Joey Vs Zack...I jimsub81

Things at TW had really been flying lately and Joey wanted to be part of it. He was a fan favorite but had not wrestled in a few weeks. He wanted to change that. He was tired of all the sneaky matches. He knew they were part of the sport but right now he craved nothing more than a good honest match with a worthy and honest opponent. Zack had almost the exact same feelings. The two of them met up and began o talk about how they disliked some of the cheating and turcoating. It made the fans happy and thus was sometimes necessary but since each of them wanted a good clean bout they agreed to wrestle each other.

Following the Heavyweight match the announcer began, "Our next match is a middleweight contest. First standing 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing in at 160 pounds... JOEY!" Despite have much more ring time than Zack his 5 & 3 record caused him to be introduced first. Zack had but two matches to his credit but both were wins. The audience loved the cute, well built, muscleteen. And he bounded into the ring with his usual exuberance and wide grin. "And, his opponent, standing 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing in at 166 pounds... ZACK!" Zack too got a warn reception. He was well built and from what fans had seen of him they had liked a lot. They faced off for instructions. As the bell rang they shook hands and began the match...

They came out Zack smiled and offered Joey his hands in a strength test. Joey smiled too as he accepted. Both boy's muscles bulged in their arms and shoulders. Zack did not have the look of Joey but he was deceptively strong. Their hands pressed harder together and the smiles faded a bit. Neither could gain an advantage. After about a minuet and a half both young faces were bright red as they were truly struggling to bring the other down. After another half minuet Zack's wrists began to bend, just a little. But Joey felt it and he reached down for just a little more and bent Zack's wrists. Once the end was inevitable Zack went down quickly not wanting to waste energy in a lost cause. Joey released the grip and allowed Zack to get up. The audience clapped at the impressive display both boys had shown.

They closed again and Zack surprised Joey with a quick leg take down. Joey hit chest first and Zack hopped onto his back cinching on a front face lock. The referee got down to see if it was a choke hold but could see clearly it was not. Joey felt Zack's strength smashing into his nose and mouth. He wiggled but Zack was firmly planted on his back. Joey knew he had to get out of the hold soon. He managed to draw up his knees and got himself to a hands and knees position. Zack continued to apply pressure to his hold. Joey struggled to get to his feet. Once there he fell backward crushing Zack between him and the canvas. Zack grunted and released the face lock. Joey moved to the ropes to rub his hurting nose and lips. But when he saw Zack moving to get up he bounced off the ropes and came down with an elbow to the stomach. Joey could feel the firmness of Zack's abs and was duly impressed. Joey hopped up and came back down with another elbow this time to the chest. He was up again fast and came down again but he went to that well once too often and Zack rolled away and Joey elbowed the canvas.

As Joey rolled away Zack connected with a well placed stomp to Joey's ripped abs. Joey held in a grunt as Zack delivered another to the same spot. Zack went to hammer home yet another but, just like Joey and the elbow drops, Zack tried the same move one too many times and Joey read it. He grabbed Zack's foot just before it hit. He gave the foot a quick twist and Zack was forced to spin with it. He fell face down and Joey held onto the foot and positioned himself so he was sitting on Zack's butt while twisting his ankle. Zack was in obvious pain but refused to submit when asked. Zack managed to pull himself toward the ropes close enough to grasp them. He did and the ref ordered the hold broken.

They made a clean break and they turned to hook up again. Zack was putting weight gingerly the foot Joey had just worked over. Little did Joey know it was all a ploy. As they closed Joey was totally unprepared for the sudden lunge from the boy he thought had a hurt foot. Zack rammed a powerful shoulder into Joey's hard chest knocking him back into a corner. Zack's onrushing weight slammed into him and drove the breath from his lungs. Joey hung limp in the corner and Zack took full advantage. He rammed home three strong knee drives into Joey's stomach. Joey sagged down the corner a little and Zack sent a pointed boot into Joey's navel area. He sagged down to an almost sitting position after the second kick. Zack then came down on the same spot with a power punch. Joey had some hard abs but the working over they were taking from Zack was affecting them. When Zack came down with another power packed punch he felt his knuckles penetrate into Joey's belly.

Zack didn't want to repeat the mistake of using the same move too often so he grabbed Joey under his armpits and lifted him up into a perfect suplex. The single day of training with Ian and Gabriel and Timon had paid off as he took Ian's advice on performing the move. Joey crashed hard onto his back. Zack bounced off the ropes and dropped a leg across Joey's chest and covered him. The ref barely got to a two count before Joey kicked out with more than a little authority. Joey's ability to take a ton of punishment and still keep going was now almost legendary in TW and now Zack understood why, the kid wasn't too bright but he was strong as hell! Zack pulled Joey up and raised a big knee into his now red belly doubling him over. A quick chop to the chest straightened Joey up and Zack went to whip him into the corner. But, amazingly, Joey reversed the move and Zack's strong chest went slamming into the turnbuckles.

Zack rested against the corner for just a moment but Joey acted fast by throwing all his 160 pounds into a body block that crushed Zack against the buckles. Joey backed up and fired a spearing knee into the small of the back. Zack grunted as Joey reached down to pick Zack up in a crotch slam. But Zack felt what Joey was going for and managed to hop over Joey and land behind him before Joey could get a good grip. A surprised Joey turned around to face the tricky Zack who promptly greeted the handsome blonde with a hard fist to the gut. Joey flinched as Zack packed a wallop. But Joey had something to show too and fired a punch to Zack's hard abs. Zack staggered a little but held his footing and shot a forearm block to Joey's chest. Joey went back a few feet and was in perfect position to land his standing drop kick that caught Zack in the sternum and put him to the canvas!

Joey grabbed both of Zack's feet spreading them wide and stomped the boy's hard stomach muscle. After four stomps Joey went to turn the hold into a figure four. But Zack would have none of that as he planted a boot into Joey's orange bikini clad ass and shoved him into the ropes. Joey hit chest first and came bouncing off wildly trying to stay on his feet. Zack positioned himself so as he could cut Joey's knees out from under him and once again he had Joey on his back. Zack whipped a wide arching arm over and whacked Joey across the chest before he got up. Zack bounced off the ropes and went for the body splash but Joey was still way to in the match for that move and he easily avoided it. Zack did a belly flop onto the canvas winding himself!

Joey took full advantage by dropping an elbow to Zack's back. He was up fast and came down with a knee to the same area of the back. Zack grunted and Joey hopped up in the air coming down with his bubble butt onto Zack's lower back. He grabbed Zack's feet and cinched in a perfect Boston crab! Joey pulled back and Zack reached for the ropes. He was nowhere near them. The previous hits to his back had done some damage and that was now evident as Joey poured on the pressure. Zack felt his back cramping up and the pain was incredible. He hated to do it but he tapped out his submission. The referee ordered the bell rung and Joey immediately released the hold. Joey was announced as the winner to the whistles and cheers of the crowd.Zack had got to a sitting position and Joey looked over to him. Zack looked very sad as he felt he put up a good fight. Joey realized it was just the luck of the draw that put him in a position to execute the crab. He knew all too well that Zack could have just as easily won the bout. Joey reached over and offered Zack a hand up. Zack still looked depressed but he accepted. "That was one hell of a performance Zack. I was real lucky to beat you." Zack smiled at last. He had wanted a fair fight and he had got it. "You know Joey, I've heard about your ability to take a licking and keep going but now I've seen it first hand. You are one tough SOB! Thanks for the match, but I want to take you on again!" Joey continued his sincere smiling and said, "Love to Zack. Its always fun to wrestle a fair match." They gave each other another hug and walked together to the locker room.
