Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2007 (edited) "Getting Away With Murder" hits just as the clock hits (insert HeldDOWN~! posting time here), and the fans ERUPT as the OAOAST looks to start this post-School's Out edition of HeldDOWN~! off with a bang! COLE Welcome fans, to HeldDOWN~! I'm Michael Cole, alongside the Coach, and we are now welcoming the NEW World Heavyweight Champion! Zack steps out onto the ramp, dressed casually rather than for battle, with the OAOAST World Title slung over his shoulder. As the pyro showers down over him, Zack takes the belt in his hands and raises it over his head, drawing another loud reaction from the OAOAST fanbase before heading to the ring. COACH Back where it belongs, baby! Zack walks to the ring, slapping some eager fans' hands as he makes his way, and then hops into the ring to get a handshake, and the microphone, from Michael Buffer. The music fades out, but the crowd response does not, as they're more vocal than ever, chanting for their hero. "THANK YOU ZACK!" "THANK YOU ZACK!" "THANK YOU ZACK!" COLE Listen to the fans, Coach! They're thanking Zack for becoming World Champion once again! The honor and prestige of the OAOAST World Championship has now been restored! MALIBU Thank you! Thank you all. All I have to say is one thing...the OAOAST World Heavyweight Championship is HOME! *crowd pops* MALIBU Now, I don't mean home just because it's around my waist again, although that's the best feeling in the world. I mean home because this belt once again signifies the honor, the commitment, the work ethic of not only myself, but for everyone standing behind that curtain right now. Whether they're my friend or my enemy, the people in that locker room back there give one hundred and ten percent each and every time they set foot out here, and they do it for YOU! So you should be thanking them, thank them for making the OAOAST what it is! What Drek Stone tried to do to this company, to this belt...he tried to destroy the honor and integrity of this company...he tried to destroy our morale, to tear us apart from the inside, and now, Drek Stone, YOU'RE the one on the outside looking in! You're a footnote, a memory, a bad turn of events that we're putting behind us now, because Zack Malibu is ONCE AGAIN the OAOAST World Champion! A FIGHTING World Champion. An HONORABLE World Champion. I won this belt for the guys in the back that bust their asses day in and day out. I'm not going to run from responsibility. I'm not going to milk my time at the top. I EARNED it, and I'm going to be a fighting champion for all those who have earned their spots. Guys like Bohemoth and Leon Rodez and Tha Puerto Rican and... "REACH OUT AND TOUCH FAITH" COLE What!? COACH I think Zacky forgot one! All heads turn to the entrance way, Zack's included, as "Personal Jesus" by Marilyn Manson powers through the audio system. Hands on hips, annoyed at the interruption, Zack glares as eventually the doors part and the boos ring out for Landon "La Cucaracha" Maddix as he emerges onto the stage! Maddix tilts his head to the side as he stares into the crowd, feigning hurt that the crowd mercilessly boo his mere appearance before giving them a very clear 'up yours'. As Landon then makes his way towards the ring, we see Megan Skye following, proudly clutching the Money In The Bank contract in her hand. COACH Baton down the hatches Mikey! It looks like it's time to take this one to the bank! COLE That's a terrible pun. COACH Hey, that's what they pay me for. Into the ring climbs Landon, opening up his fancy Real Madrid training tracksuit top and flaunting the SWF World Heavyweight Title around his waist. Landon then enters the ring, motioning for Zack to calm down as he asks for a microphone from the floor. "LAN - DON SUCKS!" "LAN - DON SUCKS!" "LAN - DON SUCKS!" "LAN - DON SUCKS!" Landon waits for a little decorum, Zack looking at him through narrow eyelids waiting for him to start talking. Neither seems to have much patience. MADDIX Well well, long-time no-see everyone! Glad to see you've all missed me so much in my absence. (rolls eyes) Anyway, thankfully, the absence is over. The waiting is over and Landon Maddix has returned... and for that, you all have this man to thank! Landon points to Zack, who's growing more and more impatient by the second. MADDIX I sense an air of relief around here all of a sudden. An air that's been missing recently from what I've seen. I've been paying close attention you see. Well, to the parts that matter that is. Not all of these Dancing Dragons and Environmental Activists and that crap, but the top of the mountain. The OAOAST World Heavyweight Title situation. And finally, the doom-clouds have moved away from the OAOAST. Because finally, the World Title has returned! Finally, there's a World Champion that... well, let's