Practice: Daryl/Joey-Elton/ Patrick: 1 punk_wrestler2000

Elton and Patrick were working out at the local gym. They wanted some time to practice their new finishing moves and not be observed by other wrestlers.

They had started their workout in the weight room Elton had shown Patrick some good strength training exercises. He knew Patrick was rugged and well on his way to being ripped, but Patrick still needed some work.

Elton's dark skin glistened with sweat as he spotted for Patrick. The two wrestlers had become fast friends over the recent weeks. They trained together at every opportunity.

They had even tried a tag match against Corwin and Drew for practiced and had their heads handed to them. But both Elton and Patrick liked the tag team wrestling. They needed to get better at it.

As they were working out Joey and Daryl entered the weight room.

Both teens nodded a greeting to each other. They were not friends, but they were not enemies either. They had battled a while back to a thirty minute draw. Both rough rugged boys had fought hard, but could not secure a victory.

Elton and Daryl were roughly the same size. Both had hard well-developed almost eight pack abs. Both had big broad shoulders, muscular legs and a broad chest. They were two of the premier powerhouse middleweights. Daryl may have had Elton on bicep size, but it was close.Elton set the weights down and moved to shake hands with Daryl. The two teen's eyes issued a silent challenge. Elton and Daryl wanted to get it on in the gym.

Daryl smiled slightly. He was a loner but he had taken a liking to Elton during their hard fought match. The kid was a tough fair fighter.

"So how bout it, Daryl? A little one on one?" Elton asked as he glanced at Patrick and Joey.

Patrick quickly spoke up, "Hey Elton, why not a little tag match. We're all friends and we are evenly matched. Let's hone our skills on these losers." Patrick ducked as he said it. He knew Joey and Daryl were not losers. Patrick also knew Joey from school.

Joey quickly gripped Patrick in a headlock and drove him to the floor. "Come on, Patty boy, fight me." Joey said laughing as Patrick struggled to extradite himself from Joey's headlock.

Elton and Daryl both thought it was a good idea. It would give all four of them a chance to work out.

Joey let Patrick up and started to get to his feet. Patrick shot a hard fist to Joey's stomach. Joey just flexed and smiled. "Boy, you know I can take anything you can throw."

Patrick slammed another punch to Joey's ripped abdominal muscles.

Joey and Patrick were ready to get into it right now. The two guys had been practice partners in high school before Joey had moved to a different district.

Elton agreed to the tag match. He and Patrick had already rented ring time. They would not be disturbed and could practice tag wrestling or singles wrestling for the next couple hours.

Daryl and Joey offered to pay part of the ring time. Elton declined and said, "Our payment will be when we whip your asses."

Daryl grinned and flexed his big hard baseball size biceps. "Man with no referee, this could get rough. Sure you boys are up to this kind of workout?"

Elton nodded. He was not worried about Joey and Daryl cheating or working them over. He knew it would be for fun and practice, but he also knew all four could take whatever the others dished out.

"We can handle it, can you and Pretty Boy?" Elton said trying to provoke Joey and Daryl, good naturedly

The four rough tough teen wrestlers headed for the ring. All four wanted to get down to the business of wrestling.

Patrick and Elton had learned a valuable lesson from Corwin and Drew. That being how to double team.

There was no question about who had who. Patrick would take Joey and Elton would take Daryl.

The four guys stepped into the ring.

Daryl and Elton stepped center mat. Elton flexed his abdominals and challenged Daryl to an exchange of gutpunches. Daryl nodded and flexed his biceps. "You're on."

Elton planted his feet and placed his hands on his hips. "Take your best shot."

Daryl grinned and laid two hard fists to Elton's ripped abs. Elton took the powerful shots without so much as a grunt.

Daryl was impressed. He now stood hands on hips and readied to take Elton's punches.

Elton planted his feet and swung two brutal uppercut punches to Daryl's solid stomach.

Daryl's abs took the hard shots.Both teens grinned as their abs held up under the brutal power of each other.

Daryl and Elton stepped back satisfied they were both tough. Elton said, "All right, let's wrestle."

Daryl raised his hands for a contest of strength. Elton stepped forward and the two black muscleboys locked their fingers together. Joey and Patrick exchanged nods and stood back and watched.

Their powerful backs and shoulders ripped with raw muscle power as the two gladiators tried to muscle each other to their knees. Their chest slammed together as neither teen could get the advantage.

Daryl was impressed that Elton was as strong as he looked. Daryl felt Elton change his grip and pull him forward. Daryl tightened his abs. He knew what was coming. Elton slammed a hard knee to Daryl's flexed abdominals.

Daryl grunted but did not go down. Elton drove another knee to Daryl's gut, then dropped to his back and flipped the muscleboy over his head and to the mat.

Both teens scampered to their feet, and faced off.

