Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2008 (edited) "Getting Away With Murder" hits for the first time in a few weeks on HeldDOWN~!, and the unexpected sound of Papa Roach's anthem brings the fans to their feet, for they know what it means! COLE Here he comes! The OAOAST's favorite son returns here tonight on HeldDOWN~!, and it's great to see Zack back! Amidst the cheers, ZACK MALIBU heads out from the back, all dressed up with some place to go...namely down to the ring! The leader of The In Crowd heads to the squared circle, slapping some hands along the way, as the ratings are surely rising for the appearance of the former World Champion. After obtaining the mic, Malibu steps up into the ring and poses briefly for his fans, then starts to say what's on his mind. MALIBU I know that most of you are wondering where I've been since Angleslam. I know that The Enterprise would like to spin things in their favor and think that they've broken me down and run me off, but as you can see by me standing here in this ring that is far from the case. The reason for my absence from OAOAST television was simply due to a family situation. As you all know, I've got a beautiful baby daughter at home who fell victim to illness last week, and I rushed out on the first flight I could find to be by her side. While it was nothing serious, even the slightest hint of sickness will take its toll on a young child, as any parent here in the crowd can attest to. I might be new at this dad thing and might worry a little too much sometimes, but my family takes precident over my wrestling, and I'm sure everyone can agree with me on that. The crowd applauds Zack's noble gesture, and he nods in thanks before getting back to business. MALIBU NOW, since I am back here on HeldDOWN~!, let's talk about a few things, shall we? Let's talk about Angleslam, and The Enterprise, and the fact that I, for one, am growing SICK AND TIRED of Theodore Moneymaker pulling strings, swaying things in his favor, and claiming that I'm the biggest fraud this company has ever seen! Well, Moneymaker, congratulations. You've succeeded in drawing my ire, because I'm going to make you eat those words. You've got yourself surrounded by your little empire, your Enterprise...people who are quick to do your bidding for a quick buck, no matter the cost or consequence. Meanwhile, I stand in this ring as your polar opposite, the leader of a group of individuals more talented and more dedicated than maybe anyone I've come across, past or present. You come out here and bring up the past, incidents that I may not necessarily be proud of, but they happened. I can't take them back, but I will damn sure not let you use them to manipulate your way through this company. The blood and sweat that this company was built on is thicker and means more to everyone in that locker room than any currency you can flash around, so instead of peeling off $100 bills and bribing your way through life, take a page out of my book. Be a MAN, Theodore, and face your challenge head on. Be a man, be the elitist you pride yourself on being, and stand face to face, nose to nose, with ME! Don't just tell me what you think...SHOW ME. Show me here, in this ring! The crowd roars, as Malibu's grandstand challenge has been thrown out. Surely enough, it's only moments before a response is heard, by a voice booming over a microphone even before the person speaking has stepped through the curtain. "Zack, Zack, Zack..." Stepping out onto the ramp is THEODORE MONEYMAKER, the object of Zack's ire, but he's certainly not dressed for a fight in that dapper ensemble. MONEYMAKER Look at you, Zachary. So full of piss and vinegar, so eager to be the conquering hero once again. Well, sadly, not tonight. You, for once, are not on my agenda. The crowd boos loudly at the cowardice, although Moneymaker would have you believe it's for another reason. MONEYMAKER Now I've listened to you tonight, Zack, and you do make some sense. I think it is about time that I showed you what I think of you. Unfortunately for you, it's not just what I think of you, Zack. Do you think I'm acting on my own opinions when I talk about your checkered past? Do you think I do it just to goad you into a fight, to lure you into a trap? Zack Malibu, when you look in the mirror every day, you are staring at your own worst enemy! The hell that has been brought down on you numerous times is of no one's fault but YOUR OWN! You are so desperate to save face, Zack...so desperate to remain accepted by these peons that you will have them eat out of the palm of your hand when the truth is the only person you care about is YOURSELF! You lose at one of our major PPV's and vanish into thin air, because of a family emergency? Then you come back and proudly proclaim how you've been home being Father Of The Year? Come clean Zack...your family is just as much of a lie as your heroism is! Zack's face drops, as Moneymaker is crossing the line. MONEYMAKER Struck a nerve, have I? Let's think about this one...the OAOAST's Franchise, the living, breathing superhero. A role model to people all over this world...had a child out of wedlock and not ONCE has even hinted that his girlfriend, the mother of his child, might just be the woman he wants to spend his life with. This same man travels the world, bloodies people, verbally abuses people including WOMEN, hangs out with a former junkie and a former porn star, and yet is supposed to be revered?!?! Personally, to me, that is UNACCEPTABLE! You do not DESERVE to be applauded, Zachary. You do not deserve the cheers of these people. I myself do not give a DAMN what they think about me, but you are simply the Pied Piper, leading all of these blind mice along with your charade. So now, Zack, that being said...I'm going to grant you what you've asked. I am going to step into an OAOAST ring, and I'm going to tell you...nay Zack, I'm going to show you the error of your ways. I'm challenging you to show up at Zero Hour, Zack, and step into that ring... MALIBU You're on! You don't even have to finish that sentence, Moneymaker, because at Zero Hour, I will be more than happy to kick your ass across this ring! The crowd roars at Malibu's proud proclamation, but Moneymaker simply chuckles. MONEYMAKER There you go, getting ahead of yourself again, Zack. See, at Zero Hour, we will be in that ring staring each other down...but we aren't having a match. The crowd boos, and now Malibu claims, off mic, that Moneymaker is a coward. MONEYMAKER I'll be there, Zack, but not to wrestle. I'll be standing in that ring watching you turn pale, watching as your eyes lower, because at Zero Hour, I'm challenging you to face the one thing that you fear more than anything. The one thing that you don't want anyone to remember...not these fans, not your so called family at home, not your friends in the locker room. At Zero Hour, Zack Malibu, I am challenging you to come face to face with YOUR PAST. Moneymaker, looking more stern and determined at this point, stares at Malibu, who looks more confused than ever. Moneymaker then cackles and walks off, leaving a bewildered Zack Malibu alone in the ring. COLE Zack Malibu returned with a vengeance here tonight, but Theodore Moneymaker has threatened to have Zack face his past at Zero Hour. What do you think that means, Coach? COACH Well, short of Moneymaker showing up with a DeLorean for Zack to go back in time, I don't know! COLE We know THAT'S not happening. COACH Do you even realize how much money that guy has? He probably drives one now just for fun! COLE You really believe that, don't you? Edited September 18, 2008 by Zack Malibu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
