Rico vs Derek part 1 chrisch234

Rico was elated with his win over Phillip and wanted to continue his winning streak. His plan was to sign a couple more matches with the boys in the TW that were younger, shorter, lighter and preferably rookies. Rico learned quickly in his own rookie match against Ian. Now he wanted to put in practice his new style of wrestling…punishment, work the body, punishment then victory. Rico spotted Derek and sized him up. Rico knew Derek was new and wanted a match. Rico saw that he was taller, older, heavier and more experienced than Derek and wanted this matchup to be his next victory. Both signed for a match. Rico was thinking about how he could destroy Derek and Derek was thinking about his first match in the TW and what exactly he would do in the ring.

The match was announced and Derek was introduced first. He received a moderate reception since he was unknown. At 5'6" weighing 125 pounds is Derek. Then Rico was introduced and had a few supporters but mostly boos. At 5'8" weighing 152 pounds is Rico.Both boys limbered up, was checked by the ref, slapped hands and went to their respective corners awaiting the bell. Rico was confident and Derek tried not to show his nervousness and had butterflies in his stomach having never wrestled in a ring or in front of a crowd.

The bell rang and both boys approached each other for a collar and elbow lockup.

  Both circled once then Rico made the advance to Derek for the collar and elbow lockup when Derek was lined up with a corner. Rico has little trouble backing Derek to the corner. The ref called for a break and Derek's butterflies in the stomach was soon replaced with pain as Rico's fist sunk into his gut. Rico kept Derek up in the corner long enough for 3 forearm smashes to the chest then backed off before he was counted out by the ref. The break was short lived as Rico pulled Derek into a front headlock pulling him out of the corner, lifting a knee into the gut then a suplex to the center of the mats. Derek hit the mats hard, Rico sprung back to his feet and stomped a boot into Derek's open gut. Derek jerked up clutching his gut and rolled on his side. Rico paraded around the ring then pulled Derek up by the hair into a side headlock. Rico tightened the headlock and was pumping the pressure on to slow the blood flow to Derek's head. Derek endured the pressure as long as he could giving him a little more time for the pain in his gut to ease as much as possible. Derek finally had enough and had to get out of this headlock before it took all his strength away. Derek positioned his elbow and drove it backwards into Rico's gut twice as hard as he could to get the headlock released. Rico was stunned as the second elbow caught him in the solar plexus. Derek straightened up, turned and clotheslined Rico onto his back. Derek returned the earlier favor and stomped a boot down hard into Rico's gut. Rico saw the stomp coming and at the last instant tried to flex to ward off some of the effect of the stomp but the shot to the solar plexus prevented him from tightening as much as he wanted to. The stomp drove the air out of him and he was now on the mats clutching his gut.

  Derek was thinking to himself that he could get as rough as Rico but made a rookie mistake of taking the time that Rico was curled up on the mats to recover himself. Derek thought that if he was close to 100% that he could stand a better chance of winning. This only gave Rico the much needed time to get his air back. Derek leaned against the ropes for almost two minutes until the crowd started yelling at him and was turning on him for no action. Rico was still on the mats curled up but had recovered sufficiently to get it on and was playing possum. Derek did not want the crowd to turn on him and walked up to Rico, grabbed him by the hair and started to pull him up thinking fast on what to do next. As Rico got to his knees, he focused on the navel of Derek as his target. Rico brought his fist from the mats up hard into his target driving his fist deep into Derek's belly. Both Derek's feet left the mats as he reacted to the punch and ended up on his knees doubled over in much pain with his head on the mats. Rico stomped on Derek's back to flatten him to the mats for an elbow drop to the spine. Rico was standing over Derek and signaled the end to the crowd. Rico pulled Derek up with two hands full of blond hair, whipped him to the ropes and on the rebound Rico kicked the toe of his boot into the middle of Derek's belly. Derek hit the mats doubled up on his side and was done for. Rico positioned Derek on his back for a double knee drop to the chest. As Derek jerked, Rico grabbed one leg and with Rico kneeling on Derek, the ref counted for the end of the match.

The ref raised Rico's arm and the crowd did not accept him much for the brutal win over Derek. Rico was going to shake Derek's hand but Derek was not getting up without help or a long recovery. Rico walked back to the locker room and looked over the lightweight competition for his next opponent.
