punk_wrestler2000 TT Title: Kale/ Trace Vs RIck/Carter

As the time for their title match grew closer Rick and Carter became more nervous. This was going to be a true test of their ability. They knew many other tag teams would be watching this match with intense interest.

Carter and Rick had spent the last two weeks practicing with Dane and Cody. The four teens had worked each other hard in various moves and holds.

Dane and Cody felt confident Rick and Carter could retain their titles.

But Dane and Cody also knew how tough Kale and Trace were. They had fought them many times, both as tag team and individuals.

For tonight's match Rick and Carter were clad in matching green speedoes. The trunks went well with their awesomely rugged and deeply tanned bodies.

Dane and Cody sat in the locker room with Rick and Carter.

Across the hall the HWH were primed and ready to bring a title home.

Lucien and Ryan were thrilled Kale and Trace were finally getting a title shot. It had been long over due.

Kale and Trace had no doubt if they isolated one man they could dominate him and eventually take him out. They decided to set their sites on Rick.

The two heels knew if they cut the ring off, they could crush one of the Pretty Boys.

Kale and Trace were calm before the match. They lifted weights in their locker room. Ryan watched as their massive biceps bulged. He knew they could put a hurting on another guy.

Trace was the smaller of the HWH team he stood 5'11 and weighed a scant 235 pounds. Like Kale he sported a crew cut and big beefy 18" biceps.

Kale was the bigger Heel. He stood 6'1" and weighed in at 240 pounds of solid muscle.

Both guys were well built. They had washboard abs and huge biceps.

There was no doubt Trace and Kale were two of the toughest teens in TW.

The audience was still pumped from seeing the LW title change hands.

Wes had easily taken the title from Phillip.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.. LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE."

"OUR NEXT MATCH IS FOR THE COVETED TW TAG TEAM TITLES. FIRST MAKING THEIR WAY TO THE RING ARE THE CHALLENGERS."

All eyes turned as the HWH walked toward the ring. Lucien and Ryan accompanied Trace and Kale to the ring.

"MAKING THEIR WAY TO THE RING AT A COMBINED WEIGHT OF 475 POUNDS ARE TRACE AND KALE."

The audience groaned as Trace and Kale were announced as the challengers. They knew Rick and Carter: the Pretty Boys were in for a long night.

Kale and Trace entered the ring and posed for the girls. Quite a few of them whistled and blew the mighty muscleboy kisses.

"NOW INTRODUCING THEIR OPPONENTS. MAKING THEIR WAY TO THE RING ARE THE CURRENT TW TAG TEAM CHAMPS. THEY COME IN AT A COMBINED WEIGHT OF 351 POUNDS. THEY ARE RICK AND CARTER."

Rick and Carter strutted to the ring in their championship jackets and matching green speedoes.

Behind them walked Cody and Dane.

The young ladies screamed and made catcalls as the Pretty Boy champs strutted to the ring.

Most watching knew this was going to be a mismatch.

Carter and Rick shed the title jackets and handed them to the announcer.

Rick took what could have been perceived as a last look at the title jacket as he glanced across the ring at the two powerhouse tens.

All four knew this would be different them their first meeting.

The ref called all four teens to the center of the ring.

The size difference was quite evident. Rick and Carter were not WIMPS, but they were not as muscular as Trace and Kale.

Carter and Rick knew this was going to be a battle.

Kale and Trace are ready. Their eyes lock on the tag team jackets that are setting on the announcer's table. They knew shortly they would be leaving the ring with the titles.

Trace was set to start against Rick. He and Kale had discussed their strategy.

Rick was nervous. These two guys were awesome and packed with muscle.

Trace raised his hands for a contest of strength. Carter groaned hoping Rick would not take the challenge.

Rick shook his head and not wanting to appear the wimp moved forward and raised his hands.

As soon as his fingers touched Trace's Trace lifted a hard knee to his stomach. Rick whished out his air and doubled forward. Trace drove a beefy elbow to the back of his head that flattened Rick to the canvas.