just say, finally there's a World Champion. Period. I may not like you Zack, but at least you exist. COLE Good point. MADDIX Now, as I'm sure you're all aware, I happen to be the SWF World Heavyweight Champion. Still. "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" MADDIX So here we are, two World Champions, live on HeldDOWN~! A perfect opportunity fo... ZACK Look, is this going anywhere? Cut off in his stride, Landon glares at Zack. MADDIX Haven't you ever heard of the saying, "You don't rush greatness"? "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" MADDIX Yes, this is going somewhere Zack. You see, I've been over at the SWF, defending my title. Biding my time. Waiting, a little impatiently I might add, for the OAOAST's World Champion to show his face. Because, way back at AngleMania, I became "Dinero Del Señor En El Banco!" Or, for all of you gormless wonders sitting there with blank looks on your faces, "Mr. Money In The Bank". Megan, show them the contract. Doing her best 'Price Is Right extra' impression, Megan shows off the humble sheet of paper, with Landon adding the staged 'ohhs' and 'aahs' for posterity. MADDIX This guarantees me a shot at that OAOAST World Title whenever I so desire. And as I've been waiting to tell the holder of that belt for months now, I don't intend on sitting on this contract. I'm certainly not going to hang onto it until the last possible quarter of an hour of the contract's life to cash in like you did, oh no. The past month, I've been forced to sit on this thing because YOU didn't get the job done at AngleMania and the supposed World Champion didn't know how to combine wrestling stardom and mainstream popularity, like a certain SWF Champion not a million miles away. Well, I'm officially putting you on notice. Winning the OAOAST Title is my ticket to immortality. And it's a ticket I'm anxious to get... ZACK SO DO IT ALREADY!! "YYYYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!" ZACK You're here, I'm here, we've got about a dozen referees in the back. You think you're frustrated with Drek not being around!? This title is MY legacy! MY ticket to immortality! And I'm not going to sit on this anymore than you're sitting on your contract. So, if you want me... Suddenly, Zack pulls off his t-shirt, sending the paramedics into 'high hysteria alert'. ZACK ...then I'm not hard to find! COLE Alright, here we go! COACH They're not seriously going to do this now, are they!? It certainly seems Zack is ready to go, dropping his microphone and encouraging Landon on... ...as he shakes his head. MADDIX Easy Rambo. We all know you're feeling high and mighty now you're the conquering hero of the OAOAST. But I think you've misread this situation. I mean... I'm ready and willing to cash this contract in, but... not TONIGHT. "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" MADDIX Come on Zack, you're not wet behind the ears when it comes to this World Title lark. You know as well as I do, me cashing this title in tonight is going to stop ol' AngleSault from cashing in big buyrates. No no, if I'm cashing this Money In The Bank in, I'm doing it when it's worth the most to me. "ZACK!" "ZACK!" "ZACK!" "ZACK!" Over comes Megan, whispering something in Landon's ear. A big smile creeps over his face which he tries to wipe quickly, trying to put his poker face on as he stares Zack down again. MADDIX How about this Zack? How about, you and me, on the big stage? ZACK And what do you mean by that? MADDIX What I mean is, if you're really the fighting champion you're pledging to be, then I'm challenging you to prove it. I'm challenging you to defend that title against me at The Great Angle Bash! I'm cha... ZACK You're ON! "YYYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!" COLE Woah! No hesitation whatsoever from Zack! Landon's smile re-appears as he and Megan exchange a look. Zack looks confused for a second, but shakes it off. MADDIX So, I take it you're accepting? ZACK Damn right! You want a shot, you've got it! MADDIX Well, that's all I needed to hear! You, me, D.C, I'll see you then. Probably best we leave the handshake for now. I'm more than happy to take you on your word... HAHA! Landon drops the mic and off he and Megan go, drawing another confused look from Zack. The SWF's Power Couple stroll off arm in arm looking mighty pleased with how that all went, not concerned that "Getting Away With Murder" has started up to allow Malibu to soak up a little more of his moment. COLE What a way to kick off HeldDOWN~! and what an announcement that is. First time ever, Zack Malibu one on one with Landon Maddix, live from our nation's capital at The Great Angle Bash 2007. We'll be back with more HeldDOWN~!, after these messages! Edited May 31, 2007 by King Cucaracha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
