Zack Malibu vs. Bruce Blank

Recommended Posts

The match is about 50% done, with just some editing on Bruce's portions and my own additions left. I'm going to add those portions as I do them, that way the whole match isn't spoiled before the PPV. It will be done in time for Sunday night for sure!

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The time has come. The demeanor of the crowd is mixed as the lights dim, and the specially made steel cage for the Survive or Surrender match is lowered over the ring. Will the hometown hero gain his ultimate retribution against his most hated rival, or will the most reviled man in wrestling score the greatest win of his career, and send the OAOAST's favorite son into a forced retirement from the business he loves?

 

Tonight, one man will survive, and one will surrender...and whoever surrenders will be surrendering not just a victory, but their career, and their lifeblood, to their foe.

 

COLE

It's the calm before the storm here right now fans, as everyone in the arena, and by that I mean the people in the stands, in the locker room, and here at ringside await the closing chapter of the most brutal feud in OAOAST history.

 

COACH

Ain't no comin' back for this one, Mikey Cole. We in Zack's house, his hometown, and tonight, he's puttin' it all on the line in front of his friends and family for one simple reason: REVENGE.

 

COLE

Tonight, one man's career will end inside the four walls of the cage you see being placed around the ring. Notice that the cage is specially made to attatch to the ring apron instead of the normal encasing of the entire ring, in order to prevent any possible interference from people hiding out under the ring. Keep in mind that there is no door on any of the four walls, and the roof is fully intact. Once the combatants are inside the cage, it will be fully lowered over them, and will not rise until one man has been deemed victorious.

 

The cameras scan the crowd as the paying customers flock back to their seats, not one of them wanting to miss a minute of the action.

 

COACH

We got a lot of people here in attendance tonight too, Cole. A lot of friends and enemies of Zack Malibu can't believe he's going through with this.

 

COLE

Personally Coach, I still can't believe he's going through with this. I've known Zack Malibu since the moment he set foot in the OAOAST. At one point, you could have considered me a sidekick to The In Crowd. Tonight we see people like Sly Sommers, who has made his intentions clear as to why he's looking forward to this match. Calvin Szechstein, currently on Zack's good side despite their past dealings. Peter Knight, a man who just last year cost Zack Malibu the Lethal Rumble at this very event, and even the original In Crowd members EvenflowDDT and The Superstar sitting, watching, and waiting. We have Zack's personal friends, his family, all in attendance. Friend or foe, you have to respect what Zack Malibu's done for this company, and no one wants it to end. He's going up against a man he's never beaten, a man who will show no mercy or remorse, and is going to treat this match as his bloody playground. Zack Malibu, for all he's accomplished, may have bitten off more than he can chew.

 

With those cryptic words uttered, the camera closes in on ring announcer Michael Buffer walking up the ring steps, and the crowd starts to buzz, as they know the match is mere moments away.

 

MICHAEL BUFFER

Ladies and gentlemen, ARE YOU READY!?

 

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!

 

MICHAEL BUFFER

Providence, Rhode Island ARE – YOU – READY??

 

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!

 

MICHAEL BUFFER

Then for the thousands in this arena and the millions watching across the globe, LETS GET READY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

 

OAO-AST!! OAO-AST!! OAO-AST!! OAO-AST!! OAO-AST!!

 

MICHAEL COLE

They are fired up, Coach! It seems like Providence is going into this with a positive attitude!

 

COACH

No doubt, because this may be the last time we have to tolerate Bruce Blank in an OAOAST ring!

 

MICHAEL COLE

Please dear God let it be so!

 

MICHAEL BUFFER

Ladies and gentlemen, and the viewing public watching live on pay-per-view, THIS is the SURVIVE OR SURRENDER MATCH! Notice that the cage above the ring has been constructed with four solid walls of steel mesh, and a roof over it. There is no door, and thus, no entry. Once both participants have entered the ring, the cage will be lowered over the ring, and attatched to the ring apron. The only way to win is for one man to quit...submit...SURRENDER. Tonight, their are no titles at stake in this contest, but the careers of Zack Malibu and Bruce Blank lay in each other's hands. One man will emerge victorious, and seal the fate of his eternal foe. The loser, however, will be served his walking papers, and have his career ended! It is a battle of pride, and of redemption, and now...the participants.

 

MICHAEL COLE

I’m torn Coach, I mean I want Zack to win and get rid of Bruce – but he’s making the gamble of his life here, he could lose everything he holds near and dear to him.

 

COACH

I admire Malibu’s gut but you’ve got to remember that Blank has really done a number on Zack more or less every time they’ve met, he really has gotten Zack rattled. We could be saying good bye to Zack tonight.

 

MICHAEL BUFFER

Introducing first…

 

ZACK!! ZACK!! ZACK!! ZACK!! ZACK!! ZACK!! ZACK!!

 

The chants are heavy and strong, as the crowd waits for the hometown hero to appear. The lights drop, and the chant turns to a roar, as...

 

"BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG"

 

The ringing into to the "Saved By The Bell" theme song booms through the arena, and cuts quickly to the chorus of Eminem's "Til' I Collapse"...

 

"Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out

Till my legs give out, can't shut my mouth.

Till the smoke clears out and my high wear out

I'ma rip this shit till my bone collapse."

 

Which then cuts to...

 

"(Wake me up)

Wake me up inside

(I can’t wake up)

Wake me up inside

(Save me)

call my name and save me from the dark..."

 

After that, both the music and the lights totally shut down, leaving the arena cloaked in darkness. Some people use their cellphones or lighters for visual aid, but within seconds they're not needed, as the Angletron shines bright once again, and the bass line for "Getting Away With Murder" kicks in.