They locked up collar and elbow. Daryl had some momentum and forced Elton back to the corner. He released the lock up and slammed a mean right uppercut to Elton's stomach.

Elton grunted loudly, not expecting the blow. Daryl hooked his head and flipped him to the canvas. Daryl hit the ropes and went for an elbow drop. Elton rolled clear and Daryl hit the mat.

Elton stood and drove a hard kick to Daryl's stomach. Daryl let out a grunt. Elton drove a second and third kick into Daryl's gut.

Elton rolled Daryl to his stomach and lifted him from the mat. He dropped Daryl over his knee in a gutbuster. Daryl grunted.

Elton let Daryl slide to the mat. He reached down and locked the muscleboy in a full nelson and walked him towards Patrick.

Patrick took the tag and stepped through the ropes. He nailed Daryl with a right left combination to the lower belly. Elton released the hold and he and Patrick whipped Daryl to the ropes. Daryl ricocheted back and was double back body dropped. Patrick and Elton each hit the ropes and dropped elbows to Daryl's chest and stomach.

Elton stepped out of the ring. Patrick rolled Daryl to his stomach and cinched in a double hammerlock. Daryl grunted as his arms were yanked to the center of his back.

"Come on Patrick. Work his arms over." Elton shouted from their corner.

Patrick felt like a he-man as he held Daryl submissive in the center of the ring.

Patrick locked Daryl's wrists with one hand. He stood and drove a knee to Daryl's back. Daryl grunted.

Joey had watched long enough He shot through the ropes and hit Patrick with a clothesline.

When Elton started in Joey retreated to his corner. Joey had done his job. Patrick was knocked off Daryl and to the canvas. Daryl sat up and shook his arms. Daryl climbed to his feet before Patrick got to his. He closed in on the middleweight.

Patrick saw Daryl advancing and quickly stood up. Patrick crouched into a wrestler's stance and prepared to lock up with Daryl.

The two teens locked up and Daryl quickly whipped Patrick into a side headlock. Daryl drug Patrick over to an anxious Joey.

Joey entered the ring and while Daryl held Patrick wide-open drove three hard fists to the teen's gut. Patrick felt the blows, but not as bad as he had first feared. His abs had held up. Daryl continued to hold Patrick in the head lock. He bent the teen over and Joey slammed two knee lifts to the teen's stomach. Daryl released the headlock and stepped out of the ring.

Joey whipped Patrick to the ropes and greeted him with a knee to the gut. Patrick grunted and dropped to the mat. Joey lifted him and went to whip him again to the ropes. Patrick reversed the move sending Joey into Elton's waiting arms.

Joey hit the ring post back first. He felt Elton lock his arms and hold him erect in the corner.

Patrick waded in and powered ten hard fists to Joey's stomach. Joey started to feel them by the tenth one. Elton released his arms and Patrick gripped Joey's head and bull dogged him to the mat.

Joey was dazed. Patrick did not wait for him to get up he helped him up. Patrick then lifted Joey and power bombed him to the canvas. Joey arched up and Patrick leveled him with a double stomp to the gut.

Joey winced as the 160 pounds compressed his rock hard abs.

"Come on Patrick, finish him off." Elton called from the corner.

Patrick rolled Joey to his stomach and cinched in a camel clutch. He cranked mightily on Joey's neck.

Joey grunted, but was not about to submit. When Joey refused to submit, Patrick released the hold and pulled the winded teen to his feet. He walked him over to Elton. Patrick tagged Elton and they whipped Joey to the ropes. They buried their knees deep into Joey's stomach on the rebound. Joey flipped over their knees and landed on his back. Joey was breathing hard.

Patrick stepped out of the ring and Elton took over.

Elton lifted Joey from the canvas and pressed him over his head. Elton then body slammed Joey hard to the mat. Joey rolled toward Daryl. Elton saw what was happening and dove to stop the tag. Joey barely touched Daryl's hand.

Elton backed off as the tag was made.

Elton and Daryl circled. Both were leery about a lock up. Elton moved forward and Daryl lambasted him with a foot to the lower belly. Elton stopped in his tracks.

Daryl leapt in the air and struck Elton with a standing drop kick. Elton backpedaled to his corner and tagged Patrick.

Patrick and Elton had a brief confab and Patrick moved to meet Daryl.

Patrick watched Daryl. When Daryl started to approach Patrick leapt in the air and took Daryl down to the mat with a flying head scissors. He and Elton had practiced this move a lot.

Daryl felt himself being whipped down to the mat. He felt Patrick's powerful legs wrap around his head.

Daryl ended up flat on his stomach as Patrick drove him to the mat. Daryl's head was locked tight between Patrick's muscular quads.

Joey whistled as Patrick took control of Daryl. His friend had indeed been practicing.