Trace then kicked the champ hard in the ribs, twice.

Rick rolled to his right to avoid another kick and rolled right into the wrong corner. Kale sent a hard kick to his back.

Carter winced as Rick was in the wrong part of town. Trace drug Rick to his feet and shoved him back into Kale's waiting arms. Kale locked a hand around Rick's throat and held him erect as Trace plowed three hard muscleboy fists to his torso.

Rick grunted loudly as Trace's big fists tore into his belly.

The ref started to count and when he reached four, Kale let Rick go. Trace tagged Kale, but held Rick wide-open as his partner stepped through the ropes.

Cody and Dane winced as the HWH worked Rick over, hard.

Cody stood to his feet. "Come on Rick." Cody shouted

Kale gripped Rick's other arm and the two muscleboys lifted the teen and applied a double gutbuster. Rick rolled to the mat and Trace and Kale hit him square in the chest with a double elbow drop.

Carter was beside himself as his partner was being double teamed.

Posse members Steve and Rusty stood in the back of the arena watching the match with intense interest. They wanted to see if Corwin and Drew had a shot at taking the champs who ever they would be.

Trace stepped from the ring and let Kale take over. Rick had gotten to his knees. Kale grabbed Rick by the scruff of the next and threw him to the ropes. Rick hit back first and surged forward into Kale's upraised foot. Rick doubled over as Kale's foot tore hard into his stomach.

As Rick doubled Trace hooked his waist and power bombed him to the mat.

Rick arched up and took a hard stomp to his lower belly.

Rick gasped for air and rolled to his stomach.

Rick crawled to all fours breathing deeply.

Kale slipped behind him and locked on a full nelson. He turned Rick towards Carter and smirked.

Kale drug a winded Rick back over to Trace.

The audience booed loudly as the Big Boy Heels kept Rick in their corner and worked him over.

Carter was livid as his partner took a hard beating.

Kale held Rick locked as he tagged Trace. Trace was through the ropes and slammed two hard axe handle blows to Rick's stretched torso. Rick grunted loudly as his air was forced from his body. Kale let Rick drop to his knees.

Carter wanted in badly. Rick was getting squashed by the HWH. Trace waited for Rick to stand. Trace then showed some good wrestling ability and launched a standing drop kick at one half of the tag team champs. Rick fell back to and through the ropes.

Rick hit the floor hard. Before he could regroup Trace was on the apron and dropping down with a double stomp to his stomach. Rick yelled out as he curled into a ball hugging his gut.

The ref was right on top of the action and started to count.

Trace slipped back into the ring and left a winded and dazed Rick on the floor.

Trace knew what to do. He moved over and started to taunt Carter.

Carter stepped through the ropes and charged Trace.

Big mistake. The ref moved to break them up and Kale jumped down and moved towards a hurting Rick.

Rick had just gotten back to his feet when Kale scooped him up and gutbusted him again. Rick whished out his air. Kale then lifted the champ and dropped him throat first over the steel barracade.

Rick fell in a heap clutching his throat and gasping for breath.

By the time the ref got Carter out of the ring, Kale was back in his corner, but the damage had been done.

The ref started to count Rick out.

Trace knew a count out would not allow the titles to switch hands. He slipped out of the ring and broke the ref's count. He gripped a stunned Rick by the nape of the neck and drug him back into the ring.

Rick fell to his knees. He needed to tag out.

Rick started to crawl toward Carter. Carter stretched his hand out trying to reach his battered partner.

Just as Rick reached for the tag Trace knocked Carter from the apron with a vicious elbow smash to the head.

Carter went down hard.

Rick swore as he saw Carter knocked from the ring apron.

Cody and Dane watched as Rick took one hell of a beating. They could not believe the champ was still on in the fight.

Trace gripped Rick by his feet and drug him over to Kale. Trace tagged Kale, then gripped Rick's legs and held Rick stretched out flat. Kale entered from the top rope with a hard knee to Rick's stomach.

Rick gasped for air as Kale squashed his gut under his awesome weight.

