Angleslam: Zack Malibu vs. Drek Stone

[Zack Malibu 0]

COLE

Fans, we thank you all very much for joining us tonight on Pay Per View for Angleslam. Coming up next is a grudge match that promises to deliver intensity and sheer brutality...I'm talking about Zack Malibu meeting Drek Stone one on one for the first time.

 

CABOOSE

The rage building up inside both men these last few months has been tremendous. Drek Stone, despite being a former World Heavyweight Champion, amongst other accolades, feels slighted by the OAOAST. He feels that he's been overlooked and overshadowed by the longtime superstars, the men who helped pave the way for people like him. So he shared this belief with others, and managed to mold the GPX, Crystal, Christian Wright...he's got a following now. Some say they're cult like in their nature. They say that they want to rejuvenate the OAOAST, and by doing that they are trying to forcibly remove people like Dan Black, Tony Brannigan, and Zack Malibu from the company.

 

COLE

It's no secret that Drek has targetted Zack first, because everyone knows that Malibu cares more for this company than perhaps anyone. He's been the face of our company for the past three years, and Drek Stone hates the fact that the company he works for is represented by a man that, in his words, has kept people from achieving their true potential.

 

CABOOSE

It's professional jealousy that has turned into pure hatred, and Drek needs to realize that Malibu is at his best when his back is against the wall. Stone's been instigating this for weeks, and thanks to new General Manager Calvin Szechstein, it's finally taking place, with no other Originals or Upstarts set to play a part in it.

 

COLE

That's right. Like Calvin told Zack ten days ago on HeldDOWN~!, if any outside interference takes place, then the man who benefits from it will be suspended for six months, and the person who commits the act of interference will be fired on the spot by the new GM.

 

COACH

Uh, don't know you guys want to know my thoughts on this whole deal?

 

CABOOSE

Coachman! When did you get here, old chap?

 

COACH

...

 

The lights dim, and the sound of an eerie guitar riff echoes through the arena. "Just Close Your Eyes" haunts over the sound system, and the fans throughout the Rosemont Horizon rise to their feet to catch a glimpse of the hated individual heading down the aisleway. Drek Stone pays no mind, as he's used to the jeers of the crowd by now, and seems to love every minute of it.

 

"Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is set for one fall. Approaching the ring at this time, and hailing from Brooklyn, New York, he weighs in tonight at two hundred, thirty five pounds...this is DRRRRRRRRRRRREKKKKKKKKKK SSSTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!"

 

Michael Buffer's loud voice barely overpowered the boos, as Drek rolls into the ring and comes to his feet, outstretching his arms and posing cockily while pyro shoots up from the corner post. Stone then goes over to the ropes and stands on the middle strand, looking out to the crowd and glaring at the many fans weilding pro-Zack signs in his face.

 

COLE

Well, the crowd support is obviously not for Mr. Stone tonight.

 

As Stone paces the ring, the lights in the Rosemont Horizon dim once again, as the throbbing bass intro to "Getting AWay With Murder" starts up, drawing the fans who are unappreciative of Drek Stone into a frenzy!

 

CABOOSE

Listen to this crowd!

 

Pyro shoots up from the entrance ramp, and rains down from above at the same time, showering the entranceway in white and golden sparks. Through them all emerges Zack Malibu, who walks slowly and pauses for a moment to scour the crowd, as fans leap up and down upon their hero's arrival.

 

COLE

Just one year ago, he was the most hated man in the company. Now, at Angleslam 2005, Zack Malibu is back in the good graces of the fans, and is fighting not for a title, but for the pride of the company he has pledged his career to!

 

"His opponent, hailing from Providence, Rhode Island, and weighing in tonight at two hundred, five pounds, he is the Franchise of the OAOAST...ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK MAAAAAAAAAAAALIBUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"

 

Once the introduction is done, Buffer starts to step out of the ring...and just in time, as Malibu tears off his "Malibu-Established 1980" (available now at merchandise stands and OAOASTShopzone.com) and charges the ring, sending Drek Stone scurrying out through the ropes and to the floor! Malibu wastes no time in giving chase, sliding out of the ring, but now Stone runs away, rounding the corner and rolling back into the ring. Malibu leaps up onto the apron and springboards in, purposely overshooting Stone and landing on his feet, then turns around just as Stone begins to approach and clocks him with a big right hand! Stone goes down, and referee Nick Patrick hurriedly calls for the bell, as Malibu drops to his knees and starts pounding on Stone!