 

*FWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSHHHH!!*

*FWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSHHHH!!*

*FWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSHHHH!!*

 

The distant shot that captures the cage slowly lowering as Zack Malibu steps into the arena serves as a poignant reminder of the hell that awaits Zack Malibu.

 

”Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness

I need to calculate what creates my own madness

And I'm addicted to your punishment

And you're the master, and I am waiting for disaster”

 

BUFFER

From PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND, he weighs in tonight at two hundred and five pounds...he is ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLIBUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

 

The look on Zack’s face is equal parts anger and frustration and anticipation as he pauses on the top of the ramp for a second to soak up the absolutely atomic crowd reaction. In what is a departure from Malibu’s normal attire Mr. OAOAST has both his hands heavily taped up all the way to his elbow pads, probably both for protection against the cage but also for added impact against Bruce. Gone are the standard wrestling tights as attire, as tonight, Malibu comes out clad in blue jeans and an OAOAST logo T-shirt, proudly wearing the name of the company he loves across his chest.

 

MICHAEL COLE

This man has been through the wars for the last three quarters of a year, he’s been to hell and back fighting with the Wildcards and tonight it all comes to an end, one way or the other.

 

COACH

You know at first I really though he had it coming, after all *HE* brought the Wildcards into the OAOAST, but those sick bastards crossed the line when they entered the Malibu home and intimidated his girlfriend and their newborn daughter.

 

MICHAEL COLE

And when the Coach thinks you’ve gone to far then you must be really depraved.

 

”I feel irrational, so confrontational

To tell the truth I am getting away with murder

It is impossible to never tell the truth

But the reality is I'm getting away with murder”

 

Instead of sliding through the 2 foot gap between the ring apron and the dangling cage Zack circles the ring as he almost shakes with anticipation and anger. While several fans reach out and pad him on the shoulders or shout words of encouragement the usually fan friendly Zack Malibu doesn’t respond, no high fives, no gestures – he’s in a world of his own with only one goal.

 

”Getting away, getting away, getting away”

 

MICHAEL BUFFER

And his opponent…

 

BLANK SUCKS!!

BLANK SUCKS!!

BLANK SUCKS!!

BLANK SUCKS!!

 

The chants drown out Michael Buffer for a moment, while Zack paces back and forth on the far side of the ring. Zack waits impatiently like a caged tiger, even though he’s technically not caged yet.

 

MICHAEL BUFFER

Approaching the ring at this time, he is the leader of the group known as The Wildcards. Weighing in tonight at an even three hundred pounds, he is BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANK!!”

 

The opening guitar warble alerts everyone that Bruce Blank is about to enter the arena, and the expected reaction ensues, as Blank walking into Providence is like a KKK member walking the streets of Harlem.

 

I walk a lonely road

The only one that I have ever known

Don't know where it goes

But it's home to me and I walk alone“

 

WHIIIIIIIIIIIITE TRASH!! WHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITE TRASH!!

 

After a moment or two of Green Day playing the crowds attention is drawn to the side of the entrance set up as they hear a loud truck horn play “I wish I was in Dixie” as an engine revs up.

 

" I walk this empty street

On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams

Where the city sleeps

and I'm the only one and I walk alone"

 

Instead of walking down the entrance Bruce appears on the back of a huge Ford F350 Pick-Up truck with one hand on the roll bar and another holding a beer up high in the air as he grins in anticipation, this is his night it would seem. His newly acquired ride complete with sparking chrome, a crisp black paint job that’s accentuated by airbrushed blue flames licking down each side of the trunk and “King of Pain” written across the hood really screams of how confident Bruce Blank is tonight.

 

MICHAEL COLE

Trust him to make a big pompous entrance, even in Zack Malibu's own hometown!

 

COACH

Well now they have something to drive him away in after the match is over, Cole.

 

" I walk alone

I walk alone"

 

WHIIIIIIIIIIIIIITE TRASH!! WHIIIIIIIIIIIIITE TRASH!!

 

Bruce doesn’t seem to even hear the chants from the crowd, and as the pick up truck brings him to the ring in style, he’s busy drinking a beer and holding on to the moving truck. Once the truck stops Bruce turns to the fans and raises both arms in the air, taking an early crack at celebrating the victory he’s been predicting all along.

 

COACH

Bruce seems awfully confident here – yeah he’s got a new car and yes he’s the self proclaimed “King of Pain” but it’ll take more than that to win this match.

 

MICHAEL COLE

Well he may have proclaimed himself the King of Pain but tonight he either earns the name or leaves the federation.

 

" I walk alone

I walk a... "

 

As Blank poses on the roof of the truck, basking in the hatred of the Rhode Island crowd, Malibu's patience wears thin. The Preppy One races across the ring and makes a clean leap onto the top rope, and springboards off with a dive that knocks Bruce off the roof of the truck and down into the bed, along with Malibu as well!

 

MICHAEL COLE

HE CAN’T WAIT!!

 

"My shadow's the only one that walks beside me

My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating

Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me

'Til then I walk alone"

 

The music quickly cuts out, as Malibu stands up and takes Bruce Blank by the head, ramming it into the roof of his new ride! Malibu then spins Blank around and pins him against the back window of the truck, hammering away with those taped fists of his as the crowd hits a complete uproar!

 

MICHAEL COLE

Malibu is going completely kamikaze on Bruce Blank!!

 

COACH

Get that sucka, Zack!

