Zack vs. Bo II

[Zack Malibu 0]

The moment the bell sounds, the action starts, as Malibu strikes hard and fast with a forearm across Bo's jaw! The big man is then reined in by Malibu and nailed with a pair of European uppercuts, making him woozy while Zack bounces off the ropes...and runs right into a hard lariat! Bo drags Zack up and pounds on him, clubbing him across the back and then shoving him backwards into the corner, then crushing him with another lariat in the corner! Zack then gets led out and shot into the ropes, and the next thing he knows he's airborne, as Bo presses him up into the air...but as Zack falls back to earth, he manages to hit Bo with a dropkick that sends him staggering back! Bo charges, and Zack carries him over with a hiptoss. Malibu goes for an elbow but comes up short, and when Bo rolls to his feet he tries the same tactic, getting the same result in the process. Both men are now up on their feet, burning a hole through one another as they circle, with the noise of an enthusiastic crowd fueling both their rage!

 

COLE

Nothing was solved at Anglemania, and nothing has been solved here in the early going. These are two men with one thing in common...they want to beat the other one senseless!

 

The two lock up, and Bo grabs a headlock, but Malibu slides out easily and grabs a rear waistlock. Bo has a good laugh at that, as Malibu can't budge the big bruiser. Bohemoth tears Malibu's hands off his waist, then snapmares him over and slaps him across the back of the head, drawing a mix of "Ooooh's" and "Boooo's" from the crowd!

 

COACH

Ooooh DAMN, if Malibu felt disrespected at Anglemania, I wonder how he feels after that!

 

Zack rolls to his feet, while Bo smirks at him and waves him on. Not one to be toyed with, Zack moves forward and ties up with Bo, but gets thrown off rather handily by the Metrosexual Monster. Zack charges again, trying to tackle Bo down, but the big man stays grounded, and hammers Zack across the back before gutwrenching him up off the mat! Zack manages to slide down his back, then spins Bo around to deliver a kick to the gut and suplex him to the canvas! Zack rolls through the move, bringing Bo up to his feet, and then traps his arms in a butterfly lock, then starts driving knees into the pimptastic superstar! After that, Zack fireman carries Bo to the canvas, then hits the ropes and delivers a basement dropkick to Bo as he sits up, then tries for a cover on his rival!

 

ONE!

 

KICKOUT!

 

COLE

Great burst of offense by Malibu, but Bohemoth isn't going to go down that easily!

 

Zack traps Bo in a facelock as he gets up, but the big man powers forward and tries to back Zack into the corner...but Malibu breaks the hold and shoves Bo chest first into the turnbuckles, then takes him to the mat with a waistlock! Bo pushes up on all fours, but Zack stands over him, then drops down onto his lower back, then delivers a few hard crossface shots before pulling Bo to his feet and jarring him with a Russian legsweep! Zack rolls through that move as well, then struggles to get an armbar, but Bo fights it, desperately looking to pull his arm away. Zack struggles to lock in the hold, but Bo rolls onto his side and grabs Zack's throat with his free hand, using that as leverage to make Zack let him get to his feet! Bo comes up, glaring at Zack as he holds him by the neck, and then he picks up Malibu and throws him into the corner! Bo then charges in and drives the air out of Malibu with a running shoulderblock, and as Zack reels from that, Bo slaps him hard across the face, then goes back to driving his shoulder into his ribcage! Zack then gets sent to the far side, and Bo follows, hitting a running shoulderblock that crumples Zack down in the corner! Zack holds his ribs as he's led to his feet, then hoisted up onto Bo's shoulder and run back across the ring, to the corner he was just beaten in, and dropped across the top turnbuckle with a snake eyes, leaving him staggered as Bo hits the ropes and hits a rabbit lariat with such force that Malibu falls through the ropes, out to the ringside floor~!

 

COLE

That power advantage coming into play once again right there! That man makes even the most common wrestling moves into killers, just because of the sheer intensity and strength behind them!

 

COACH

Not to mention that Bo has gained a bit of a mean streak since Anglemania, Mikey Cole. That power advantage and that mental toughness, being more carefree about what he does in that ring and who he's doing it to...that's gonna be tough to combat!

 

Bo hops out of the ring and grabs Zack off the floor, but Malibu, ever the opportunist, shows that he wasn't hurt as bad as he let on! Knocking Bo's hands away, Malibu opens fire with a flurry of open hand slaps, wailing on Bo before using a ROARING ELBOW~!...that hits elbow, as Bo puts his arm up to block, then hoists Malibu off his feet and runs across ringside with him, ramming his back into the guardrail! Zack winces, as Bo lifts Zack up and drapes him over his shoulder, carrying him towards the ring...and then slamming his back into the edge of the apron! Zack then gets rolled in by Bo, who gets up on the apron and scowls at the crowd who begin to shower him with boos. Bo then casually gets back into the ring as if he doesn't hear the crowd reaction, and simply picks Zack up and drops him with a backbreaker!

