Zack Malibu vs. Cuban Wall

[Zack Malibu 0]

"LIGHTNING CREW"

 

Those two words are all it takes for the crowd to be whipped into a collection of catcalls, as "No Chance In Hell" hits, marking the entrance of the resident muscle of the Lightning Crew.

 

BUFFER

Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a non-title match, scheduled for one fall. Coming down the aisle at this time, from Havana, Cuba, and weighing in at two hundred, eighty five pounds, he is the current reigning and defending OAOAST 24/7 Champion...from the Lightning Crew, this is CUUUUUUUUUBAN WAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLL!

 

The big man isn't afraid to tell a few fans where to go, even threatning to whip a boy of maybe 10 with the 24/7 belt! The startled youngster hides behind his father, who is just as intimidated, as the big badass makes his way to the ring, sneering at anyone who dare look him in the eye.

 

COLE

This is a scary, scary man.

 

Wall circles the ring, throwing a few phantom punches and cracking his neck, as "Getting Away With Murder" replaces his theme song, and brings the crowd to their feet!

 

BUFFER

His opponent, hailing from Providence, Rhode Island. He weighs in tonight at two hundred and five pounds...he is the Franchise of the OAOAST, the Modern Day Warrior, ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK MALLLLLLLLLLLIBUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

 

Through the pyro shower steps Zack Malibu, his usual focused self. Zack walks the aisle slowly, approaching the ring to lock up for the very first time with Tha Puerto Rican's hired henchman.

 

COLE

This all came about when Tha Puerto Rican got in Zack Malibu's face backstage last week, and now apparently Cuban Wall wants to make an issue out of it.

 

COACH

As big of a badass as he is, he's got to know that he's in there with "the man", right now. Not to mention Zacky boy ain't been a fountain of happiness lately.

 

COLE

Indeed, the war with Drek Stone is taking its toll on Zack Malibu, and we'll see if any of that serves as a distraction here tonight.

 

Malibu hops up on the apron and slingshots over the ropes into the ring...but just as his feet hit the mat he's taken out with a hard running lariat from Cuban Wall, who wants to get started before the bell rings! Wall then pulls Malibu up, sneering to the crowd before lifting the former World Champion up over his head, pressing him high before throwing him OVER THE ROPES AND DOWN TO THE FLOOR~!

 

COACH

YO~!

 

COLE

The 24/7 Champion is impatient tonight! Zack Malibu hasn't even removed his entrance gear, and he's already been laid out on the ringside floor!

 

Wall moves through the ropes, hopping down to the floor, as referee Charles Robinson tries his best to get him to stay in the ring. Wall rolls his eyes, as if to say that Robinson's crazy if he thinks Wall is gonna listen. The big Cuban pulls Malibu up off the floor, holding him by one arm...and pulls him into a short arm clothesline! He lifts Malibu up again, and this time he whips him across ringside, sending a dazed Malibu crashing into the cold steel of the guardrail!

 

COACH

I bet Drek Stone is LOVING this.

 

Wall charges at his opponent, but Malibu kicks up, planting both of his feet in Wall's chest! Cuban Wall staggers back, as Malibu runs, springs off the ring steps, and nails him with a diving clothesline to the crowd's delight!

 

COLE

He's not loving that, that's for sure!

 

Malibu tears off his hooded vest and throws it down before picking Wall up. He nails the big man with a European uppercut, then connects with a hard chop as well before taking him by the head and rolling him into the ring. Once Malibu hops up on the apron, Robinson frantically calls for the bell, looking to make things official...and just after the bell sounds, Zack springboards into the ring, nailing Cuban Wall with a missle dropkick! The Wall goes down, and Malibu eggs him on to get back up, spitting in the face of danger! As Wall gets up, Malibu rocks him with hard slaps to both sides of his face, then takes him and whips him into the corner before following up with a running clothesline! He takes Wall by the head and runs him out of the corner, looking for a bulldog, but Wall pushes him away! Malibu stops short, then turns around and fires off SCHOOL'S OUT...but Cuban Wall catches Zack's foot and spins him around, grabbing him by the throat and lifting him into a two hand choke before drilling him into the canvas!

