Zack Malibu and Josh Matthews, the dynamic duo

[Zack Malibu 0]

JOSH

Ladies and gentlemen, right now it's my pleasure to bring in the number one contender to the OAOAST World Heavyweight Title, Zack Malibu!

 

The distant sound of a crowd pop is heard, as Malibu steps into the shot, next to his old buddy J. Math.

 

JOSH

Zack, last week you stormed onto the scene during the contract signing once Anglesault revealed that you were due your rightful rematch against Landon Maddix. Now that the Angleslam main event has officially been made into a three way dance, what are your thoughts on the subject?

 

MALIBU

It's twofold, Josh. First off, I get a chance, inside Madison Square Garden no less, to recapture the World Title and gain a measure of revenge on Landon Maddix. Secondly, it gives me a chance to eliminate another problem within the OAOAST, The Lightning Crew. See, I know what it's like to be a target. Having earned my reputation by fighting my way to the top, having been the World Heavyweight Champion, I know what it's like when someone tries to make a name for themselves at your expense. Tha Puerto Rican and The Lightning Crew seemed to think lately that they could get a rub from coming after me, and Landon? Landon, I'll give you some credit...you took advantage of a situation you were rightfully entitled too, BUT, when it comes to face to face challenges, your spine melts. When you don't have Todd Cortez or The South Central Millitia or whoever else you suck up to on a given week, you back down. You and PRL, you both surround yourselves with these allies, these "friends" of yours, when the truth is that the both of you back yourselves into a corner so often that you need them to help pull you out. At Angleslam, I know the odds are against me. I know I'm up against two of the most hated men on the roster. I know I'm up against two men that want to take me out and get the credit for it. I know that my Angleslam track record isn't the greatest. I also know that I'm not treating this as just a shot at the title, oh no. This is redemption for Zack Malibu. This is about reclaiming the World Title, and gaining, by FORCE, the respect of two men who show an incredible lack of it. Landon, you should have learned from your old friend Bruce Blank what it means to go to the lengths that you did...because if I came back after the hell that man put me through, did you think some cracked ribs would make me fear you? Puerto Rican, did you think that by making your lackeys do some dirty work that it'd make me fear you any more? If anything, I respect you even less, because you hide behind the army you created, yet reap the benefits. You're hardly a leader, and Landon Maddix, you're hardly a champion. Come Angleslam, if not sooner, the cold hard truth is gonna come and smack you both in the face, likely in the form of my size 11 boot, get me?

 

JOSH

Sounds like you're prepared to make a statement at Angleslam, Zack. Tonight though, it seems that Tha Puerto Rican hopes to cut you off at the pass, because you're facing one of his closest allies in Vitamin X, a man who holds victories over some of your fellow OAOAST Originals.

 

MALIBU

That's exactly what I'm talking about, Josh. Tha Puerto Rican and Landon Maddix think they have this endless supply of curveballs they can throw my way. I'll take on Vitamin X tonight, then probably Cuban Wall next week, and Todd Cortez the week after that...I wouldn't be surprised if Landon has Megan get in the ring with me! The fact of the matter is this, and it's what I've been saying my whole career...I WELCOME these obstacles. Vitamin X wants me in the ring tonight, he's got me. Anyone else wants to take a shot, so be it. I've been a moving target for the past five years, so if PRL or Maddix think this is something new, they're sorely mistaken. Until there isn't a breath left in this body, I'm gonna keep coming at them.

 

Matthews looks slightly concerned, yet impressed at Malibu's brutal honesty. Malibu then gives his old running buddy a pat on the shoulder and walks off, leaving the audience (and his two upcoming opponents) to let his words sink in.