 

COLE

Bohemoth has zeroed in on a body-part now, the back of Zack Malibu. And we know how much of the bigman's offence involves picking you up and throwing you around.

 

COACH

I think it's a little more involved than that.

 

Right on cue, Bohemoth picks Zack up and throws him back down with a bodyslam. Off the ropes, Bo follows up with high elevation on an elbow drop and hooks a leg...

 

 

ONE!

 

 

 

TWO!

 

 

 

No!

 

Trying to get off the canvas, Zack strikes back at Bo with an open handed chop to the chest while shuffling towards the ropes. Stomps to the lower back prevent Zack from getting there. Bo stalks right after Zack as he starts crawling again, this time dropping down with a knee. Pinning the knee in the back, Bohemoth reaches back and pulls back on the chin to trap Malibu in a submission predicament. No submission just yet from Zack though despite the 284 pounds on his back preventing him from reaching the ropes.

 

COLE

This is what we didn't really see from Bohemoth at AngleMania, taking Malibu down and controlling him in these sort of positions. With the size advantage Bohemoth can really wear The Franchise down by forcing him to carry his body weight like this.

 

Zack summons up the energy to twist and squirm from underneath the knee in the back, left in the chinlock but able to get a hand on the bottom rope. Bohemoth breaks cleanly when required, but drops a big elbow across the back before Zack can get to his feet. Another elbow is dropped before Bo drags Malibu away from the ropes and into the centre of the ring. Bo stands over Zack's back and bends down to apply a camel clutch. Out through the legs shuffles Zack however. With Bo momentary lost, Zack reaches up and pulls the bigman down with a surprise roll-up!

 

ONE!

 

 

 

TWO!

 

 

No!

 

First to his feet, Bo takes a short run-up and just SLAMS the flat of his boot into the side of Zack's face!

 

COLE

OH! Point blank, boot right to the jaw!

 

COACH

And that'll cut Zack's fightback off in it's tracks.

 

Bohemoth reaches down and picks Zack up off the canvas. Scooping him into his arms with impressive ease, the monster from Greenville does a couple of curls with his opponent to show off his strength before he drops him down across a knee with a backbreaker. Keeping Malibu draped over the knee Bo then presses down on the jaw and the knee to continue the back breaking process. Again no submission from Zack, but plenty of shouts of pain as he's bent down across the knee. Bo raises an arm and clubs Zack in his exposed stomach with a forearm. And as Zack wags his finger 'no' again, he gets another forearm. Zack surprises him by lifting his free leg up and cracking him in the face with a knee though! Bo pushes right back down on the backbreaker, but Zack throws a second knee! And a third, dazing Bo and allowing Zack to turn over on top with a pin!

 

ONE!

 

 

 

TWO!

 

 

No!

 

Shaken up, Bo gets back up and swings with a clothesline. Zack weaves underneath though, hooking hold of Bo by the head trying to apply a sleeper. Before he can drop, Bo goes into reverse and crushes Malibu in the turnbuckles to force him off. Bohemoth backs up again and crushes Zack in for a second time. Bo then watches Zack out of the corner, scooping him up and planting him with a Side Slam!

 

ONE!

 

 

 

TWO!

 

 

 

Kickout!

 

COLE

We're seeing much less of a back and forth match between these two so far. This handshake issue has really opened up a more determined side of Bohemoth.

 

Bo backs Zack up into a corner and unloads with a succession of body shots. The referee gets to a count of five and moves Bohemoth back, but the bigman gets right back on Zack with some more body shots seconds later. The Belfast crowd sense trouble for Zack and start to get behind him with chants of "MAL - I - BU!". Bo pays no attention as he whips Zack corner to corner. Following in, he runs right into a raised knee! With Bo dazed, Zack quickly hops up onto the middle rope and jumps off with an axehandle smash... but gets caught by The Meterosexual Monster and trapped in a Bearhug!

 

COLE

This does not look good for Zack right now.

 

COACH

Not at all. Bohemoth just squeezing the life out of Zack and expending little energy doing it. Even if Zack can get out of this the damage may be done.

