Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2008 We now interrupt this program for the first installment of a new OAOAST series: OAOAST BELL TO BELL Josh Matthews steps into camera range, in what looks like an empty studio back at the OAOAST Corporate Office. Only an OAOAST Logo sign on the wall and a high-def television monitor are Josh's company, as he takes center stage. JOSH Welcome, everyone, to the first installment of OAOAST Bell To Bell. In just about a week's time, two of the OAOAST's most popular athletes will lock up in singles action. What started as a friendly bet to build up the competitive spirit in both of these individuals has erupted into a feud for the ages. The chase to capture the World Heavyweight Championship has now wound up pitting these one-time friends against each other. On one side of the feud is a man who commands respect, and is held in the highest regard here in the OAOAST. On the other, a man who feels he's earned his stripes, and craves the type of respect that his rival has come to earn. At Anglemania VII, Zack Malibu and Bohemoth will go one on one for the first time ever, battling not for any championships, but simply for the chance to soon compete for the coveted OAOAST World Title, and more importantly, each other's respect. Tonight, we talk with both men, as well as take a look at how they're preparing for this highly anticipated matchup. (We now segue into HIGHLIGHTS~!, starting off with November Reign 2007's Triple Cage Match) *Holding PRL by the back of the head, Bohemoth rams him face-first into the wall of the cage again. The bigman then targets Popick again, manhandling the World Champion and sending him into a meeting with the steel as well. With both his opponents down, Bo then goes back to his original plans and grabs the boltcutters from off of the steel floor, ready to unlock the door out of Cage 2... *CLUNK!* ...AND WALKS RIGHT INTO SCHOOL'S OUT, THE BOLTCUTTERS KICKED RIGHT BACK INTO HIS FACE!!!!!!* (cut to Bohemoth on screen) BO That's where it all kicked off. I'm not saying that to be cute, but that's where it all started. I was finally showcased, finally had the chance to become the represenative of this company, and I had it taken away from me when Zack knocked me cold. JOSH (off-screen) So you hold Zack responsible for not being World Champion right now? BO Partially. I don't think Zack has held me down, and he's never really been in my way until now. I think that things have happened where I've been distracted, and that Zack woke me up to those issues, but it took him knocking me out cold for me to wake up. (cut to Zack Malibu on-screen) ZACK Bo had always been...there. That's the only way to put it. When he broke off from Christian Wright he could have shot to the top, but he got distracted. He'll tell you that himself. When we were in that cage match he was a force, man. He could have torn that cage apart from the ground up and let that belt fall into his hands, but he lacked that spark. That driving force. That's the missing piece to the puzzle. He has all the tools, but it always seemed like he was on cruise control instead of putting his foot on the gas. BO I don't really feel as though I've coasted during my tenure thus far...I just think that certain opportunities never came about, or that maybe I truly didn't earn them. JOSH Why do you think you didn't earn them? Lack of strong competition? The feeling you weren't ready to take advantage of opportunities like title shots? BO I don't think that it was anything like that, just simply that the cards never fell in my favor until recently, and now that they have... JOSH ...now you have a former World Champion breathing down your neck. BO (chuckles) Yeah, I do...and that's the strongest competition you can get here in the OAOAST. ZACK Bo knows...he knows that he's this close to the World Title. He's on the run of his life right now, but if thinks I'm going to be some pushover, some steppingstone, well, look at all the other guys who thought that way. Even Bruce Blank, he made himself by being the most physical, most intimidating guy I ever went up against, got retired by me. Now that was a personal vendetta, and I'm not out to end Bo's career, but c'mon...it's a known fact I'm at my best when the odds aren't in my favor. When my back is against the wall, I don't go down without the fight of my life. BO It's funny that Zack mentioned the Blank feud, because that's exactly why he's the underdog in our match. Those personal feuds like that one, or the one with Popick, or the one with...well, that guy's not important but you know who I mean...they were personal. Heated blood feuds, with a lot of venom behind their actions. Zack and I aren't seeing eye to eye these days, but I'm not a guy out to cripple him or maim him or stalk his family, and he knows that. That's going to be his downfall, because if he's not coming after me with one hundred and ten percent, he's gonna fail. ZACK Bo thinks that because this feud wasn't built out of vengeance or hatred that I'm going to be a pushover? It might not be about crippling and maiming, but it's still about respect. Bo sometimes acts like things should have been handed to him, and the only thing that's going to be handed to him is a beating on March 30th. BO He talks tough, but when he's the one looking up at the lights at Anglemania, he's gonna have to eat those words. ZACK I know what he wants. I know he wants the World Title. He keeps going on the way he's been going and he'll have earned it. Unfortunately, that's not going to be the case, because now he has to go through me. He thinks it's going to be easy? I'll give him the phone numbers of all the guys who thought the same thing. Hell, the World Champion right now is one of them! BO Keep talking about the past, Zack. If you're comparing me to any of your old foes, that's another mistake, because I'm nothing like them. ZACK You're exactly like them, Bo, because you're going to find out the hard way that challenging Zack Malibu isn't a way up the ladder, it's a way back down to Earth. *FADE OUT* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