 

Malibu pounds on the redneck, much to the crowd's delight...but when he pulls him up Blank charges forward, wrapping his thick arms around Zack's waist in the process! He pushes forward, and together Zack and Bruce spill out of the bed of the truck and into the aisleway! Once they hit the floor they seperate, and take a moment to regain their composure. They both rise to their feet, and Zack fires off those patented right hands, staggering the big man...until a knee to the stomach doubles him over! Bruce then pounds on Zack with forearm shots across the back, and takes him by the head, swinging him around and sending him into the guardrail! The small of Zack's back crashes against the metallic barrier, and Blank takes advantage of his stunned state of mind when he rushes forward and blasts Zack with a hard lariat that topples him over the guardrail, into the sea of fans!

 

COLE

Zack just got dumped into the crowd, and Blank is following suit!

 

COACH

That man don't wanna be in THIS crowd...he's on Zack's turf tonight!

 

Bruce steps over the railing, and immediately he's crowded by the fans...and he starts shoving ticket buyers left and right, paving a way towards Zack Malibu! Frightened and intimidated, the rest of the crowd backs off as Blank comes at Zack, who has his back turned...and blasts him with a shot between the shoulder blades knocking him down again! Blank snickers as he pulls Zack right back up, and he turns Zack around and walks him towards the guardrail...then lifts him up and drops him across it, crotching him on the unforgiving steel!

 

COLE

This match is not even underway yet, and Zack Malibu is already being forced to suffer by that madman!

 

COACH

They gotta get in the cage!

 

COLE

Are YOU going to tell them that?

 

COACH

Me? No...I mean, I was just sayin'.

 

Blank shoves Zack off the guardrail and back into the aisleway, brushing off the fans who still dare to come near him. Blank follows Zack over, and again picks Malibu up before he's fully recovered, this time taking him by the back of his neck and running him forward, face first into the back of his pickup truck!

 

COLE

Blank is doing a number on Malibu here, he's softening him up! He doesn't want to be inside that cage, because there'll be nowhere for him to run! He thinks that by doing this, he'll have it easy!

 

COACH

Easy? Playa's playin' himself if he thinks that after what he's done, that this is gonna be easy!

 

The crowd is still electric, booing even the slightest motions made by the Southern sadist. Yet again, Blank pulls Zack up, treating him like a playtoy...and he drives that point home even further by lifting Zack up over his head in a military press...and then showing off his strength by doing reps with the smaller Malibu in his grasp!

 

COLE

Look at him, rubbing it in everyone's face!

 

Blank laughs as he shows off his power, but then winces in pain as Malibu digs his fingernails into his eyes and rakes them, causing Blank to drop him from the press! Zack lands behind Bruce, and powers up to his feet, coming back with a running kick that strikes Blank between the legs and doubles him over!

 

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!"

 

COACH

I hope he don't plan on rubbing THAT in anyone's face anytime soon!

 

Bruce is stunned, and Malibu quickly calls to the fans, HIS fans, for a chair. One in particular hands one to Zack, and he takes it as quickly as he asked for it, using it to hit a hard shot across the shoulder blades of Bruce Blank! The big man drops, but grabs onto the back of his truck and pulls himself up, his eyes burning with anger as he turns around...and gets BLASTED with a hard shot across the head that knocks him against his truck! Blank slouches down into a seated position, but Malibu doesn't let up, as he goes over to Blank with the chair held vertically, and drives the edge of it into his throat, trying to drive the life out of his hated rival as he lay bleeding in the aisleway!

 

COLE

Zack's drawn first blood, because Bruce is busted open...and they're STILL not inside the cage yet!

 

Referee Nick Patrick, and a slew of OAOAST road agents and staff flock to the aisleway, trying to seperate Zack and Bruce and get them into the ring. Zack pulls back and clutches the chair menacingly, looking ready to hit anyone within reaching distance. The agents and Patrick scatter, trying to plead with Zack, and several of them form a wall, blocking Zack from getting to Bruce once again, which doesn't get a positive reaction from the fans.

 

COLE

The fans came to see Survive Or Surrender, but they don't want this brawl to end!

 

Malibu is pushed towards the ring by Patrick and several others, and reluctantly abides. He slides the chair in under the bottom rope and then hops up on the apron, waiting on Blank. He looks like he's ready to dive onto EVERYONE, but thinks better of the move and backs off, entering the ring and circling it, taking a moment to soak in the adulation of his applauding fanbase. Meanwhile, Blank is getting up, and when he does he's FURIOUS, and he starts cleaning house on the staff! Clobbering rights and lefts, the ruthless redneck is crazed in his efforts, as the blood flow has drawn out a bit of rage. He wipes his forehead and looks into the ring, disgusted, at Zack, and he charges the ring, sliding into it and FINALLY causing the bell to ring!

 

DING! DING! DING!

 

COACH

FINALLY!

 

COLE

HERE WE GO, COACH!

 

As soon as Bruce slides into the ring, the cage begins to lower around he and Zack, and Nick Patrick quickly rolls into the ring, weilding the microphone that will broadcast the surrender of one of these men. Zack works over Blank as he slides in, kicking him in the back of the head repeatedly before picking him up and shoving him into the ropes. Bruce bounces forward after hitting the ropes, and Malibu hits an inverted atomic drop, once again staggering Bruce due to its effect on his manhood...and then Zack starts biting him over the eye, digging his teeth into the flesh of his rival!

 

COACH

He's gone cannibal, Cole!

 

Bruce shouts out in agony, and uses his power advantage to shove Zack to the mat, saving himself from any more pain. Zack rolls through and pops right back up to his feet though, and comes at him and starts biting AGAIN, causing Blank to scream once again!

 

COACH

He's hurting, Cole! You think he's ready to surrender?

 

COLE

I think we've got a ways to go, Coach.

