Do Cheetahs Eat Champions?

Cheetah Boy vs Zack Reno, Match 728 - 2 Out of 3 (UCW)

With increasing arrogance, Zack Reno has been eliminating pretenders to the UCW championship belt, including former belt holders Tyson the Hammer and Axel and stiff competition like Eli Black and Chase Michaels. In this 2-out-of-3-fall contest, he faces the relatively new and inexperienced Cheetah Boy with a gigantic chip on his shoulder. Despite the iconic mask, there's no disguising Cheetah's desire to bust Reno's balls, and Reno makes it all the more tempting by swaggering like a neighborhood bully.

Zack is particularly obnoxious as he introduces himself, stressing every consonant and vowel in his name as if Cheetah Boy were hard of hearing. Up for the fight, Cheetah mocks the champ: "That's a pretty belt you got there, huh? How'd you win that? By sucking cock?" "I'm the best this company has to offer," Zack testily replies, clearly ruffled by the insult. He jabs his finger to the UCW medallion. "Nationwide. Worldwide," he emphasizes. Cheetah grabs the belt and rubs the medallion against his crotch and butt.

The subsequent 24-minute brawl matches the war of words in intensity and deliberate provocation. Some parts are stronger than others, but the fight's high points are 100-percent boner bait. Cheetah takes every opportunity to humiliate and emasculate the egotistical champion. On the defense, Reno fights back, but he's stymied by the challenger's highly energetic assaults. Halfway through the match, both wrestlers are sweaty and winded.

Success and accolades have clearly gotten into Zack Reno's head. He enters the ring these days, acting as if he has nothing further to prove. He's been setting himself up for a big downfall since he first took the belt from Tyson, and his ego has expanded with each challenger he has pinned, submitted, or knocked out. The humble hero he once was is now nowhere to be found.

P.S. Happy Birthday, BodySlam!
