ZH: Leon vs. Singleton

Recommended Posts

Yeah, if I can get this as the pre-main-event match, then maybe Zack/Moneymaker before the main-event unless Zack asks any different, that should work out well.

 

 

"If you are what you say you are
A superstar
Then have no fear
The camera's here
And the microphones and they wanna know
Oh oh oh yeah"

The red carpet is rolled out as "Superstar" by Lupe Fiasco plays. Lugging along his trusty Siclopse camera, out through the entrance heads Simon Singleton... and it's Singleton by name, Singleton by nature as he heads to the ring alone. That doesn't seem to bother Simon too much as he struts to the ring with a smile on his face, always happy to be under the bright lights of Pay Per View.

BUFFER
Your next contest here at OAOAST Zero Hour is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Beverly Hills, California... he weighs two hundred, twenty five pounds... "THE VIDEO VOYEUR"... "BOX OFFICE" SSSIIIIIIMMMMOOOOOONN... SSSSIIIIIINNGGLLLLEEEEETTOOOOOOONN!!!!

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

Simon sets the Siclopse up at the foot of the aisle, getting his shots all lined up before he even thinks of entering the ring.

COLE
This match added to the Zero Hour card on OAOAST.com at the eleventh hour by Josie Baker, although we understand that Theodore Moneymaker was instrumental in getting this signed. And you'll notice no Ned Blanchard and no Molly Nerdly at Simon Singleton's side tonight. Moneymaker has made it clear, Simon is on his own tonight and it's down to him to impress the, quote, "Messiah".

Removing his Beverly Hills Blond silver vest, Simon tests out the ring ropes while the crowd are more interested in the entrance way. As the drums kick in to "Rock The Casbah" the Cleveland crowd rise to their feet, to welcome Leon Rodez. The Silky Smooth One lacks the fun and frivolity you usually see from him, head down and heading for the ring with only an occassional reach to slap a hand to show he's hearing the crowd.

BUFFER
And his opponent! From Grand Rapids, Michigan... weighing in at two hundred, eighteen pounds. A member of The In Crowd... "THE NEW-AGE LOVE MACHINE"... "THE GRAND RAPIDS GOLDEN CHILD"... ladies and gentlemen, "SILKY SMOOTH"... LLLLLLEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOONN... RRRRRRRROOOOOOODDEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZ!!!!

"YYYYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!"

Leon climbs the steps and pulls off his robe, with Simon standing just feet away jawing at him.

COACH
You know, I went on OAOAST.com last night to do a little research and I found out some big news. Did you read this, apparantly Leon and Maggie Nerdly, rumour has it, are on a 'trial separation'.

COLE
I read that too and if it's true, that's unfortunate to hear.

COACH
Ah, don't worry about it. Seems like Leon's moved on quickly enough.

COLE
Now we don't know that to be true either Coach. All we saw was a note, let's not read too much into that. Let's try and concentrate on this one fall match, In Crowd versus Enterprise here tonight.


*DINGDINGDING!*

The bell sounds and the crowd are instantly behind Leon with their vocal support. Not happy, Simon rolls out of the ring and makes a big deal of hitting the "mute" button on his Siclopse.

COLE
So much for artistic integrity.

COACH
What? Maybe Simon just wants to put a good, triumphant sound-track to it later and wants to make Molly's job a little easier.

COLE
How hard is it to press mute on a computer?

Simon rolls back in and we're ready to go, with a lock-up. Singleton grabs a side headlock and gets shot off the ropes, knocking Leon down on the rebound with a shoulder block. 'Rolling cameras', Simon comes off the ropes again. Roadblock created by Leon, BOSS going up and over before being taken over with a Sitout Hiptoss!

No!

Swing and a miss from Simon leaves him wide open, Leon looking to take him up for a back suplex. Singleton manages to float over the back though landing safely on his feet. A shove in the back sends Leon off the ropes as Simon prepares to swing for the hills again. Strike 2 for BOSS though as Rodez slides through the legs to first base... and that uses up every baseball reference I know, so I've got nothing...


*SLAP!*

"WHOOOOOOOO!"

...for a knifedge chop.


*SLAP!*

"WHOOOOOOOO!"

A second chop.


*SLAP!*

"WHOOOOOOOO!"

And a third. Not a fan of chops, Simon drops to his knees and attempts to call for a timeout. But Leon isn't in a forgiving mood tonight and pulls Simon back up by the EARS, before sending him off the ropes and connecting with a standing dropkick!

COLE
Leon picking up where he left off this past Thursday night on HeldDOWN against Thunderkid, on the offence, showing some rare intensity. And you can only imagine what it's going to be like [i]this[/i] week, Leon Rodez versus Reject inside of a fifteen foot high steel cage!

Rolling out of the ring, Singleton pulls himself up on the apron still looking for some sort of a reprieve. And he's still out of luck as Leon delivers a baseball slide, knocking Simon's feet from underneath him, causing him to drop face-first into the ring apron! Reaching out of the ring, Leon then drags Simon back up onto the apron, bringing him in the hard way with a vertical suplex...