 

COLE

He just threw Malibu down like he was nothing!

 

Wall puts the boots to Malibu, then hits the ropes, coming off with his patented big splash on the fallen Malibu...BUT ZACK ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! Wall winds up driving himself into the canvas, coming up short, as Malibu rolls to his feet! Zack immediately sits on Wall's back as he pushes up, nailing him with several hard crossfaces before rushing towards the ropes and coming off with a basement dropkick, right into his face! Wall rolls away, then gets up near the ropes, and Malibu follows suit. He takes Wall by the arm and sends him in, but Wall reverses the whip and sends Zack to the ropes, drilling him with a big boot on the rebound! An elbowdrop onto the fallen prep follows, and so does the first cover of the contest!

 

ONE!

 

T-KICKOUT!

 

COACH

Near fall for the Wall!

 

Wall drags Zack to his feet, and starts pummeling him with soupbone shots all over his upper body before setting him into a standing headscissors, lifting him up for a powerbomb...but Malibu slips out of his grasp and lands on his feet before him! Malibu starts firing off left handed jabs, staggering Cuban Wall more and more with every shot before spinning around and cracking him with a discus clothesline! Malibu then ducks out to the apron, looking over his shoulder to the crowd and nodding to his supporters before leaping onto the top, springboarding off with an elbowdrop down onto Cuban Wall! The impact of the move rattles Wall, as he rolls away from Zack, standing up near the ropes...only to get dumped over the ropes courtesy of a clothesline from Malibu! Wall lands on his feet and shakes off the blow, and pulls Zack out to the floor by his ankles, then rams his back into the hard edge of the apron! Wall walks away from Malibu, still a bit in a fog, while Malibu reels from his brief attack.

 

COLE

Wall bought himself some time here by smashing Zack's back into the ring apron, now we have to see if he can maintain control over Malibu.

 

Wall walks back towards Malibu, holding him by the head as he beats on him with hard forearm shots, then takes him by the waistband and hurls him into the ringsteps, knocking them over! Wall stalks Zack as he struggles to get up, and lifts him off the ground, slamming him on the bottom part of the steel stairs! Malibu howls in pain as Wall picks him up again, but this time Charles Robinson is on his case to take it back into the ring or risk a count-out. Perturbed but yet compliant, Wall tosses Zack back into the ring, then re-enters himself, keeping an eye on his foe. Zack comes up, but gets pulled into a knee, then gets sent into the ropes. Zack bounces back, headed right towards the Wall, who elevates Malibu high into the air before gravity takes its toll and sends Malibu falling down hard to the canvas, face first! Wall hits the ropes and delivers a legdrop to the back of Malibu's head, and rolls him over, covering him once again!

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

KICKOUT!

 

COLE

Malibu gets a shoulder up just in time, but the big man is certainly earning his stripes tonight, putting up a hell of a fight against the OAOAST Original.

 

COACH

Zack knows what it's like to deal with a big man after that war with Blank, but Wall is holdin' it down for the LC!

 

Wall picks Zack up, and scoops him up onto his shoulder. Getting a running start, he rushes towards the corner, but just as he's about to hit snake eyes on Zack, Malibu slips off his shoulder behind his back, and shoves him into the corner! Wall htis and stumbles back, right into a release German Suplex by Zack Malibu!

 

COLE

Zack takes the big man over!

 

With the crowd behind him, Zack comes up to his feet and rests in the corner, watching and waiting as Cuban Wall suffers from the suplex. As he gets up, Zack runs out of the corner and cracks him with a running kneelift, which sends Wall up to a (dazed) vertical base, leaving him open for a spinning wheel kick off the ropes! Zack covers, and Robinson is right there for it!

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

NO!

