Whats my angle ?
 
 
There are three parts to the development of this angle.

In part 1 this week -  

It's fall 1991 and the Z-Man, Tom Zenk, weighing in at 261 lbs is scheduled to wrestle Mr Hughes.  

Mr Hughes is billed as bodyguard to World Heavyweight Champion, Lex Luger. He is accompanied to the ring by Harley Race.  

Recently Luger had turned heel attacking  the Z-Man, Sting and other faces. Zenk accuses Luger of turning his back on all the fans who had supported him in the past .... 
 

 
 
Harley Race - "Let me tell you something Tom Zenk. When you came out on tv and insulted the World's Heavyweight Champion you asked for what's going to happen to you tonight."
 
Race - "How dare you, how dare you, even make an innuendo that my man, the Total Package, had turned his back on anyone."
Z-Man - "Listen Harley Race. This doesn't concern you or Hughes - the two of you out here." 
 
 
 
"Lex Luger had the faith of all these kids. It's about what he did with all these kids behind him. He turned his back on every one of you kids." 
 
"And myself - he doesn't return my phone calls. He turned his back on Sting and everyone here."
"And if you think for one minute that the Z-Man's gonna take it  .... well .... it ain't gonna happen."
Harley Race - "Well I'll say this to you. You're going to get a chance in just one second to talk to the man himself." Announcer - "Ladies and gentlemen, the World Heavyweight Champion, The Total Package, Lex Luger."
Lex Luger - "You know Tom, here we go again, here we go again. Due to our friendship in the past, I'm gonna give you a last chance ...." "I'm gonna attempt to cut you a break. Now you made a statement that I turned my back on all the fans - and all my friends. Is that right?"
Z-Man - "Yeah."
Luger - " Well, I'm going to prove you wrong on national television, right now." 
 
"All it will take, Tom, is a simple apology ...." ".... right here, in front of all these people and all these people out there - and I'll allow you to walk."

Z-Man - "First of all Luger - you know me better than that. I'm not going to walk away from you." "And how DARE you say that you're gonna ALLOW me to walk."

Commentator - "Oh Luger with a cheap shot. He caught him right in the face with a clothesline." 
"And now Race and Hughes are holding the Z-Man."
(animated fig)
"Luger has caught him in a pile driver." 
"The World Heavyweight Champion just decked the Z-Man with a pile driver."