 

Blank uses his leverage advantage, and manages to push Zack into a corner even while he's being bitten by the hometown hero. Blank manages to pull away, then rams his knee into Zack's ribcage, then drops low and drives his shoulders into his ribcage once, twice, three, four, FIVE times, driving all of the air out of Zack's lungs! Malibu gasps for air, and is stuck in the corner as Blank pulls himself up...and now HE starts biting ZACK!

 

COLE

Ugh, no!

 

Blank chews on the skin over Zack's eye, and it doesn't take much time for that tactic to draw blood. Zack looks like he's crying crimson tears as the blood drops off his face and stains the canvas, and Blank leads him out of the corner and sends him into the ropes, nailing him with a big boot on the rebound! Zack goes down, and now Bruce eyes the steel chair that Zack slid into the ring when he entered, and it's now in the hands of the Redneck Superman, who picks it up and drives the edge of it into Zack's throat, trying to choke Zack just as Zack did to him earlier in the aisleway!

 

"C'mon boy, surrender! Make it easy on yourself!"

 

Blank stands over Zack, choking the life out of him, and ordering him to give up. Zack moans and groans, but never do any words form, and certainly not any that would cause him to lose this contest, and his career in the OAOAST. Blank pulls the chair off his throat, but with it still held vertically, drives the edge of it into Zack's ribcage repeatedly, causing Malibu to curl up into the fetal position and cough up a lung!

 

COLE

The use of that chair is perfectly legal. The biting, the eye gouging, the low blows...whatever these two men need to do in order to make the other give up, they CAN do. Nick Patrick's not going to stop them, and the cage is there so that no one else attempts to stop them. Given what we've seen in the past from these two men, and even with what we've seen in the past ten or so minutes, we know what they're capable of, but the question remains...what will it take to get one of these men to surrender his life in wrestling, and swallow the bitter pill of losing professional wrestling's most brutal feud?

 

Blank throws the chair aside, stalking Malibu as the prep lay on the mat, coughing. Blank reaches down and pulls Zack up, and once he's on his feet Bruce runs him forward a few steps, then biels him into the wall of the cage, backing off as Malibu collides face first with the mesh! Zack bounces back and lands on all fours, and Bruce steps over him, then reaches under his chin and yanks back on his head, then with his free arm blasts him with a hard crossface shot! Blank switches hands, and then utilizes the same tactic, blasting Zack across the side of his face with another hard crossface shot. Blank then yanks back on Zack's head again with a rear chinlock, and then moves his fingers into Zack's open mouth, stretching his cheeks out as if he were trying to peel the skin off of Zack's face!

 

COACH

He's sick, Cole, sick!

 

Zack is in pain, and Patrick remains close, in case the former OAOAST World Champion can't take it anymore and decides to submit. Blank looks down at Zack, tearing at his face, and moving off of his back. He pulls Zack up, still with his fingers jammed into his mouth, and as Zack forces himself to stand up, Blank violently pulls back, snapping Zack to the canvas! The back of Malibu's head bounces off of the ringmat, and Bruce runs the ropes, delivering a huge legdrop to Malibu!

 

COLE

Bruce just dropped that tree trunk across Zack's throat, and...now look at this!

 

After hitting the legdrop, Bruce kneels over Zack, taking him by the head and viciously rams it repeatedly into the canvas. Bruce sneers as he stares at Zack, telling him "I'm gonna make you quit, you son of a bitch!" before he brings him up and whips him into the corner. Bruce charges in, and he connects with a hard running lariat that smashes Zack against the turnbuckles! Zack flops forward after contact, but Bruce takes him by the head and runs him across the ring, sending him face first into the top turnbuckle! Malibu is stuck in a fog, unable to clear the cobwebs, as Blank spins him around and pins him in the corner, then takes his boot and jams it into Zack's throat, AGAIN going back to a choking tactic to try and wear Malibu out!

 

COLE

If he can't get air, he can't get energized! Bruce Blank knows he cannot afford to let Zack get any momentum, because if Zack manages to get on a roll, that rage that's been burning inside him for nearly a year is going to come out, and I don't know if even Bruce Blank could withstand what Zack Malibu would like to do to him!

 

Bruce releases, and backs away, leaving Malibu to his own devices, aching in the corner. Blank circles the ring, his evil eyes visible under the crimson mask as he stares at Malibu, and then reaches into his boot.

 

COACH

What's he doin'...he ain't strapped is he!?

 

COLE

For the love of God, Coach...I hope not.

 

After a moment or two of digging, Bruce comes up not with a firearm, but with a spike! The crowd gasps in horror as he approaches Malibu, ready to strike with the spike...

 

...but before it can come down and stab him, Malibu grabs the wrist of his rival, trying desperately to keep him at bay!

 

COLE

He just tried to implant that spike into his head, and thank God Malibu saw it coming!

 

Zack grabs Bruce's wrist with both of his hands, trying to force the spike back, as it looms dangerously close to his eye. Malibu climbs up onto the turnbuckles, sitting on the top rope in order to gain leverage against his larger foe, and manages to nail Blank in the side of the head with an elbow! And another one! And a third! Bruce staggers, but he still tries forcing the spike into Malibu's face, although another elbow shot dazes him long enough for Malibu to kick off of the turnbuckles, and bring him down with a tornado single arm DDT!

 

COLE

He brought him down!

 

Blank is stunned, and crawls on all fours, searching for the spike that he dropped...but as he crawls to the feet of Zack Malibu, he sees that the spike is in the hands of the man who wishes him dead!

 

COACH

Aw snap, he's in for it now.

 

Blank comes up on his knees, and puts his hands up, pleading with Zack not to do it...but mercy is not in Malibu's vocabulary as he takes Blank by the head and digs the sharp end of the spike into his forehead, slicing him open!

 

COLE

Never in my life have I felt an individual deserved to be victimized like this, but you've had it coming, Bruce Blank!