No.

Irish whip sends Singleton into a corner, Leon charging in... and getting caught with a knee!

COACH
There we go. Show him why you're the BOSS!

COLE
I wonder how Theodore Moneymaker feels about that nickname.

COACH
He's The Messiah now, I'm sure he's cool with it.

Hopping to the middle rope, Simon drops with a right hand to the temple from short range. That staggers Rodez, allowing Simon to go up again with a second fist. Singleton then delivers a back suplex and makes the cover...

No!

Simon looks to shut Leon down with a rear chinlock now, positioning him towards the Siclopse for a good full frontal shot of the hold.

"LE - ON!"
"LE - ON!"
"LE - ON!"
"LE - ON!"

COLE
This Cleveland crowd getting behind Leon Rodez. And he seems to be drawing off it.

COACH
Yeah no kidding, C'MON SIMON! You're gonna have to do better than a chinlock to impress Mister Moneymaker!

Fighting to his feet with the support of the fans, Leon delivers an elbow to the gut. And a second. And a third, breaking free. As he goes to hit the ropes though, Simon reaches out and grabs a hold of the back of his singlet. A sly tug puts Leon on the backfoot and allows Simon to hit the ropes instead, aiming high with a clothesline. Rodez ducks though, dropkicking Singleton in the back to set him on the middle rope. Sizing him up, Rodez then does a weird sort of jig before hitting the ropes, shooting back and driving his weight into the spine of BOSS!

COLE
Call That Bitch Bojangles!

Simon staggers off the ropes... right into an Exploder Suplex!

COLE
And what a throw! Simon is in trouble right now and there's no-one for the tag team specialist to tag, he's aaaall alone!

Waiting on Singleton to get back up, Leon delivers a boot and underhooks the arms. Before he can hit the Tiger Driver though Simon drops to one knee and prevents from being taken up. Leon lets him go with a little annoyance and pulls Simon up for a chop... but Simon cuts him off by going to the eyes!

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

COACH
See, Simon ain't no scrub. He knows what's up.

Scoop and a slam from BOSS sets The Silky Smooth One where he wants him, as he heads to the top rope. The crowd let Singleton hear it as he stops halfway to size Leon up on his imaginary camera phone, before scaling the rest of the way to the top.

COLE
Simon wasting a lot of time here.

COACH
He's a sport entertainer Michael. It's all about the style. See, here's the entertainment...

Getting his footing, Simon soars with his patented CLAPBOARD LEGDROP...



COACH
...and here's the sport!




...BUT LEON ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY!!!

"YYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!"

Hobbling around, the hold on his tailbone prevents Simon from blocking a jab!

A jab!


A jab!



A jab!


Rodez turns, blowing the kiss, before turning back on his heels...



*SMACK!*


...and nailing The Video Voyeur upside the head with the enziguri!

COLE
MAMA SAID KNOCK YOU OUT! And Simon IS out!

Dragging his opponent into position, Leon quickly heads to the top himself. Wasting none of the time that Singleton has earlier he scales up the turnbuckles and reaches the top in no time at all, tumbling...



...and NAILING the 450!!!

COLE
Put it in the can!

3!!!


*DINGDINGDING!*

COLE
Absolutely decisive!

"Rock The Casbah" hits again, Leon's hand raised in a satisfying victory.

BUFFER
Ladies and gentlemen, your winner of the match... "SILKY SMOOTH" LLLEEEEEOOOOOOONN... RRROOOOOODDEEEEZZZZZZZZ!!!!

"YYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!"

COLE
Leon with a nice warm-up for the match that he REALLY wants. And it's the match he's going to get this week on HeldDOWN~! Rodez, Reject, inside the Steel Cage, what a war it promises to be...



Suddenly, we cut away from the ring... and to a hotel near the arena, where we find Melissa Nerdly walking down the hallway.  She stops at room 401, where she sees an employee standing next to the door.

MELISSA
Hi, I'm Melissa!  I'm here to see Leon.

The employee hands her a key to the room, and a note.

MELISSA
[i]"Use the restroom to get yourself ready, then see me in the room."[/i]

Melissa enters the room, and walks into the restroom, humming to herself as she fluffs out her hair, and removes her coat to reveal some very revealing black lingerie, which gets a rise out of the males watching.  She looks in the mirror and smiles, then walks into the room.

MELISSA
Well, what do you think...

Melissa holds her arms out, then her smile turns to a look of shock and horror, as the camera pans to the bed to reveal Reject laying on it, with his hands behind his head.

REJECT
Oh, you look [i]great.[/i]

Melissa screams in horror, as Reject hops off the bed, and the camera suddenly cuts out, and the screen becomes fuzzy.


Back in the Quicken Loans Arena and Leon, halfway up the aisle, has come to a stop. Looking at the now blank video screen he runs his hands over his head before quickly disappearing backstage.

COLE
Well, that is... that is not good.
