Zack Malibu

It appears they're setting up Shane/Shelley as Shane/Kazarian 2.0, which should be good, as I like both. Diamond appears to be with Trytan, which is good since Trytan can be relegated to power spots/bailing out his partner type of work, and Diamond can carry the workload. The NAO reunion is going to turn Killings and Konnan heel, IMO.

Before actual feedback, I'd just like to publicly thank KC for stepping in and helping me finish the four way when CC and Eski were unable to. Reading through the show now, comments later.

I didn't start shit.

What's the status guys? My match has been done, what else are we all waiting on?

I'm going to have the four way done in 15 minutes tops.

We've got 'em at my place too. Takes about a week for delivery. www.wrestlingsuperstore.com

No problem. I'm at work until 8 my time (another 4-4 1/2 hours) so I can get something done during that time. Eski, CC, are you guys able to do anything today?

Sic 'em Big J.

Mmmmm, hardcore.

KC, if you could, it'd be a big help. In case you get this far into it, eliminations are as follows: GPX after a Falling Star Driver on Static and Some Guy nails Jax with a Some Kick before he can break up the pin. Moments after, CWM pounces on Some Guy and Pollycuts him, then kicks him out of the ring. With the ref distracted by this, Black comes in and hits the Blackout on Malibu, leaving him prone for a CWM pin. Crystal and Gunner win after some double teaming and shenanigans. The story of the match is that the Upstarts are pretty much together in this, while the Originals are still at odds. Once GPX gets eliminated, Black and CWM strike, figuring that they'll fare just fine in a normal setting with Crystal and Gunner, but pride gets the better of them and the Upstarts take the victory.

It's no problem, I'm not mad by any means. I just wasn't online this weekend to catch you guys and find out if any help was needed. Are we all going to be able to work on this tomorrow? Let me know because I'll do all I can ASAP, even if it means sneaking in some writing time at work.

Well shit. I haven't seen Eski on all day, and I'm not going to be home tonight until after RAW. I'll add as much as I can as soon as I can.

I still haven't heard if anyone else worked on it like I had thought, so I don't know whether to work on it myself or not.

Univision got replaced by another Spanish network in my area on the cable box, so while I occasionally saw it on the old UHF TV I had laying around, I lost the ability to see it regularly/tape it.

I haven't even been online since Sat. afternoon, so I've asked the other parties involved if they worked on the tag match. Once I hear from them I'll know if I need to finish it myself, etc.

Uh...did anyone finish the four way?

I've done a fair portion of the match, but not sure how much more I'll be able to add tonight. If you guys have been working on it on your own Word programs or whatever, make sure to add what I've added please.

As announced this week, you'll see Zack Malibu/Some Guy vs. CWM/Dan Black vs. GPX vs. Crystal/Gunner in a Four Way Elimination Match.

Ordered Double Tables in spring of '95, but right around the time I got it, I found ECW on the America One UHF Channel on my old TV. They were on Tuesday nights, and every other night at 11 was another federation of wrestling (Smoky Mountain on Wed., USWA on Fri., etc.). I got to see the early days of Dreamer/Raven, the Eddie/Dean classics, Douglas' departure for WWE, just all the classic moments. About a year and a half later (Labor Day weekend '96) a Spanish channel out of Boston began showing ECW on Friday nights at 1am. I set my timer, and the first scene of the first episode I have on tape is a Douglas and Francine promo from a beach, talking about how they broke Gary Wolfe's neck and Jerry Lewis should use his telethon to raise money for him. It aired on that channel until mid '98, then they lost it and I didn't see TV eps until the TNN deal.

