chrisch234 Shawn vs Phillip 1

Shawn was elated that he was one of the "chosen few" to be considered for a title shot against Samuel. Even though he was not the winner of the pick for the championship match, it was on his mind constantly since that day in the commissioners office. Now that Phillip had the lightweight championship jacket instead of Samuel made no difference to Shawn.

Shawn could wait no longer and went to the commissioner to see if he could have a match with Phillip. The commissioner was surprised by the determination of Shawn in signing a match for the lightweight jacket and had Shawn sign a contract for the match and told him he would contact Phillip and tell him a challenge had been issued.

The commissioner contacted Kevin and told him about the contract Shawn signed and asked if Phillip would accept the challenge. He did not have to but Kevin did not hesitate and told the commissioner that both him and Phillip would be down to his office to sign and finalize the contract.

Kevin went to Phillip's house and informed him of the challenge. Both boys then laughed and Phillip said he would surely have his first title defense against Shawn. They knew well of the Shawn - Timmy feud. Shawn's winning record came mainly from beating Timmy and the jobber Alex. Timmy then had a big win over Shawn but Shawn had a winning record and that is why he was a contender for the jacket in the drawing against Samuel.

Shawn was informed once the contract was signed by Phillip and he was looking forward to the match as was Phillip. Even though they were sort of friends at school, the ring was a different matter. Now Phillip had the championship jacket to defend. Phillip did not think of Shawn as a jobber but he did not for an instant think that he could not decidedly beat Shawn in the ring.

The night of the match arrived and was announced.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, FRIENDS AND FANS: THE NEXT MATCH IS FOR THE LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP.<br>INTRODUCING FIRST - THE CHALLENGER. HE STANDS 5'9" AND WEIGHS IN AT 143 POUNDS. LET'S HEAR IT FOR SHAWN.

Shawn came bounding down the aisle, through the ropes and was limbering up in his corner. Usually he had a natural smile but tonight he had to force the smile. Shawn was trying to shake his nervous feeling. He knew that he had to start the match in his favor and keep the advantage. Up to now, Shawn had always started a match rather passive and paid for it but tonight his strategy was different, he would try for the first strike.

NEXT ENTERING THE ARENA IS THE CURRENT LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE TW. HE STANDS 5'7" AND WEIGHS 140 POUNDS. HERE IS PHILLIP.

THIS IS A MATCH FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP AND THE WINNER MUST WIN TWO FALLS EITHER BY PIN OR SUBMISSION. LET'S GET IT ON.

Phillip sauntered down the aisle wearing his championship jacket along with Kevin. Both entered the ring and with a show, Kevin removed Phillip's jacket and rubbed his shoulders as he gave encouraging words to Phillip. Kevin did not think Phillip really needed them but wanted to reinforce the fact that he had better not screw up and lose to the "Pepsodent Kid."

Kevin exited the ring with the jacket and the ref gave both the wrestlers instructions. The boys returned to their corners and the bell rang to start the match.

Both boys came to the center of the ring and circled a couple times. Then they both raised their arms for a collar and elbow lockup. Phillip reached out and slapped Shawn upside the face then laughed and backed off. Shawn was taken by surprise by the bitch slap but did not let it distract from his concentration.

Phillip walked around the ring and after booing from the crowd went to lock up with Shawn again. Phillip went for another simple slap to Shawn but not this time as Shawn blocked the swinging arm and gave Phillip a bitch slap to the side of the face instead much to the approval of the crowd. Phillip raised his arms to block a possible second slap and as he did, Shawn connected with the sole of his white wrestling boot to the relaxed gut of Phillip with a side kick. Phillip grunted, doubled over and was driven back a couple steps as Shawn put full force into the side kick, extending his leg fully. Phillip straightened up a little and was again met by the sole of the white wrestling boot to his upper chest in a thrusting kick. Phillip reeled backward into the turnbuckles latching onto the top ropes as he hit. Phillip sucked in a breath of air just as Shawn was again on the attack. Shawn grabbed the top rope with both hands beside Phillip and started slamming boots into the torso. Phillip cringed all eight times as the laces of Shawn's boot connected with his gut and chest. Shawn had to back off as the ref hit the 5 count.

The crowd was fully enjoying the beating of Phillip, except for the Posse. Even Timmy, whom had his differences with Shawn, was supporting Shawn in his championship bid by yelling and cheering.

Shawn only backed off for a second and went back after Phillip. Phillip could not believe that this kid was softening him up and reddening his torso. He never expected this from Shawn. Phillip was slumped in the corner still holding the top ropes and starting to straighten back up as Shawn was in front of him connecting a front kick into his gut. Phillip doubled over holding his middle. Shawn side headlocked Phillip, pulling him out of the corner then bulldogging him to the mats. Phillip laid on the mats as Shawn laid a couple more boots to him, this time to his lower back. Shawn then came down full weight with both knees to the lumbar area of the back.

Shawn was deciding to either put on a boston crab or maybe a camel clutch. He decided on a boston crab. Shawn secured the ankles of Phillip under his arms and pulled them back into the crab hold. Phillip was far from submitting this early in the match. His workouts with the Posse members has always been rough and has toughened him up to take pain and then come back. Phillip was only in the crab hold for less than 10 seconds when he straightened his powerful legs breaking the hold and throwing Shawn off his back.

Phillip rolled to the ropes and rolled under the bottom rope to the arena floor as Shawn stumbled off him. Phillip could use the time to stretch out his back muscles but mostly to regroup his thoughts about the match so far and to stop the roll that Shawn is on.

