~The scene opens in a dark brick wallpapered studio at OCW TV. In the dark lit studio we see The HOT 11! host Adi Gold sitting across from her guest this time, Mike Zybala!~
Adi Gold: Welcome everybody to the show! Big show today as I get to sit down with FUTURE OCW Champion. FUTURE OCW Hall of Famer. One of the few good guys left in OCW. The great OUTSIDER leader himself, Mike Zybala. How are you Mike?
ZYBALA: I'm good, you big flatterer. How are you?
Adi Gold: I'm good. Question 1. Well you have had some of the most entertaining matches in OCW history. What matches stand out the most in your entire career?
ZYBALA: Oh geez, that's quite a list First, I'd have to say my SFT World Title win against Dave Van Dam in a Hell in a Cell because that was my first world title of my career. Then, my Boardwalk world title win against Bradley Carrington. Every GCWA X Division title match I had was special. But for OCW, I've had so many. My Reverse Shark Cage match against Bob Grenier, my Cage match against Matt Meyhu, the Mayhem on the Midway against Marcus when we were enemies. I definitely can't forget about my tag title win in Notstralia. After 19 years, it's hard to pick just one.
Adi Gold: Question 2. Facing off with almost everyone in OCW. Who are some of the best Zybala rivalries?
Zybala: Hmmmmm.... I have a few of those. My buddy Dylan Thomas is one of them for sure. Then we got Duce. Matt Meyhu of course. My feud with those transcended into other feds. Despite being partners, TLS is on that list. We always push each other. Outside of OCW, my biggest rival for the longest time was Dave Van Dam. I love the guy, but we spent almost a decade beating the hell out of each other hahaha.
Adi Gold: Question 3. Big fan of music? What is some music Mike Zybala is into right now?
ZYBALA: Almost any genre of Rock. Classic, Metal, 80s, even some of the new shit. I just went to a Metallica concert and it was epic! I also love me some Weird Al. I'm not a big rap fan but DMX and Eminem are always good. Anything 80s is my jam, much to my wife's dismay.
Adi Gold: Question 4. A fan of film and TV? Tell us some of your favorite things to watch.
ZYBALA: I'm still an old school anime nerd. I enjoy anything with Seth McFarland's name attached to it. What We Do In the Shadows is Gold. I love the superhero genre, regardless of the company. Horror movies and shows are my jam. Plus anything on OCW TV.
: Zybala gives Adi a very obvious wink, causing her to chuckle.:
Adi Gold: Oh you. Question 5. Let's pretend Mike Zybala never became a wrestler or owner of both OCW and Outsiders? What would Mike Zybala be doing?
ZYBALA: Hopefully I would have been stipl working for the city of Buffalo. When I first started my wrestling career, I was also a garbage man for Buffalo. Not all that glamorous, but the benefits were fantastic. I'd imagine I'd be trying to move up the ladder there.
Adi Gold: Question 6, Does Mikey Z drink the booze? Yes or no? What does he drink?
ZYBALA: Do I drink? Does the sun shine? If I'm at a party or relaxing for the evening, I'm usually a whiskey and mixer kinda guy. Though, if I'm doing yard or house work, a nice Truly is a good way to cool off. I don't like most seltzers, but the Trulys are pretty good. Plus, I enjoy my father-in-law's moonshine that he made back in the 70s and 80s. Every time Cathy and I visit him, we always come home with a new jar of something he made.
Adi Gold: Question number 7 Any places you'd like to wrestle in front of again or for the first time? Also part two to the question. What exactly is a 'Australia?'
ZYBALA: I would love to wrestle in the Tokyo Dome for the first time. I wouldn't mind going back to England, lovely country. It's actually my goal to wrestle on all 6 continents. As for this 'Australia' thing, some people claim its a 7th continent, but that's just a British conspiracy and computer simulation. Ask Bifford about it. He proved everything about it.
Adi Gold: Question 8. Does Mike Zybala have a crush on anyone in the industry right now? Do tell...
ZYBALA: Not particularly. I'm not saying that anyone isn't attractive, I'm just saying I only have eyes for my wife.
Adi Gold: Question number 9. What are some of your favorite meals?
ZYBALA: I love me some sushi! You also can't go wrong with a good cut of steak on the CHARCOAL grill, fuck what Outcast says. I'm a big Italian fan. Seafood is great too. I love shrimp scampi. I actually just started getting into creole food too.
Adi Gold: Question 10. Is there any names on the OCW roster, past or present you would love to step in the ring with in the future?
ZYBALA: The Big Bifford is definitely the top of the list. I wouldn't mind a one on one match against Alice Knight. A TMZ versus Perfectly Marvelous would be a dream match. I'd love to face Silverfreak just to piss off Biff. Honestly, I'd take on anyone once. Even Jace Parker Davidson, who us now on day THREE of ducking my direct challenge to him.
Adi Gold: And finally. Question 11. I know you want the OCW Championship. But is there any other goals you would love to accomplish in OCW or wrestling?
ZYBALA: Honestly, any title win would be nice. I always believed that it's never the quality of the title, but the quality of the wrestler that makes the belt prestigious. Maybe a few dream matches with the people I already mentioned. Definitely a Hall of Fame spot. Other than that, I've pretty much done everything else. I've headlined pay-per-views and Massacres. I've been in every position of power one can be in. There's not really much left for me to do in OCW.
Adi Gold: Great stuff, Mikey! Any final words you'd want to say to the OCW roster or it's fans?
ZYBALA: Just to keep watching OCW and Outsiders and enjoy The Marcus Welsh Appreciation Tag Team Tournament! Also to stay tuned to OCW TV!
Adi Gold: I want to thank Mike Zybala for joining me here on this episod. And thanks to the OCW viewers for watching the show and enjoying the OCW content. Have a GOLDgeous day and see you next time.
