Zack Malibu

I've also seen NYU peeking in the folder today, yet remaining quiet. It'd be cool if we got a heads up from ya dude, we're all wondering what's going on here.

I just saw Popick's edit. What I would do is I would say the Stephen Joseph character is the best choice for a new champion right now, because the way the angle can be furthered is that he becomes "typical" Popick after winning, proclaiming his championship status at every turn, dubbing himself the leader of this brave new world, yadda yadda yadda. He'll wind up making enemies of The Upstarts, who keep reminding him that he's not the one calling the shots in The Upstarts, but Popick states that he's the one with the belt, so he can do what he wants. This sounds more like them getting turned face, but we'll play it that Popick does well with the title, has some close call defenses, refuses cheap wins, etc. It'll basically be his own ego, but his championship reign will see him grow less cheap-tactic heel and more in your face, head on. That way when The Upstarts can him, it will be seen as Popick "getting in the way of the ultimate goal". I do still have my ideas on who it will be revealed was behind this the whole time, but I'm not letting the cat out of the bag publicly yet. I would say SJ wins, and we build to Dan Black winning at Climax, that way the year ends with Dan Black holding the belt, and it allows for the final stages of the feud between the Originals and Upstarts to get moving towards Anglemania.

Yogalattes. In OC speak, that means "That works!"

Here's what I was thinking: OAOAST World Title, Four Corners Elimination: Hoff vs. Tony Brannigan vs. Dan Black vs. ?? (preferably an Upstart) Zack Malibu/Leon Rodez vs. GPX Women's Match Parka vs. CW X Title: PK vs. someone Heartland Title: Alf vs. someone

What about making the World Title match at the PPV a multi-man (Four Way?) in order to make the end result less obvious. With Hoff being a lame duck champion at this point, it might be nice to throw a curveball out there, and by writing a four way for the World Title, that's pretty much guaranteed to take up an hour of "real" pay per view time.

This thread depressed me until I saw that Prototype450 has Sleepaway Camp 3 as his avatar. Fuckin' awesome. Last I had heard about Eddie Kaye Thomas was that he was in a pilot that didn't get picked up by NBC that had he and one of the chicks from City Guys as a young, married with child couple.

OK, this segment is all set. Whoo!

That's something we'll need to sort out. Right now it's all about picking the best option for the champion, what with Hoff MIA. Whether we do the title switch there or on an HD and have a different match be the title match needs to be discussed as well.

Isn't it the same disc that was included with the Tox Box set? If so, I have it.

Keep in mind The Originals aren't a fully cohesive unit yet, especially Black. PK, it's late now, but I'll rattle some ideas off tomorrow. As for your PM's Popick, I now realized it...it's cool, nothing was set in stone, so I know exactly what to do.

