*wrsktisrrrkt-looking to-prsssktth-*

 

*STATIC* (and no, not Scotty. As in, the feed went out!)

 

COLE

Are we good? Coach, can you hear me in the headset?

 

COACH

I can hear you right next to me, but yeah, we're good I think!

 

COLE

Sorry about the technical difficulties, fans, but they're a thing of the past and just in time. Zack Malibu has just entered the ring to battle the man he lost the HI-YAH Heavyweight Championship to two years ago on this very program. A man who once respected him, but has gone through a drastic change since last we saw him.

 

The bell sounds, and like an attack dog set off his leash, Faqu springs into action, delivering a throat thrust that takes Malibu down in the first few seconds of the contest! Zack crawls on all fours, trying to catch his breath, but he's yanked up off the canvas and then tossed against the turnbuckles, where Faqu wraps his hands around Zack's throat, trying to choke him out! Malibu grabs the wrists of the savage Samoan and tries to pry his hands off his throat, but Faqu won't allow it, looking to stop any more precious oxygen from making its way into Zack's body! Finally, as the referee gets to the count of five, the choke is broken, leaving Malibu to try and suck in as much wind as possible before the assault continues. With Zack distracted, Faqu charges into the corner, but at the last second Malibu moves, and the big man collides with the turnbuckles! Immediately, Zack hops up on the second rope and starts hammering Faqu with punches, but punching a Samoan in the head goes as well as you'd think it would, and Malibu is shoved down to the canvas! Zack rolls to his feet and charges the corner again, but Faqu puts his foot up...and Zack catches it! After throwing the leg of the former HI-YAH Heavyweight Champion down to the mat, Zack unloads with a flurry of his trademark open hand strikes, wailing on Faqu before pulling him out of the corner and sending him across the ring...or at least that was the plan, until Faqu reverses! Zack is now headed for the corner, but springs up to the middle rope, then hops over the top and onto the apron, avoiding a charging Faqu who was right behind him! Faqu staggers out of the corner after the collision, and Zack takes him and drops his throat across the top rope, staggering him even more! Zack hops back up on the apron, and with Faqu's back to him, springboards off the top rope with a missle dropkick that sends the big man off-balance, stumbling through the middle ropes and out to the floor!

 

COLE

Fast and furious action to get the ball rolling in this one, folks! Seems like Faqu is ready to tear into Zack tonight, but the combination of speed and agility has sent the Samoan to the outside!

 

Faqu slams his hands on the canvas, growling in anger, while Blonde comes over and tries to pacify his savage friend. Blonde cries foul to the referee, but the ref reminds him that there's nothing wrong with a dropkick, and that his ally had better get back in the ring.

 

Faqu climbs back into the ring, staring menacingly at Zack, who simply smiles at his one time friend and waves him on. Faqu charges Zack, but Malibu rolls under the wild swing of the giant islander, popping up to his feet and delivering a hard open hand chop as Faqu turns around! Zack then rocks him with a European uppercut and takes him by the wrist, sending him into the ropes. Malibu tries a hiptoss, but Faqu stays grounded, and swings his arm around with a lariat, but Malibu ducks! Zack segues into a go behind and runs Faqu to the ropes, rolling backwards while again Faqu maintains a standing position. Befuddled, the Samoan turns around to see Zack smiling again, moving from side to side in a playful fashion in an effort to get into the Samoan's head. Faqu comes at him again and the two tie up, with Faqu snaring Zack in a headlock, but getting shoved into the ropes, only to rebound and plow Zack over with a shoulderblock! Zack starts to get up, but Faqu hits the ropes again, sending Zack back down to the canvas so that Faqu has to hop over him. As Faqu comes off the ropes again, Zack springs up and hits a dropkick, sending him into the ropes...but Faqu uses the momentum to bounce back and nail Zack with a hard clothesline just as he gets to his feet!

 

COACH

I swear Mikey Cole, Zack's head nearly went flying into the fifth row after that shot!

 

Zack reels from the shot, but he's brought up and shoved into the corner by Faqu, who starts drilling Zack with repeated shoulderblocks to the ribs before sending him across the ring, crashing into the far corner! Zack staggers out of the corner, right into the hands of Faqu, who scoops Zack up and drops him with a bodyslam, then drops to one knee, pinning it between Zack's shoulderblades while cramming his fingers into his mouth, tearing at his skin and pulling his cheeks back!

 

COLE

He's trying to rip his face off!

 

COACH

Can you blame him? Look at him, and look at Zack. If I looked like that, I'd wanna look like Zack too!

 

Zack moans in pain, while Faqu smiles, as does a pleased James Blonde at ringside. Faqu then yanks back on Zack's head, slamming it into the canvas, then gets up and quickly hits a splash, crushing the former World Champion under his large Samoan frame!

 

ONE!

 

T-NO!

 

Faqu brings Zack up, looking to inflict more punishment now that Zack has decided not to accept defeat. He brings Zack up, but Malibu takes the opportunity to rattle him with a jawbreaker to change the tide! Faqu is shocked by the blow, and Zack opens fire with hard kicks to the left leg of Faqu, trying to take him off balance. Zack goes to deliver another kick, but Faqu catches it...only to have Zack leap up and crack him in the side of the head with an enzugiri! Dazed even further, Faqu hobbles as Zack runs the ropes and comes off with a spinning wheel kick that takes the Samoan Wrecking Ball to the canvas!

 

COLE

He brought him down!

