World's Biggest Selfie
The Roy Wilkins Auditorium descends into darkness and all that can be heard are the cheering fans, eager to find out what VoW can deliver on this week’s episode of Breakthrough. A sound of a picture being taken on a camera echoes throughout the arena and a quick flash lights up the JumboVision. Ziu’s smiling face appears on the screen as the “Selfie Song” by Mippey5 beings to play over the PA system.
Axel Reid: Well it looks like we’ll be hearing from our Zero Gravity Champion before we witness any action here tonight from the sold out Roy Wilkins Auditorium in the Twin Cities... Home of Visionaries of Wrestling!
Ruby Parvati: My favorite ever VoW wrestler. On his way out here to talk about how great he is. Behave...
Axel Reid: Well by the sound of this crowd he’s a lot of people’s favorite wrestler.
Ruby Parvati: I’m sorry but I just don’t get it. I don’t see what other people see in this guy.
Axel Reid: Ruby Parvati apologising? Well I never.
Ruby Parvati: I take that back. I’m not sorry. I don’t see what the fuss is all about.
Axel Reid: Well you’re the type of person that Ziu is trying to win over. He’s one of our champions too and he deserves respect.
Ruby Parvati: No comment.
A sudden blast of noise fills the room as Ziu Zhong strolls out wearing a dark red “Mr. Selfie” T-Shirt with the Zero Gravity Championship held firmly above his head. The proud look on the smiling Ziu’s face is picture perfect. The sight of the belt causes his fans to shout out there favorite chant for him.
Fans: ZERO TO HERO! HERO TO ZERO! ZERO TO HERO! HERO TO ZERO! ZERO TO HERO! HERO TO ZERO!
Ziu Zhong started off at the bottom in VoW and worked hard to become a hero to many fans. He then went a step further and became the Zero Gravity champion. The chant resembles Ziu’s career to date and you can tell that he loves the song as he stands proudly at the entrance with all his fans appreciative eyes on him.
Axel Reid: What a reception. It appears to get louder with each Breakthrough.
Ruby Parvati: I’ve heard louder.
The VoW Centipede rests the belt on the floor and removes a microphone from his pocket.
Ziu Zhong: Cut the music.
Fans: ZERO TO HERO! HERO TO ZERO! ZERO TO HERO! HERO TO ZERO! ZERO TO HERO! HERO TO ZERO
The Selfie song comes to an abrupt end.
Ziu Zhong: I hate to cut the Selfie Song but we’re about to do something special. Right here in St. Paul, Minnesota we’re about to make history. Tonight we’re going to beat a World record.
The Roy Wilkins Auditorium was already pumped up for a big night ahead but seeing Ziu Zhong open the show has given that extra 10% enthusiasm. You wouldn’t be surprised if cracks started ripping through the walls due to the deafening noise.
Ziu Zhong: Tonight we deliver the WORLD’S BIGGEST SELFIE!!
Fans: WOOOOOO! ZERO TO HERO! HERO TO ZERO! ZERO TO HERO! HERO TO ZERO! ZERO TO HERO! HERO TO ZERO
Ruby Parvati: This is a complete joke. Get some real wrestlers out here like Brett Carson or Seth Iser. Anyone but this guy.
Axel Reid: But we’re about to witness the WORLD’S BIGGEST SELFIE Ruby.
Ruby Parvati: If that camera faces in my direction I’m ducking.
Ziu Zhong takes his iPhone from his pocket and touches the screen a few times before looking out at the sea full of VoW fans.
Ziu Zhong: None of you probably know this but the current World’s Biggest Selfie is 1150 people over in Bangladesh. Tonight we rip that record to pieces!!!!
Fans: SELFIE! SELFIE! SELFIE! SELFIE! SELFIE! SELFIE!
Ziu Zhong: That’s right. Get yourself ready and in 10 seconds time I’m going to snap all of us in the World’s Biggest Selfie right here in St. Paul, Minnesota!!
The camera pans the fans in attendance and many of them are playing with their hair and asking their friends and family if they look ok.
Ruby Parvati: Is this really happening?
Axel Reid: It’s really happening Ruby! Get your Selfie face on!
