Martin vs Keegan...Part 1 jimsub81

Martin had been the subject of a lot of talk since first joining the league. He had one of the top five best bodies off all the wrestlers. He had the classic broad chest and shoulders and the narrow waist. But he was as yet unproven in the ring. He just could never manage to secure a match before the card was filled. But he was determined to get a match and make his mark. Even though he had no real wrestling ability he thought his natural strength and speed could carry him far. He gave little thought about who he would want a match with and simply concentrated on getting a match. He had not been in the gym where the signings were going on for the next event more than five minutes when he noticed Keegan standing by himself. He knew The strong 17 year old was part of a tag team but also did solos . Martin walked up to him and they began to talk. When Martin found out that Keegan was not going to fight in tag team competition and was looking for a singles match Martin quickly suggested that they sign up to fight each other. Keegan had been impressed with Martin's physique (as had everyone) but felt confident in his own natural strength and the fact that he was a very experienced wrestler. Keegan agreed and the match was ready for next Saturday.

As Martin was waiting for his match the spectacle of Tommy's match with Toby and Kevin's subsequent interference was dying down when Keegan walked past him giving him a friendly slap on his hard back and said , "Ready big guy?" Martin just nodded and got ready to take the ring...."And now our next event. Making his debut. Standing 5 feet 11 inches and weighing in at 170 pounds....MARTIN!!" Martin trotted down the aisle to mixed greetings. Many of the audience were impressed with Martin's body and not being too bad looking either a lot of the girls were naturally drawn to him. He got into the ring and Keegan was introduced. "And..his opponent 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing 174 pounds....KEEGAN!!" A much louder round of applause greeted Keegan as he ran down the aisle. He was seen as an all around good guy and always had time to speak to a fan. Keegan got in the ring and they to stood toe to toe while they were checked and got their referee instructions. The match looked to be an interesting one as the two wrestlers stood next to each other. Martin had much more visible muscle but Keegan , though not ripped, did not look weak in any way...he wasn't! Keegan was a bit shorter and a few pounds heavier giving him a stout look. Keegan's wrestling ability was known but virtually nothing was known about Martin. The bell rang and the match was on...

 The two circled each other cautiously and were a little leary to lock up. Martin decided to give his muscles a chance and offered his hands up to a test of strength. Keegan smiled and thought "what the hell" and took him up. The match up was am azingly equal. Fifteen year old Martin had the muscle but seventeen year old Keegan was just plain strong as an ox and neither could get the advantage. Martin was surprised thinking he would be the easy winner. Keegan was simply having a good time. He loved the sport. The palms of the two boys wee running with sweat and still no edge for either. Keegan reached down for just a bit more and started to bend Martin's wrists just a bit. The crowd was cheering as they had enjoyed the whole contest. Martin grimaced as his wrists went back further. Keegan smiled as he saw himself getting an edge. Slowly Martin was forced down to his knees. Keegan saw he had won and released the grip. Smiling, he offered Martin a hand up. Martin was furious and he saw himself humiliated and now the other guy was offering him assistance. In a fit of rage Martin slapped the hand away and rammed a fist into Keegan's unflexed gut. Keegan immediately doubled over never thinking the younger kid would sucker punch him like that. Now Keegan was angered and as both got to their feet Martin saw a new look in his eyes. It wasn't the same friendly face as he had known. They moved in and locked up collar and elbow. Keegan pushed Martin to the corner and rammed him to the turnbuckles hard. He then gave a heavy knee lift to Martin's hardened abs. It seemed to have little effect but Martin DID feel it. The lock up was released and Keegan grabbed the back of Martin's neck and pushed him forward while sticking out his leg at the same time tripping the youth. As soon a Martin was down Keegan dropped a heavy elbow to his back followed by two more. Martin gripped at his back in pain and Keegan lifted him up and delivered a series of back hand chops to Martin's hard chest. The white skin turned pink as the smacks could be heard all over the arena. Keegan then tossed him into the ropes and stuffed him with a foot to the stomach as he returned. Martin winced and went to his knees. The experience of Keegan was showing early and things looked bad for the muscle boy. Again Keegan picked him up and promptly hip tossed him onto his side. Again tossed him into the ropes and caught him up in a body slam. Martin was dazed and yet still not "out of it". Keegan reached down to raise up Martin again when Martin fired a hard closed fist smash to his chest. He stunned the older boy and struck again to the chest followed by two to the gut. Keegan was reeling from the powerful blows and Martin was on his feet making an impressive comeback as yet another strike to the chest knocked Keegan to the ropes. Martin spun around landing a hard elbow to Keegan's jaw and almost knocked him out. Martin then picked up the stunned Keegan and gave a text book body slam and followed with an elbow drop to the chest. Quickly Martin was up again and dropped a crushing knee to Keegan's belly. Keegan was hurt and rolled to his side and Martin shot a few quick kicks to the small of his back. Keegan rose to his knees and arched his back in pain as Martin came round behind him and put on a full nelson. He lifted Keegan up and plowed him face first into the turnbuckles. Keegan never lost his senses and knew he had to get the strong boy off his back....

  As Martin prepared to ram him again Keegan spun around and practically fell backward crushing Martin into the corner instead. Martin almost immediately let go and Keegan turned on him firing a barrage of punches. Keegan's big fists hammered Martin's well honed chest and gut with tremendous power. Each punch rocked Martin just a bit more till at last Keegan threw one that actually seemed to penetrate the hard abs. Keegan backed off and Martin sagged in the corner. A suplex brought Martin out to the center of the ring again and a body slam further stunned him. Keegan plowed another hard gut punch into Martin's lower abdominals and Martin curled. As the older teen lifted the muscle boy Martin shot a hard punch to Keegan's family jewels. He gasped for breath as the pain spread from his crotch throughout his body causing him to double over. Martin then shot a kick to the chest sending him to his back. The audience was booing like crazy at the dirty tactics of Martin. This wasn't the way Martin had envisioned his career starting but had to go with it now. Martin then gave a short hop and delivered a double knee drop to the gut. Keegan, already gasping, was now almost choking for breath. Martin then picked the aching boy up and tossed him into the ropes catching him with a hard clothesline to the throat and Keegan went down hard. With the crowd still booing Martin climbed the ropes to the top. Keegan was barely moving as Martin dropped an elbow from the top rope that impacted squarely with Keegan's stomach. The rush of air from his lungs was almost audible and Martin lay across the strong body and got the 1..2..3..count. The referee raised his arms as the victor's name was announced. From that point on the mention of the name Martin would get the same response...lot and lots of boos.

When Martin got back to the dressing room he didn't feel like he thought he should. He had won his debut match against a good competitor but a dark pall seemed to be around him. He didn't feel good about the way he had won. But then he felt a hand on his shoulder and a young voice that said,"Hey man, good match. Grats on the win." Martin looked into the young face and just said , "Thanks...aaaahh, sorry I've seen you around but..." The younger boy just smiled and said , "That's, OK man. My name's Kevin. Nice to meet you Martin" Suddenly, for some reason he couldn't explain, Martin didn't feel so bad anymore.
