AS 3 - Garth Black vs Zander Young
- Thread starter Harthan
- Start date
A video package plays on the screen featuring clips of Zander Young in WZCW. Becky Serra’s Voice Is played over the top of the video.
Becky - One man has arrived to change the face of professional wrestling. He has risen above the competition and all expectations. Zander Young brings to you, ZANDER TV.
The scene fades in as we see Zander Young and Neil McCulloch sitting in Steve McCoist’s office at the agency where Steve works.
The walls in the room are painted purple and there is a picture of the Loch Ness Monster on the wall.
On Steve’s desk there is an blue filing tidy to his left, empty of files, as only a PSP and a few games lay there.
Steve - Are you in a better mood this week Zander?
Zander - Yes Steve, I got it all out of my system at Meltdown.
Steve - Ok, Good. Well guys, I’ve called you in because I have some good news and some bad news. What do you want to hear first?
Neil - Tell us the bad news first.
Steve - Ok, after speaking to Vance Bateman, your next gig Zander will be at Ascension against Garth Black.
Neil - It’s not a gig Steve, it’s called a match! Musicians have gigs, wrestlers have matches.
Steve - Well it’s the same thing isn’t it? You hit the wrestler, they hit the drums. You slam the opponent, they slam… the beats, you know?
Zander - What?
Steve - Well anyway the bad news is your off meltdown this week. That’s your fault Neil!
Neil - How is it my fault?
Steve - You were the one who kept talking during the interview last time and got us thrown out.
Neil - No it wasn’t. It was your fault for leaving your mobile phone on.
Steve - Well lets not get into who did what. Do you want to hear the good news?
Zander - What’s the good news? Did you get us that front page slot on WZCW.com yet for Zander TV?
Steve - No, still working on that one.
What I’ve organised though is victory celebration at your flat Zander tonight.
Zander - What? Why would you organise a celebration party? And besides you cant do that, what if Neil’s Girlfriend is there? She wont be pleased.
Neil - She’s out with her mum visiting her Grandmother in Manhattan, she wont be home until next week.
Steve - Ok its settled then. Could you two guys help me out getting some nibbles just now?
Neil - Ok. He says unenthusiastically.
Scene fades out.
Scene fades into a large supermarket, Steve is pushing a shopping trolley which only has a few boxes of Party Ring biscuits in it and some bread sticks.
Zander - Do we really need party boxes of Party Rings Steve? That seems a little uncool.
Steve - Trust me guys I know what I’m doing. I’ve hosted many parties before.
Neil - Yeah? Like when?
Steve - Well just last month it was my nephews third birthday. I organised the bouncy castle for that, and just the other day I was on the phone ordering a birthday cake for my mum.
Neil - That’s not organising a party Steve, that’s just one thing.
Steve - Yes it is Neil, I happened to be voted the 5th best party organiser at the McCoist’s 5th annual get together this year. How about that eh? I’m in the top 5! He says, delighted with himself.
Zander - The McCoist’s annual get together?
Steve - Yeah, each year our family take turns in getting the McCoist clan together.
Zander goes to open his mouth and point out Steve ignorance but Neil shakes his head at him, implying that he should just leave it.
They wander around the store looking for food stuffs for the party, They split up, Zander goes to find some pizza, Neil goes off to find some drinks and Steve puts anything in his trolley that ‘looks tasty’.
Zander walks around the frozen food isle and who should he bump into, none other than Becky Serra.
Zander - Wow, fancy seeing you here Becky? Shopping I take it?
Becky - Yeah I know! It’s like a total coincidence. You could only write this stuff.
But yeah, just doing some groceries. I hope you wouldn’t mind if I did a quick interview with you, not the perfect location though. She giggles.
I couldn’t fit you in this week, your manager says you were busy this week?
Zander - Aye he’s been ‘organising’ some party for me, but by all means go ahead.
Becky - Great!
She whips out a notebook and a pen. On the page there is some generic question ideas she uses for any impromptu interview she may have to do.
So this week Zander you face Garth Black. A man you have never faced before. How do you prepare yourself for this match.
Zander - Well Becky what I will do is re-watch last weeks Ascension and specifically take notes on Garths tag team match. Not a perfect type of match to scout my opponents performance on, but I can only work with the tools I’ve got.
Becky - And that briefcase you’ve been carrying around with you, can you at least give us a hint to what’s in it?
Zander - Sure I can, It’s gonna cause Frankie Smith more pain than he’s ever felt in his entire life. He winks at Becky.
Becky - Well I sure can only imagine what it might be. She shivers at the thought.
Moving on. Garth Black Will be no push over this week, but you’ve only tasted defeat once in all one on one competitions in your career so far. What will a win against the co-number one contender to the tag team champions mean to your status in WZCW and do you think Garth will struggle in singles competition?
