Daryl vs Joey , a prologue jimsub81

Daryl walked to his locker which was in the next aisle over from where Toby, Matt and Keegan were laughing and talking about the evenings events. All had won thier respective matches and were in good spirits. Daryl was a loner by habit and chose not to associate with the other wrestlers much. It wasn't that he didn't like them...well, some he didn't like at all but anyway he had a sence of arrogance about himself. He took a great deal of pride in his physique and rightly so. He had a totally ripped bod from head to toes. Daryl was only casually evesdropping when he heard the subject of bodies come up. He then listened more closely and heard the following exchange:

Matt: Talk about bods. Did you guys see that new kid in the orange speedo? Joey I thinks his name.

Toby: Man that dude is RIPPED, and hes only 15??..MAN! I wish I could have tone like that, I just don't have the patience.

Keegan: Kid's definately built even won tonight but not sure if hes got what it takes.

Matt: Guess we'll just have to wait an see what hes got, but I know one thing, he's got muscle.Toby: Yeah I'll bet even Daryl wasn't as buff when he was 15.

Now Daryl really listened when he name was mentioned. The conversation went on.....

Keegan: Better not let Daryl hear you say that.

(they all chucked at that )

Matt: Anyway, Toby's right I bet this Joey kid is buffer than Daryl was at that age. And if he keeps it up he'll probably be at least as good as Daryl is now if not better.

Daryl was now fuming. No way was this Joey kid even in the same league as himself. The mear fact that the topic was even being discussed angered the well built African am erican. He had been a winner in this league long before Joey even thought of joining. He decided then and there to put this upstart pup in his place.

Joey then entered the locker room. He was filled with boyish enthusiam at having made the league and fresh off his second victory (albeit against jobbers) he was excited. Already the fans liked him. He too was proud of his body and wanted to make it better. Joey then saw his idol Daryl, glaring at him. Joey admired the 18 year olds great body and wanted nothing more than to be like him. With almost little boy adoration he approached Daryl. "Hey Daryl, great match", he said. "Like you would know", replied Daryl in a low tone. "What'd ya mean Daryl? All I said was...." "I heard what you said blondie. And I said 'like you would know'. You have no idea about this stuff. You beat a couple of chumps and you think your somethin? You're a zero here. GOT THAT!?" Joey was completely stunned not having any idea what he had done to get on the big guy's wrong side. "Listen Daryl....". "No", said Daryl,"YOU listen, First, stop callin me by my name you got no right to use it. Second, stop trying to make nice with me. I ain't your friend I ain't your big brother. I am YOU WORST NIGHTMARE!!...you got that blondie?" Joey felt a lump in his throat and decided to try to back out of this gracefully. "Ok didn't mean anything by it. I'm just gonna grab my stuff and go." Joey turned to reach for his duffel bag. "Don't you turn your back on me CHUMP!", said Daryl grabbing Joey by the shoulder an spinning him back to face him eyes just inches apart. Daryl slowly spoke, "Next week it'll be you and me and thats all. We'll see how well you do against a real man. Got it..CHUMP?!" Joey saw that Matt,Toby, Keegan and a few others had watched the whole encounter and knew he had no choice but to accept the challange. "OK...next week" was all he said. "I'll make the arrangements", said Daryl. At that Darly shoved the younger boy into the lockers as he pushed past him. The room was still silent and the onlookers broke up. A scared Joey caught the sympathetic gaze of Keegan. Keegan just made a silent "Whew" ,shook his head and walked back to his locker. Joey heard someone say in the distance "Glad I'm not him". The coming week was the longest in Joey's young life.