 

COACH

Shit's gettin' thick on the quick!

 

Malibu hammers away, his fist connecting with Stone's forehead several times before he pulls his foe up to his feet and sends him to the ropes, then runs towards him on the rebound and drills him with a running lariat! Stone goes down, but is pulled right back up by Malibu, who whips him to the corner...HARD. Stone winces as his back smashes against the turnbuckles, while Malibu charges towards him...and right into a boot! Stone then bursts out of the corner and nails Zack with a lariat of his own, and then starts putting the boots to Malibu, keeping him down on the canvas! Stone reaches down to pull Zack up, but Zack quickly counters with a drop toehold, taking Stone down to the canvas! Malibu then rolls across Stone's back and wraps his arm around his head, applying a front facelock and rising to his feet, pulling Stone up with him and then driving a knee into his sternum! Malibu then releases the facelock but stays on the attack, blasting Stone with a European uppercut! Stone reels, but Malibu moves forward, and a second European uppercut sends Stone falling into the ropes! Malibu grabs him by the wrist and propels him towards the far side, but Stone swings around and reverses in mid-move, sending Zack to the ropes! Stone ducks his head for a leapfrog, but Malibu chooses to baseball slide through his legs, then comes up and takes Stone by the head, snapping him backwards to the canvas! Malibu then connects with a quick legdrop and covers, but Stone pushes him off just as Patrick barely counts one, and then rolls out to the floor once again!

 

CABOOSE

It figures. Now that it's one on one, face to face, Drek Stone can't take the heat!

 

Stone rests on one knee, holding his head in his hands, while the sold out crowd starts taunting him with their chants.

 

"YOU'RE A PUSSY!" clap clap clapclapclap

"YOU'RE A PUSSY!" clap clap clapclapclap

"YOU'RE A PUSSY!" clap clap clapclapclap

 

CABOOSE

Coachman, cover your ears.

 

Stone gets up to his feet and looks out to the crowd, which only serves to make the chant louder. Furious, Stone kicks the guardrail and leans over it, jawjacking with a pair of scared ringsiders, until the day is saved by Zack rushing out of the ring and spinning Drek around, nailing him with a right hand! Malibu keeps Stone backed against the security barrier and peppers him with rights, then takes him by the head and rams it into the apron once, twice, three times, four times, FIVE times!

 

COLE

He's going to crush his skull!

 

Luckily for the maintenance crew at the arena, that's not the case, as Malibu rolls the dazed Stone into the ring, then climbs up on the apron. Malibu hesistates as Drek gets up to his feet, holding his head, and then gets drilled in the back of the head with a springboard dropkick by Zack! The impact sends Stone stumbling forward and through the ropes, but he falls out to the apron and rolls himself under the bottom rope, back into the ring. Malibu pries him off the canvas quickly and leads him to his feet, then tosses him into the corner, where Stone is easy prey for...

 

WHOO~!

 

Chops aplenty! Zack goes on a rampage, striking Drek across the chest numerous times with open hand chops, then takes him by the hair and brings him out of the corner...and catches a thumb to the eye! Zack steps back, but Stone reels him back in and hooks a facelock, then snaps Zack over with a suplex. He gets up, while Zack rolls to his feet, still trying to regain full vision. Stone grabs him by the arm and sends him into the corner, but when Stone charges in, Zack moves out of the way at the last second! Drek crashes chest first into the corner and staggers back, while Zack rushes to the ropes, spearing Drek on the rebound...and the momentum sends the both of them through the middle ropes and down to the ringside floor!

 

COACH

YO~!

 

"HOLY SHIT!"

"HOLY SHIT!"

"HOLY SHIT!"