 

Drawing on his reserves and the support of the crowd, Malibu starts to feel some energy flowing and tries to fight out. Bo keeps Zack's feet off the mat but drops him after Zack drives his elbows downwards into the side of his neck! Once his feet are down, Zack tries to pry an arm between Bo's. When that doesn't work, he rings the bigman's bell with a double ear clap! Bo wobbles a little, so Zack claps the ears again. And after a third shot, Bo looks weakened. But just as Zack sees hope, Bo scoops him right back off his feet and drives him back first into the turnbuckles, then walks out with the bearhug still applied!

 

COACH

Bohemoth with a definate gameplan here tonight.

 

Zack sinks a little as Bo continues to put the squeeze on. Again the crowd try to get behind him, but Zack can't get anything going this time and his arm begins to droop. The referee quickly steps in and checks on Zack, seeing few signs of life and lifts up the left arm... and it drops!

 

COLE

Zack is as tough as they come, but when you've got a 284 pounder cutting off your breathing this is the effect it has.

 

Another couple of tightenings of the hold leave Zack almost done. Bohemoth nods his head, as the referee raises the arm up...

 

 

 

...and it drops a second time.

 

COACH

One more and it's over!

 

"LET'S GO ZACK!"

"LET'S GO ZACK!"

"LET'S GO ZACK!"

"LET'S GO ZACK!"

 

The fans rally behind The Franchise as the referee gives the signal over to the timekeeper. Up goes the arm once more and Zack continues to slump forwards lifelessly, as the ref lets the arm drop...

 

 

 

 

...BUT ZACK KEEPS IT UP, HE'S NOT DONE YET!!

 

COLE

Zack Malibu, digging deep here.

 

Zack clenches up his fist and drives a right hand into the temple. Bo staggers a little and Zack tries it again. A third fist finally breaks Zack free of the hold and he works out the kinks in his back, before hitting the ropes. Bohemoth shakes off the punches like they were nothing though and scoops Malibu up on the rebound, before drilling him down with a Front Spinebuster that sucks the air out of the entire arena! Cover!

 

ONE!

 

 

 

TWO!

 

 

 

T-NO! SHOULDER UP!

 

COACH

Zack's gonna have to keep on digging. Bo's cutting him off at the pass every time at the moment.

 

COLE

I tell you, that win at AngleMania has given Bohemoth so much confidence. We saw the way he dismantled Sly Sommers, now he's controlling Zack in a way he simply couldn't at AngleMania. It's gotta be a confidence thing.

 

Picking Zack back up once more, Bohemoth shoves him back against the ropes. As Zack stumbles back off them the bigman is waiting to greet him with open arms. Before those arms can close around him again, Zack throws an elbow out and catches Bo right on the point of the jaw! Bo staggers for a second while Zack drops to a knee holding his back, unable to follow up any further on his desperation strike. Bo comes back at Zack and hauls him to his feet, connecting with a big right hand that drops Zack in the corner. Stomps force Malibu down against the bottom turnbuckle, a flurry of them before Bohemoth backs off and orders the referee to get out of his way. With Zack still down in the corner, Bo hits the ropes, running down the length of the ring looking for the Facewash. With a little shuffle Zack comes out from the corner just in time and surprises Bo, scything his legs out with a drop toehold as he runs in. Bo falls throat across the middle rope and ends up right where Zack had escaped from, sat up against the bottom turnbuckle. And bad back and all, Zack capitalises as he hits the ropes and lunges into The Meterosexual Monster, hesitating in mid-air as he comes down with a head-snapping dropkick!!

 

COLE

Turn about is fair play!

 

Bo goes down, but Zack is slow to capitalize, and the big man rolls to his feet with ease. Targeting Zack once again, he moves towards the popular superstar, only to be lured in by Zack and rocked with a jawbreaker! Bohemoth hobbles, holding the jaw that Zack nearly broke in their Anglemania encounter, and Malibu comes up and does more damage with a trifecta of European uppercuts! With Bo backed against the ropes, Zack whips him to the far side, but makes the mistake of putting his head down. Bo stops short and sets Zack in a standing headscissor, but when he lifts Zack up, the OAOAST Original rolls over his back, into a sunset flip...but then comes up holding the legs, going for a Figure Four Leglock...but just before he can cinch the hold in, Bo reaches up and cradles him with a small package!

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

TH-NO!

 

COACH

Phew! That was one hell of a back and forth right there!

 

COLE

Zack is fired up, but he's got to watch his comebacks...he's got to remember that Bo has done a lot of damage to that back, and one false move could be his downfall!