Daryl tried to get to his hands and knees, but Patrick increased the pressure of his head scissors and whipped him back to the canvas. Daryl was impressed by the move and Patrick's leg strength.

Patrick maneuvered Daryl to his back but maintained the head scissors. Elton shot through the ropes and dropped a hard fast elbow to Daryl's wide-open belly. Daryl grunted as the powerful elbow tore into his abs.

Patrick reached back and started dropping hard fists to Daryl's gut. Daryl could not see the punches coming, so he could not flex. The gutblasts were taking his wind.

Elton again slipped through the ropes and dropped another elbow to Daryl's stomach.

As Elton slipped out Joey slipped in. He charged Patrick and leveled the boy with a shoulder block.

Patrick's powerful head scissors was broken as Joey drove him to the mat. Joey rolled Patrick to his back and delivered two hard fists to his gut. Patrick gasped.

Joey quickly slipped out of the ring.

Daryl was still on his back and breathing hard. Patrick and Elton had worked him over. Daryl rolled and saw Patrick down. He climbed to his feet and went after the downed teen. Patrick was just reaching to tag Elton when Daryl gripped his leg and pulled him to the center of the ring.

Daryl rolled Patrick to his back, gripped his legs and landed two hard stomps to Patrick's stomach. Patrick grunted as Daryl stomped his gut. Daryl then pulled Patrick over towards Joey.

Joey had climbed to the top rope. When Daryl tagged him he leapt off driving his knee deep into Patrick's stomach.

Patrick yelled out as his gut was busted hard.

Elton winced at the power of the blow to his friend's torso. He knew that had to hurt.

Daryl released Patrick's legs and the teen lie limp on the mat.

Joey stood and pulled Patrick to his feet. He locked the tough teen in an abdominal stretch.

Patrick yelled out as his bruised abs took more of a working over. Had Joey not just busted his gut with the off the top rope maneuver he would have been able to hold on.

Elton could see Joey had Patrick ready to submit. He slipped through the ropes but was met by Daryl.

Daryl launched a drop kick that caught Elton flush in the chest. Elton stumbled back to the corner. Daryl followed him in and slugged two hard fists to Elton's tough abs.

Elton grunted and slugged Daryl back. Once again they were caught up exchanging gut punches.

All the while Joey was stretching Patrick's abs relentlessly.

Patrick had his eyes closed as he tried to fight the pain. Finally he could take no more. "I submit."

Joey quickly released the hold and lower Patrick gently to the mat.

Daryl and Elton stopped wailing on each other's abs and moved over to join Patrick and Joey.Patrick was hugging his stomach.Joey gently rolled Patrick to his back. "Here, relax." Joey said as he pulled Patrick's hands away.

Joey gently massaged Patrick's sore abdominal muscles. "I learned this from my coach. I was always complaining because my abs take such a beating in a match. He showed me how to work the muscles and relieve the pain."

Patrick winced at first, but after a couple minutes he relaxed as Joey's hands gently worked his sore abs.

Daryl and Elton were discussing how good the match had been. Both of the big guys had, had a blast.

Patrick noticed Joey had a gentle touch. He laid back and closed his eyes as his friend gently massaged his sore and bruised abs.

After ten minutes Patrick was surprised by the relief he felt. He was ready to wrestle some more.

All four guys had, had enough for today. The tag match had been tough, but friendly.

As they headed for the showers Elton invited Joey and Daryl to join them for a bite to eat. Joey and Daryl accepted. It was fun to have guys to practice with, and do so at a competitive pace.

"Hey Daryl." Patrick said.

Daryl tuned to face Patrick.

"Think you and Joey could spare some time for Jessie and Jack? They could really use some extra help." Patrick asked. He knew Corwin and Drew really did not like the jobber tag team. "Sean and Jeff have been assisting them, but they need to learn from other guys."

Daryl nodded. "Sure, I would be happy to give them a hand and some lessons. Dane, Pat and I have helped a few guys along. Tell them Sunday morning at Dane's house. You guys can join in if you like. We wrestle and horse around after the training."

Patrick nodded a thank you. "Tell you what, after training we can head to my house. I got a pool."

Daryl smiled, "Now that I could get into after a hard training session."

Joey was nodding agreement.

The four guys showered and headed to grab a bite to eat. After they ate they all went back to Patrick's for a swim.

More wrestling followed in the pool and on the lawn. Joey and Patrick watched as Elton and Daryl tried power moves on each other. The two big middleweights seemed to have struck a fast friendship.

What Joey and Patrick did not know, was Elton and Daryl were plotting. A couple of matches had taken place that both teens were upset about and wanted to see scrapped from the TW roster.

Neither, Elton or Daryl had ever said anything, but it had bothered them both. They struck a pact that if it happened again, they would resolve the issue with the offending party.

The rest of the evening passed quickly as the four MW wrestlers messed around at Pat's house.