Like usual, I'll do my "bits n' pieces" routine and notify when it's finished. This needs to be the opening segment, and it will set something up for later in the show. As soon as clocks around the nation hit 8pm (Eastern Standard Time, of course), we are taken to the ring, as a wild Rhode Island crowd has packed inside of the Dunkin' Donuts Center tonight for the latest edition of the OAOAST's flagship wrestling program. It's time for another HeldDOWN~!, and standing in the ring is the General Manager of HeldDOWN~!, Calvin Szechstein. Looking ever so dapper in his three piece suit, Szechstein has a mic in his hand, and prepares to address the crowd. CALVIN Ladies and gentlemen, WELCOME to OAOAST HELDDOWN~! ::crowd roars:: CALVIN I'm General Manager Calvin Szechstein, Cal to my friends, and a slew of dirty words to my enemies, and tonight, I am pleased to bring you this special HeldDOWN~! Homecoming! The fans pop again, and everybody in the arena begins chanting one name and one name only. "ZACK!" "ZACK!" "ZACK!" CALVIN I know, I know, you want him...and you GOT him! Ladies and gentlemen, presenting one half of the OAOAST World Tag Team Champions, he is Providence's own ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALIBUUUUUUU! "Getting Away With Murder" hits, and the DDC walls rattle as the noise from the cheers shakes the building to its very foundation! Out onto the entrance stage steps Rhode Island's favorite son, the OAOAST World Tag Team title belt draped over his shoulder. Malibu walks down the stage, but then stops, and holds up his finger as if to say "wait a minute". Malibu then turns around and motions for someone to come out from the back, and the crowd goes wild for a second time, as CANDIE makes her return to OAOAST programming alongside her beau! COLE We haven't seen Candie in nearly six months, since being put on the shelf thanks to Dan Black's Blackout, and now she is back and looking as good as ever! COACH I'll second that! CABOOSE Oh what the hell, I'll third it! Dressed in boot-cut jeans and a white polo shirt, Malibu leaps up onto the apron, then leans over and helps Candie up to it. Malibu raises Candie's arm up into the air, and raises his OAOAST tag belt up with his other hand, and the cameras scan the crowd who are happy to see their favorite couple back together, here tonight in Zack's hometown. COLE What a welcome for the hometown boy who made good! "Getting Away With Murder" fades out, and Zack and Candie enter the ring. Malibu shakes Cal's hand, and Cal leans over to give Candie a peck on the cheek, although she's a bit reluctant to take a smooch from her old stablemate. Malibu calms her down, and the three remain silent, as no one could even begin to talk over the rabid cheering. "ZACK!" "ZACK!" "ZACK!" Candie smiles at Zack, who smiles back. Calvin takes a backseat to it all, stepping back and letting the local boy have his spotlight, as he finally raises the mic to his lips. ZACK The Zack Attack is BACK HOME, PROVIDENCE~! The crowd roars, and Zack laughs, knowing that he's got the fans in the palm of his hand. ZACK That's right, it's good to be back, but more importantly, it is so good to have my babygirl back, so give it up for her, huh? Give it up for Candie! Again, the crowd roars, and Candie's cheeks turn red, because despite performing live in front of OAOAST crowds for over two years. Zack smiles about it, and then continues addressing his hometown crowd. ZACK It's great to be back, it's great to be back with Candie, and it's great to be back in town holding some OAOAST gold! The OAOAST Tag Team Championship, you know, this belt means as much to me as any World Title I've won. Leon Rodez and I went through hell to get these belts, and I guarantee you we're going to go through hell to keep them! In fact, I'm sure you all caught Dirty Deeds, and... "OH! OH! OOOOOOOOOOOOOH!" CABOOSE What the...that's "Sexy Boy!" COLE Some Guy! We haven't seen him in a while, but here he comes!" The crowd pops, but Zack and Candie are shocked by the interruption. Clad in blue jeans and a David Ortiz Red Sox jersey, Some Guy does his trademark dance before walking down the aisle, looking slightly miffed. He climbs up the steps and into the ring, and instead of greeting his former tag team partner with a handshake, he rudely snatches the microphone from his hand! CABOOSE This should be interesting. The crowd is cheering, but some fans have picked up on Some Guy's demeanor, and are jeering the mic-snatch. SOME GUY Zack, Zack, Zack...welcome home. The crowd roars, but Zack is still perplexed at the disruption. SOME GUY I know you're surprised to see me, but hey, who doesn't like surprises, right? I mean, I know that I for one love to be surprised, except when SOMEONE decideds to leave me off the pay per view that was coming from MY hometown! Some Guy glares at Calvin Szechstein, who glares right back at him, not intimidated. SOME GUY What's the matter, Calvin, you gonna pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about? Dirty Deeds took place from Boston. From Fenway Park, the home of my Sox, and it was a chance for the world to see Some Guy on a grand stage again. It was a chance for me to return to the ranks with a bang, and what did I get? I got to sit backstage and watch those matches with the ring crew. Instead of kicking some ass, I got catered food, bottled water and NO AIRTIME. You left one of the superstars of the past 3 years, one of the OAOAST "Originals" as we've been called, off a pay per view extravaganza, and yet you think you're a GOOD General Manager? Calvin has no retort, because Some Guy won't give him the mic. As Some Guy and Calvin bicker off-mic, Zack takes the mic back and responds. ZACK Hey man, look, if you've got a bone to pick with him, that's cool. You do your thing. He's out here because tonight is... SOME GUY You give that mic back to me, you son of a bitch! Some Guy snatches the mic back from Malibu, and now things are getting tense between the two. SOME GUY For months, I watched your back. You brought me back because shit was going down, and you didn't know where to turn. Remember Anglemania? It was Caboose and I who helped save your ass when Dan Black, Tony and CWM had you at their mercy. It was me who helped you handle the GPX and Drek Stone, and then when I needed to rest myself, to let myself heal, well it seems that the world just forgot about ol' SG, didn't they? Especially YOU, partner. Then a few weeks ago I turn on HeldDOWN~! and what do I see? I see you and a kid, a rookie, someone who for all you know could be playing you like a fiddle, win the OAOAST World Tag Team Titles...the titles that should have been OURS. It shouldn't have been "Zack Malibu and Leon Rodez" in that match. It should have been Zack Malibu and Some Guy, two Original asskickers, and you and I both know we'd have run through all those teams in half the time it took you and Silk Stalking or whatever he wants to nickname himself, and it would cement The Originals as the driving force behind this company, but no. That didn't happen. I was almost ready to forgive it, because I figured it was just some goodwill gesture to open the eyes of the rest of the young lions, and show them that we're standing on equal ground, but then when I got left off Dirty Deeds, from Boston...FROM BOSTON, Zack, I realized I needed to stop playing nice. I needed to stop playing, and start doing what's good for me, and for my career at this point. Now you, and the booker man over there robbed me of my chance at gold, and tonight, I... CUE: Oh Hell Yeah CABOOSE What the hell? COACH No 'boose, it's "Oh Hell Yeah" by the H- CABOOSE Fist. Face. Unless you shut up now. Another unexpected arrival enters "The Dunk", as the OAOAST X Division Champion, Peter Knight, makes his way down to the ring. Knight looks agitated, and rolls under the bottom rope, coming to his feet, revealing that's he's brought his own mic. He looks at Some Guy, while Malibu, Candie, and Calvin all look on. KNIGHT You know something, Some Guy, I've been hearing you bitch for the last few minutes about being left off Dirty Deeds, and all I can say is it could be a LOT worse. SOME GUY How do you figure? KNIGHT How do I figure? Do you even need to ask me that? You weren't even on the show, and to me, that's a hell of a lot better than being the focal point and losing the big one, blowing your shot at the World Heavyweight Title in front of your friends and family! The crowd is shocked, as Knight continues. KNIGHT Dirty Deeds was supposed to be MY night, MY time, MY chance at being at the top of the mountain. Don't get me wrong, I'll do everything in my power to keep this X Title presitgious, but the World Heavyweight Title is the belt that everyone strives for, and I let it slip away from me. I made myself weak, I made myself tap, and I made myself miss out at a chance for glory. I stood in that ring heartbroken the other night once I heard that bell toll, and now here we are, rolling out the red carpet for Zack Malibu. All eyes are on Zack now, and he quickly snatches the mic back from Some Guy to retort. ZACK PK, look man, I've been where you are, and I know what you're feeling. KNIGHT No, no you don't. You have no idea what mental torture I've been through these last few days. You didn't lose in front of thousands of people who all knew you before you were a star! Some Guy takes his mic back, and now the mic-swiping is getting ridiculous. SOME GUY Knight, you're right, he doesn't know, and that's why tonight, I want you in this ring, Zack. I want you and Leon Rodez across the ring from me, and I want what should be mine...the OAOAST World Tag Team Championship...and I'm going to take Peter Knight as my partner! The crowd is in awe, and Knight is taken aback by it. KNIGHT What do you thi- SOME GUY Hear me out. You talk about how he doesn't know what it's like? Well now's your chance to show him. You can redeem yourself tonight, you can be a DOUBLE CHAMPION tonight, you can win the gold with me and have Preppy Boy flat on his back, looking at the lights in front of allllllll these idiots! The crowd boos, and then start a chant up against Some Guy. "MASSSSSSSSHOLE!" "MASSSSSSSSHOLE!" "MASSSSSSSSHOLE!" Some Guy runs to the ropes and kicks them, threatening some ringsiders, while fellow Massachusetts native Knight looks a bit unimpressed at the chant. KNIGHT Look, you've made your points, Some Guy, but I think you and I are on different pages here. I think that... All of a sudden, Calvin Szechstein finally steps in. CALVIN ALL RIGHT! That's it, no more talking, no more name calling, no more musical chairs with the microphone! Now, it seems that we've got a few issues boiling over here, a little bit of controversey, and I've gotta admit, I like it. Controversey equals ratings, boys, and tonight is no exception. So tonight, in this ring, your main event will see Zack Malibu and Leon Rodez put their OAOAST World Tag Team Championships on the line against...PETER KNIGHT AND SOME GUY! The crowd roars for the announcement, and Some Guy looks pleased. Knight looks around him, first at Calvin, then at Some Guy, then at Zack. Malibu looks at Candie, then turns his attention to Some Guy, who walks up to him, smiles, and then heads out. As Some Guy leaves, Knight and Malibu stare at each other, and then Knight ducks out of the ring, leaving the hometown hero and his girlfriend bewildered at all that's just happened. COLE What an announcement, what a night it's going to be...tonight, the OAOAST World Tag Team Titles are on the line here in Providence! Fans, stay tuned tonight, because this one is not to be missed!