Zander - Garth Black is a wrestler I wouldn’t want to underestimate Becky, Tag team wrestler or not he’s still a very dangerous opponent who I have the utmost respect for as a wrestler. I think a victory will do me good in terms of being prepared for All or Nothing and push me up the ladder towards challenging for a title, once I prove to everyone that I’m a contender when I beat Frankie Smith!
Becky - Well I wish you the best of luck Zander, I’ll let you get on with your shopping. Oh, and I’ll see you tonight. She smiles and walks away.
Zander - Ok, Bye? He says with a confused look on his face.
Zander mumbles to himself under his breath - How many people did Steve ask to the party tonight?
Scene fades out.
Scene fades in to Zander and Neil’s apartment. Bottles and cans of beer are scattered across the floor. Everyone in the room but Zander and Trevor Steel seem pretty drunk! The walls have been covered in tomato sauce from a food fight earlier, consisting of pizza and party rings.
The room is basically a tip!
Drake Callahan is lying passed out on the sofa, surrounded by booze that has been spilt onto the leather, with a can in his hand. Becky Serra is in the corner with a glass of wine in her hand talking to Selena Anderson and Cat Connor.
There is no background music playing. Drake broke the CD player earlier on.
Phoenix and Trevor Steel (although he looks quite sober) are having a rather heated argument over music tastes whilst Criminal Karnage runs around the room, thinking he’s riding a motorbike. Whilst making Lorry horn noises. For some reason….
And in another corner, Neil overlooks as Steve McCoist and Garth Black facing off in a PSP, mind bogglers kind of game challenge.
Garth laughs in triumph - I win again!
Steve - Damn it, here’s your 10 dollars. He slurs, whilst ranking in his pocket pulling out a 10 dollar note.
Steve throws his PSP at the couch, just missing Drake.
Drake - Huh? He says as he falls back on the sofa.
Zander walks over to Garth.
Zander - Hey man, just wanted to wish you good luck this week at Ascension and the PPV. I don’t plan on holding back though! We’ve both got everything to gain at All or Nothing, so I expect you to be at the top of your game this week.
Zander extends his hand for a hand shake. Garth grabs his hand and pulls him in closer.
The rest of the conscious partiers turn to watch the situation.
Garth - I wouldn’t expect anything less if I were you!
The two stare each other down.
The scene fades out as Criminal Karnage rides around the room on his ‘motorbike’.

Garth Black is backstage. He is strapping up for his match when Leon Kensworthy walks in
Garth, could I ask you a few questions about your upcoming match, would that be ok?
I suppose so.
So this week, you are going one on one with Zander Young, what do you know about him.
Very little. He appears to be from Scotland, and therefore a fellow celt, but apart from that he only allows himself tobe seen on reality TV, and I don't think I'll be watching that, if we're honest.
Why not?
Because its on the internet.
You don't like the internet?
The internet is fine for people like you to touch yourself over ladies you'd never have the testicular fortitude to talk to in real life, and for Becky to give her bank details to a man in Nigeria who has her best interests at heart, but it just seems like a waste of time to me, pathetic almost.
Riiiight. So what is your plan of action tonight?
Well, I intend to win. And win well. Young is precisely that, young, and I intend to make him look like the schoolboy, and I'll be the master with the cane. He doesn't stand a chance. I'll stop there, because that innocent metaphor appears to have gotten you hot under the collar, big man.
Right. Err... Right. I mean, how will it be to perform without Phoenix?
Well, it won't affect me. I told you last week that the message of the second coming would need to be spread seperately, and that is what we're doing. He will be winning on Meltdown, and I will be winning on Ascension. It's as simple as that.
Of course, preperations are under way for your title challenge against the Full House Daves, will a win send a message?
Obviously it will. This match is like I am climbing the mount. I will overcome Young, and then the commandments will be passed down to me, and I will read them, and they will say "Thou shalt be the WCZW tag team champion". And who am I to question that?
When will this second coming begin?
It already has, and it'll never end.
Thanks for the time.

Garth Black is still in the locker room, Annabel walks in.
Hiya, you, I haven't seen you in ages.
No.
You seem a bit, errrm, phased n tha
No, I'm just, in the zone as it were.
Tell me about this sechond comin, is it as good as comin twice?
Anna! I expect better of you. But,yes the second coming will revolutionise this business. We are going to take the lying, cheating, disgusting people who are in power now. The powers that be, the champions, they are all in it together, that's why I keep those fools like Kensworthy at a distance.
That's a bit, errrm, paranoid.
You're a bit paranoid!
Alright, alright, calm down, calm down.
The temple of wrestling is full of people lending what they haven't earned, and the time has come to clear them out. Guys like Young are the sacrificial lambs. The Daves are just the start. The tip of the iceberg. Once we have toppled them, myself and Phoenix will go forward. Are you with us?
Errrm.... gis a couple of days to err think.