 

Both men are rattled and laid out at ringside. Stone is looking up at the lights, moving slightly, while Malibu lays on his stomach, eyes closed. Patrick jumps out of the ring to check on both of them to see how they feel, and when he looks at Stone, Drek knocks his hand away and mutters "I'm fine." Patrick goes to check on Zack, who slowly tries coming to his feet. Patrick acts as support, helping Zack, who is woozy, but Patrick is shoved away by Drek, who comes after Zack once again! Drek fires off some right hands, then takes Zack and sends him into the guardrail, and Malibu groans as his back is cracked against the hard steel. He starts to slouch, but Stone comes to him and pulls him up, wrapping his hands around Zack's throat and choking him, then backing away and delivering a kick to the ribs and pulling Zack away from the railing, then lifts him up into the air and drops him ribs first on the barricade! Zack teeters on the top of the railing, and Stone takes his head and then drives the point of his elbow into the back of Zack's neck, knocking Malibu back down to the floor once again. Drek stands over him, but before he can do anything else, Patrick pushes him away and orders him back into the ring, while Malibu rolls around in agony. Stone sneers at Malibu, then spits in Patrick's face before climbing up on the apron, smiling the whole way.

 

COLE

What a disrespectful son of a bitch. Yet he thinks he can do good for this company? Drek Stone isn't in this for anyone but himself. This is all about feeding his own ego.

 

Stone gets back into the ring, and Patrick follows, starting a count on Zack. With the referee's back turned, Stone then ducks out of the ring once again, and creeps around ringside behind Zack, then nails him with a running lariat to the back of the head as he was just getting to his feet! Stone starts stomping Malibu once again, and violently pulls him to his feet and shoves him back into the ring, then follows. Zack starts coming up to his feet, but Drek runs at him and drills him with a kneelift, knocking Zack back to the canvas. Drek then pulls him up by the wrist, and wrenches Zack's arm before connecting with a blistering chop. Another wrench of the arm follows, and Zack is reeling, while Stone keeps the arm bar applied. Malibu flinches, then snatches Drek's wrist and counters with an arm wrench of his own, then pulls Drek down with a quick Russian Legsweep! Malibu rolls backwards, propping himself on both knees and grabbing Drek's head in an inverted facelock...the setup for the California Dream!

 

CABOOSE

We haven't seen Zack break out the California Dream in ages, but it looks like he's going for the submission!

 

Malibu hooks Drek's head and tries to hold him down, but a nervous Drek starts to power up, forcing Malibu to keep his leverage advantage by moving up to his feet with him. Drek quickly spins around and hooks Zack by the waist, countering the potential match-ender into a Northern Lights Suplex!

 

ONE!

 

T-NO!

 

Zack bridges out and pushes up while still holding onto Drek's waist. He turns so that he has Stone trapped in a standing headscissors, but Drek quickly takes Zack's legs out from under him! He holds on and tries to roll Zack over into a Boston Crab, but Malibu kicks off and forces Drek away, breaking the hold. Malibu comes up to his feet and sees Drek coming at him full blast, so he ducks and backdrops Drek over the ropes...but Stone hangs on and lands on the apron! He shoulderblocks Zack through the ropes and then slingshots himself into the ring, rolling Zack up with a sunset flip...but Malibu uses the momentum to roll himself through with the move and blasts Drek in the face with a basement dropkick! Stone is stunned, and pulls himself up and moves to the corner, checking to make sure all his teeth are intact. While distracted with his own well-being, Malibu comes to his feet and races across the ring, and Stone notices him too late, as Malibu is already airborne, and squashes Stone with a flying corner splash! Malibu takes the staggered Stone and snapmares him out of the corner, laying him on his back, and then springs up onto the top rope, leaping into the air and crashing down with a legdrop across the throat of his nemesis!

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

KICKOUT!

 

COACH

That was some high impact shit right there, but Drek Stone ain't stayin' down!

