jimsub81 Jessie&Jack vs Pho&Tan...

Jessie and Jack were still riding the wave of their first legitimate victory in their win over the newcomers Tucker and Mitch. They wanted to keep the wave going and discussed potential opponents. The other relatively new team of Pho and Tan kept coming up. Jack believed he and his brother would do well against them due to their inexperience. And if there was one thing Jessie and Jack did have was experience. They had a lot of ring time though most of it was in losing efforts. Jessie was a little less enthusiastic about challenging the Asian team. The two had given the tag team champs Carter and Rick all they could handle in their match. But at last Jessie agreed. After all every team in the league had something going for them or they wouldn't be here. Jessie knew if he kept avoiding fights then there was no point to being in the league at all. The brothers approached Pho and Tan. The Asian duo was happy to sign on to wrestle them. They had not been around long enough to see the many defeats that the brothers had taken but had heard that they were considered the laughing stock of the league. But Pho and Tan had common sense enough to know that any team or wrestler could be victorious on any given day. They would take the brothers as a serious threat when they faced off in the squared circle.

"Our next match is a tag team event, First, at a combined weight of 328 pounds...PHO AND TAN!" The fans remembered the tough as nails performance these two put on in a title match with Carter and Rick and were eager to see more of their abilities. They gave them a good reception as the two fit teens ran into the ring. "And, their opponents, at a combined weight of 330 pounds...JESSIE AND JACK!" A few months ago the brothers would have received a laughable welcome. But through it all they had showed grit and determination. Even as they got pounded to bits in the ring in almost every match they took on they still kept trying and the fans gave them a nice round of applause. As they faced off the four boys were almost identical in size. Pho and Tan had a bit more definition to their builds in fact Pho had one of the best sculpted bodies in the league. But Jessie and Jack had firm strong looking bodies too. The bell rang and all four boys shook hands as the match was on...

Jessie started against Tan. They came in and tied up. Jessie showed some good strength as he bore into Tan but Tan was strong as a horse and powered Jessie backward. Jessie knew he was out classed in the strength department and broke the hold by slipping Tan into a side head lock. He squeezed down and Tan was held compliant. Tan then brought his elbow back int Jessie's' firm but relatively thin stomach. Jessie grunted as Tan fired another then a third. He knew Tan was going to free himself soon so he released the hold first and got behind Tan quickly. Jessie showed that his weight training was paying off as he wrapped both hands around Tan's waist and heaved up and over into a reverse suplex. Tan grunted as his upper back slammed the canvas hard!

Jessie wasted no time and dropped down with an elbow that hit Tan across his well muscled chest. The elbow had little effect and Jessie was duly impressed with the hardness of Tan's body. Tan got up relatively fast but Jessie still had the upper hand as he grabbed Tan's arm. He stretched it into an arm bar and sent a big kick to Tan's hardened stomach. Tan grunted but bore the pain. He was a little embarrassed he had mounted no offense thus far but when Jessie turned the arm bar into and Irish whip Tan saw opportunity as he bounced off the ropes. Tan saw Jessie ready to land a clothesline and managed to duck under it. He hoped to come in behind Jessie but the older member of the brother team reacted to Tan's duck and came down with an elbow to the back and put Tan to the mats belly first!

Jessie continued his momentum to the ropes and launched himself off them and came splashing down on Tan's back winding the strong teen. He pulled Tan up into a half nelson and walked him over to tag in Jack. Jessie turned the half nelson into a full one and pulled Tan wide open as he arched his back. Jack took to the top ropes of his corner and entered by landing a double elbow drop to Tan's chest. Each of his strong pecs took the brunt of one of Jack's dropping elbows. Jessie was able to hold Tan open long enough for Jack to land two well placed shots to the belly. He exited and Jack took over.

Tan turned a took a swing that Jack ducked under landing one of his own to the taunt stomach as he did. Tan doubled slightly and Jack got behind him. Now it was Jack's turn to show off his newly honed muscles. He lifted Tan into an atomic drop. Tan came down hard and stumbled forward. Jack had made the mistake of letting his opponent fall too close to his own corner. Tan grabbed the ropes and pulled himself over and tagged in Pho. Pho could see Tan was embarrassed by his performance but Pho patted his buddy's shoulder. He knew Tan would show his ability before the match was over.

