Malibu, Leon, and The Wildcards...

[Zack Malibu 0]

Right after the match, our cameras cut backstage, as they're quick to pick up on what's about to go down in the dressing room area.

 

"BLANK! COME ON, BLANK!"

 

Once again, Zack Malibu, still a member of the walking wounded due to the horrific beating he suffered two weeks ago at Angleslam, is a man on a mission, looking for nemesis Bruce Blank. Malibu blows past anyone and everyone in his search for Blank, screaming his name out and hoping that the sadistic redneck has the balls to answer his calls.

 

"BLANK! COME ON BRUCE, I..."

 

*WHAM~!*

 

In the midst of his search, Malibu is attacked from the left, rammed against the wall by none other than Todd Cortez, Blank's cohort in The Wildcards, and the man responsible for arranging the deal with Zack that he now regrets, the one which brought Blank, Bloodshed, and Cortez himself into the OAOAST! Malibu slouches against the wall, and Cortez brings repeated knee strikes into his gut, doubling him over and leaving him wide open to be hammered across the back. Malibu struggles to keep himself standing, and wraps his arms around Todd's waist, screaming loudly as he forces him back and slams him against a wall! Zack comes up to a vertical base and pins his forearm against Todd's throat, looking him right in the eye as he blocks any air from being breathed in! Cortez struggles, and finally manages to headbutt Zack flush in the nose, possibly breaking it in the process! Malibu reels, and Todd takes him by the head and slams him face first into the wall, Malibu's blood now staining the pure white wall! Todd then takes Malibu by the head and hurls him to the floor by the entranceway, and Malibu winds up rolling away, out onto the entrance ramp! The crowd roars at the sight of the fight, as Cortez drives the sole of his boot across Zack's cheekbone when the Preppy One tries to stand up!

 

COLE

...are we...OK, Coach, our mics are back on, and we've got a situation right now!

 

COACH

A situation? This isn't a situation, Mikey Cole, this is a code red...literally!

 

COLE

Zack Malibu has been busted open once again at the hands of The Wildcards, namely Todd Cortez, who jumped Malibu in the backstage area as he sought to find Bruce Blank!

 

Malibu, crawling on all fours, has no defense when Cortez undoes the belt from his jeans and takes it in one hand, cracking it over Malibu's back repeatedly! Malibu rolls onto his back and into a guard position, trying to defend himself from Cortez's assault, and manages to kick him away and he comes closer. Zack pushes up to his feet, with Cortez coming at him again, and Zack lunges forward with a right hand to the nether regions, knocking Cortez to his knees!

 

COACH

Well, when all else fails, go low!

 

Cortez is moaning in pain, having dropped his belt at his side. Malibu claims the items and wraps it around his hand, letting the point of the belt buckle remain exposed...SO THAT HE CAN JAB IT INTO CORTEZ'S FOREHEAD!

 

COLE

HE'S CUTTING TODD CORTEZ OPEN! HE'S USING THAT BELT BUCKLE TO OPEN HIM UP!

 

Malibu rakes the buckle across Todd's forehead, then jabs at the wound to open it further, covering his right hand in blood. Malibu then grabs Todd's head in his hands, and starts pressing his thumb, and the point of the belt buckle dangerously close to Cortez's right eye!

 

COLE

He's going for the eye again, just like he tried to do to Bruce Blank at Angleslam!

 

COACH

He damn near tore his out then, so what's gonna happen n...

 

*KEEEE-RASH~!*

 

COLE

DAMMIT! DAMMIT TO HELL, now it's a mugging!

 

The sound you just heard was a light fixture being smashed across the forehead of Zack Malibu by Bloodshed, who rushed out from the back to aid his partner. Malibu lay flat on his back, his forehead now dripping with blood from the broken glass...as Bloodshed takes the jagged end of the fixture and holds it in his hand, kneeling next to Zack and targeting his forehead!

 

COACH

They're carving him up, Cole!

 

Malibu shouts in pain as Bloodshed goes to work on him, like a horror movie villain maiming his latest victim. Cortez gets up and holds Malibu's arms down, not letting him attempt to defend himself, as Bloodshed starts working him over with the shrapnel...but a loud cheer from the crowd lets us know that help is on the way!

 

COLE

IT'S LEON! LEON RODEZ!

 

Rodez, in street clothes, rushes to the aid of his old partner with a steel chair in hand as his weapon of choice! Bloodshed turns to see what the commotion is about, but before he can go after Leon with his jagged shank, Rodez blasts him across the head enough to stagger him back, then floors him with another wicked chairshot that brings him down! Cortez leaps up and goes after Leon, but Leon cocks back and fires off a chairshot at him too, nailing Todd so hard that both of his feet come right out from under him, and he crashes onto his back!

 

COACH

WHAT A SHOT! DAYUM!

 

Leon stands over Cortez, and then turns to see Bloodshed, smiling through dripping blood, standing their with his weapon of choice, ready to react. Rodez glares at him, silently daring him to do his worst, but security and staff rush out to clear the aisleway and prevent anymore damage from being done.

 

COLE

They're getting hauled away, and that may be best, for ALL involved!

 

Rodez knocks the arms and hands of security away, leaning to look at his fallen friend and check on him. Bloodshed is physically dragged back towards the dressing room area, smiling a sick smile at Rodez, as the two stare each other down.

 

COLE

They were partners in The Usual Suspects, and earlier this year when most of the locker room was against Zack bringing The Wildcards in, it was Leon who became the first to stand up for Zack when everything came crashing down around him.

 

COACH

We've seen Zack left laying before, left to fight his own battles...but after the way The Wildcards crossed the line, it looks like the OAOAST locker room is becoming more of a united front...and it looks like the former World Tag Team Champions are leading the charge!

 

Rodez helps Zack to his feet, while a trainer comes over with a towel to block the blood from flowing out of his forehead, as we fade away from the chaos, and to a commercial break.