Ziu Zhong then takes out a Selfie stick that appears to have been stuck down his pants and up his back. He connects it to his iPhone and then holds it out in front of him before turning around to catch the fans inside the Roy Wilkins Auditorium.
Ziu Zhong: SMILE!
To add to the effects, when Ziu takes the picture a sound echoes throughout the arena. It wasn’t the full 5000 in attendance but he got managed to get more than half, doubling the previous World’s Biggest Selfie set in Bangladesh. Well, minus Ruby Parvati who kept to her word and ducked under the commentary table.
Fans: SELFIE! SELFIE! SELFIE! SELFIE! SELFIE! SELFIE!
Ziu Zhong: Thank you for participating. We all just made history right there.
Ruby Parvati: Is it all over?
Axel Reid: You’re safe to come out now.
Ruby Parvati: How cheesy was that.
Axel Reid: I think that’s what you’re not getting Ruby. These fans love a bit of cheese.
Ruby Parvati: No cheese for me thanks.
Ziu Zhong: Let’s bring the music back. From the start.
The “Selfie Song” by Mippey5 plays once again and Ziu Zhong walks down to the ring with his iPhone, Selfie stick and Zero Gravity Championship belt. He smiles at the fans in attendance and enters the ring through the middle rope. He puts the Selfie stick to the side and the iPhone slides back in his pocket. The Zero Gravity belt sits satisfactorily over his shoulder as the music fades out.
Ruby Parvati: There’s more? I thought it was over.
Axel Reid: Looks like Ziu has something on his mind.
Ruby Parvati: Why can’t he keep it to himself?
Ziu Zhong: Now I didn’t just come out here to do what I do best and produce a Selfie with you guys. I came out here to address a certain Wolf backstage that appears to have wondered into the wrong area of the VoW roster. Chase Michaels is his name and I’ve tried to send him in the right direction once and next time out at Nothing Else Matters I get to give him some guidance once again. He appears to have “lost” his way and by that I mean he lost a match at Double Jeopardy that meant he got a title shot at my Zero Gravity title and then when he got that shot and lost to me he then ends up getting another title shot against me and my ZG belt. See I’m sorry to sound negative but I just don’t see the logic in that.
Fans: ZERO TO HERO! HERO TO ZERO! ZERO TO HERO! HERO TO ZERO! ZERO TO HERO! HERO TO ZERO
Axel Reid: He has a point.
Ruby Parvati: Ziu always seems to have a point. Chase Michaels did more than enough to win that match. If it wasn’t for poor refereeing we would have a new Zero Gravity Champion.
Ziu Zhong: But it is what it is and I’m looking forward to becoming the hunter once again. When a Wolf is Chasing you the best thing that you can do is prepare for it and when he gets close you blow him out the woods. If he comes into your territory unwelcomingly and wants to take something from you that you have worked so hard for then you prepare and you destroy. The prey fights back and becomes the hunter. I’ve done it once before and I’ll do it again when the Wolf comes through the Duckworth Center at the PPV.
Ziu Zhong paces the ring before talking directly at Chase Michael, his challenger at Nothing Else Matters in a re-match for the Zero Gravity Championship.
Ziu Zhong: Chase Michaels...I put my hand out to you before our match last week because I respect my opponents. Facing you in the ring made me respect you that little bit more. I know that you don’t believe in respecting people but that’s your choice. I took care of you once and I’ll be more than happy to do it again. Sky Sangue claimed that I did not “necessarily deserve the title” but I have no idea what match she was watching. The ref called it how he see it but even if the match continued there was no chance that you were getting out of that ankle lock. ‘The Chase Was On’ and there was—
All of a sudden “Hunt You Down” by Saliva blasts through the speakers but walking through the entrance is not Chase Michaels. Out walks Chase’s new manager Harvey Connors wearing a dark grey suit, white shirt, slate blue tie and a pair of black dress shoes. He looks as dapper as they come and the confident smirk sitting on his face tells his story from a glance. The good looks and the smart clothes shouts ‘success’ and ‘money’. Ziu Zhong doesn’t look too happy at being interrupted but one Ruby Parvati has suddenly perked up.