 

Both men come up to their feet, and Zack strikes first with an overhand chop to the chest, then throws Bo into the corner where he opens fire again with a flurry of open hand strikes before sending Bo to the opposite corner and following with a running knee that rocks the big man! Zack then backs up and measures Bo up before charging in a second time, this time striking with a corner splash, and after that connects, he shifts Bo up onto the top turnbuckle! Zack then climbs up onto the middle rope and drills a few hard rights into Bo's forehead, then climbs up onto the third rope and locking Bo in a front facelock. Zack lifts, but a combination of the weak back and Bo's resilience factors in, and Bo won't go! With the crowd egging him on, Zack delivers a pair of punches to stun Bo and then try again, but as he tries to lift Bo stands himself up on the top rope, lifts Zack off his feet...AND LEAPS OFF WITH A FLYING SPINEBUSTER THAT SENDS ZACK INTO SHOCK~!

 

COACH

YO~!

 

COLE

What a move! Look at Zack, Coach! Look at him shaking!

 

Malibu quivers on the mat, hollering in agony as the shock has set in, and his back is even worse for wear now. Bo lay with his face buried in the mat, no doubt happy with the turning of the tide once again in this contest. He pushes up off the canvas and crawls over to Malibu, who is aching, and rolls him onto his back, hooking a leg!

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

THRE-NO! NO! ZACK GETS A SHOULDER UP!

 

The crowd goes spastic, as Malibu, albeit at the last second, escaped defeat after that high impact manuever. Bo comes up off the canvas, bringing Zack up with him and scooping him up into his arms. Bo scowls as he holds Zack horizontally, then spins him outward into THE EROTIC AWAKENING OF B~!...but Zack manages to slide out in mid-move and hit a quick Russian legsweep to take Bo off his game! Zack then scrambles to his feet and springs off the middle rope, hitting Bohemoth with an Asai moonsault! Zack then rolls off of him and delivers a kneedrop to the forehead! As Bo stings from the blow, Zack picks him up and quickly hits an inverted atomic drop, then spins him around and hits a back suplex, dumping the big man back on the canvas! Zack grits his teeth as he sits up, he himself reeling from his own offense due to the punishment his back has taken. He comes up off the canvas and drags Bo closer to the corner, then exits the ring, drawing cheers from the anticipating crowd, waiting for his next move. Zack climbs up onto the top rope, and with Bo not stirring he leaps off, sailing through the air with legs kicked out, dropping across Bo's throat with his patented flying legdrop! After landing, Zack again quivers in pain, the surge of pain from the landing shooting up his spine, but he forces himself to suck it up as he rolls onto his stomach and drapes one arm over Bo's chest and sloppily hooks a leg with the other!

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

TH-NO! NO! Bo shoots a shoulder up at the last second!

 

COLE

They are fighting tooth and nail, trading falls, desperate for victory. Zack Malibu is hurting a bit more than his opponent, and much of that in the last few minutes has come due to his own actions!

 

COACH

Just like you have to spend money to make money, sometimes you've got to suffer to make others suffer!

 

Zack leads Bo to his feet and goes to whip Bo into the corner, but Bo counters, and shoots Zack in...but Zack leaps onto the turnbuckles and up and over Bo as he charges in...then rapidly delivers a Zack Attack II to Bo's back as he stops himself short against the corner! Bo crumbles over the turnbuckles, but is led out by Zack, who manages to carry him over with a release German suplex!

 

COLE

Right there, note that Zack didn't hang on for the chain of suplexes! He knows he's got limitations now, and if Bo can take advantage of that weakness once again, that could spell the end for everyone's favorite prep!

 

Zack gets up and heads for the ropes as Bo recovers, and brings his knee up for the original version of his trademark Zack Attack...but Bo pulls his head out of the way of Zack's knee! Zack stops his momentum before he sails over the ropes, and when he turns around he drops low and dodges a charging Bo, letting him sail over the top rope! Bo holds onto the top rope as he goes over, and comes up on the apron just as Zack pulls himself up! Malibu goes for a right hand, but Bo grabs his wrist and holds his arm as he comes around with a hard slap with his own right hand! Zack stumbles back, and Bo propels himself back into the ring with a slingshot shoulderblock! As groggy as they are, both men rise up from the mat once again, and Bo quickly snatches Zack and sets him up for a powerbomb...but gets backdropped over, which does no favors for Zack's back! Falling to one knee, Malibu winces before coming up and rushing the ropes, nailing Bo just as he stands with a leaping lariat! Zack then hits the other side and comes off once again with a second leaping lariat, dropping Bo yet again! Malibu waves his hands to work the crowd up, and as the sweat drips from his forehead he braces himself, eyeing Bo with a gleam in his eye that he's ready to end things here and now. Bo comes up off the canvas, and just as he does Zack zooms forward, sending a SCHOOL'S OUT headed right towards his jaw...but Bo sidesteps the superkick and quickly takes Zack and tosses him overhead with a release belly to belly suplex!