 

Malibu rises up off of Stone and backs away, actually giving Stone some recovery space...then grabs his arm and quickly wrings it, sending Stone facefirst into the canvas! Malibu then picks him up by the head and brings him to the corner, ramming his head into the turnbuckle twice before pulling him away from the corner and getting in front of him, planting him with an inverted atomic drop! Malibu then props himself up on the middle rope and leaps off, scissoring his legs around Drek's head, and snaps him to the canvas with a huracanrana! Drek scrambles to recover, while Zack races across the ring and grabs him by the head, kicking off the canvas and spinning around through the air...but Drek throws him off and back first into the corner, blocking the swinging DDT attempt! Drek then runs in with a knee to the ribs of Zack Malibu, doubling him over, and then props him up on the top rope before taking a moment to catch his breath. Stone then climbs up the ropes, but Malibu nails him with a right hand to the side of the head, and then another one, then shoves Drek down to the canvas! As Drek hits the ring below, Zack starts to try and stand on the top rope, but Stone recovers quickly, popping right up and running up the ropes, hooking his arm under Malibu's and tossing him from the top rope back down into the ring with a top rope armdrag!

 

CABOOSE

Malibu just flew across that ring, and not on his own accord either!

 

COACH

Zack drives an SUV though! Besides, Accord's don't fly! They're cars!

 

CABOOSE

Why can't you just stick to "Yo" and "Booyah"?

 

Stone gets up to his feet first, looking to keep the tide in his favor. He snags Malibu and wraps his arms around his waist, taking him over with a Northern Lights Suplex, and then rolls through with it, bringing both he and Zack to their feet and connecting with another Northern Lights Suplex! Drek again rolls over, bringing Zack up to his feet once again and this time dropping him with an inverted atomic drop before backing into the ropes and using them to shoot forward and crack Malibu in the face with a YAKUZA KICK~! Zack goes down, and Drek quickly follows, looking to get the pin on the crowd's hero.

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

KICKOUT!

 

COLE

A quick kick to the face put Zack down, but he's not going to stay down for long!

 

Drek comes up and starts hammering on Zack's back with forearm shots as the prep rises to his feet. Stone then sends Malibu to the ropes with a whip and lowers his head, and Malibu leapfrogs over him, then puts on the brakes and reaches back, pulling Stone down with a backslide!

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

NO!

 

Stone rolls out of the hold, freeing himself from the pinning predicament, as Patrick raises two fingers to the crowd, showing them it wasn't a three count. Stone gets up and inches closer to Zack, who quickly wraps an arm across his chest and tries for a Rock Bottom Backbreaker, but Drek elbows out of it, then takes Zack by the head and throws him over the top rope out to the floor below!

 

CABOOSE

It's a cowardly move, but also a tactic that could payoff in the long run. Drek Stone just tossed Zack out to the floor, using a simple method to break any change in momentum.

 

Drek ducks out to the apron and then leaps off, smacking Zack across the back of the head with a stiff forearm as he drops to the floor. Drek then pulls Zack up and takes him to the railing, putting his throat over the edge of it and pushing down on Zack's head, choking him on the railing! The fans boo relentlessly as Drek chokes his hated enemy, then pulls him up to his feet and runs him backwards into the apron! Zack staggers as he feels the pain surge up his spine, and Drek chops him several times as he's leaned up against the apron, then takes him by the head and spins him away, taking him by the head and shoving him forward into the ringpost, which Zack collides hard with!

 

COLE

Good God, Drek Stone just viciously tossed Zack Malibu into the ringpost!

 

The fans gasp in horror as Zack drops to the floor, laying face down. Drek slowly walks over, smirking the whole way, and kneels over Zack, pulling his head up and revealing a cut across Zack's forehead that has begun dripping blood! Stone looks out to the crowd, pleased with his actions...and then vicously crossfaces Zack across the head! Stone moves in front of Zack and reaches down, pulling him up to his knees, and then starts pounding on the cut, using repeated punches to open the cut even more! Stone acts disgusted, wiping his bloody hand on the ring apron, then delivers a running soccer kick to the ribs before picking Zack up and rolling him back into the ring.

 

CABOOSE

Drek Stone has gained a distinct advantage now. The more blood Zack loses, the weaker he'll become, and the greater the chance at Stone taking him out for good!