 

F*CK HIM UP ZACK F*CK HIM UP!! *Clap!Clap!-Clap!*

F*CK HIM UP ZACK F*CK HIM UP!! *Clap!Clap!-Clap!*

F*CK HIM UP ZACK F*CK HIM UP!! *Clap!Clap!-Clap!*

F*CK HIM UP ZACK F*CK HIM UP!! *Clap!Clap!-Clap!*

 

While people like Sly Sommers and Peter Knight are probably rolling their eyes as they watch on, the vast majority of the crowd inside the Dunkin' Donuts Center is egging Malibu on, motivating him to destroy the career of the man who has tried to destroy his life. After having his forehead carved like a Thanksgiving turkey, Blank pulls himself away from Malibu, nearly collapsing due to the wear and tear and excessive blood loss. Zack has other ideas though, as he stalks his rivals and pulls him up by his greasy, blood soaked hair and runs him towards the wall of the cage, sending him into it face first! Blank falls back, landing on one knee, and Zack hits the ropes, coming back and connecting with a basement dropkick to the chin of Bruce, dropping him on his back! Malibu then mounts Bruce's shoulders, still clutching the spike, and now looks to drive the proverbial stake through the heart of the vampire, as he inches the spike even closer to Bruce's eye!

 

COACH

I'd make a See No Evil joke here, but I don't think it's the time.

 

Malibu brings the spike forward, aiming the pointed tip at Bruce’s right eye! Bruce is able to get a hand up at the last moment to block the attempted blinding and holds the spike off, his arm shaking as he musters all the strength he can. Malibu again uses the leverage advantage and leans forward, putting a lot of pressure on Bruce’s arm still trying to force the spike into Bruce’s eye! Out of sheer desperation, Blank rolls and throws Malibu off of him, the spike sent rolling across the canvas after the break. Malibu quickly gets on top again and this time starts using his fists to do the dirty work, being sure to never let up as the crowd roars with approval. Once again though, Blank shoves Zack off of him and then rolls onto all fours, and when Zack approaches again, he's rocked by a low blow!

 

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!"

 

Zack drops to his knees just as fast as his jaw dropped due to the impact of the shot! Bruce uses the ropes to pull himself up, and the various puddles of blood that dripped from the heads of both men have now made the normally clean ringmat nearly completely red! Zack pushes up to his feet, still aching and holding onto the "soft spot", and like a shark, Blank smells blood in the water. He moves towards Zack, rolling his fists menacingly, but as he get closer...

 

...ZACK BLASTS HIM WITH SCHOOL'S OUT...

 

...BUT BRUCE CATCHES HIS FOOT!

 

COACH

Aw, sh*t!

 

COLE

Zack was playing possum for a minute there, but he couldn't connect with his patented superkick!

 

Blank laughs, and then uses Zack's leg to pull the prep closer, and snatches him by the throat, then lifts him and plants him with a chokeslam in one smooth motion!

 

COLE

He nearly drove him through the ring with that chokeslam!

 

Malibu lay perfectly still on the canvas, and Blank, who rests on one knee besides him, lightly slaps his face, mocking his physical state. He stands over Zack and then starts fiddling with his belt buckle, unstrapping his leather belt from around his waist and folding , clutching the buckle end in his hand like a handle as he stars laying into Zack with whips with the strap!

 

BRUCE BLANK SUCKS!

BRUCE BLANK SUCKS!

BRUCE BLANK SUCKS!

 

The crowd does their best to distract the maniacal Southerner from his efforts, but Bruce doesn't let up, going so far as to tear the OAOAST T-shirt off of Zack, and then act like he's wiping his ass with it before resuming with the belt whips!

 

COLE

What a disgusting individual! IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE LEFT! WE DIDN'T NEED THIS!

 

The crowd continues to get on Blank's case, but they get fired up when Malibu starts pushing off the mat, up to all fours...and then gets dropped again by more whips! Malibu's cries are audible as the welts form on his back, turning his flesh bright red! He tries to crawl away, reaching for the ropes, the turnbuckles...ANYTHING really...but Blank grabs him by the ankle and drags him to center ring, where the whipping resumes! Malibu doesn't get up until Blank pulls him up, onto both of his knees...and then Bruce unravels the strap and WRAPS IT AROUND ZACK'S THROAT!

 

COLE

He's choking him out! He's choking him with that damn belt!

 

"GIVE IT UP, BOY!" shouts Blank, looking more and more like he's attempting murder rather than trying to win a wrestling match.

 

"YOU CAN'T BEAT ME, BOY! GIVE IT UP WHILE YOU CAN!"

 

Nick Patrick, the look of concern on his face only rivaled by his scared reactions to what's gone on in this contest, leans in, checking to see if Malibu has had enough, and if he's willing to save himself by ending it right now.

 

"Zack? Zack, what do you say, Zack?"

 

"Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn...unnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnh..."

 

Malibu tries to fight free, digging his fingers under the strap and tries to pull it off his throat.

 

"NOOOOOO!"

 

The crowd pops loudly, as Zack refuses...AND POWERS UP! Malibu pushes up to his feet, and twists his body to the side, nailing Bruce in the ribs with an elbow! Bruce hobbles back, but his grip on the belt loosens, and Malibu takes it...AND STARTS WHIPPING AWAY IN A FRENZY!

 

COACH

GET HIM ZACK! GET HIM!

 

Blank tries to shield himself from the blows, but Zack is going postal, hitting shot after shot after shot! He corners Blank, and then wraps the belt around his fist, with the buckle covering his knuckles. Zack then stands up on the second rope and starts raining punches down on Blank, driving the belt buckle into his forehead with every blow! Blank's body goes limp as he slides down into a seated position, and Zack backs off, then charges forward, smashing Bruce's head against the middle turnbuckle with a hard running knee!