 

COACH

If there was a Prep Toss in the Olympic Games, I'd sign that man up, stat!

 

Bo hovers over Zack, who is sprawled out on the canvas, and snickers before pulling him up to his feet. Trapping him in a front facelock, Bo lifts Zack upside down, stalling before dropping him with a suplex...but Malibu shows signs of life, as he kicks his legs in an effort to shift the weight and fall out of the move! Malibu's counter is successful, and he quickly spins Bo around, hits an inverted atomic drop, then a Northern Lights suplex that pins the big man's shoulders to the canvas!

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

THRE-NO! NO! Bo escapes!

 

COLE

Another quick turn of events, bringing things back into Zack's favor, and another narrow escape from defeat for Bohemoth!

 

COACH

It's Anglemania quality right here on HeldDOWN~!

 

Zack, again hurting because of having to bridge during that move, gets to his feet. Sore and battered, Zack brings Bo up, but gets shoved into the ropes, only to rebound right into a bearhug! Bo wrenches his thick arms around Zack's torso, trying to squeeze the life out of him and drain him of what little energy his has left...but a few quick headbutts drive Bo away, leaving him prone for Zack to hook him with an ANGLE SLA-NO! ZACK CAN'T LIFT HIM! ZACK CAN'T GET HIM UP!

 

Zack again falls to one knee, tending to his back, while Bo wipes the sweat off his brow and comes forward, like a shark that smells blood...RIGHT INTO A SCHOOL'S OUT FROM ZACK MALIBU~!

 

COLE

He reeled him in!

 

COACH

Was he faking? He couldn't have been faking this whole time!

 

COLE

I don't know about faking it, Coach, but he certainly used that injury to set up an opening!

 

Bo flops to the canvas, and Zack collapses on top of him, cradling the leg while the referee does his duty, all to the delight of the rabid crowd!

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

THREE!

 

DING! DING! DING!

 

COLE

HE DID IT! ZACK MALIBU DID IT!

 

COACH

I feel like I need a cold shower after that match! Those two took their feud to the next level, and look the at the fans applauding here, they're lovin' this!

 

Many fans are on their feet, and those who aren't soon are, all roaring over the efforts of these two superstars tonight. As "Getting Away With Murder" booms over the PA to signify victory, Zack is helped up by the referee, who does one better and raises Zack's arm in the air, drawing an even louder response.

 

COLE

Give that man credit, fighting tooth and nail to the very end, and using that quick thinking to get a measure of revenge for Bo's disrespect at Anglemania.

 

Zack moves over to the corner, leaning against the turnbuckles and catching his breath, while Bo rolls on the canvas. The referee checks on the big man, but as Bo slowly emerges from off the sweat stained canvas, he's nudged away, even when Bo nearly falls back over, still aching from the effects of that superkick. Bo shakes the cobwebs off, and when he does, he's face to face with Zack, who hobbles to center ring, staring his sometimes friend, sometimes foe dead in the eye. The two men lock gazes, and it's Zack who is the bigger man tonight, as he extends a hand to Bo once again, drawing a wild cheer from the crowd, as well as a chant.

 

"SHAKE HIS HAND!"

 

"SHAKE HIS HAND!"

 

"SHAKE HIS HAND!"

 

Bo looks into the crowd, and into the hard camera, as if to ask the home viewers what to do. He turns back to Zack and inches closer, his hand ready to shake Zack's...and then he wipes the sweat from his brow and flicks it in Zack's face before turning to leave!

 

COLE

Oh COME ON!

 

Zack, incensed, goes and spins Bo around, and Bo shoves Zack down hard in retaliation! The referee immediately comes between the two before this can break down and orders Bo to the back, while Zack comes back to his feet, not only sore but now incredibly PO'd.

 

COACH

He dissed him again, Mikey Cole!

 

COLE

I don't get it...what is Bohemoth's deal with not wanting to respectully admit that Zack was the better man?

 

COACH

He wouldn't shake Zack's hand after the match that he won, so why would he do it after the one that he lost!?

 

The crowd has gone from cheers to boos now, as Bo goes up the aisle, undaunted by the crowds thoughts of him at this moment. The big man doesn't even bother to turn and look back at the ring, simply disappearing behind the curtain, and leaving Zack alone in the ring, once again rejected, even in victory.
