Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2007 COLE Fans, we are coming up to the big event, the granddaddy of them all, Anglemania, in just over a month's time. As we journey to Anglemania, we do know that one match is ETCHED IN STONE, and that is the World Heavyweight Championship Match pitting the OAOAST World Heavyweight Champion Drek Stone against a man he's been able to dodge for some time, but can no longer. Two men with no respect for each other will do battle for the biggest prize in our company when Zack Malibu, the man synonymous with the OAOAST, takes on a man who cares about nothing and no one except himself. Drek Stone and Zack Malibu will finally meet one on one in the ring, with the gold on the line at Anglemania. COACH It's as big of a dream match as you can get, and after the nightmarish last year, Zack Malibu has a clear focus not only on the championship gold, but on putting Drek Stone in his place once and for all. COLE That's about as much hype as we can give it without going overboard... COACH You mean like that dude who used to sell trading cards? COLE Precisely. With the set-up to his introduction complete, "Getting Away With Murder" hits, and now it's time for one of the participants in the Anglemania main event to add some hype of his own to this evening's HeldDOWN~! COLE Here he comes, the number one contender, and as some would put it, the uncrowned champion of the world! Zack Malibu, looking rejuvenated after finally dispatching of the thorn in his side known as Bruce Blank back at Anglepalooza, comes out to a loud pop, with the fans showing their utmost respect for the longtime favorite. Malibu's not ready for battle tonight (although when has being in street clothes stopped anyone in wrestling from getting into it? Seriously?), but he's definitely got something on his mind, as he takes the mic as soon as he hits the ring. ZACK There's an old saying that says as one door closes, another one opens. That after an end, there is a new beginning, and it seems to me that this company is in desperate need of a new beginning, at least when it comes to the man representing them as champion. "Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!" COLE Strong words from Zack for his rival, and there is no love lost there whatsoever. COACH Neither man has pulled their punches when dealing with the other, so why start now? ZACK Drek Stone, we've given everyone the history lesson. Not a soul out there doesn't know why we don't get along. Let's face it, Drek, you don't care about this company. You use that belt not to represent this company, but to try to better yourself, to try and elevate YOUR status in the world. I've got news for you, that belt doesn't make you, YOU make that belt, and you are devaluing it beyond belief! To you, that gold around your waist is just a prop, a status symbol, but it doesn't MEAN ANYTHING because you don't MAKE IT MEAN ANYTHING! You hold onto it by ducking and running, by avoiding responsibility, by backing out of matches that these people pay to see! You destroy the lineage of that belt, the belt that was made famous, the belt that was put together by the blood, sweat and tears of people like myself, people like Caboose, people like Alfdogg, while guys like YOU, who complain about our status to anyone within earshot, yet don't want to earn your living the way you should! Guys like Sly Sommers, who accuse me of taking advantage of my position to keep guys like you down? Let me tell you all something...YOU'RE the ones keeping yourselves down! You wanna coast by, accusing us of doing it by who we know, not what we know, when all we've done for the last five years is put punks like you in your place! You tried to phase me out before Drek...you even managed to pin my shoulders to the mat, something I'm yet to do to you. I'm telling you, I PROMISE you, that come Anglemania, all those past offenses will be the last thing on our minds at the end of the night, because instead, I'll be holding a belt up high, and the world will know that a TRUE champion is on top of this company once again. (All of a sudden, "The Clap" by The Unicorns starts up, and out walks Sly Sommers with a microphone) SLY Cut the music, cut the music, cut the music... ZACK What the hell do you want? SLY What do I want? Well, you see...every week on TV for the past few weeks, cameras have caught me saying I want a singles bout with you, Zack. I've been begging, I've been pleading, I've even had my little brother, MY FLESH AND BLOOD, fight two men at once because I've been signed to tag matches that I refuse to compete in out of complete and utter protest. I KNOW you'v'e seen all of this, and I know the OAOAST officials have asked you about doing the match for Syndicated so they have some selling point for that show since they know we'd be an Anglemania match that can't happen. But, from the grapevine, word's come down that you don't want to wrestle on that show... ZACK Yeah, I told them I wanted that show off because I'm still aching from that WAR I had at Anglepalooza...you know, that Pay-Per-View I just headlined