 

Zack crawls across the ring, drops of blood falling from his head and staining the canvas. Stone rolls into the ring and stands over Zack, hoisting him up and in one swift motion bringing him over with a release German Suplex! Drek then stands over Zack and brings the instep of his boot across Zack's forehead, raking it with the boot laces, and then kicks the cut several times, staining his own boot in Malibu's blood!

 

COLE

He's like a shark! He smells blood, and he's going in for the kill!

 

CABOOSE

Not without having some fun at Zack's expense though. He's toying with him now.

 

Stone yanks Zack off the canvas again and holds him at bay in a front facelock, the set up for the Stonecutter! Sensing Stone's attempt, Malibu quickly shoves Drek away, falling down to one knee in his process. Agitated, Stone comes back towards Zack and strikes him with a knee to the gut, knocking the wind out of him and going for another Stonecutter, but Zack shoves him away again, this time into the corner! Stone clears his head and then props himself up on the ropes, getting to his feet on the top...but Zack looks up and sees this, so he lunges forward and drops himself onto the top rope, causing them to shake and Drek to crotch himself!

 

COACH

Ooooooooooooooooh, that's not good!

 

Some fans groan in mock pain, others cheer wildly, as Stone's jaw is open in shock. He tries to recover, but Zack, using the ropes as support, walks to the corner and starts to climb up, stopping on the middle rope. Holding Drek by the head, he keeps him held while he hammers him with a trifecta of punches, then lowers his body and pulls Drek across his shoulders while standing on the turnbuckles!

 

COLE

What the?

 

CABOOSE

What is he doing?

 

His face drenched in his own plasma, Zack gets Drek up across his shoulders, and Stone tries to kick and break free...but Malibu keeps him in position as he leaps OFF the turnbuckles, flipping over in mid-air and crashing to the mat with Drek's body breaking his fall, absorbing the impact of his weight!

 

COLE

A somersault Samoan Drop off the middle ropes by Zack Malibu!

 

COACH

That was awesome!

 

Zack, having let go of Stone upon impact, rolls over and crawls onto his fallen foe, waiting for the referee's count!

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

TH-KICKOUT!

 

CABOOSE

It was awesome, but it wasn't enough!

 

The fans boo the kickout, thinking that that was something that would have done Drek in. Malibu gets up, but is visibly woozy, as he nearly falls over when he gets to his feet, a result of the blood loss. He crouches down, resting as he waits on Drek to get to his feet, and the fans buzz, knowing what's coming. Stone rises up slowly, not seeing Zack until it's too late. Malibu shuffles forward, bringing his right leg up...

 

SCHOOL'S OUT~!

 

CAUGHT~!

 

Drek delivers a blatant low blow that keels Zack over, and takes the Preppy One and lifts, delivering a hard powerbomb! Stone keeps a grip on Zack and powers up, raising Zack up again and dropping him with a second powerbomb! Still holding on, Stone lifts and struggles, pulling Zack up a third time...but this time Malibu grabs Drek by the head and pulls himself closer, AND STARTS BITING THE FOREHEAD OF DREK STONE!

 

COLE

Well, THAT'S new!

 

CABOOSE

I've never seen Zack do that to anyone!

 

COACH

He's going to leave a hickey on his forehead! That's just gross!

 

CABOOSE

...no, the fact that you've thought about that in that way is though.

 

Stone is stunned and hurting, and quickly releases his grip, letting Zack fall to his feet. Stone backs away instantly, holding his forehead. He looks up, and Zack comes flying at him with a ROARING ELBOW~!...but Stone ducks and hooks Malibu in a full nelson, then drives his head and neck into the canvas with a hard Dragon Suplex!

 

COLE

He calls his version The Recker, and I'd say it did just that to Malibu's neck!

 

Zack is too busy holding his neck to fight off Drek as he rolls him onto his back and covers, hooking his leg.

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

THR-NO!

 

Malibu's not too busy to avoid defeat, as he rolls a shoulder in the nick of time! Sensing his foe's weakness, Stone comes up, still with a headache after Malibu sank his teeth into his forehead. He pulls Zack up and hooks a facelock again, once again looking to drive his skull into the canvas with the Stonecutter...but Malibu slips out and quickly cracks Stone with School's Out before collapsing himself!