OK, I've got the perfect plan for this week, but need an idea for someone to fill in a heel slot. I've got one heel in place for the tag title defense, but need someone else. I'm leaning towards CWM at this point (and you'd understand the reasoning when the match is revealed) but I'm not too sure if I'd want it to be him, just in case he comes back with his own plans.

Right now, let's please list the active writers for the fed: Zack Tony Eski KC SJ PK Cal Alfdogg Parka On hiatus: Adam MMOM PRL CC AWOL Hoff NYU

I'll be your friend on both.

The tag champs, especially Zack, will be in the house.

I was doing it for a while when I had spare time, so I'm cool with that. I'd say Tuesdays, and Friday, Saturday, Sunday for them.

If Hoff doesn't show up this week, then we're going to have to work an angle with the World Title. I've begun thinking ahead like I've said, so we'll get it all together in due time. Let's give the boy a chance to show his face first.

I haven't heard a word from Hoff or Drek. Drek I at least see around, but he's not responded to anything. At this point we need to write our stories to move ahead without them, but do it in a way that keeps the door open for their characters to return. I've already spoken to PK and Tony about this. I agree with the lateness and short feedback (of which I can be guilty of too, with the whole work/school/typing from the office deal eating up time), and I think as a whole if we work on that things will be better. CWM's status, as a character at least, is as an Original, but he's at war with pretty much everyone. The lone wolf, if you will.

All set gang.

All this needs are the intro's. I'm off to dinner, but I'll be back in a while. KC, if you see this before I'm back, if you wanna tack them on that's cool, otherwise I'll finish it when I get in.

