HD: Zack/Leon segment

Recommended Posts

COLE
Next week, live from Boston, it will be the Celtic Spectacular, headlined by the battle between friends for the OAOAST World Heavyweight Championship as Leon Rodez defends against Zack Malibu. Earlier today before the stands filled here in Chicago we managed to get Zack and Leon together for their thoughts on their upcoming match.


[b]-EARLIER TODAY-[/b]

Up in the empty seats of the United Center in about the 14th row, we find both the OAOAST World Champion Leon Rodez and his soon to be challenger Zack Malibu, casually sat back a couple of seats apart. Leon rests his feet up on the seat in front of him, the OAOAST World Title placed across his lap. The mood seems very easy-going between the two, considering their upcoming match.

LEON
So, it's official huh. You and me in Boston.

ZACK
This is the point where we start cutting promos on each other, right?

LEON
Heh. Yeah, I guess so.

ZACK
You know, honestly, I just want to say first off that I appreciate you even giving me the title shot in the first place. With AngleMania coming up, a lot of guys would have been locked in concentrating on that already and I don't think anyone would have blamed you for turning me down. But fact is, you've been true to your word. No matter what anyone says. You vowed to be a fighting champion and a proper champion and take it from me, that's what you are.

LEON
Well that means a lot... uh... you know, I'm just gonna be happy to have a fair title defence for a change. I spoke to Josie about making sure nobody comes out and obviously there's no guarantee there. But I at least know that I'm in there with Zack Malibu, world reknowned stand-up guy...

ZACK
I don't know about that. I've been called a lot of things over the years. That ain't high on the list.

Champion and challenger share a laugh.

ZACK
Infact, I was thinking about it the other day... unless I'm forgetting anything, it's been about four years since you and me wrestled one on one.

LEON
A lot's changed since then man.

ZACK
Like me being considered a stand-up guy now?

LEON
Way I remember it, it was virtually three on one last time. But hold no grudges, that's all in the past. I've gotten to know you in the succeeding three or four years and I can honestly say there's nobody else I'd rather be in that ring with come February 26th. We've been tag partners and stable mates and whatever else, but truth be told you've been more than that, because me trying to be an upstanding World Champion, that's your influence. You took great pride in being the flag-bearer of this company and I do the same. By leading by example.

ZACK
You're not calling me a mentor, are you?

LEON
No, I'm just sayi...

ZACK
I mean, because if you were, that'd make me feel damn old.

LEON
In that case yes, yes I am.

They laugh again.

ZACK
I appreciate it though, really. And in return, I'll say there's probably no other guy I'd feel more secure in being OAOAST World Champion for the company's interests than you.

LEON
And vice versa.

ZACK
Obviously I'm looking forward to next week. Not just the shot at the title though, but the chance to go out and wrestle. No grudges, no personal issues. Just you and me in the spirit of competition. One thing's for sure... win lose or draw, you and me are going to tear the house down in Boston.

LEON
I hear that. May the best man win.

The friends share a handshake as we fade out.


COACH
If anyone back there can bring me out a sickbag, that'd be good.

COLE
Coach, we're back on.

COACH
I know.

COLE
...Leon Rodez and Zack Malibu, one on one for the OAOAST World Championship next week at the Celtic Spectacular.