 

COLE

Did you see his head snap back!?!

 

Malibu throws the belt down, fueled by fury and rage.

 

"GET UP, YOU SON OF A BITCH!"

 

Blank is dazed in the corner, and barely moves, let alone respond.

 

"GET UP! COME ON YOU BASTARD!"

 

Malibu waits, but still, Bruce isn't going anywhere. Patrick goes over and asks if he's ready to give, but Bruce doesn't answer, or even acknowledge it!

 

COACH

He might be knocked out after that knee, Cole!

 

Malibu, not wanting to wait any longer, comes towards the corner...but as he approaches, he catches a face full of white powder from Bruce Blank!

 

COLE

What the...he had powder in his hands the whole time! He suckered him in, and now Zack is blinded!

 

Malibu can't see, and staggers back, trying to regain his vision. Blank reaches up and pulls himself up with the ropes, and when he stands he reaches into his pocket again.

 

COACH

What's he doin', Cole?

 

COLE

I shudder to think. He's...wait, now what's this?

 

Blank pulls out something crumbled up, and unfolds it.

 

COLE

That's...that's a plastic bag?! What is he...

 

Before Cole can ask the question, he gets the answer, as Bruce takes the plastic bag and PUTS IT OVER ZACK MALIBU'S HEAD!

 

COLE

MY GOD, NO!

 

COACH

HE'S GONNA KILL HIM, COLE!

 

The crowd boos, but it's more subdued this time, as they're all in fear of what could happen! Bruce holds on tightly to the plastic handles of the bag, making sure that it's fitted tight and no air is getting in. Malibu is frantic, trying to do something to free himself, and Nick Patrick is probably wishing he was never given this assignment, as he's forced to watch Zack Malibu be put near death before his very eyes! With both hands pulling back behind Malibu’s head the air quickly leaves the white bag, much to the horror of everyone in the arena. Bruce loves every second of it, because not only does he inflict a lot of pain on Zack but he doesn’t have to exert a lot of energy doing it, the perfect move for him.

 

MICHAEL COLE

Zack is losing oxygen quickly, and there's not one person who can help him! We can't prevent this from happening!

 

COACH

He’ll have to get out of this himself, or it’s over! COME ON ZACK!!

 

Malibu tries to tear the bag but every time his hands touch the plastic Blank rams a knee into his back preventing Malibu from breaking out of the airtight trap Bruce has caught him in. At one point Blank even gets so cocky that he uses one hand to hold the bag tight while raising the other hand in the air!

 

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

 

The referee looks on in agony as Malibu fades slowly, the horrible image of Malibu sucking the bag into his mouth will stay with most of the fans for a long time.

 

COACH

I… I’m tempted to say that Malibu should quit just to get out of here without permanent injuries.

 

MICHAEL COLE

Coach… He… I’m at a loss for words here.

 

Bruce grins as Malibu sinks to his ass, hands down by his side - he’s only moments away from passing out...but NICK PATRICK HAS SEEN ENOUGH, and wraps his arms around Bruce's arm, prying him away from choking Malibu to death!

 

COLE

What the...NICK PATRICK IS PUTTING A STOP TO THIS!

 

COACH

Can he...can he do that!?

 

Blank let's go, throwing Malibu to the mat, and as soon as he hits Zack rips the bag of his face, desperately gasping for air. Blank's focus is on Nick Patrick, who tells Blank "that's too much!" and stands by his decision to get involved. Bruce, however, is unimpressed with Patrick's mercy, and grabs him by the throat, and THROWS him backwards into the corner! Blank reaches down and picks the spike off the mat from earlier...

 

...AND NOW BRUCE BLANK IS CARVING REFEREE NICK PATRICK OPEN!

 

COLE

STOP IT! YOU'RE SICK, YOU HEAR ME! LEAVE HIM ALONE!

 

Patrick screams loudly as his flesh is ripped open, while Blank loves every second of it. He then drops the referee to the canvas, watching as the blood pools under his head and stains the canvas. Proud of his actions, Blank turns around...

 

...CRACK~!

 

AND IS MET WITH A HARD CHAIR SHOT TO THE SKULL!

 

COLE

COME ON ZACK!

 

Malibu, visibly weak, is barely able to hold the chair up, but swings again, and a second hard shot teeters Bruce, but does not drop him yet! Bruce is dazed, and Malibu lifts the chair again...but when he lifts it just in front of his face, Blank drives a big boot into it, kicking the steel implement of destruction into the face of the OAOAST's poster boy!

 

COLE

DAMN IT!

 

Blank shakes the cobwebs loose, and right now he's the only one standing, as both his rival AND the referee are out due to his bloodlust!

 

COACH

Cole, with Nick Patrick down...how are either of these guys gonna surrender? There's no one to ring the bell!

 

COLE

I don't know how much longer this can go on, Coach...I just don't know!

 

Blank surveys the damage, and then looks up, staring up through the mesh roof and into the rafters above.

 

COLE

What's he looking at?

 

Suddenly, a strand of rope comes through the mesh roof, and is lowered into Blank's grip, causing everyone to look up and see just what's going on.

 

COACH

What the...YO! That's Landon Maddix up there!

 

COLE

What the hell is he doing? What's the meaning of this!?

 

Landon has lowered himself onto the roof of the cage, apparently having been hidden in the rafters this whole time! Bruce looks up and gives a "thumbs up" to the man who is MOST DEFINITELY NOT A WILDCARD, at least that's what he'll tell you. Maddix stands on the roof, making sure this rope is secure, while Blank takes it and WRAPS IT AROUND ZACK MALIBU'S THROAT!!!!!