The only way it should be LOD/MNM again at this point is if MNM is getting the belts back. Now that Jillian Hall is with JBL, they can hopefully get the team back on track with less stupidity. Smackdown's actually got a pretty heavy tag division (at least compared to RAW) as they have the Mexicools, Regal/Birchall, the FBI, LOD, MNM so it wouldn't kill them to maybe do a Tag Team Turmoil match. Kennedy will probably take on someone like Holly, or maybe he'll just be made special ref for Benoit/Booker or something like that.

Not to mention Ortiz got a great reaction at Hard Justice, and his confrontation with Monty on the show had the crowd buzzing as well. Ortiz/Brown would be dumb and counterproductive to do at this point though.

COLE Folks up next, live from Fenway Park at Dirty Deeds 2005, we're going to see the OAOAST World Tag Team Titles defended inside the confines of a 15 foot high steel cage! CABOOSE It was just a few weeks ago that the wild card tandem of Zack Malibu and Leon Rodez, put together by GM Calvin Szechstein to show the unity The Originals have maintained with certain Upstarts, captured the belts in a classic TLC match that many are touting as the Match of the Year. COACH I'd vouch for that. COLE It was also GM Szechstein that made this contest, wanting Zack and Leon to prove themselves to be fighting champions by taking on two men waiting on their moment in the sun. The tandem of Thunderkid and Reject have been craving this shot, and tonight they get it . Let's go to the ring. DING! DING! DING! BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest, set for one fall, is a STEEEEEEEEL CAAAAAAAAGE MATCH FOR THE OAOAST WORLD TAG TEAM TITLES! The crowd roars, but are soon overpowered by the sound of "God of Thunder" by KISS. BUFFER Introducing first ,the challengers...at a combined weight of 465 pounds, first, from Green Bay, WI, this is THUNDERKID! His tag team partner, hailing from New York City, REEEEEEEEEEEEJECT! The two superstars walk down the aisle and step through the door of the cage, glaring menacingly at the crowd. These are two men who know they are not fan favorites tonight but could care less, as what they want are the gold straps, not the acceptance of the fans. Speaking of fan acceptance, the throbbing of bass chords replaces the KISS classic, as "Getting Away With Murder" fills the Boston air. CABOOSE Here come the champeens! Malibu leads the way, coming out of the back with the OAOAST World Tag Team title belt strapped around his waist. Rodez jogs slightly behind him, throwing an arm up to the crowd before running up and jumping onto his partner's back and throwing another arm up! Malibu turns and looks at Rodez, having not expected the enthusiasm from his partner, but together they play to the crowd as they make their way to the ring. COLE Looks like these two have their fair share of supporters tonight. CABOOSE I'm sure Malibu's got some hometown folk here as well! BUFFER Approaching the ring at this time, they are the OAOAST WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS...at a combined weight of four hundred, twenty eight pounds, first, from Grand Rapids, Michigan, he is "Silky Smooth" LEON ROOOOODEZ! His tag team partner, from Providence, Rhode Island, he is known as the OAOAST Franchise, ZAAAAAAAAAACK MAAAAAAALIBUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! COLE They've got a big test ahead of them. They're not the most experienced duo on our roster, but alone they've been two of the greatest superstars in their own rights. A curveball was thrown to them in the form of the steel cage, which is a "regulator" so to speak to keep any Originals or Upstarts from getting involved. COACH Not to mention bring in some extra buys. CABOOSE Huh? COACH Hey, I read my newsletters! DING! DING! DING! With the bell rung, all Zack and Rodez have to do now is get into the cage. Which is easier said than done with the challengers guarding the doorway. Thunderkid kicks out at Zack and Rodez as they try to get in, while Reject reaches out and grabs the door, closing it on the champions. The challengers hold the door shut while Rodez tries to re-group for the champions, but a frustrated Zack is too busy trying to re-open the door that he doesn't hear his partner. A brief tussle ensues, before finally Thunderkid releases the door...only to kick it back, sending it flying back into Zack's face!! Zack crashes past Rodez to the floor, distracting The Silky Smooth One and allowing Reject to drag him into the cage! COLE Look at this...it's two on one here!! CABOOSE Great strategy from the challenger, you have to admit that Michael. Tag team wrestling's always been about isolating your opponent and believe me, Leon Rodez is competely isolated while he's alone in this Cage. As he's dragged into the cage, Rodez manages to push Reject away, but Thunderkid fires a boot up into the chest as he tries to get in. Quickly TK pulls Rodez the rest of the way in and slams the door, ordering the referee to lock it. Zack is still on the floor, but the referee locks it anyway as the match is underway. Meanwhile, Reject and TK put the boots to Rodez in the cage. Backed up in the corner, Rodez tries to cover up but the stomps and the straight kicks keep coming and he finds himself under barrage. Rodez falls to his knees under the onslaught. But Reject quickly pulls him back up, whipping him out of the corner and across the ring. Hurtling towards the opposite turnbuckles, Rodez plants his hands on the top rope and lifts himself up and over the charging Reject...only to fall right in front of Thunderkid, who wipes him out with a clothesline to the back of the head! Reject then follows up with some more stomps, TK joining in, beating down Rodez as boos rain down on the challengers. "LET'S GO ZACK!" "LET'S GO ZACK!" "LET'S GO ZACK!" The crowd start to will Zack to get up and in the match, but he remains laid out on the arena floor, blood trickling from a wound on his forehead. That allows the challenger all the time in the world to pull Rodez to his feet. TK holds Rodez by the hair for a Reject kick, then pins his arms behind his back for another. TK then whips Rodez around, pulling him into a short-arm clothesline. COLE This doesn't look good. Zack's locked out of the cage and he's already busted open! TK and Reject could win the title without Zack even getting in the cage! Together, the challengers slowly pull Rodez to his feet. Desperately Rodez starts to pepper Reject in the gut with right hands from his knees, but TK lays in with clubbing forearms to the back to weaken him down. He and Reject then pull Rodez to his feet, each taking him behind the head and charging across the ring... *CHING!