3 different pairs of K-Swiss (all white, 2 blue and white of different design) 1 Pair Adidas Superstars (white w/ black stripes) 1 pair Phat Farm casual sneakers 1 pair American Eagle retro track shoes 2 pairs of Skechers dress shoes, 2 pairs of dressy Skecher boots, and a pair of wheat colored Skecher workboots (think Tims)

Sounds good. I'm going to put the match here, that way if anyone gets free time and wants to add to it, we all can. CABOOSE You know what we have next, Cole. COACH Hey, how come you always ask him if he knows what's next? CABOOSE Because the less you talk, the better. COLE Haha...sorry, Coach. Up next we've got a grudge match if there ever was one, but not your typical grudge. This one is between four of the top teams in the OAOAST, none of whom seem to be getting along, with the exception of Gunner and Crystal and the GPX. CABOOSE And right there that's a key to this contest. Those two teams are on the same wavelength as of late. Whatever Drek Stone is selling the GPX are buying, feeling it follows the belief that the spotlight was taken off them by the Originals after Anglemania. Crystal and Gunner are always up for making Zack's life miserable, but everyone has gone to extremes as of late in trying to take each other out. COLE We saw that melee Thursday night that resulted in General Manager Josie Baker getting knocked out cold by a School's Out from Zack, which allowed the GPX, Gunner and Crystal to escape the wrath of Zack, Some Guy, Dan Black and CWM, four men who hate each other as much as they do those other two teams. CABOOSE It's a recipe for disaster, but when we say that in the OAOAST, we know we're guaranteed a great match. Let's let Buffer take it away. COACH Can I get at least one word in edge-wise? CABOOSE By my count, that sentence just gave you nine words and a hyphen. That's enough. COACH ... Up in the ring, the ever-dapper Michael Buffer stands tall, his booming voice overpowering the crowd noise in the arena. BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is the FOUR WAY DANCE! The crowd roars, and immediately following the announcement is the sound of "Quiet", normally the theme song for Dan Black and Tony Brannigan, but for tonight, the theme song of Black and his Original Elite associate CWM. Together, the duo walks through the mist that engulfs the aisle, two vicious souls ready to exact some revenge on the other three teams tonight. BUFFER Approaching the ring at this time, weighing in at a combined weight of four hundred, eighty eight pounds. First, from Abbotsford, British Columbia Canada, he is C...W...MMMMMMMMM! His partner, hailing from London, England, he is The Ice Heart, DAAAAAN BLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACKKKKK! Clad in his trenchcoat, Black springs up onto the apron and slowly removes his sunglasses, revealing his icy glare to the world, as CWM perches himself atop the turnbuckles and stares out into the crowd. The fans welcome them with mostly jeering, although some scattered cheers are audible. COLE Two men who don't care what anyone thinks about them. As Black removes his coat and steps into the ring, "Quiet" is replaced by "Plug In Baby", as the Muse tune is aired to welcome the Crown Jewel of the OAOAST and her henchman. BUFFER Introducing team number two, weighing in at a combined weight of five hundred, twenty five pounds. First, from Coquitlam, British Columbia Canada, she claims to be the Crown Jewel of the OAOAST, CRRRRRRRRRRRYSSSSSSSSSSSSTAAAAAAAAAAAAL! Her partner, from Detroit, MI, GUNNNERRRRR SHARRRRRPSSSSSS! The imposing Gunner and the instigator herself make it to ringside, with Crystal waiting for Gunner to enter the ring before she dare step foot in it. Gunner steps over the ropes and stands in front of CWM and Dan Black, not speaking, not flinching, while Crystal comes in behind him and jaw-jacks with her two opponents. "In a world full of posers..." The spoken word introduction of the O-Town hit "Make Her Say" comes over the sound system, and the fans immediately stand to boo and jeer the two men about to make their entrance. "Make Her Say UUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, NAH NAH NAH NAH!" Coming out from the back, as cocky as ever, are Scotty Static and Johnny Jax, strutting and swaggering their way down the aisle as Buffer makes good with the introductions. BUFFER Now coming down the aisle, team number three. Weighing in tonight at a combined weight of four hundred, seven pounds...first, from Hotlanta, GA, SCOTTTTTYYYYYY STAAAAAAAAATTTTTICCCCC! His partner, from the 313, JOHNNNNYYYYY JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAXXXXX...they are the GLOBAL PARTY EXCHANGE~! Immediately, Johnny and Scotty hop in the ring and stand alongside Crystal and Gunner, with the four of them staring down