 

COLE

What the...no...NO! STOP THIS! STOP IT DAMMIT!

 

Blank looks up and gives the go-ahead signal, and Landon pulls on the rope, having it wrapped around a steel beam above the ring...and it's raising Malibu off the canvas!

 

COACH

They're...they're trying to hang him, Cole!

 

Sure enough, Landon continues to pull tighter on the rope, and Malibu's feet come off the canvas! Once he's about a foot off the canvas, Landon secures the rope around the beam, and now Zack Malibu is kicking his legs, trying to free himself from the noose!

 

COLE

This is too much...THIS IS MURDER!

 

Malibu is hanging, being strangled before our very eyes, with not even a referee to show mercy and help him! Screaming and crying, CANDIE comes out from the back, her makeup running due to the tears, as she runs towards the cage.

 

COLE

Candie! Candie, go to the back! Please, go to the back!

 

Desperate to help the man she loves, Candie starts climbing the cage wall...AND BRUCE BLANK WHACKS HER FINGERS WITH HIS BELT, SENDING HER FALLING TO THE FLOOR!

 

COACH

No way, that ain't right!

 

It's a melee now, as Calvin Szechstein, EvenflowDDT, and The Superstar all fight their way through the crowd, trying to rush the ring...but security won't let them! All three plead their case, trying to save Zack...but because they're in attendance as ticket buying fans and not contracted talent, security, no matter what the situation, won't let them budge!

 

COLE

LET THEM GO! FOR GOD'S SAKE, GET SOMEONE TO RELEASE THAT ROPE!

 

ANGLESAULT comes charging out from the back, shoving security aside and getting into it with them. Bruce cackles and Landon smirks from his position atop the cage, as the whole arena, in Zack Malibu's hometown no less, is in chaos while he's being KILLED before our very eyes!

 

COACH

DO SOMETHING, SOMEONE!

 

COLE

He's turning blue...my God Coach he's turning blue!

 

Zack fighting grows less and less, and he starts to go limp, as people desperately try to something to help the OAOAST's favorite son...

 

...AND THAT'S WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT!

 

COLE

What!? What's going on?

 

COACH

I got a feeling this is the last thing we need right now!

 

Within seconds, the lights come back on, and never in your life have you heard a pop like this, as the Providence crowd leaps up and roars when CABOOSE APPEARS ON THE TOP OF THE CAGE!

 

COLE

IT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED, COACH!

 

COACH

CABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE!

 

Maddix panics, and IMMEDIATELY gets cracked in the ribs with a cricket bat shot that causes him to flip over the bat and land on his back! Caboose doesn't bother to pay any more attention, having disposed of Bruce's sidekick, and he races to free Malibu, quickly snapping the rope free from the rafters, and causes Zack to fall to the canvas!

 

COLE

CABOOSE SAVED ZACK! WE HAVEN'T SEEN CABOOSE IN MONTHS, NOT SINCE BRUCE AND THE WILDCARDS TOOK HIM OUT!

 

COACH

Caboose always owed a lot to Zack for saving his career, and now that debt has been paid! Caboose just saved Zack Malibu, baby!

 

Caboose stands watch atop the cage now, and Maddix has nowhere to go. Blank looks up, sneering "you son of a bitch" at Caboose, who looks down and points his cricket bat at the repulsive redneck, and then makes the cut throat motion. Moving on to Plan B, Bruce quickly picks up the steel chair, and starts bringing it down across Zack's back, beating his near lifeless body down with it!

 

ZACK!

ZACK!

ZACK!

 

COLE

Listen to this crowd, these fans...GET UP ZACK!

 

COACH

He can't lose, Cole...after all this, he just can't!

 

ZACK!

ZACK!

ZACK!

 

Candie screams from ringside for Blank to stop, but he taunts her as he slams the chair down across Zack's back.

 

"THIS IS YOUR MAN!?"

 

WHACK~!

 

"THIS IS YOUR HERO!?"

 

WHACK~!?

 

"HE AIN'T NOTHIN'!"

 

Candie pleads for him to stop, having seen enough. Her pleas are heard from her cries, and as Anglesault tries to lure her away from the cage, she pushes away from him, screaming for Zack.

 

"Zack, PLEASE!"

 

Blank walks over to the side of the cage, and again picks up the spike off the mat. With the blood stained implement in his hands, Bruce states that "I'm gonna cut his god damn heart out!" to Candie, who panics even more...although SOMEONE is slowly rising to their feet.

 

COLE

Look at this...LOOK AT THIS...

 

Blank turns around, and when he does, he's SHOCKED, as the fans roar. Covered in blood, having cheated death...

 

...ZACK MALIBU IS ON HIS FEET!

 

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

 

Malibu immediately hits a running kick to the nuts, staggering Blank! He fires off right hands, and then whips Blank to the ropes, picking up the spike in the process...AND NAILS HIM WITH A FLYING FOREARM, JABBING THE SPIKE INTO HIS HEAD! Malibu rolls to his feet, and now picks up the belt once again, and starts whipping away in a frenzy, never letting up!

 

COLE

TAKE IT TO HIM, ZACK! MAKE HIM PAY!

 

Zack picks Blank up, and hurls him into the corner. After Blank collides, Zack comes and wraps the belt around the turnbuckle hook, putting both of Bruce's hands behind him, and fastens the belt around them before tightening it, using it as a makeshift set of handcuffs!

 

COACH

He's got Blank tied up!

 

Blank struggles, and can't move, as his hands are trapped behind him! Malibu goes and retrieves the chair, and hie picks it up, moving towards Blank to lay waist to him...but Bruce kicks Zack in the stomach, then kicks both of his legs off the mat and kicks the chair into Malibu's face!