News of last Saturday's encounter between Daryl and Joey had spread like wild fire. The crowd was fired up to see the match as it was always a good show when the big body builder Daryl was involved. To say Joey had butterflies in his stomach would be an understatement. He tried to clear his head when he was introduced. The announcer said,"First, entering the ring at 15 years of age standing five feet ten inches tall and weighing 160 pounds ...JOEY!!". Clad in his skimpy orange bikini he ran into the ring. He had made a lot of fans but his popularity was nothing compared to his opponent so he got a few more boos than he was accustomed to. He waited for Daryl to appear. The announcer went, "And now..entering the arena is his opponent, at 18 years of age, standing six feet tall and weighing 192 pounds, here he is.....DARYL!" The crowd went nuts they loved the built African am erican mainly because he seemed to hate EVERYONE equally. He was the true lone wolf of the league. Daryl stepped through the ropes not even bothering to acknowledge the cheers he was being given. The two met at the center of the ring to get their instructions. Both wrestlers stared at each other but Darly was winning the test of wills and saw fear in the younger boy's eyes. They touched fists and when the bell rang Daryl came out fighting, hard and fast.

Most matches started with a lock up which is what Joey expected. Daryl started things off with a hard forearm followed by three more to the youngster's head. Joey staggered back ,stunned. Daryl grabed him and threw him into the ropes and delivered a perfect clothesline connecting with Joey's upper chest and sending him down hard. He then scooped up the blond boy and body slammed him. This he followed up with an elbow drop to the belly. Joey groaned and actually had little idea what was going on at the moment. But Daryl was not about to let up. He hauled the boy up by the ears and slammed him in the gut with a hard fist. Joey bucked a bit but didn't fall and Daryl had to admit to himself that Joey was a well put together kid who had worked hard on his body. With a hard backhand chop to the chest he knocked Joey back to an upright position and quickly fired another punch to the lower abs. Joey's knees again buckeled but he stayed standing. The older teen then grabbed Joey's arm and whipped him into the turnbuckles. Joey sagged a bit with his arms on the upper ropes. Daryl then leaped at his target but Joey ducked just in time and Darly smashed himself into the turnbuckles. A weakened Joey then drove a knee into Daryl's back only to see it have little effect on the ripped teen. Daryl turned to face Joey and the younger boy threw a forearm smash into Daryl's hard chest..

Daryl seemed not to even notice the blows and proceeded to deliver a wicked kick to Joey's gut. The fifteen year old gasped and doubled over holding his belly. Daryl showed no mercy and picked up the kid as if he were a sack of flour and body slammed him again. Daryl then stomped the prone Joey in the chest 4 times and dropped a knee to the lower belly. He then hoisted the boy up and tossed him into the ropes. Another perfect clothesline to the blond's chest sent him slamming backward hard onto the mat. Daryl again pulled Joey up but as he did Joey am azingly fired two quick jabs to Daryl's torso. The blows had no effect but it was am azing to all watching that Joey could muster ANYTHING after what he had already gone through. Daryl silenced the feeble attack with a gut punch of his own. This time Daryl felt the younger boy's ab muscles give a bit more and knew they were ready to break. He tossed Joey into the ropes again and on the rebound he threw a knee into Joey's gut. Joey flipped over the knee and landed on his butt. Daryl followed up with a half nelson pulling Joey up again. He then fired Joey into the ropes again and as Joey rebounded Daryl caught him in a bear hug. Daryl's strong arms crushed Joey's beaten chest and gut into Daryl's hard body. Joey's face had a look of agony as he crained his head back. Daryl then lifted Joey up and slammed him down in a belly to belly suplex crushing the kid between his own rock hard bod and the canvas. As he got off the crushed boy he fired another hard punch to the lower belly just above his bikini top. The fist sunk deep that time and Joey moaned. Daryl prepared to finish off the kid with a flying body drop. But as he reached the top rope he turned to see Joey actually struggling to his feet. On wobbly legs Joey turned to face Daryl. He knew Daryl could smash him at any moment but was going to take it like like a man. For his part Daryl had beaten Joey like nobody else he had ever fought and still the kid stood to take more. Joey's body from groin to neck was beaten bright red. A new found respect for the tough kid overcame Daryl who climbed down off the ropes (much to the dismay of the audience). Daryl walked over to Joey looked him in the eye and took him down quickly and painlesly then rolled him up in a small packege and got the easy three count. Daryl was announced the victor and as he was leaving the ring he saw Joey on his knees , hands on his thighs , panting and beaten. Their eyes met and Daryl gave Joey an ever so slight nod of approval then quickly left the ring.