Ruby Parvati: Finally a real man in the buiding!
Axel Reid: Harvey Connors. The new manager for Chase Michaels. Out here to do Chase’s dirty work for him I guess.
Ruby Parvati: I’ll do Harvey’s dirty work for him. If he’s Chase’s manager then I’m certainly going to be paying a lot more attention during his matches.
Harvey Connors lifts a microphone to his mouth and shakes his head as he does.
Harvey Connors: Let me introduce myself to you Mr. Selfie. My name is Harvey Connors and by the looks of things you’re going to be seeing a lot of me in the coming weeks. I wasn’t happy at the way my client and friend Chase Michaels was treated last week and I plan to make sure he gets what he deserves. When I go out with a plan I make sure that it gets completed with perfection. Watching the referee call the match the way he did last week was both poor refereeing and disappointment for the VoW viewers.
The fans suddenly cheer and Harvey looks happy with himself after buttering up the fans inside the arena. Ziu looked around at the flock of fans and felt a sudden invisible punch below the belt.
Harvey Connors: These fans deserve a better outcome and at Nothing Else Matters we get to make amends for last week’s disgraceful decision.
Harvey slowly descends the walkway to the ring and Ziu just stands close to the ropes, eyeballing his PPV opponent’s manager.
Harvey Connors: For my client, Monday March 30th 2015 Nothing Else Matters and the outcome will be completely different.
Harvey Connors arrives at the ring and stares up at the Zero Gravity Champion through the ropes.
Harvey Connors: So Ziu Zhong...make the most of taking Selfies with that belt over your shoulder because when this month closes and April begins these fans will be looking at a new champion.
Ziu smiles confidently, showing that he wasn’t scared of any threats from this new kid on the block.
Harvey Connors: Oh and Ziu...it’s not about not respecting you, we just don’t like you.
Out of nowhere Chase Michael appears behind The Human Centipede and strikes him in the back of the legs with a black metal baseball bat, taking his legs from beneath him. Ziu lets out a loud groan before falling backwards.
Axel Reid: Where the hell did he come from?! I was so fixated on Harvey’s designer clothes that I didn’t see Chase coming.
Ruby Parvati: Wherever he came from, they got Ziu good and proper.
Axel Reid: I bet you’re loving this.
Ruby Parvati: No comment.
Chase Michaels, looking as focused as ever, strikes another blow to Ziu’s body, this time his arm, and he lets out another groan. Harvey has now stepped into the ring and the boos ring out around the arena.
Fans: BOOOOOO!! BOOOOOO!! BOOOOOO!! BOOOOOO!!
Chase Michaels then lifts the baseball bat high up in the sky and stands over Ziu’s head.
Axel Reid: Don’t do it Chase!
Ruby Parvati: *cough* do *cough* it
Before Chase can deliver the final blow Harvey steps in and shakes his head to Chase, warning him that they want Ziu Zhong at his best so that he can’t give any excuses for his lose to Chase at Nothing Else Matters. Or even worse, Ziu can’t make it to their match. Chase Michaels nods at Harvey, thankful that he now had a manager to make sure he made the right decisions. They were just sending Ziu a message and Ziu certainly took note. Not only did he have Chase to deal with at the PPV but he now had the problem of Harvey Connors.
Axel Reid: Smart move by Harvey. Chase may have put Ziu out of the main event tonight and even their match at Nothing Else Matters.
Ruby Parvati: Smart as well as sexy. This Harvey guy is going to be a good addition for VoW.
Before they depart the ring Chase Michaels takes out Ziu’s iPhone from his pocket and takes a few pictures of Ziu holding his arm and his legs on the ground. The Zero Gravity belt is in the corner of the ring and Chase takes a glance at it before Harvey persuades him to depart the ring and get ready for his match later in the night. Ziu however, he had to recover in time to face possible his hardest match to date. Stacy Jones and Casanova English were waiting later in the night. The only good news was that he has the rest of the night to recover. Chase Michaels and Harvey Connors could wait until Nothing Else Matters because for now there were other things that did matter.
Once Ziu dealt with English and Stacy Jones he could switch all of his attention to Harvey and the Wolf.