 

COLE

What the...he just...I didn't even...

 

CABOOSE

Malibu with the School's Out, and now they're both laid out!

 

COLE

It's moves like that that lead to victory. A superkick out of nowhere, cracking Drek Stone on the jaw, but unfortunately Malibu is just as worn out, unable to make the pin!

 

The Rosemont Horizon starts to fill up with with stomping and clapping, as the fans begin a rally for a certain someone not named Drek Stone.

 

"LET'S GO ZACK!"

"LET'S GO ZACK!"

"LET'S GO ZACK!"

 

Malibu comes up on his knees, and when he throws his head back and favors his neck, you can barely make out his facial features under all the blood. Stone has rolled onto his stomach, but Malibu gets up and then takes Stone up off the canvas, whipping him hard into the corner! Stone can't even brace himself for the collision, and is rattled upon impact, then can't put up a defense as Zack runs in and leaps into the air, driving both knees into his chest! Drek falls forward, right into Zack's arms, and Malibu lifts him up and then drives forward, ramming an upside down Drek into the turnbuckles several times before lifting him up in the air and dropping him face first on the top turnbuckle with snake eyes! Stone does a backwards roll sell and comes up on his knees, but as he pushes up further Malibu rushes him and grabs him by the head, this time connecting with a jump swinging DDT that spikes Stone's head on the canvas!

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

THREE...NO!

 

COACH

Just a deuce, not a tres!

 

CABOOSE

Do you listen to yourself at all?

 

Malibu slowly rises off Stone, but pulls Drek up with him, and then rocks him with a European uppercut, then hooks both of his arms and sets up for a butterfly suplex...but Stone backdrops Zack over! Stone quickly turns around and approaches Zack, then hooks both of his arms like Zack did moments earlier, using Malibu's planned butterfly suplex against him! Stone then backs into the ropes and jumps into the air, bringing a knee into Zack's forehead as well as the open wound, then covers him!

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

THREE...NO!

 

Angered, Stone pounds the canvas, feeling that Patrick is favoring Malibu and not counting as fast as he should. Stone approaches Patrick, but Nick warns him that he's not afraid to end the match the minute he tries something. Stone turns around and sees Zack pushing up onto all fours...but as he approaches Zack pounces forward and dives to the side, reaching back and rolling Drek up with a schoolboy!

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

NO!

 

Drek rolls through, escaping defeat, and as both men rise up, Stone grabs Zack and quickly drives his head into the canvas with a STONECUTTER!

 

COLE

HE HIT IT! HE GOT HIM!

 

Stone sits up and smirks, laughing to himself that he's finally got Zack. He covers, still hooking the leg for good measure...

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

THREE...NO!

 

The crowd roars, and Stone can't believe it! He gets up and approaches Patrick again, then waves him off and forgets about it, pulling Zack back up and hitting him with a second Stonecutter!

 

CABOOSE

Another one! This is not good!

 

Stone covers once again, and Patrick again comes down to count...

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

THREE!

 

NOOOOOOOOOOO! FOOT ON THE ROPES!

 

COACH

Damn!

 

COLE

Zack Malibu is still in this contest!

 

The crowd roars again, and Drek is furious, to say the least. He gets up and starts kicking at Malibu's limp form, then drops to his knees and starts punching Zack on the forehead. He takes Zack by the head and brings him up, then just as quickly sends him to the ropes, but when Malibu rebounds he blasts Drek in the face with a Yakuza Kick! Malibu falls to all fours, still weak despite the comeback. He gets to his feet, pacing the ring in order to regain some composure, while Stone is still reeling. Drek gets up and stumbles backwards, visibly shaken, and Malibu lets him back right into him...

 

...AND HITS HIM WITH THE ANGLE SLAM!??!?!?!?!?!

 

COLE

Did he, he just, I mean...

 

CABOOSE

We haven't seen that used since the days of Anglesault, and the heir to the company just dropped his rival with that legendary move!

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

THREE!

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

COLE

Dammit!

