: Mike Zybala. OCW gatekeeper. Tag Team champion. Slayer of gods. Legend. Whatever you want to call the man, he looks good in a toga. Which is exactly what he is wearing, with his tag title around his waist, of course. He is sitting on a throne made for a deity. Besides that majestic throne are the remnants of other thrones. If you had watched any movies like the Percy Jackson or The Clash of the Titans, this room would look familiar to you. It looks like the top of Mount Olympus where the Greek Gods reside, only worse. It looks like someone had destroyed everything except for the main seat of power. The seat of Zeus…. :
Zybala: I told you, Zeus. When we last squared off, I told you that I would not only defeat you, but also take your throne as King of the gods. One SUPERKICK later, and the god is king no more. And now, all because you have one surprise win, you think you can come after the real TMZ's tag team titles?!? Are you kidding me?! What makes you…
TLS: The fuck are you doing? Why are you in this Olympus replica?! I didn't invite you to Greece for this.
: Zybala stops his monologue as he notices his tag team partner. He then notices the tour group behind TLS and more importantly, the security guards behind them. Zybala looks concerned and embarrassed. :
Zybala: Well, you see, I thought this replica of Zeus's throne would be the perfect place for a promo against him and the other Zeus. Can you believe the audacity of those two? We call ourselves TMZ and do a twin mask thing and those two shit jobbers copy us! The disrespect of it all. I can't wait to beat the respect into them on Massacre! I'll make them regret even looking at our tag team titles, let only thinking they had a shot at them.
TLS: I get that, but why did you trash the museum replica on Olympus?
Zybala: It was like that when I walked in here??
~The security guards immediately get on the radio and notify their supervisor. Zybala makes his way towards TLS and whispers.~
Zybala: I found what you came here.
TLS: What are you talking about?
Zybala: I found Pandora's Box. When we open the box, Zeus can't help but be mesmerized by what's inside.
~ The tour guides whisks the tour group to another location as security investigates the damage. ~
Zybala: Let's get out of here.
:30 minutes later:
~Zybala and TLS as standing at a street side food stall with 2 gyros in front of them.~
Zybala: I don't think I've ever had a jai-ro before. This is like a Greek burrito.
TLS: It's pronounced yee-ro.
~Zybala takes a bite out of his gyro.~
TLS: Zeus was the god of gods, he led the war that over threw the old Titans. He was strong, he was smart, he was brave. But he always had one weakness.
Zybala: He's a horrible dancer.
TLS: Women. He couldn't resist beautiful women.
Zybala: Ah.. I see where you are going with this. So we should use PerVag as a distraction.
TLS: You think Pervag is a beautiful woman?
~Zybala shrugs as he takes another bite of the gyro and quickly tries to change the subject.~
Zybala: Here look at this. Pandora's Box.
~ Zybala places a small music box on the counter. He winds it up as TLS straps blankly.
Music starts to play as the box opens up and a little woman figurine twirls.~
Zybala: So here's my idea. We bring this to the ring, right? We confront Zeus with it and open it up, suckling the god into the box. Once he and the other Zeus are trapped in the box, we toss it out of the ring. We tell the ref to make the ten count and we don't have to do anything more strenuous than lifting our tag titles. We get the easy win, well, EASIER win, and Marcus comes out and gives us our prize.
TLS: Really? THAT'S your plan? Why do we even need a plan? It's Zeus for fuck sake! Even if it's two Zeus's, it's still Zeus! The man has one win in forever and you start acting like he's Scott Syren. He's a jobber who got lucky one time. Plus we all know the other Zeus is just gonna be Hades in a mask. Do we really need a magical box to beat them?
Zybala: Look, I know we can beat them with our skill alone. We're the greatest tag team champions in OCW history! No one can beat us. I know we don't NEED the box, but I still WANT to use the box. I wanna see if the legends are true and we can use this thing to suck people into it, god or not.
TLS: You know it's just a legend, right? Myth? Make believe?
Zybala: Dude, I got trapped in the fucking future. I've seen a literal GODDESS strike down not only Bob Grenier but our airplane. There is nothing that I won't believe in anymore. Hell, if Marcus ever books a show in the North Pole, I'll be the first guy looking for Santa. If a goddess tried to kill us all, what's to say Santa ain't real??
~ Zybala hears some commotion and turns to see the security guards from earlier, they point in his direction.~
Zybala: OH shit. We gotta get out of here.
~ Zybala turn to TLS, but TLS is already gone.~
Zybala: Oh you son of a bitch…
~ Zybala takes off running as security guards start running as well, shouting at Zybala in Greek as the scene fades to black. ~