while you were in the front row? CROWD OOOOOOOOOH! SLY Real big accomplishment, being able to politic your way into the main event of a show you were already semi-headlining! Zack...you main-eventing yet another big Pay-Per-View...what a huge story! Trust me, bro...if I had friends in the front office, I'd do just as much, if not more, than what you've done. I'll be the first to admit bro...you're a hell of an athlete. You're a charismatic force, you're a tough guy. You've been through some battles in your day. But the fact of the matter is, we will never know how far that talent would have gotten you got your boys in the front office, cutting you the deals and givin' you the breaks that no one else here has. Bro, this company's doing great, but it'd be in a hell of a lot better position if you weren't dead-set on keeping yourself as the face of this company... ZACK You gonna get to your damn point anytime soon? SLY Remember when Shago & Predator came through here, tore down the house, and got all that press from the Asian-American media for being role models for young kids here? I wonder why they no longer work here? Remember when the women's division was all the rage and that Jenny Adams chick was set to do that big talk show run? She got yanked off of it to do the B-team house show run, and guess who took her place on Leno? (Points at Zack) Most importantly, and the reason why I'm on my crusade...remember when I was getting that big run on TV and you got your way into the Thrillogy because Hoff & Calvin were getting more over than you at the arenas? Remember when we had the big match on Pay-Per-View and even after you beat me fair and square, albeit in a match I almost own, you had to play your games and make sure I was shipped right down the card so you could get Crystal in the mains since you knew that by wrestling a girl, you could get in all the newspapers and magazines. Wrestling me night in and night out, almost losing every night...you knew that all it took was three seconds, and I'd have your spot like THAT (snaps). ZACK Listen bud, I know I've been power-hungry in the past and I know that I made some immoral moves, and I went through that period where I couldn't look myself in the mirror...but I mended those wrongs. I cut off my ties and I worked my way back up to this spot! SLY You just don't get it, do you? I know you got tight with the fans again and convinced them you're a good guy and everything's all swell on that front, but I can look in your eyes and see the same Zack Malibu...I see the guy who put me through unrightful hell in training, makin' me sleep in your basement and spend thousands of dollars because you didn't want to spend a dime on the road while you were training me. I see the guy who buried me to management when I tried making my way in here. I see the guy who, even after I worked my way to the main event, got me out of that scene and blackballed out of the company! Dude, I went through a period where I was paranoid...I couldn't walk into a locker room without having a small panic attack. You screwing with me got to the point where I was relying on a bottle and some unnatural substances to get me through the day. It got to the point that I was working an indy show in Iowa on loan from the company, and I almost let a man molest me to get a vial of something I'm not even going to mention on the air. I went to rehab two days after that...something clicked within me. I HAD to change. After I got out of rehab, I went to Japan. Figured hey...change of scenery would get my head on straight. I had success...I held gold there. But, I still had something wrong. I tried diagnoising it myself, and all I can come up with is that I have the Malibu Virus...I HAVE to fight you one more time before I can get rid of this. Zack...in order for me to get well, I've got to find out once and for all who the better man is. I've got to either take this all out on your face and leave you laying, or I've got to take my beating like a man. ZACK Listen...hearing stories like this really sucks, man. But, fact of the matter is, I've got the World Title on my mind...I've got Drek on the brain. Fighting you is going to do nothing for me. SLY Zack, please...I don't know what buttons to push or what wires to pull to set you off, but I NEED to fight you. I don't need to wrestle you. I need all rules waived, I need there just to be a referee to decide who the official winner is. I need you and me in a ring, battling. PLEASE, give me this match at Syndicated! I don't want to, but if I have to, I will HAUNT you until you get to Anglemania, and make sure Drek leaves as World Champion, if you don't fight me... ZACK Fine, fine. I don't need any distractions on the road to getting the World Title...you and me, No Holds Barred, Syndicated? You got it! CROWD YAAAAAAY! SLY Thank you, and I promise...I'm bringing my A-Game, so you better bring yours. ZACK Trust me...I ain't coming to do anything but fight that night, buddy. COLE Did you hear that? MALIBU! SOMMERS! NO DISQUALIFICATION! SYNDICAAAAAAAATED!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