 

Wall pushes Malibu up off of him, but when he sits up, Zack strikes with a kick across the back, then pulls him to his feet and stuns him with a European uppercut! Wall gets sent to the corner next, but when Malibu runs in, Wall nails him with a back elbow, sending him back pedaling! Malibu looks up just in time to see Wall coming at him with a clothesline, but Zack ducks it and reaches back, dropping the big man with a snap neckbreaker! Wall kicks his legs as he agonizes, holding his head in pain, while Zack again waits for him to get up. As Wall gets up, Zack rushes up behind him, hitting a German Suplex, but this time not letting go! He rolls to his feet, and again, takes Wall over with a German suplex! Another roll-through, but this time Wall elbows out of it! He grabs Zack and pounds on him with forearms again, then takes him up for a vertical suplex...but Zack falls behind him and quickly hits the ANGLE SLAM~! The crowd roars as Wall gets dropped to the canvas, and Zack crawls on top of him for the cover!

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

THR-WAIT! WAIT! VITAMIN X PULLS MALIBU OUT OF THE RING!

 

COACH

YO!

 

COLE

What the...Vitamin X, just saving Wall from what was likely a Malibu victory!

 

The beatdown takes place at ringside, with X working over Malibu while Wall recovers. He throws Malibu back into the ring, and when Wall gets up, it's a 2 on 1 on the popular superstar!

 

COACH

They're beatin' him down, Mikey Cole!

 

COLE

The Lightning Crew, looking to send a message here tonight, and...waitaminute!

 

The crowd roars as JAMIE O'HARA rushes out from the back to make the save! The young Hooligan quickly leaps onto the top rope and springboards into the ring, making a hell of an entrance as he hits a springboard crossbody that takes both Wall and X down! The crowd roars as O'Hara goes to aid Malibu in getting to his feet...but as he does, he's nailed from behind by The Bone Thug!

 

COLE

What, is the WHOLE crew coming out tonight!?

 

Bone Thug takes J-OH down, but Malibu starts firing off right hands to fight back...until he's blasted from behind by Wall! Once again, the numbers work in favor of the LC...until the Metrosexual Monster starts charging down the aisle!

 

COACH

BO!

 

Bohemoth slides into the ring, catching a charging Bone Thug and drilling him with a spinebuster slam! Wall comes forward and the two start trading blows, as Bohemoth has evened the odds...for all of about 30 seconds, as HE gets nailed from behind with a chairshot from THA PUERTO RICAN!

 

COLE

Dammit!

 

The Lightning Crew momentarily celebrate, until the boss tells them to keep working on Malibu, O'Hara, and Bo. The 4 on 3 continues, with Wall pounding on O'Hara, X and Thug trapping Malibu in a corner, and the X Division Champion choking Bohemoth with the edge of the chair! The Crew has the situation going well in their favor, until...

 

...THE LIGHTS GO OUT~!~!~!

 

COACH

Hold me, Mikey!

 

COLE

GET OUT OF MY LAP!

 

The fans buzz, fully knowing that a blackout in wrestling leads to something worth talking about the next day. In this case, the streak continues, as when they come back on, CABOOSE is in the ring, cricket bat in hand!

 

COACH

'BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE!

 

The fans roar as Vitamin X charges, but gets caught with a bat shot to the gut! Cuban Wall comes and gets the bat jabbed in his ribs, then slammed across his back! Bone Thug takes a shot but it's ducked, and Caboose wraps the bat around his throat, then snaps him down with a quick Russian legsweep!

 

COLE

CABOOSE IS TAKING OUT THE LIGHTNING CREW!

 

The last one standing is the leader, and Caboose goes right for him, but Tha Puerto Rican holds the chair up like a shield, blocking the bat shot! He then throws the chair down and bails out of the ring, gathering his wounded troops in the aisleway as Caboose and friends stand tall in the ring!

 

COLE

A one on one match between Zack Malibu and Cuban Wall turned into a frenzy here tonight, and The Lightning Crew has been sent packing!

 

The X-Division Champion and his loyal followers issue threats from the aisleway, but are in no rush to hit the ring and make good on them. Malibu and Caboose shake hands and hug, their friendship one of the longest lasting in the company, as Bohemoth and O'Hara stand on the ropes, begging for the LC to come back. Malibu and Caboose stand side by side with them, and now that the odds are even, what could happen next between these eight men!?