 

Zack hops onto the shoulders of Faqu and starts throwing elbows, cracking Faqu across either side of his head as he tries to deflect the assault! Zack follows up with a kneedrop, spiking the point into the temple of his opponent, and then brings him up and sends him into motion, bouncing off the ropes and right into a BIG back bodydrop that shakes the ring! Blonde is having conniptions on the floor as Malibu works on dismantling the rabid animal in the ring with him, rushing up behind him and trying for a German suplex, only to be snapmared to the canvas and drilled with a legdrop from a dazed and angered island beast! Faqu then brings Zack up and pulls him up onto his shoulders for a Samoan drop, but Zack manages to wriggle free and shove Faqu into the ropes, who again utilizes the momentum to drill his bare foot into Zack's pristine preppy face!

 

COLE

This is not the same man Zack has fought before, at least not a man with the same mindset.

 

COACH

I don't think he even HAS a mindset!

 

Zack rolls over, covering his face and feeling for all of his teeth, while Faqu measures him up. Zack rises, and catches a kick to the ribs that he's unable to block, then gets stuffed into position for a powerbomb. Zack gets pulled into the air, but manages to slide out of the grasp of his opponent and try for an STO, but he gets an elbow to the side of his face for his troubles! Zack backs away, and Faqu tries a thrust kick, but Zack catches his foot and drives the point of his elbow into the Samoan's knee, hobbling him enough so that Zack can repay the favor by delivering an elbow strike of his own to the side of his head! Walking on a bad wheel, Faqu struggles to keep his balance as Zack bounds for the ropes, coming off with his trademark leaping lariat that takes the Samoan off his feet and has him looking up at the lights! Zack heads for the ropes again, but this time Blonde swipes his leg out from under him, causing Zack to faceplant himself into the canvas!

 

COLE

There it is...you just KNEW it was coming!

 

The crowd boos loudly as Blonde just keeps pacing around ringside, acting incredulous to the accusations...but payback is a bitch, as Malibu launches himself out of the ring with a pescado that wipes him out! The fans roar as Zack gets up to his feet and jumps up on the apron and starts climbing the ropes...but Blonde is up and hops up on the apron after him, paying no attention to the Metrosexual Monster that has barged down the aisle and yanks him to the floor, triggering a brawl!

 

COACH

It's Bo, yo!

 

Bohemoth, living up to his word, comes out and has Zack's back, taking Blonde and whipping him into the security barrier, then following up with a clothesline that dumps him in the first row! Meanwhile, Zack gets crotched on the top rope by Faqu, who shakes the ropes to send him off balance. The Samoan, limping slightly now, heads up top and snatches Zack, hitting a release belly to belly suplex off the ropes that sends Malibu into orbit before gravity brings him back down the hard way! Faqu gets up and stalks Zack, creeping across the ring towards his fallen foe, but then out of the corner of his eye notices Bohemoth brawling with Blonde at ringside. Faqu moves towards the ropes and hops off the apron, driving an axehandle between Bo's shoulder blades as he dukes it out with Blonde, and now the duo hammers Bo down, working him over with vicious forearms and kicks. The members of Cucaracha International pound on the popular hoss and then roll him into the ring...which Zack utilizes to his advantage, as he runs across the ring and springs off of Bo's back as he rest on all fours, launching himself over the ropes with a flip plancha onto his rivals!

 

COLE

That was amazing!

 

The crowd gets a rush from witnessing Zack's show of bravery, as all three men are sprawled out in the aisleway. Referee Charles Robinson has no idea what to make of the scene, as he's got a man not in the match recovering in the ring, and the two combatants plus one other all laid out on the floor. Slowly, Zack, Faqu, and Blonde all rise to their feet, and Zack trades blows with both of them until Bo rolls out of the ring to even the odds.

 

COLE

It's breaking down here again for the second week in a row! These four guys are tearing each other apart!

 

Bo pairs off with Faqu, while Blonde and Zack trade shots, each man delivering a right hand to the face of the other before it's reciprocated. Bo pins Faqu against the apron, but Faqu gouges his eyes and delivers a headbutt to stagger him, then grabs him by the neck to choke him out! Bo reaches out and takes Faqu by the neck, and now a swarm of OAOAST staff rush out to break up the chaos before things get too heated!

 

COACH

I think we lost this one, Cole...it doesn't seem like any order is gonna be restored!

 

Robinson, the road agents, the other refs...everyone and their mother is trying to pry the four wrestlers apart, to no avail. Punches continue to be thrown and no one is able to be held back, until literally about 10 staff members stand between the two pairs of wrestlers. Faqu tries barrelling through EVERYONE, but Blonde realizes that it would do their careers even more harm if he were to lay waste to everybody out there. Zack and Bo egg him on, only to be calmed by the OAOAST crew.

 

COLE

The bad blood boils over once again, and I don't think anything got settled here at all tonight, Coach! Two years ago Faqu had undoubtedly the greatest moment of his career on this very program against Zack, but neither man can be happy about tonight!

 

COACH

Both guys had points to prove, and none of that happened. What we do know is that Zack has a red dot on him and Blonde and Faqu are the snipers ready to fire!

 

COLE

We also know that Bohemoth, fresh off a brutal rivalry with Zack, has now offered to aid his friend as he stands up to his one time allies. This one already has a lot of twists and turns, and I can only imagine what will happen next on HeldDOWN~!

[Zack Malibu 0]

All set. Sorry about taking the low road with the entrances-it was a busy work week so I didn't get to make the match as long as I'd intended, but I think it still holds up well enough for the story it's setting up.