Black and CWM. Referee Nick Patrick pleads with them to wait until the bell rings to settle their differences, but the cocky GPX and their occasional allies inch forward, moving towards a prepared Black and CWM...until Black and CWM bolt forward and start nailing everyone in sight! COLE It's pandemonium already! Black starts swinging, nailing both Static and Sharps, while CWM goes after Jax. Crystal tries to pull her fellow Canadian off of him, but he turns around and shoves her down, then turns around to go back to Jax...and gets nailed with a lariat! Jax and a recovered Crystal start putting the boots to CWM, while Sharps holds Black for Scotty to kick in the ribs, when all of a sudden the lights dim, and an the all too familiar sound of bass chords fills the arena, sending the fans into a frenzy! "Getting Away With Murder" blasts through the speakers, and darting out from the locker room and down the aisle are Zack Malibu and Some Guy, sans intro, since Buffer headed for higher ground when the fighting broke out! CABOOSE Ring the bell, Patrick! The veteran referee finds a neutral corner and stays there, calling for the bell as everyone pairs off. CWM and Gunner, Some Guy with Crystal, Dan Black with Scotty Static and Zack Malibu with Johnny Jackson. It's an all out war zone in the opening moment, as fists fly between the four teams. CWM backs Gunner into the corner and mounts the ropes, bringing punch after punch down upon him, until the big man grabs CWM by the legs and drops him over the ropes onto the apron. Reacting quickly, CWM takes Gunner's head and jumps down off the apron, snapping the big man's neck on the top rope to stagger him...and then Some Guy comes racing over and dives at Gunner with a crossbody that sends them both falling over the ropes and down to the floor! Seeing this, Crystal goes to race to the aid of her bodyguard, but as she begins to run to the ropes, Black reaches out and grabs her by the hair, jerking her down to the canvas! Black kicks Crystal and forces her out to the apron under the bottom rope, and that leaves Zack Malibu alone against both GPX members. Static and Jax are able to overcome the Preppy One, working him over with forearms across the neck and back before pulling him up and whipping him towards the ropes...and towards Black! The Ice Heart sees Malibu coming and ducks low, backdropping him over the ropes and out to the apron...but Malibu clings to the top rope and lands on his feet. GPX quickly move towards Black, but Malibu springs off the top rope just as quickly, launching himself back into the ring over Dan Black and delivering a double dropkick to both members of the Global Party Exchange! COACH Damn! CABOOSE Cole, when did we hire Ron Simmons? Static and Jax roll out of the ring as well, and no sooner is Zack up on his feet then he's spun around by Black, who shoves him away and tells Zack that he "had it". Malibu responds by approaching Black silently, and the two go nose to nose for a moment before locking up in the center of the ring! Black quickly grabs a headlock, but Zack shoves him off, into the ropes...then gets floored when Black rebounds, crashing into him with a shoulderblock. Black hits the ropes again, hopping over Zack's body and then running across the ring to the other side, and Zack springs up, leapfrogging him on this rebound, and when Zack turns around, he's snared again in a headlock! Black wrenches his arm around Zack's cranium, but Malibu quickly slips his head out and grabs his own headlock! Black struggles to free himself, pushing Zack so that he moves forward towards the ropes, and as Black lifts Zack for a back suplex, Malibu plants both his feet into the chest of Crystal, knocking her off the apron and using that move to float over Black's shoulders, land on his feet and quickly hook a waistlock. Black squirms, then fires back an elbow to break free before swinging himself around behind Zack and hooking both of his arms, locking Zack in a full nelson, but Malibu is able to pull his arms free and then use a go-behind, then bring Black to the canvas with a waistlock takedown! Zack then applies a side headlock, but Black pushes up off the canvas and gets to his feet, all while in the hold, then shoves Malibu away, looking unimpressed with his opponent's ability in the early going. COLE These two are two of the most experienced OAOAST performers, two of the best in the world. CABOOSE And bitter rivals. Black waves Zack on, holding his hands up to ask for another lockup from the popular superstar, but as Zack moves in, Black stuns him with a forearm to the side of the jaw! Another one follows, and Zack gets sent to the ropes. Black jumps up, trying for a rana as Zack comes off...but at the last second Zack holds onto the ropes to stop his momentum, and Black