HD: Bo/Zack segment

[King Cucaracha 0]

COLE
AngleMania certainly lived up to the expectations and the hype and if you weren't with us live... well, I really don't know what to tell you. You missed one of the greatest events in OAOAST history and nothing could possibly have been more important. But, if you did miss it, replays will be airing this Sunday and into the beginning of next week. Check your local pay per view listings for more information on how to relive the magic of AngleMania VII.

"YYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!"
("BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!")

COLE
And speaking of AngleMania, here comes a man who picked up the biggest victory of his life!

Marching out, Bohemoth is met largely by the cheers of his fans but with a surprising amount of boos mixed in from some sections in San Diego. Wearing a crisp white suit and his orange-tinted sunglasses, Bohemoth looks every inch the star as he walks to the ring with very little reaction to the boos or the cheers. Bo jogs up the ring steps and enters the ring, scaling the turnbuckles and raising his arms overhead... to another slightly mixed reaction.

COLE
Bohemoth came out on top in one of the finest matches in AngleMania history in my opinion, against Zack Malibu, this past Sunday night. And even if you did see it live, it's worth catching the replay just for another viewing. They left it ALL that ring at AngleMania VII!

COACH
Yeah, but what everyone's talking about is how Bohemoth left the ring, namely without shaking the hand of Zack Malibu.

COLE
Well Bohemoth, perhaps with an explanation for us here tonight.

"BO - HE - MOTH!"
"BO - HE - MOTH!"
"BO - HE - MOTH!"
"BO - HE - MOTH!"

Bo holds his hand up and calls for some quiet, the cheers dying out a little before the boos do which seems to get his attention. He just chuckles a little under breath at them though.

BOHEMOTH
Man, I guess I should have expected that, huh? You know, last Sunday night, I went into the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum as the underdog. That's not something I'm used to, being 6-7, 285 as I am. Zack Malibu has got a hell of a record at AngleMania. And I knew I'd be in for the match of my life to keep up with him and I'll be damned if that isn't exactly what happened. Me and Zack, we tore each other apart. And in the end, I managed to put him down for the 1, 2, 3 and have my hand raised in victory in front of 90 something thousand people!

"YYYEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
("BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!")

BOHEMOTH
But you see, unfortunately, that's not where it ended between me and Zack.

Bo shakes his head.

BOHEMOTH
After the fight of my life, I looked out into those 90 something thousand and they were up cheering for me. I gotta tell you, it felt great. Then, I see a couple of fans looking behind me. And more and more, looking past me. So I get down, turn around and I see Zack Malibu back up and extending his hand to me. No wonder they weren't looking at me anymore.

Bohemoth removes his orange-tinted sunglasses, placing them in the front pocket of his jacket.

BOHEMOTH
All week, I've heard one question from every fan, every cab driver, every baggage handler at the airport, every hotel receptionist. That one question wasn't "How did it feel to win at AngleMania, Bo?" No, it was "Why didn't you shake Zack Malibu's hand, Bo?"

"ZACK!"
"ZACK!"
"ZACK!"
"ZACK!"

BOHEMOTH
All I've heard is Zack, Zack, Zack. For one brief moment at AngleMania, I was on top. We went out, we had a great, fairly fought match and I came out on top. Now, suddenly, I'M the bad guy and all anybody wants to do is sympathise with Malibu. You wanna know why I didn't shake Zack Malibu's hand? Well, why should I? That was MY moment. AngleMania VII should have gone down as the night that the Bohemoth was finally unleashed on the OAOAST. I didn't want my AngleMania to be remembered for a HANDSHAKE! But, ya see, Zack Malibu did. Rather than have people remember the fact he got beat, he'd rather you all remember that he was the 'bigger man' to offer his hand to me.

Bohemoth scowls a little, as the reaction in the crowd is hard to gauge.

BOHEMOTH
See, the fact is, I didn't want Zack to steal my moment. People wanna say that I disrespected him? So be it. But the way I see it, HE disrespected ME by not getting the hell out of the ring and giving me my moment. So if anyone's the 'bad gu...


.:CUE: "Getting Away With Murder", Papa Roach:.

"YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!"

COLE
Uh-oh!

COACH
Oh great! Here comes Zack, to steal another moment.

Looking more than a little offended at what he's heard out of Bohemoth, Zack Malibu storms to the ring ready to tell his side of the story. Zack slides in and marches right past Bohemoth, giving him the stink-eye as he passes. Grabbing his own microphone, Zack then whips around and instantly sticks the finger in the face, drawing some "ooohs" from the fans.

ZACK
First of all, let's cut the crap of pinning the blame on me here, because you can ask anyone, I'm not [i]that[/i] guy! Not in the slightest!

Zack paces around a little, wiping a hand across his face.

ZACK
See, I'm not angry. I'm DISAPPOINTED. I'm disappointed in you Bo. We've been going at it, back and forth since November now and I really thought AngleMania was going to be the end of it. We'd finally get to settle it in the ring, one on one. That's exactly what we did and I'm man enough to admit you beat me. But then you went and pissed it all away but snubbing my handshake. You can say different, but me offering my hand wasn't one of those 'mind-games' that we've been playing with each other these past few months. It was what it was. Respect. Talk about your 'AngleMania moment'. Say what you want, YOU tarnished that moment, by not showing me the respect...

BOHEMOTH
NO! NO NO! You listen Zack, that's the point. AngleMania shouldn't have been ABOUT [b]YOU[/b]!

Cut off, Zack stares up at Bohemoth.

BOHEMOTH
You talk about respect, on and on. But you know deep down that I respect you and everything you've accomplished, way before we ever stepped into that ring in Los Angeles. AngleMania wasn't about 'earning' your handshake. Believe it or not, that 'tremendous honour' doesn't mean all that much to me. It was about earning the victory over you. And I did that. If you wanted to show me this respect, you could have done it in the back, tonight. Unless it wasn't really about respect and it was about you, as usu...

ZACK
HEY! You know what, you're right. Maybe it isn't about respect anymore. Maybe, now, it's just about you and me!

Zack takes a step closer to Bohemoth and it threatens to break down for a second.

ZACK
Since you didn't want my respect at AngleMania... well, I guess now you've got my attention instead. So, maybe if I can't get your respect, maybe I'll have to BEAT it out of you!!

"OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

COLE
Oh my!

Bohemoth glares back at Zack for what seems like an eternity but is only really a few seconds, before he lifts his microphone back up to his mouth.

BOHEMOTH
You know, I don't know what makes you think you could do that, seeing as you couldn't even manage it at 'your event'...

"OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH!"

BOHEMOTH
...but, you're more than welcome to TRY, anytime!

COLE
Oh man, I think we've just had a challenge laid out right here!

Zack and Bohemoth continue to stare each other down with the microphones now down at the sides and the words now exchanged between them and them alone. The San Diego crowd do their best to egg the two men on to settle their differences right now. But it looks like it's just the words being exchanged for now though, as we fade off to commercial.