* ...and HURLING Rodez face-first into the wall of the cage!! Rodez bounces back off the cage and falls to his hands and knees, the challenger stalking over him. Looking to each other, Reject gives TK the nod and they pull Rodez up again. And taking Rodez by the head, they charge across the opposite side... *CHING!* ...sending him into the opposite side of the cage!! CABOOSE These guys aren't wasting any time in doing their damage. Rodez falls flat on his face in the centre of the ring as TK and Reject discuss what they're going to do next. Whatever their plans were though, they soon change as they see the referee on the outside of the cage hurriedly trying to unlock the door for a groggy but awake Zack Malibu. The cage door opens and Zack tries to crawl in. But Reject rushes across the ring, baseball sliding across and knocking Zack back out to the floor. Reject then orders the door locked again, while TK bides his time choking Rodez with the flat of his boot. "WE WANT ZACK!" "WE WANT ZACK!" "WE WANT ZACK!" "WE WANT ZACK!" COACH I think these people want Zack guys! CABOOSE Suh-wish. Thunderkid continues to choke away on The Silky Smooth One, until Reject brushes him aside to drop a legdrop across the throat. On the outside, Zack tries to pull himself up once more. Something which Thunderkid sees and decides he wants no part of, making a pin on Rodez as he tries to end the match... 1... 2... Kickout. TK drags Rodez back to his feet, sending him into the ropes. As he bounces off the ropes, the back of Rodez's head whiplashes over and crashes into the cage wall, causing him to stumble slowly back. So TK changes tactic, booting Rodez in the gut before hitting the side ropes and executing a swinging neckbreaker. Reject keeps a watch on Zack, content to let his partner continue his dominance. Backing into the corner, TK climbs to the middle rope and waits for Rodez to climb back to his feet. Slowly Rodez does, lumbering around and taking a leaping right hand directly between the eyes. Head snapping back, Rodez collapses backwards, TK cradling his leg instantly with a pin... 1... 2... Kickout. COLE The challengers are trying to get this match over with as quickly as possible here, before Zack can get a chance to get in. Because once he does, the odds are even and Zack is no stranger to this kind of environment. CABOOSE No doubt. He's been in Cage Matches, he's been in War Games...and right now, he's probably pissed off that he's busted open. I don't blame Thunderkid and Reject for not wanting him in there now. Pulling Rodez to his feet again, TK slams a knee into the gut of Rodez...and a second, before applying a front facelock. He then shoots the arm over the back, dropping to one knee with a modified facebuster that leaves Rodez on all fours, dazed. TK then hits the ropes and drives a basement dropkick to the side of Leon's head. Climbing back up, TK takes a quick glance over and sees Reject busy holding the door shut, trying to prevent the referee from unlocking it as Zack is up again and trying to get in. The incompetent referee isn't doing him any favours though. So Zack takes matters into his own hands, storming past the ref and climbing the cage, to a big pop from the crowd! COLE Here we go! Here comes Zack! *CHING!* But Zack doesn't make it far up the cage wall, as Reject dropkicks the cage causing Zack to lose his grip and crash back to the arena floor. CABOOSE Yeah...and there goes Zack. Zack clambers back up and starts to look around for another way in, unable to see one but trying determinedly. Again he begins to climb the cage from the outside. But again, Reject stops him, shaking the cage violently until Zack falls back to earth. But all this is distracting Reject from what's going on behind him...Leon Rodez fighting back on Thunderkid! Rodez fires away with right hand after right hand, backing TK up a couple of steps before charging him with a clothesli...NO! Thunderkid ducks, turning on his heels just as Rodez charges again. Stooping low, TK lifts up Rodez for a slam. Rodez floats over the back though, landing behind TK and yanking him down by the head, right into the knees with a Lungblower!! A quivering TK rolls away holding his ribs, as finally Reject sees what's going down and abandons Zack, charging Rodez with right hands. Rodez retaliates and the two are exchanging right hands now, allowing Zack to rush back over and get the referee to unlock the cage door!! The ref isn't exactly quick on the draw though, which allows Reject time to catch Rodez in the eyes, then duck low and charge Rodez spine first into the turnbuckles. Rodez slumps to a crouched position, as Reject quickly turns back towards Zack... *WHAM!* "YYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!" ...WHO'S IN THE CAGE AND EXPLODES ON REJECT WITH A SPEAR!!!! COLE Aw damn, Zack's in the cage and business has picked up bah gawd! Stumbling away from Reject, Zack scrambles over to TK and pulls him up. An irish whip sends TK across the ring and back into a standing dropkick, catching the challenger right on the BUTT of the jaw. Zack then goes over to Rodez, checking he's okay. And he seems to be, hugging a rather bemused Zack like an long lost friend. Rodez then brushes past Zack to go after TK, nailing him with a right hand. And a second. *SLAP!* "WHOOOOOOO!!" ...and a knifedge chop. *SLAP!* "WHOOOOOOO!!" ...a second. *SLAP!* "WHOOOOOOO!!" ...three chops, rocking Thunderkid... *SLAP!