Thursday 20 May 1996.
Vince McMahon traveled to the ZAGE offices in the United States to personally thank Zaboru for the incredible success of the L1GM4 event. The event had become a media sensation, dominating headlines across television networks and newspapers alike, sparking conversation and excitement throughout the entertainment world.
Vince McMahon laughed out loud, his booming voice echoing through the room. "HAHAHA! Zaboru, I've got to say—it was genius. Your idea to become Zabo-man really worked. It's selling like crazy!" He could hardly contain his excitement, clearly thrilled with the overwhelming success of the character.
Zaboru smiled with satisfaction, pleased with the feedback. "Glad you liked it, Vince. But what about the others—guys like Hulk Hogan, Jim Neidhart, Bret Hart? Did they complain at all?"
Vince waved off the concern and chuckled again. "Nah, not even close. If anything, it's made them more famous. Their popularity has jumped, which means bigger audiences, more merchandise sold, and way fatter checks coming in. They know the game—it's all about staying relevant and entertaining the crowd."
He leaned forward, grinning. "Honestly, the mystery around Zabo-man just added fuel to the fire. The fans love it. It's unpredictable, it's wild, and that means more eyes on every show. And when the ratings go up, so does the cash flow. It's a win for everyone."
Zaboru chuckled and nodded. "Anyway, Vince, what brings you here? Is it you're thinking about selling WWE to me?"
Vince leaned back in his chair, pausing for a moment before answering. "Well, sort of. I just wanted to talk, to get a feel for things. I know ZAGE and you personally have built a strong reputation when it comes to acquiring and improving companies. But you see, WWF—it's more than a brand to me. It's my heart and soul. It's the company my family built from the ground up. It's my legacy. And I've always dreamed of turning it into one of the biggest entertainment empires the world has ever seen. You understand what I'm saying, right?"
Zaboru nodded in understanding. "Yes, I understand completely, Vince. And I believe I can help make that vision a reality. Here's what I propose—I can offer you 50% ownership of WWF for around 28 million dollars. That way, you can reinvest the funds into expanding WWF's reach, boosting marketing, and improving production value to attract even bigger audiences.
At the same time, I'll inject additional capital on my end to support innovation and development. I've got a few fresh ideas in mind—something on the scale of the L1GM4 event—that can help shake things up and keep fans on their toes. And of course, these ideas would benefit the WWF Superstars too, giving them more opportunities to shine and grow as performers."
Currently, the estimated value of the WWF stands at around 52 million dollars. Zaboru is asking for what he believes is a fair price, choosing not to inflate the valuation any further. He's learned from past experiences that driving the price up too high can backfire, potentially hindering deals and souring partnerships affecting ZAGE reputation as well.
Vince paused in thought, then said, "It's honestly tempting—I know exactly what that brilliant mind of yours is capable of."
Zaboru chuckled knowingly, sensing Vince's hesitation. "Don't worry. We can keep this acquisition completely private. The world and the media don't have to know anything, Vince. That way, the reputation of WWF won't be overshadowed by ZAGE's name. It stays intact—yours, just as it's always been."
Vince grinned. "I see you know what you're doing, huh?" He nodded and added, "Alright then, I agree—but let's keep this private."
Zaboru nodded in return. "Absolutely. I'll have my lawyer draft the contract and prepare all the necessary documents. We'll contact you soon. In the meantime, make sure WWF's legal team is ready on your side too."
Vince nodded once more, offering a firm handshake. "Glad to be working with you, Zaboru."
With that, Vince McMahon left the ZAGE USA headquarters, a subtle sense of optimism in the air as the next chapter of WWF quietly began to unfold.
Meanwhile, on the ZAGE forums, a heated discussion was erupting over a hot topic titled "ZABO-Man Real World!" The original post claimed that the real Zabo-man had appeared during the WWF L1GM4 match. According to the poster, what fans saw in the ring wasn't a performance or a costume—it was the genuine Zabo-man. This claim sparked a frenzy of replies, counters, and wild theories. Some users argued firmly that it was simply Zaboru Renkonan wearing an elaborate disguise, using special effects and timing to pull off the illusion. However, a large portion of the community pushed back, insisting it couldn't possibly be Zaboru due to the incredible agility, strength, and spectacular movements the figure had displayed in the ring.
As the debate intensified, theories became more dramatic. Some forum users floated the idea that Zabo-man wasn't human at all, but a magician with supernatural abilities—or even an alien with technology far beyond human understanding. The fact that Zabo-man was able to seemingly disappear at will during the match only fueled these beliefs, creating a whirlwind of speculation that spilled into other online spaces. People began dissecting match footage frame by frame, analyzing shadows and reflections, and even comparing it to urban legends and obscure folklore. What started as a wrestling event had become an internet mystery with a life of its own.
Some fans even fabricated wild stories, claiming they saw Zabo-man flying outside their homes. Others went further, insisting they witnessed Zabo-man battling a monster in their backyard. The tales were clearly exaggerated, but they added a humorous layer to the growing legend, making the entire situation even more absurd and entertaining.
The discussion surrounding Zabo-man in the WWF didn't stop at just his mysterious appearance. Fans were quick to point out the music that played during his entrance, speculating that it was yet another unreleased original track by Zaboru and the Zankoku band. The track, shrouded in secrecy, hasn't even been officially released, adding even more intrigue to the whole spectacle. Zaboru has announced that the song will drop at the end of the month, which has only heightened anticipation both among music lovers and WWF fans.
One thing is crystal clear—WWF fans can't get enough of Zabo-man. His sudden arrival, electrifying presence, and now a brand-new theme song have left audiences hungry for more. Everyone is hoping Zabo-man becomes a recurring force in the WWF's future.
