Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2006 Backstage, interviewer extraordinaire, and admitted metrosexual JOSH MATTHEWS~! is standing idly by, waiting for his next interview assignment, as various backstage personnel scurry past and do their various tasks for this live episode of HeldDOWN~! JOSH (to cameraman) So whaddya think, Marty? Hit up catering before the pre-match interview? MARTY Sounds good to me. Although from what I hear, you might wanna stay away from the roast beef. That stuff'll slide right through ya. JOSH It's probably how COD stays so skinny. But I kid, come...wait...Marty? MARTY Yeah? JOSH Why the hell are you filming this? MARTY Well ya know, I figure take some candid video footage and compile it one day, make a nice little documentary about the OAOAST. JOSH And somehow me talking about catering is going to make the cut? MARTY Well, uh... JOSH You haven't thought this through yet, have you? MARTY Not, uh...not really. JOSH I see, well... "Hey, Matthews! Over here." JOSH Oh...um, OK! Marty, c'mon, this could be good. The camera wobbles as Marty scurries behind Josh Matthews, who has headed over to ZACK MALIBU, and immediately shoves a mic in his face. Malibu slowly lowers Josh's hand (and the mic) so that it's not jabbing him in the chin. MALIBU Jeez, ten seconds later and already you're waving this thing in my face. Give me a minute to prep myself. Malibu, clad in jeans, a studded belt, and a PANIC! At The Disco t-shirt, cracks his neck and clears his throat, while Josh and Marty wait on him. MALIBU OK, I'm good. You ready. JOSH Ready. MALIBU OK. So...ready? JOSH Ready. MALIBU ...soooooo? JOSH What? MALIBU You're Josh Matthews... JOSH Yes. Zack slaps his head, while Marty's chuckling can be heard. JOSH Oh...OH! OK wait, let's start this again. Marty, are you ready? MALIBU Oh forget it, give me the mic! Irate, Zack swipes the mic and pushes Matthews off screen, taking the interview into his own hands. MALIBU Ladies and gentlemen, fans of the OAOAST, it is at this time I would like to extend my deepest apologies to Simon Singleton and Ned Blanchard, the tag team known as the New, New Midnight Express. It seems last week in all the focus being placed on The Upstarts, that I seemingly blew off their upcoming challenge for the World Tag Team Titles, and for that, I'm sorry. The New, New Midnight Express are one of the top tag teams in wrestling today, and are a definite threat...although the only thing Jim Cornette appears to be a threat to is a buffet table and good fashion sense. Still, his cunning and scheming has led the NNMX this far, and they'll soon get the rematch they've lusted after, much like how Ned lusts after women who can't speak English, since he can't understand when they reject him, and thus he goes home feeling good about himself despite the fact he's been told to "drown in a bag of cat cheese". See, it's like this, NNMX... Malibu's sly grin morphs into a grim scowl, and his eyes arch as they stare dead into the camera. MALIBU ...the Zack that cracks jokes and gets under the skin of his opponents? The Zack who slaps hands and kisses babies? You're not getting him. He's gone. He's dead and buried, covered in the blood from a Peter Knight beltshot. Soaked in the betrayal of a man called Axel. The Zack Malibu you're getting is a machine, hellbent...some say hellbound...but hellbent on the destruction of those that seek to destroy him. Simon and Ned, while this may not concern you directly, the fact is that you've picked the wrong time to come after something that's mine. You were in a fight before everything went down these past two weeks, and now? Now you're in for the fight of your life, and you have The Upstarts to thank for that. When I step into that ring and look across towards your corner, I won't just see you. I'll see Axel. I'll see Peter Knight. Scotty Static. Johnny Jax. Christian Wright. Bohemoth. Jamie O'Hara...EVERY GOD DAMN PERSON THAT LUSTS FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF THIS COMPANY AND LONGS TO BEAR WITNESS TO THE END OF MY CAREER. Zack breathes heavily, but pauses, as he's growing increasingly angered with every syllable. MALIBU I apologize to you, New, New Midnight Express, for not acknowledging you when I should have. I'd also like to apologize in advance for what is to come, because you two have to look forward to becoming casulties of war. See you soon. With that, Zack throws the mic back to Josh Matthews and storms off, leaving Josh wild-eyed and shocked, as the cameras cut from backstage back out to the arena.

Tony149 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2006 What do you have planned next week? I was thinking maybe we could do a Zack-Simon singles match, with Ned and Leon getting involved at the end and Rodez getting blasted in the ribs by the racket, which would play a part in the finish of the AP match.

Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2006 I was batting around the idea of having Axel tell Zack that's he's got to make it up to the NNMX face to face, but it's a trap that puts me in a two on one NHB match, and Axel bans Rodez from coming out or else he loses his spot in the Rumble and we get stripped of the tag belts. It furthers the tag angle, and it softens me up for the "bounty during the Rumble" angle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony149 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2006 That works. And it'll allow me to concentrate solely on the AP match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2006 (edited) Tony, Zack- If we're doing the "Title Can Change On DQ and CO" thing at AP, I was thinking we should have a match that ends with Zack causing a DQ win for the NNMX. Could we not do Zack vs. The NNMX in a straight 2 on 1 Handicap Match with Rodez barred from ringside? Have Zack try to fight the odds but in the end he just says to hell with it when Cornette gets involved, grabs the racket and smashes the referee who tries to stop him from going after The NNMX. That way, we can play up that if Zack does that at AP, the titles change hands. The NNMX escape as Rodez runs out and tries to calm Zack down, but then they come back and beat Zack and Rodez down and use the racket on Rodez.