crashes down to the canvas! He sits up, and Malibu dives forward, cracking him in the jaw with a basement dropkick that sends Black rolling to his corner and tags in CWM! COLE Speaking of bitter rivals... CWM rushes into the ring and charges Zack, but Malibu busts out the MATRIX DUCK~! in dodging a lariat, then comes up and spins CWM around, taking him by the arm and whipping him into his own corner! CWM crashes chest first, then stumbles back...but Malibu runs at him and dropkicks him between the shoulder blades, sending him into the corner again! CWM rests up against the turnbuckles, momentarily dazed, and this allows Malibu to race towards him from across the ring and dive into the air, crushing CWM in the corner with a diving splash! CWM flops backwards, and Malibu quickly goes for the cover on his old foe! ONE! T-KICKOUT! CWM is able to get a shoulder up, but Malibu reacts immediately, pulling him up by his arm and leading him to the corner, where Zack tags in Some Guy to a loud pop! Together, Zack and Some Guy each take an arm and wrench it, then stun CWM with a double chop to the chest before Some Guy takes him to the mat with a fireman's carry and locks on a rear chinlock. CWM tries to roll out, but Some Guy keeps ahold of him, and the two come up to their feet, where CWM shoves Some Guy towards the ropes. SG rebound, and CWM runs towards him and brings his knee up...but Some Guy floats over the knee and into a schoolboy rollup! ONE! T-NO! CWM again easily kicks out and get to his feet, infuriated. He and Some Guy stare each other down, looking ready to kill each other...until they each move towards opposite corners, with Some Guy tagging in Scotty Static and CWM tagging in Crystal! COLE HA! CABOOSE CWM and Some Guy on the same page...we haven't seen that since the days of the aWo! Both Crystal and Scotty complain, but Patrick makes the call that tags were made, and they are now the legal people. CWM and Some Guy eye each other as they exit the ring, each man taking his spot on the apron. Crystal and Static are now in the ring and scowl at the four OAOAST veterans who sit on the apron, waiting for the two cocky youngsters to lock horns. The first ever female World Champion and the once-popular Static tie up, jockeying for position as the rest of the combatants watch on. Scotty quickly goes to an arm wrench, but Crystal easily manuevers her way out, flipping forward and then wrenching Static's arm. Scotty reaches for the ropes, but Crystal delivers two roundhouse kicks to his stomach, doubling him over while stuck in a wristlock, and then once he's keeled over, Crystal segues into a stepover armbar. Crystal pulls up on the arm, but Static tries and tries to reach the ropes...and grabs the middle rope, causing Crystal to have to break the hold! Immediately, Crystal backs off of her occasional ally and allows a clean break, giving Static enough space to get to his feet. Scotty comes up and shakes his arm, trying to get the feeling back, and moves towards Crystal, who extends a hand out of sportsmanship. Scotty accepts, but the normal goodwill gesture gets booed out of the building, causing both superstars to pause and look at the crowd in shock as they circle each other again. COLE These are not two of the most beloved athletes in the company, at least not anymore. CABOOSE It's amazing to think that one year ago, these two were two of the most popular wrestlers in the world, while Zack Malibu, CWM, and Dan Black were loathed by the wrestling community, and Some Guy was not working full-time in the OAOAST. Funny how things change, eh Cole? COLE Indeed. COACH FUNAKI~! COLE What? COACH Indeed, Fu...nevermind.

Either Crystal/Gunner or GPX. What I'd like to do is build up the Upstarts even more, but when we have the TLC, have Some Guy and Zack take the belts in that match. Obviously that'll be the crowd-pleasing moment and the heels will be pissed, but the next week Drek can remind GPX, etc. that us winning was a GOOD Thing, because it's not going to help the Originals get unified anytime soon, as The Original Elite would want the belts, etc.

I can get started on it tonight and do some work tomorrow, but I'll need the finish to come from someone else, as I've got some extra hours this weekend, plus a graduation party to attend, and doubt I'd be able to finish it and give it enough length to do it justice. Eski, CC, you guys gonna be able to?

1)The tapings are partly for international/syndicated XPlosion broadcasts. 2)It is still a show broadcast to people, whether it be over TV or the internet. 3)It'll take a hell of a lot more than you're wishing to go away. Plus, I'd say in a battle of who TSM would want to stay, I'd win hands down.

Which is precisely why they taped last night. At least allow your hating to make a semblance of sense.