 

COLE

Son of a...! Zack's weak, we knows he's weak, but he can't let Bruce Blank get the better of him.

 

Blank twists and wriggles, and finally winds up snapping belt buckle from the belt itself, freeing himself from Zack's trap. Noticing Zack trying to get up, Blank hits a soccer style kick to his ribcage, doubling him over, before he again reaches into his pocket.

 

COLE

What the hell's he got...IS THAT A LIGHTER!?

 

To answer Cole's question, it is indeed a lighter, as Blank shows it to the crowd by taking Malibu's OAOAST shirt and SETS FIRE TO IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!

 

COACH

Aw damn...DAMN!

 

COLE

Get up Zack, come on, please!

 

Candie shrieks, which is music to Bruce's ears as he approaches Malibu, who is groggy on the mat...

 

...AND WHO COMES UP WITH A SCHOOL'S OUT OUT OF NOWHERE, DROPPING BRUCE BLANK LIKE A GUNSHOT~!

 

COLE

SCHOOL'S OUT! SCHOOL'S OUT!

 

Malibu quickly crawls for the lighter, as Blank checks to see if his jaw is still in place. Zack can barely move, having exhausted what little energy he had on that superkick, and he and Blank come up to their feet together...

 

FWOOSH~!

 

...AND ZACK THROWS A FIREBALL INTO THE FACE OF BRUCE BLANK~!

 

"YEARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!"

 

Blank screams the loudest anyone's ever heard, as he's met with scorching hot fire, right in the face! Blank goes into shock, kicking his legs and flailing his arms, patting his face and screaming even louder as the flesh melts! Malibu goes over and grabs the now-frantic monster and takes him by the head, leading him towards the wall of the cage...

 

...AND STARTS RAKING HIS BURNING FLESH ON THE WALL OF THE CAGE~!?

 

COACH

Oh man, oh MAN!

 

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

 

Malibu takes it to him, not letting up, as Bruce's blackened flesh starts peeling off, the cage digging through the tender skin and cutting down to bone!

 

"AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHH!"

 

With Nick Patrick down, Anglesault races around to the side of the cage, looking in at the action.

 

"What do you say, Bruce?! Do you give!?"

 

"NNNNNNNNNNNN...NNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGH!"

 

"Come on Bruce, what's it gonna be, yes or no?!"

 

"GAAAAAAH...SONOFAAAAAAAAA...AAAAARGH!"

 

Malibu plants his foot in the back of Bruce's head, forcing his face against the mesh so hard that it leaves an imprint on his singed skin!

 

"IIIII...I SURR...I SURRENDER!"

 

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~!!!"

 

The crowd goes CRAZY, as Malibu falls back to the canvas out of sheer exhaustion, and the bell is called for by Anglesault, marking the end of one of the OAOAST's most brutal encounters.

 

BUFFER

Ladies and gentlemen, your winner of Survive Or Surrender...ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLIBUUUUUUU!

 

Anglesault quickly calls for the cage to be risen, and Caboose scales the wall of the cage, down to the aisleway, leaving Landon Maddix laid out up top. Once the cage is up, Anglesault, Candie, Calvin Szechstein, Evenflow, Supes, Scotty Static and Johnny Jax rush the ring, checking on Malibu, while EMT's rush out for Blank, Malibu, AND poor Nick Patrick.

 

COLE

HE DID IT! ZACK MALIBU SURVIVED, and BRUCE BLANK'S CAREER IS OVER!

 

Candie embraces her bloody boyfriend, holding him tight, while Zack tells her "it's over". Evenflow, Anglesault, Supes, Caboose, and the GPX all watch on as the happy couple share a moment. Zack then turns around and comes face to face with Caboose, and says two simple words that mean more than anything.

 

"Thank you."

 

The friends embrace, and it's a "group hug" type of atmosphere, as the Providence crowd gives Zack a standing ovation for enduring the most torture he ever has.

 

COACH

Bruce Blank is no more! Get him the hell out of here!

 

EMT's load Bruce, still groaning in agony on a stretcher, while in the ring, Anglesault takes the lighter and pulls something out of the inside of his suit jacket.

 

COLE

What the...what's that?

 

AS sets fire to the papers, and as they burn, he throws them at Bruce Blank, who is defenseless on the stretcher.

 

COACH

I think...that was his contract, dawg!

 

Blank, furious, tries to fight off the EMT's, and it's taking a good four of them to hold him down. Noticing this, Static and Jax exit the ring and tell the EMT's to clear the way, as THEY start wheeling Bruce around ringside. They wheel him over to his truck, and both of them look at each other like they have something in store...as they each take an end and lift Bruce off the stretcher...AND TOSS HIM INTO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK~!

 

COLE

Look at this!

 

Static climbs up onto the roof of the truck, while Jax jumps in and starts the truck up, and Malibu's theme music now fades out, as Static claps and leads the crowd in a chant.

 

"NA NA NA NA

NA NA NA NA

HEY HEY HEY

GOOD-BYE!"

 

"NA NA NA NA

NA NA NA NA

HEY HEY HEY

GOOD-BYE!"

 

Jax revs the engine, and then backs the truck up the aisleway, with Bruce Blank bruised, bloody, and burned in the back, helpless to what's going on.

 

COLE

They're taking him out of here! GOOD RIDDANCE!

 

COACH

See ya, and wouldn't wanna be ya, Brucie!

 

Once again, "Getting Away With Murder" hits, and the crowd cheers wildly still, as Malibu is helped from the ring and brought to the back for treatment. He looks around at his fans, all of them applauding his efforts, and he takes relief in knowing that finally, the war that began due to his actions nearly a year ago, is now over.
