King Cucaracha

HD: Landon segment

Recommended Posts

We cut backstage, to find OAOAST President Josie Baker talking with the SENIOR senior official of professional wrestling, Clem Buzzlefoxer. Josie seems to be trying to coach the poor guy how to make his count faster, which doesn't go well as he over-exerts his elbow in the process. Walking up behind this interesting conversation is Landon Maddix, who claps his hands getting Josie's attention (but not Clem's, hearing isn't what it used to be), to Megan Skye's embarrassment.

MADDIX
My my, if it isn't Senator Palin and Senator McCain! How's the campaign going?

CLEM
Who... who are you?

MADDIX
Yes yes, I admire what you did for this country greatly. You have my vote sir.

Landon shakes Clem's hand, confusing the poor old geezer into thinking he really must be running for office, which explains the smile on his face as he totters off.

JOSIE
Did you want something?

MADDIX
Josie, can I ask you a question? Why in the hell are we dedicating 30 minutes of every show talking about a children's school-election that only effects about 12 people on this planet? We've got 80 wrestlers claiming unemployment while some Arabian blowhard is droning on about some eight year old girl? What the hell kinda wrestling promotion is this!?

JOSIE
Wel...

MADDIX
Sorry, that wasn't actually my question, I just felt like venting. No, I came to talk to you about The Halloween Spectacular. I've talked it over with everybody and I want James Blonde and Faqu representing me in the Tag Title match.

JOSIE
You mean 'representing Cucaracha Internacional'?

MADDIX
Well... yeah, yeah, same thing.

JOSIE
Right. Consider it done. That wasn't a question though.

MADDIX
Oh, it doesn't matter.

Landon promptly walks off from a now equally confused Josie Baker, past the HeldDOWN~! interview backdrop which wakes Josh Matthews up from his game of Top Trumps with a member of the OAOAST production team.

JOSH
LANDON! Landon, sorry to interrupt but, can I get an interview? About The Halloween Spectacular?

MADDIX
What do you wanna hear?

JOSH
Huh?

MADDIX
Well, do you want me to talk about how I'm a three-time World Champion across two seperate companies? How I've beaten the best that the OAOAST has to offer? How I'm leading the group that over the next few days is finally going to prove it's the most dominant in the OAOAST, when we hold the World Titles in singles, tag team and six-man tag competition? And how after waiting so long, it's finally my time to regain the OAOAST World Title I had robbed from me one year ago? Because it'd be true.

Landon shrugs.

MADDIX
Or, do you want the character assassination treatment? Do you want me to talk about how John Brickston has all the charisma of a jar of mayonnaise and that the most interesting thing he's come up with in his entire career to change that perception is stop using his first name? Or how Bohemoth is so busy fending off little girls harbouring teen crushes on him, those well-oiled muscles of his are probably going to be too tired to drag those ridiculous sunglasses off of his head, let alone win a World Championship? How about Alfdogg, the old guard of the OAOAST with a wise old head on a pair of old shoulders carried around on his old knees, being quite literally old news? Or of course, I could lay into Tha Puerto Rican... but, then again, he's really a walking joke as it is, so what untrodden territory is there, really?

Landon shrugs again.

MADDIX
You tell me what angle you want and I'll give it to you. I'll tell you whatever you wanna hear. The fact is, all that's going to matter is what happens at The Halloween Spectacular. Five Man Prism Match? Everybody knows it should be me and the World Champion, I should be the sole number one contender, simple as that. Everybody saw it, clear as day, I was on top in the fatal four way. Well, I'll just have to be on top again, won't I? And, I will be... whether you want to hear that, or not.

Landon and Megan again make a quick exit.