* "WHOOOOOOO!!" ...before Zack lays in with one himself. TK stands sucking wind as Zack and Leon quickly discuss strategy, Zack picking TK up in his arms as if going for a Spinebuster. But instead of that, Zack holds TK in place while Rodez rushes past into the ropes. Back he comes, hitting the opposite ropes, before slowing down in time to rock TK with a devestating Hart Attack...EYEPOKE!! "YYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" COACH OHMAHGAWD~! COLE Feel the Devesta-SHUN~! As Thunderkid blindly fumbles at his face, Zack drops him with an inverted atomic drop before looking at his partner in despair. Rodez is pretty pleased with the move himself though. So Zack shrugs, grabbing Rodez's arm and pulling him in for a double clothesline! Down goes TK, but the champs continue their hand holding and nail Reject with a double clothesline too! The challengers both lay downed on the mat, as Zack checks his forehead...which isn't too badly cut, the blood not flowing at the moment...while Rodez fires up the crowd. CABOOSE For a makeshift team, these two aren't entirely terrible. COLE Trust me folks, coming from 'Boose, this is a compliment. CABOOSE It's the best they'll ever get too. Both challengers get up at the same time, so the champions approach, and pair off. Zack takes Reject, while Rodez takes Thunderkid, and then send them across the ring, into the ropes. Leon and Zack spring off their feet, each man catching his respective opponent with a dropkick to the chin. The champions get up and immediately pull their stunned foes off the canvas, and then lead them towards the wall of the cage, as Thunderkid gets hurled into one side of the steel while his partner is sent sailing into it just across the ring! Thunderkid falls to the canvas, while the impact has Reject hobbling, and he staggers around right into Zack, who takes his wrist, wrenches his arm, and then pulls him in, planting him with a quick inverted atomic drop! Malibu then drops his head and hooks the waist, completing the chain with a Northern Lights Suplex, as the crowd counts along with the referee's count. ONE! TWO! NO! After Reject's kickout, Zack immediately rolls to his feet, only to see his partner whipping Thunderkid in his direction! Malibu immediately spins to the side and grabs Thunderkid, lifting him up horizontally before dropping him on the canvas with a crushing sideslam! As soon as he makes impact, Rodez bounds for the side ropes, rebounding towards his fallen foe while Malibu rises up and hops over Thunderkid, then tucks his head to back bodydrop his own partner Rodez and have him squash TK with a somersault splash! COLE Whatamanuever! Assisted somersault splash by the tag team champions, who are doing their best to prove they can hang with the more experienced OAOAST duos! Rodez hooks a leg, and once again the champions have the challengers in a pinning predicament! ONE! TWO! NO! Thunderkid rolls a shoulder, so Rodez simply brings him up to his feet and sends him to the ropes. Coming off, TK is caught with a double hiptoss, but Malibu and Rodez don't take him all the way to the mat, instead catching his legs with their free arms...AND LAUNCH HIM ONTO A RECOVERING REJECT! CABOOSE Tossed like a lawn dart into his own partner! The crowd roars as the challengers roll across the canvas, both smarting from the dart-toss manuever. Leon and Zack look to each other and nod, then approach their foes again. Looking to keep their momentum, the champs pair off with their foes again, but as Leon brings TK up to his feet, he's met with a thumb to the eye, then taken by the head and hurled headfirst into the cage wall! This is all unknown to Malibu, who has backed Reject in the corner, and perches himself on the middle rope, and starts pounding away! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! S-NO! Thunderkid comes over and pulls Malibu down to the canvas, but Zack lands on his feet, knocking TK away with a back elbow, but it distracts him enough for Reject to power out of the corner and rattle him with an STO! The challengers then start putting the boots to Malibu and work him over, as Leon staggers to his feet, blood now tricking from his forehead! He sees his partner getting doubled up on and rushes over, spinning Reject around and nailing him with right hands, but Reject cuts him off with a well placed knee, then whips him into the corner. Reject charges in, but Leon springs up and plants both of his feet into Reject's chest, driving him back, then hops up on the second rope and leaps onto Reject's shoulders, sending him flying after a huracanrana! COACH Look at Leon go like a one man show! CABOOSE The challengers have done a good job of working Zack over, I'll give them credit, but Leon is definitely keeping his team alive. Rodez gets to his feet, and Thunderkid moves away from Zack and attack, driving Leon back into the ropes after several forearms. He sends Leon across the ring, but Rodez reverses in mid move and sends Thunderkid to the ropes...but misses his dropkick attempt, as TK clung to the top rope! Thunderkid then grabs Leon's legs and catapults him towards the cage wall...but SOMEHOW Leon manages to catch the wall, and starts climbing up it! COLE Leon Rodez is racing to the top of the cage, and I don't think that's what Thunderkid had intended! TK scrambles up after Rodez, while the crowd roars at the sight of the two men moving towards the top of the huge metal structure. CABOOSE Now these two both know it's not an "escape rules" match...Calvin said he wanted a winner by pinfall or submission, not by running away. COLE True, but what TK may not realize is he's being led away from his partner, and Leon has broken this match down into a standard two on two fight once again. By taking TK away from his partner, there's no room for a double team situation. Leon makes it to the top of the cage first, and draps his leg over the side, resting himself atop the cage. As TK climbs, Rodez grabs him and starts punching at the bridge of his nose, then takes his head and rams it into the cage wall! TK is dazed, but he clings to the cage for dear life, not wanting to take