Cody vs Steve sutekh222000
No one in TW had more to prove than Cody. Long thought as an invincible champion, and for quite some time the only heavweight champ in league history, he hadn't felt the same since losing the title.
It had taken a beating from Dane to soften Cody up for his loss to Roby. But then the crowd didn't know that. All they saw was a quick and relatively easy win for Roby. Cody had looked like a wimp. That ate him up inside, he knew he should have retained the title.
That anger caused Cody to issue an open contract to any heavyweight. The challenge had been taken up by Steve. Recently returning to the singles ranks after his partner Rob departed for college, Steve wanted a big win to start his singles run. He also knew that Cody was vulnerable. Not phyiscally but mentally.
Tensions were high in the TW locker room. This was the first card in nearly two weeks. The commissioners had directly told all the wrestlers that any cheating or interference would not be tolerated in the slightest. Some of the heels were fuming about this new crack down, but there was little they could do at the moment.
Steve entered the ring in black trunks. He had considered his usual red, white, and blue attire, but considered it might be in bad taste. Although a newer wrestler Steve was no slouch in the build department.Cody stalked to the ring. No trace of expression was on his face as the ref explained the rules and the bell rang
Steve sneered at Cody as the bell rang. He shot a quick side biceps posed and laughed. "Hope you're ready for another ass kicking Cody" Steve taunted. Cody tried to clear his mind of the self doubt he was feeling and concentrate on the task at hand.
The two teens locked up collar and elbow. Cody slipped behind Steve while holding his right arm. Steve winced at the hammerlock. "You give up" the ref asked. Both boys looked at him like he was nuts. The ref was new, and hadn't seen any hard fought TW matches yet.
The distraction gave Steve a chance. He brought his left leg back and tripped up Cody. He grabbed Cody's ankle and twisted it into a painful anklelock.
Codyu felt his ankle being snapped. Before that could happen, he made it to the bottom ropes. Steve used the ropes for leverage leaped up, and smashed his knee into Cody's left leg. Cody howled in pain. He was dragged back to the center of the ring.
Again grabbing the leg, Steve dropped an elbow onto it. He then went for a figure four leglock. Wisely Cody kicked Steve into the corner.Cody staggered up and spun Steve to face him. Cody rammed his shoulder repeatedly into Steve's abs. After ten thrusts he whipped Steve into the opposite buckle and followed him with a clothesline. As Steve staggered Cody moved behind him. He charged, gripping Steve's head in a side headlock and bulldogging him to the mat. 1880 of 2809
Cody got to his feet and circled his foe. Waiting until Steve staggered up, Cody reared behind him and got Steve into a painful abdominal stretch. He poured on the pressure to Steve's ripped abs.
Steve began to black out. Before he was totally beaten, he took a short step back and heaved Cody over the top rope and to the arena floor with a hip toss. Cody's right shoulder hit the floor hard.
Steve pursued him, tossing Cody back into the ring. He slammed his fist into the weakened shoulder. Lifting Cody up for a powerslam, Steve instead used a shoulderbreaker. He was sure he heard the sound of bone being crushed. Steve smiled to himself.
He lifted Cody up and gutbusted him. Cody was pulled to his feet and hit with a standing dropkick that sent him sprawling. Steve mounted the top rope. As Cody got up, Steve leaped, nailing him flush on the jaw with a clothesline. Cody was finished.
Steve hauled him up. He lifted Cody into another powerslam position. This time he slid Cody down, locking his head in Steve's quads. He crashed down, tombstoning Cody's head to the mat. Steve covered Cody and the ref counted to three.
Steve had his arm raised in victory. Cody meanwhile, wondered what he had to do to snap this losing streak.