Kale and Trace then lifted the battered champ from the mat. They gutbusted him twice then tossed him to the ropes.

Rick was almost out on his feet. He had taken a brutal double-team working over.

Rick knew he had one chance. As he hit the ropes he reached out and just barely tagged Carter, who was not back on the apron. The ref saw the tag.

Trace and Kale were set to deliver a double back body drop to Rick. Rick saw the move and leap frogged over their backs. He fell into the ropes. Carter had entered the fight and moved like a man possessed as he dropped elbows to both teen's heads.

The ref moved quickly and got Trace out of the ring. Rick staggered back to his corner but before he did he kicked Kale hard in the side of the head.

Carter moved in on Kale. He pulled the HW from the mat and flung him to the ropes. As Kale ricocheted off Carter drove the point of his boot deep into his stomach.

Kale stopped in his tracks but did not go down. Carter looked incredulous as the muscleteen remained on his feet.

Carter and Rick both knew if they were to stand a chance they would have to get brutal.

Carter and Kale circled.

Carter knew he was giving up some weight, but he had to hang in here long enough to give Rick a chance to recover.

Carter watched and waited. As Kale made his move Carter leapt in the air and took him down with a flying head scissors. Kale was caught off guard as the adroit teen took him down to the mat in a surprise move.

Carter did not fuck around. He released the head scissors and dropped his leg hard across Kale's chest.

Carter sprang back to his feet. He knew he had to rely on speed and not get drawn into a muscle to muscle contest with Kale.

Kale got back to his feet. Carter backed off and waited. Kale locked eyes with the champ. "Come on BOY, lock up with me." Kale taunted.

Carter shook his head. He had a game plan.

"Coward." Kale said trying to taunt Carter into attacking.

Carter ignored the taunts. He had to stay focused.

Kale again charged Carter hoping to bull him back to the ropes. Carter was ready. He stood his ground and hit Kale with a standing drop kick. Kale flailed back to the corner from the impact. Kale shook his head. He was getting pissed.

He tagged Trace.

Carter was not as leery of Trace as he was Kale. He thought Kale was the muscle and Trace was the brains of this HWH tag team.

But then again Trace had muscled Rick fairly easily.

The two muscular teens circled. Trace could taste the championship jackets.

They locked up. Carter knew instantly he was wrong about Trace. Trace muscled him to a neutral corner and slammed him with a forearm to his throat. Carter sagged and took two knee lifts to his stomach.

Trace gripped his head and flipped him to the center of the ring. Carter hit the mat and lie sprawled out on his back. Trace dove at the downed champ aiming a head butt for Carter's head.

Rick was groggy but saw what was about to befall Carter. "INCOMING" Rick yelled out.

Carter did not take time to look around he just sat up. Trace impacted head first to nothing but mat.

Trace grunted out as his head hit the mat. Carter was up quickly and laid the boots to the dazed big teen.

Carter then pulled the HWH to his feet and whipped him across the ring. Rick was ready and drove a hard foot to Trace's back.

Trace stumbled forward and Carter nailed him on the jaw with a flying elbow smash. Trace fell back to the ropes.

Kale tried to charge Carter but the ref stopped him as they argued Carter and Rick returned the double team beating Rick had taken.

The champs whipped Trace across the ring. As Trace rebounded Carter back body dropped him. Rick dove from the top rope and spiked both feet deep into Trace's washboard abs.

Trace grunted loudly as he felt his abs take a pounding.

Carter and Rick then bounced off the ropes and delivered a double elbow drop to Trace's chest.

When the ref got Kale out of the ring, Carter was tying Trace up in a figure four leg lock.

The ref turned and asked Trace if he wanted to submit.

Trace shook his head no.

Kale again tried to charge the action. The ref again headed him off. As they argued Rick leapt over the top rope and drove his feet hard to Trace's abdominals.

Trace was hurting from the hard ass double team moves.

Kale was getting more and more angry as Rick and Carter double-teamed his best friend and partner.

Carter was cranking the pressure on Trace. Suddenly with a rush of adrenaline Trace rolled over and reversed the hold.