the fall off the wall. Down on the canvas Reject has gotten back to his feet, and looms over Zack Malibu, but as he reaches down for the popular prep, Zack nips up, and in one swift motion scissors Reject's head, snapping him over with a huracanrana out of the nip up~! The crowd pops as Reject scrambles to his feet, only to get blasted with a roaring elbow that staggers him, and then a discus clothesline that puts him back on his back! Reject rolls away from Malibu, trying to escape the punishment, and Zack actually lets him, as he spies Thunderkid pawing at Rodez, trying to yank and/or shove him off the top of the cage! Zack goes to the wall of the cage and jumps up, trying to snatch TK's ankle, but it's out of reach...SO MALIBU STARTS CLIMBING THE CAGE WALL! Rodez and TK continue dueling, until Zack manages to grab TK's ankle and jumps back down to the canvas, using gravity against TK to pull him down... ...RIGHT ONTO THE TOP ROPE CROTCH FIRST~! CABOOSE *sigh* If only one day someone would do that to Coachman. COACH Wha!? CABOOSE Oh c'mon, you make me feel dirty just by sitting next to you the way you fawn over everything with girl parts. Thunderkid clings to the rope in pain, until Zack pulls him down to the canvas. He positions TK near the center of the ring, in the perfect spot for a high impact move. Malibu looks up, and the crowd comes to their feet as Leon Rodez makes the 450 motion with his hands, and starts pushing himself up to a standing position ON THE TOP OF THE CAGE! COLE Is he...I mean no way, not from the top of the cage! Holding the cage wall, Leon gets both his feet on the metallic ledge, but as he pushes up slowly, a recovering Reject pounces Malibu, shoving him into the cage wall...AND IT KNOCKS LEON OFF BALANCE! CABOOSE HOLY SHIT! COACH I thought only fans could say that? Leon manages to grip the top of the cage on his way down, and he's dangling from the cage wall! He tries to pull himself up, knowing that a fall from that height down to the ground could prove deadly! Meanwhile in the ring, a groggy Malibu is pulled into a standing headscissors, and Reject hoists him up, hanging him upside down before stepping over the arms of the former World Champion...CONNECTING WITH PITCH BLACK~! CABOOSE It's over! Rodez can't help, and Zack just got hit with that devestating finisher! Reject covers, looking very pleased with himself as he hears the referee's hand hit the canvas. ONE! TWO! THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENO! NO! COLE ZACK MALIBU KICKED OUT OF PITCH BLACK! CABOOSE I take it back! The Fenway fans roar, as Malibu rolled his shoulder at the last second! Furious, Reject gets up and stomps away at Malibu, then drops to his knees and tears at Zacks's face, pounding his head into the canvas as well. He lifts Malibu up again, and tries for a second Pitch Black, but as he goes to lift Zack the tag champion shifts his weight, dropping back down to the canvas! He manages to counter, lifting Reject up over his shoulders, and when Thunderkid comes running to help, Malibu spins to crack him with the feet of his own partner! Thunderkid rolls away, but Reject manages to slide off Zack's shoulders and land behind him, snaring him in an inverted facelock, but Zack spins out of it and shoves Reject back! Reject, infuriated with the resilience of the tag champion, storms towards Malibu again...but out of NOWHERE Zack cracks him with the SCHOOL'S OUT before collapsing himself! COLE We've got the challengers down, one champion down, and the other hanging on for dear life! Rodez struggles, and after a few moments finally is able to get his arms over the top of the cage. He manages to drag himself up to the top, and when he does he pushes up so that his feet are resting on the thin metal rod. Looking down in the ring, Leon surveys the damage, and sees everyone sprawled out on the canvas. For the second time he begins to come up to his feet while on the cage, and the next sight you see is one for the ages as LEON RODEZ HITS HIS PATENTED 450 SPLASH OFF THE TOP OF THE CAGE DOWN ONTO REJECT~!~!~!~! COACH DIZZAMN! COLE BECAUSE THE LADY LOVES FROM THE TOP OF A STEEL CAGE! I DON'T BELIEVE IT! Rodez bounces off Reject and rolls around on the canvas, his ribs smarting from the impact of the splash. The Fenway crowd is on their feet, unanimously cheering the fan favorite's daredevil tactic. COLE He hit it, but he's got to make the cover! It's up to Leon! A groggy Rodez crawls over slowly, still favoring the ribs with one arm, while draping the other one across the unconscious Reject. ONE! TWO! THREE! DING! DING! DING! CABOOSE They did it! The new champions have retained their titles here tonight at Dirty Deeds! "Jungle Boogie" starts playing, as the referee helps Leon to his feet and raises his hand, signifying victory. Malibu, bloody and still shaken, rises up to his feet and comes over, and together the champions have their hands raised to the delight of the crowd. BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen your winners, and STILL OAOAST World Tag Team Champions, ZAAAAAAACK MALIBU AND LEON ROOOOOOOOOOODEZ! COLE Some were surprised to see them win the titles in the first place, others are surprised that they managed to keep them tonight, but there is no doubt that Leon Rodez and Zack Malibu are slowly becoming one of the most cohesive units in the OAOAST! After having their hands raises, Malibu extends a hand to his partner, only to have Leon swat it away and give him a big hug, probably thankful that his life was spared from taking that fall. Malibu just shrugs and congratulates his partner, and as they exit the cage the champions are handed their title belts, which they raise proudly as the Bostonians cheer them on. COLE General Manager Calvin Szechstein said he wanted action and some additions to the highlight reel tonight, and that match definitely delivered. The OAOAST World Tag Team Championship stays around the waists of Malibu and Rodez, but can the OAOAST World Title stay around Hoff's waist after the challenge of Peter Knight? We'll find out, as Dirty Deeds continues!

