HW Title Match:The Preliminaries: Part 1 punk_wrestler2000
The time had come for Cody to defend his jacket. The question foremost on the Commissioner's minds was who the Title defensive would be against.
Dane was to get a shot, but his recent defeat by the new-comer Rob, had moved Dane out of the picture.
But then again on closer inspection of the individual records, there were two others more deserving of a title shot then Dane.
Having the two top contenders face each other then wrestle Cody, would alert Cody to his upcoming title defense.
They decided to have a three way thrash. The top two contenders and Cody all would be in the ring at the same time.
The rules would be the same, except it would be the last man standing who took possession of the coveted Title Jacket.
The bout would be similar to a tag bout, with only two wrestlers in the ring at once, but they would have the option of tagging in and out to the third man.
The Commissioners knew there was no love loss between the three heavy weight wrestlers. So there would be no hidden alliances. Just hard hitting action. All three would go at one another hard.
They glanced at the individual records. Cody, though suddenly cocky and arrogant had the best record in TW. He had proven his worth as TW HW Champ.
But in recent weeks the heavy weight division had added some powerhouse teens. among them were Scott, Ryan, Anton, Rob, Bastian and Brian. It appeared after months of waiting the HW division was filling out.
No matter who won this match, it was doubtful the winner would retain the Title long.
The three commissioners finalized their plans for the HW match then summoned the three teens to the office.
Pat was the first to arrive. He had a good record at 4-2, but his two loses were to Cody.
Rusty arrived next. He and Pat had at one time been cohorts in Kevin's posse. Rusty's record stood at 4-1.
Rusty and Pat glared at each other. Both teens had a score to settle, but as yet had not been able to get a match signed. Other challenges kept arising.
Last to swagger into the office was the Champ. Cody entered with his new cocky demeanor and a big chip on his shoulder. Since he had been suspended he had gotten even more belligerent.
"Gentlemen, please have a seat and we will explain why we summoned you three here this morning."
The three muscular teens each took a seat and waited to hear what was on the agenda.
"Next Saturday evening we will have a three way match to decide the Heavy weight Championship. Rusty and Pat have the best overall records next to yours, Cody. Instead of having preliminary matches to decide the top contender, we are going to have one match. All three of you will be in the ring, but only two at a time will fight. You will have the option to tag the third man in, and let him take over as you exit the ring."
Cody's face registered shock as he looked from Pat to Rusty. He knew how this would go down. They would beat the hell out of him, eliminating him, than battle each other for his title.
Cody stood to his feet. "This ain't fair. It will be two on one the entire match. They will try and take me out."
"SIT DOWN and SHUT UP, CODY. You have avoided a rematch with Pat and giving Rusty a title shot for weeks. We decided to make the choice for you. Either take the match or relinquish your title."
Cody was now angry. He glared at pat and Rusty. "I will whip you both."
Pat and Rusty nodded but said nothing. Their actions would speak for themselves in the ring.
Cody turned back to the commissioners. "This isn't fair. I bet this is because I walked out on Dane. Admit it, this is your way of getting back at me. Well good luck. Next Saturday I will be walking out of here, still TW champ."
Cody grabbed the pen from the Commissioner's hand and signed the contract. He stormed out the door.
Cody knew he had to do some fast work if he were to insure a victory over Pat and Rusty next Saturday.
It was time to call in some long over due favors.
Back in the office, Pat and Rusty shook hands. Both were getting what they wanted, just not how they had wanted it. Both teens signed the contract and headed off there own way. Both had visions of being the next TW HW Champ.
They had five days to get ready for the big match.
As Cody left the arena he thought about the downward spiral his career in TW had taken since he left Dane to be whipped in the ring by HB and Kane. He had forsaken the best friend he had ever had, and for what? One misunderstood comment.
Cody had also beaten the hell out of Corwin, Drew and Daryl in the parking lot. He had really burned all his bridges behind him. He knew he had nowhere to turn. He would be stuck facing Rusty and Pat, alone.
As he started his truck, Cody knew now joining up with the Posse had been a big mistake. One he would have to rectify in the very near future. He only hoped his friends could forgive him for his mistakes.
Cody was still sore from the tag match against Rob and Dane and the NHB match against Rob.
Cody wondered if five days would be enough time to be one hundred percent for this three way thrash match.
Rusty on the other hand was in the best shape of his career. He had been working out hard and it showed. His abs were rippled, his muscles were pumped, Rusty was more then ready to face Pat and Cody.
Pat was also ready. His last victory had been over Rob, who Dane told him had manhandled Cody in an after hours match. Pat knew now was the time to strike and take the HW Jacket from the current chump. All he had to do was whip Rusty.
Pat knew he would train hard over the next few days. He did not want to blow another opportunity to be the Champ.
The hype of the upcoming match spread through the TW arena like wildfire.