Carter yelled out as he was now the one trapped.

"Break his legs, Trace." Kale yelled out.

Carter was stomach first on the mat as Trace cranked on the pressure. Carter pounded the mat as his knees were contorted.

Rick made a move to break the submission hold up. Kale saw him charging and was through the ropes. He nailed Rick with a forearm to the face that sent him back to the corner. Kale followed. He drove three solid knee lifts to Rick's stomach and scooped the teen up and dropped him hard over the top rope and to the arena floor.

Kale dove through the ropes and continued to hammer Rick outside the ring.

The ref ignored them as he kept his attention focus on Carter and Trace.

Carter forced himself from the mat and somehow found the strength to reverse the hold again. He cranked mightily on Trace's legs. Trace let out a yell and made a lunge for the ropes. He just barely gripped the bottom rope forcing the hold to be broken.

Both teens stood on shaky legs. They charged. Trace gripped Carter and sidewalk slammed him down hard to the center of the ring.

Carter felt the 235 pounds of muscle crushing him to the mat. He lie there motionless as Trace stood to his feet.

Trace knew it was over. He bounced off the ropes and landed a powerful leg drop across Carter's chest.

Carter's body bounced with the impact.

Outside the ring Kale was preparing to pile drive Rick to the floor.

Rick was struggling but could not break Kale's grip.

Inside the ring Trace was preparing to end the match.

He reached down to drag a dazed Carter back to his feet. Carter quickly gripped Trace's head and bull dogged the muscleboy to the canvas.

Both teens were winded and needed to tag out. As their eyes drifted to their corners they saw no one was there for them to tag.

Carter and Trace pulled themselves to their feet. They locked eyes and charged. Carter knew what he had to do. At the last minute he pivoted and sent a hard spinning back heel kick to Trace's lower belly.

Trace whished out his air as Carter's foot dug in fast and deep. Carter hit the ropes and lunged off. He gripped Trace's head just as he was straightening up. Carter slammed Trace to the mat hard. His full weight driving Trace's head down into the canvas.

Trace was stunned with the force of the unexpected move.

He felt Carter rolling him to his back and then maneuvering him to his knees. Before Trace could counter Carter had cinched on a sleeper.

Carter locked his biceps tight and cranked on the hold. He knew he would never get another shot.

Outside the ring Kale pile drove Rick to the floor. He turned and saw Trace was in trouble.

Just as he hit the ring, the ref called for the bell. He had raised Trace's hand three times and it had fallen limply to the mat each time.

Kale dropped to his knees and pounded the mat. He could not believe Carter had beaten Trace.

Carter released the hold and fell to his back. He was spent.

He glanced around the ring and saw Rick was sprawled on the floor.

Carter slipped through the ropes and went to his cousin's side. Rick was groggy but not seriously injured.

Rick looked at Carter and started to apologize for costing them the titles.

Carter shook his head and pointed to the sleeping Trace in the center of the ring. Rick looked astounded.

"We won?" He asked Carter still not believing it.

Carter nodded, just as the ring announcer started to speak.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE WINNERS OF THE MATCH WITH A SLEEPER SUBMISSION AND STILL TW TAG TEAM CHAMPS: CARTER AND RICK."

The audience applauded the efforts of all four teens.

Rick looked at Carter and just shook his head.

Dane and Cody moved ringside to congratulate the champs.

Rick was still groggy as Dane and Cody helped Carter support him.

Dane and Cody helped a badly beaten Rick back to the locker room. Carter was surprised Rick had taken the beating he had not submitted. But he knew how tough Rick was.

The champs knew they had been lucky to win. Trace and Kale had given them their toughest title defense so far.

Rick did not feel lucky. He thought back to Poh and Tan. He had a feeling they would be looking for a rematch.

Carter as well was thinking about the team of Poh and Tan. He had been in Rick's position in that match. He had almost submitted. But hey had toughed it out and walked out of the arena champs. Tonight they had done the same thing.

Snatched Victory from the jaws of Defeat.