 

COACH

Mikey Cole, stop being so biased!

 

CABOOSE

Like if one of them had a set of cans you wouldn't be?

 

The crowd can't believe it, that Drek Stone would kick out of the Angle Slam...AT Angleslam! Malibu can't believe it either, and once again looks to finish Drek off...but as he drags him up Drek connects with a low blow to stun Malibu! He looks for another Stonecutter, but Malibu shoves him away, into the ropes and hiptosses him over. Even the simplest moves take Drek of course, as he reels from it, trying to figure out a strategy. Malibu comes up behind him as he gets to his feet and applies a sleeperhold, and the crowd roars in approval once again...but before Zack can hit the Trendsetter, Drek turns to the side and elbows him in the bread basket, then grabs him for the Stonecutter, but Zack slips out and tries a lariat, but Drek ducks that and lifts for a backbreaker...but Malibu floats over his shoulder, only to have Drek spin around and bring a knee up, then hit a quick Stonecutter on Zack Malibu! Knowing it may not be enough, he brings Zack up again, repeatedly kneeing him in the gut and then hits ANOTHER Stonecutter! Malibu is lifeless, but Stone doesn't care, as he starts stomping on the back of Zack's head, and brings him up again, holding him for a Stonecutter...but then reaches down and hooks Malibu's leg. He lifts Zack up, and it's an all too familiar visual, but normally one reserved for Zack to do...

 

...BECAUSE DREK STONE SLAMS THE HEAD OF ZACK MALIBU INTO THE CANVAS WITH A FALLING STAR DRIVER!

 

COLE

That spiteful sonuvabitch!

 

Drek nearly passes out from exerting so much energy, but rolls over and still hooks a leg, even though the bloody Malibu is completely blacked out.

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

THREE!

 

CABOOSE

He did it. Like it or not, he did it.

 

"Just Close Your Eyes" airs over the sound system, as Drek Stone rolls off of Zack Malibu, pleased with the sound of his theme music. Zack doesn't move, while Drek comes to his feet and orders Nick Patrick to raise his hand.

 

BUFFER

Ladies and gentlemen, your winner...DRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREK STOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!

 

Drek falls back into the ropes purposely, resting against them and looking at the fallen Franchise. Stone laughs to himself, a pleased smirk emblazoned across his face. Stone then ducks out of the ring, as the fans boo the fact that Drek Stone just made Angleslam a bad night for Zack Malibu for the third year running.

 

COLE

Drek Stone won the first battle, but you know the war between these two is far from over!

 

CABOOSE

Still Cole, this is a major coup for the Upstarts side of things. It's a phsyical and moral victory for all of them!

 

Stone struts up the ramp, nodding his head cockily, as fans tell him where to go. Meanwhile Zack Malibu is helped out of the ring by Nick Patrick. Several replays of action follow, and then it's off to the back...where a black sedan pulls up in the parking lot!

 

The cameras cut to the back, and we see the car arrive. Security approaches the vehicle, but they step back when the front passenger's side door opens. Out steps none other than......JAY RICHARDS. The crowd pops!

 

JAY

Awwwww, yeah, Jay Cool in the house, AngleSlam, baby, we going uptown, and--

 

"Would you shut up?"

 

The fans cheer as JUMBO gets out of the driver's side door!!

 

JAY

Hey, it's all good, big man. These people are here to see CSI! And you know what that means...

 

Jay knocks on the back passenger door, and the door opens. Out steps none other than CHRIS STEVENS.

 

COLE

CHRIS STEVENS IS BACK!

 

CABOOSE

WOO-HOO!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Stevens gets out of the car, dressed to the nines in a black suit and blue shirt and tie combo. Straightening his tie, Stevens smiles at Jay, who smiles back.

 

JAY

Yeah, let's get this party started. Hey Jumbo, we're hittin the PS2 at the after party.

 

Jumbo laughs, and Jay turns to face Chris. With a smile, Chris musses up his young friend's hair, and Jay laughs.

 

JAY

Knock it off, man.

 

STEVENS

Let's do this.

 

The three men head into the building.

 

COLE

CSI is here!!