Hey guys, I know you three have a lot on your plates with work/school/etc. Believe me, I know more than anyone what that's like. I'm just wondering what your "writing status" is at this point, because with the Civil War angle looking to heat up heading into the winter, I'm just trying to sort out who will be around for it. I've already come up with a few twists to make things logical as far as Drek having not been seen since Angleslam, and Hoff I know we discussed some things in the past. Like I said, I've got storyline ways of covering for everything that'll make sense, so just let us all know what you guys are up to and me and the gang can take it from there. Thanks guys, Zack Attack

We cut backstage, and the fan reaction from the arena can be heard in the distance, as the cheers are heavy once the sight of Leon Rodez appears on the Angletron out in the arena (but to you, the TV viewer, he's right there on your screen). The co-holder of the OAOAST World Tag Team Championship is unpacking his gear from his back, when all of a sudden the presence of someone else in the room is felt by Rodez. He looks up, then smirks, and the cameras cut over to Zack Malibu, standing tall. Much like Rodez, a loud pop is heard in the background. RODEZ What's up man? MALIBU What's up! The two shake hands and do the "manly embrace". MALIBU Look, you and I, we're the World Tag Team Champions now. RODEZ Yeah. MALIBU Nobody expected that to happen. RODEZ Which makes it all the more sweeter. MALIBU I agree, it was a major coup for us, and it's helped sway things back in our favor after it looked like Drek Stone had the whole roster brainwashed. RODEZ Not to worry, bro. If any two men were made to be fighting champs, it's Leon Rodez and "THE" Zack Malibu. MALIBU Heh, I like that. But look, it's not the Upstarts, or the challengers that I'm worried about right now. I'm worried about us, as a team. See, the one advantage that other teams have over us is that they're TEAMS. One theme song, high impact double team offense, matching tights, the whole shebang. RODEZ She bangs? You want us to get Ricky Martin as our valet? MALIBU What? No! RODEZ Oh Zack, c'mon, that William Hung fad is so two years a... MALIBU LEON! RODEZ WHAT? MALIBU Nothing. Look, I figure you and I, if we're going to hold this gold and represent this company as champions, we're going to have to start acting like a team. A cohesive unit. You said you'd do anything to show that you were firmly behind this company and the Originals, right? RODEZ Right. MALIBU Then you can start by wearing these? Malibu reveals what he's holding. A pair of tights much like his usual attire, except they're gold with blue trim, the opposite of his colors, and the name "Rodez" on the back. RODEZ Awwww Zacky, how'd you ever know my size? MALIBU Will you just take them already!? RODEZ Hey, seriously man, thanks. I appreciate it. MALIBU Not a problem. Malibu ducks out of the room, leaving Rodez to look at his tights. RODEZ Blue and gold...hmm...maybe he'll be willing to try a different color scheme...
