring by his ankles and prepares to lock him in the figure four leglock, but Zack kicks off and sends Wright careening towards the ropes! Wright rebounds, and Zack hops up for a monkey flip, but Wright throws him down back to his feet, and immediately hits the WRIGHT OFF, dropping Zack hard on the canvas for a pin! ONE! TWO! NO! COACH Oh come ON, Robinson! Wright rolls his eyes at the deplorable actions of the incompetent referee, while his partners brawl at ringside with the GPX. Blonde gets sent into the stairs by Jax, and then together Static and Johnny lift Faqu and crotch him on the guardrail, which is more than enough to stagger the big man as he falls off the apron and into the crowd! Meanwhile back in the ring, Wright brings Zack up, but Malibu surprises him by swinging around and trying for a backslide! Wright struggles, desperate to not be taken down to the canvas, so Zack breaks his attempted backslide and swings around, grabbing a front facelock and hoisting Wright into the air, then dropping him over the ropes and onto the apron! Zack releases the hold and tries to back away, but Wright jabs a thumb in his eye and then takes him by the head and brings him to the corner, smashing his head into the top turnbuckle! Zack staggers back, as Wright climbs the ropes, but once he regains his composure Zack runs up the ropes and grabs Wright, pulling him onto his shoulders and then leaping from the middle rope down to the ring below with his somersault fireman's carry known as the Honor Roll! He turns over and hooks a leg, keeping Christian's shoulders pressed against the canvas as Robinson makes the count! ONE! TWO! NO! COACH HAHA! Yeeeah, boy! CABOOSE From Queen Latifah to Flava Flav, what is this with the rapper references tonight? Malibu gets up and looks to his corner, then turns to the Upstarts corner, where Jax and Static mockingly wave to him, as they have wounded Blonde and Faqu at ringside. Infuriated, Malibu charges and knocks each of them off the apron for their arrogance, then turns his attention back to Wright. He brings him up and staggers him with three chops, then jumps up on his shoulders and snaps him over with a rana, but Wright rolls through...but so does Zack! Malibu drops an elbow, but it misses! Wright drops an elbow, and THAT misses! They come to a standoff, but Jax reaches in from ringside and pulls Malibu's leg out from under him, sending him falling face first! He pats himself on the back, but a recovering James Blonde spears him down and starts hammering on him, causing Static to dive for Blonde and start hammering HIM! Meanwhile, Zack staggers to his feet, but he winds up in the grasp of Christian Wright, who lifts him up, and makes a successful conversion, as he hits CONVERTING THE SINNER on Zack Malibu! COLE Wright scored with his trademark move! ONE! TWO! THREE! DING! DING! DING! COACH YEAH! And that's how we do it, Mikey Cole and Caboose! Zero Hour ain't gonna be nothin' but a cakewalk! "Slither" hits, and Christian Wright rolls off of Zack Malibu, throwing his arms up in the air before dropping to his knees. Robinson hands him his HI-YAH Heavyweight Title, which he clutches in his arms and hugs, as the GPX break free from Blonde and get into the ring, congratulating their friend. BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen, your winners, the team of the GPX AND CHRISTIAN WRIGHT! Static, Jax, and Wright all bail, as the fan favorites pick themselves up back at the ringside area. Wright holds his HI-YAH belt high in the air, as Static runs around acting like a general nuisance, including taking the camera and pulling it close to his face, telling the world that "we told you, it don't get any better than what you see right here!". Scotty pushes the camera back to the camera man, but we've cut away anyways, as the cameras zoom in on the angered faces of Blonde, Faqu, and Malibu, who are all aching, and craving revenge after having been unable to obtain victory tonight.

Nobody needs to be built to beat Joe. I'm not talking a Barry Horowitz/Skip scenario here, but whoever gets to beat Joe will be made into an instant star for being the guy to end the streak. It doesn't have to be someone who came "so close" time and time again before finally doing it. It could be out of the blue in a well fought match.

Is that your "proof"? By the way, they didn't pick ROH over TNA, they worked ROH last night. Was TNA on last night besides the taped Impact? Did they have a house show only you know about? No. And Joe was working a no-name indy here on Friday against John Walters, so I guess he's going to be jobbing in the three way tonight too. You heard it here first folks. (/sarcasm for that last part).

A bunch of us were supposed to chip in and get this show tonight, but those plans got put away thanks to the major snowstorm in my neck of the woods. So while I'll get a tape of the event later in the week, I'll be relying on you guys here in the thread for updates tonight.

I swear, if they think of what I think they could be thinking of, I will not be happy. One promotion who can't get over a particular event is enough.

Agreed. Also, that match was already discussed yesterday in the WO preview of the event.