Phillip stayed on the outside as the ref counted and only started to step up to the apron of the ring at the very last instant. Shawn did not wait and ran to the ropes and reached over them to grab Phillip as he was getting onto the apron. As Shawn was pulling Phillip up, Phillip shot a fist very low to the gut connecting with the upper band of Shawn's low riding speedos. Shawn bent over. Phillip, now standing, grabbed a handful of hair and pulled Shawn's neck over the top rope. Phillip held on as he jumped off the apron. Shawn's throat was driven down onto the top rope and then as Phillip let loose, Shawn was flung upward and he went back down onto the mats gagging. Shawn was on his side gagging as Phillip entered the ring. Phillip kicked Shawn over onto his back and dropped one knee full weight into Shawn's gut. Shawn saw the move coming and tensed but it did not do much good as Phillip's bony knee drove deep into his intestines.

Phillip laid across Shawn for the pin. The ref started counting and even though Shawn was breathless and choking, he still lifted a shoulder at the count of two. Phillip drove a right fist down hard into the navel of Shawn before standing back up and felt little resistance. As Shawn doubled up in the fetal position, Phillip knew he had him hurt and this fall would be his.

As a member of the Posse, Phillip wanted to do a little more damage before ending the fall. Phillip pulled Shawn up by the hair and walked him over to the nearest corner where he held onto Shawn's long blond locks and pounded his forehead repeatedly onto the top turnbuckle. Shawn was dazed as Phillip turned him into the corner with his arms draped over the top rope. Phillip went to work slamming as many rapid fists into Shawn's gut as he could before the ref threatened DQ. Phillip threw his arms up as a signal that he broke his workout of Shawn and the ref was satisfied. Then before Shawn even had time to drop into a heap in the corner, Phillip chopped his chest hard reeling Shawn upright in the corner following with a hard uppercut to the middle of Shawn's belly. Phillip grabbed two handsful of hair and flipped Shawn out of the corner.

Shawn was deposited almost in the center of the ring. Phillip swaggered over to Shawn and dropped down with a power punch. His right fist smacked into Shawn's navel and drove deep. Phillip uncurled his fingers and latched on a tight claw. Shawn tried to arch up as the fingers were rearranging his innards but could not. Shawn knew he could not break the hold and signaled his submission. Phillip kept the claw on for almost 10 seconds as the ref was yelling at him then released the claw and strutted to his corner for the short 3 minute break between falls.

The ref helped Shawn up and to his corner where Shawn held onto the top rope with one hand and massaged his sore gut with the other. Phillip stood in his corner exchanging thumbs up signals with Kevin and crew.

The three minute rest period was over quickly for Shawn and the bell rang for the next fall to begin. Phillip walked to the center of the ring and made a "come on" motion for Shawn to leave his corner and get it on. Shawn was not really ready for the match to continue but knew the rules and slowly stood up and started toward the center of the ring.

Shawn cautiously approached Phillip who was acting like a jerk. The crowd was booing Phillip but Kevin was rolling with laughter at the antics of Phillip making fun of Shawn.

Shawn was within range and lashed out with a kick from his long right leg connecting his boot toe into Phillip's gut. Phillip doubled over whishing out his air and his legs wobbled as he almost went to his knees. The crowd reacted favorably to the tactic. Shawn put Phillip's head between his legs then wrapped his arms under the torso to pick Phillip up and deposit him hard to the mats with a powerbomb. Shawn set to lift Phillip then put everything he had into getting Phillip up and off the mats. As Phillip was lifted and his legs vertical, he draped his legs around Shawn's head and locked them in a headscissors then jerked and took Shawn down with a flipping headscissors takedown. Shawn flipped and hit the mats head first and flopped around. This gave Phillip time to stand and recover. Shawn was woozy as Phillip pulled him up by the hair and punched him in the chest shoving him back into a corner. Phillip held Shawn up as he drove two knees up into his tender gut. Phillip then grabbed Shawn by the wrists, dropped to his back on the mat and pulled Shawn into his feet monkey flipping Shawn to the center of the ring.

Phillip stood and jumped over to Shawn laying numerous boots to his torso concentrating most of the stomps to Shawn's gut knowing this was now his weak spot. Phillip pulled Shawn up by one arm and whipped him to the ropes. As Shawn rebounded off the ropes, Phillip gave a double axe handle blow to the lower gut flipping Shawn over and onto his back. Phillip could have pinned Shawn with and arrogant pin but instead pulled him up and muscled him into a corner for more punishment. Phillip again held Shawn up and drove two punches into his beet red stomach then backed off and drove a front kick into the same red spot. Shawn dropped to the mats and could take no more and was going to submit but for some reason he held off the submission signal to the ref.

Phillip pulled Shawn up, hooked his head and perfectplexed him to the mats. Phillip held the headlock, arched up and the ref dropped and counted the 3 count ending the fall and the match.

Phillip had his arm raised by the ref as Kevin and Posse entered the ring to celebtrate with him. Kevin held the jacket for Phillip as Phillip put it on. There was no after match work over for Shawn for some reason but Kevin and Phillip gave a smiling last glance at Shawn as they left the ring and went to the locker room to continue their celebration.

Shawn had not made any alliances with any other wrestlers but a couple of the middleweights came to the ring and helped him back to the locker room.

Shawn thought he would do better than he did and knew he had some serious work to do on his abs. He now has lost his last two matches because he could not take the stomach punishment. Next time he will be more prepared in case his opponent works on his untoned gut.