Pho came in dancing on his feet as Jack took a defensive pose. Pho lunged forward but at the same time he dropped to his knees. There was always talk of Martin's quick "snake strike" but everyone watching agreed the three shots Pho landed to Jack's lower belly were every bit as fast if not faster. Jack was holding his gut staggering backward before he even knew what hit him. Pho was up fast and hooked Jack's arm taking him down in an arm drag. Again, moving fast Pho pulled Jack up and tossed him to the ropes. A well placed clothesline to the chest flattened Jack. Pho stomped down hard two times on Jack's lean stomach winding the 15 year old. Jack rolled over hugging his middle.

A few months ago Jack would have begun to give up at this point. But he had worked long and hard and believed in himself and his brother. As Pho pulled him up again Jack fought off the pain and turned on his attacker slamming a hard forearm to Pho's chest. It had little effect but did take the boy by surprise. Jack followed up with a second and a third. A fourth had Pho stumbling and Jack was laying in the hits harder and harder as he pummeled Pho back to a neutral corner. As Pho fell back into the corner Jack rammed him with a full force shoulder block. He grabbed Pho around the head and took hold of the skimpy Speedo waistband and hoisted him up and a textbook suplex. Pho hit hard and sat up quickly holding his back with a look of pain on his face.

Jack actually impressed himself when he applied the move so well but he wasted no time as he closed in on Pho again driving a knee to the back and pulling him up by the neck. Pho turned to attack but Jack dropped to his back immediately and shot both feet up into Pho's well muscled chest sending him careening backward into the ropes. As he bounced off Jack was able to get to his feet and plowed a shoulder into Pho's midsection bending him in half and taking him down to his back. Pho landed and felt his air rush out of his lungs. He wondered why everyone considered these two wrestlers jokes as they were dominating himself and Tan.

Jack pulled Pho up from the front by the hair. Pho let loose with his quick jab and again Jack felt the knuckles punching deep into his stomach. He let lose of his victim and Pho spun around with a side kick that slammed Jack across the side of the head knocking him silly. Pho struck out with a well placed judo kick to the belly that doubled Jack. A double ax handle between the shoulder blades had Jack to his knees and another swift kick that ripped into Jack's chest laid him out spread eagle. Pho was on fire now and dropped down with a power punch that smacked Jack in the navel. He then pulled Jack up. Valiantly Jack fought back but two more vicious short jabs to the stomach took the wind from his sails. Pho snap neck tossed him across the ring.

Jessie winced as Pho began to take it to his brother. They had been doing so well. Now the tough Asian kid was ripping Jack apart. But Jessie remember these two had battled the champs down to the wire. Jessie realized he was crazy to think he and Jack would dominate the entire match.

Pho pulled the stunned and hurting Jack to his feet. He sent a big knee up into Jack's gut then tagged Tan as he bent down stretching Jack over his knees in a back breaker. Tan took to the top of his corner and entered the action by dropping an elbow from that height that crushed Jack's stretched out belly. Jack moaned and Pho rolled him off his knees.

Tan scooped up the wheezing boy and deposited him in ring shaking body slam. He then surprisingly tagged Pho back in. Tan hoisted the limp and dazed Jack up onto his shoulders. He sat there half out of it as Pho leapt off the top rope driving a forearm to Jack's chest knocking him off Tan's shoulders and sending him back to the canvas with a crash.

Jessie threw his head back and covered his eyes with his hand. He knew it was over for his brother.

No sooner had Tan exited than Pho tagged him back in. Tan walked over to where Jack lay spread eagle, barely moving save for the heaving of his stomach as he gasped for air. Tan pulled him up by one arm. Then Jack reached down for power reserves he didn't even know he had. He wrapped an arm around Tan's head and fell back in a quasi DDT. It wasn't pretty but it was effective enough as Tan was stunned sufficiently enough for Jack to half stagger half crawl to the ropes to tag in Jessie.

Jessie was never prouder in his little brother than he was right then. The boy had taken a hard beating and still managed to tag out. Jessie wanted to capitalize on Jack's heroic efforts as he closed in on Tan who was getting to his hands and knees shaking his head.

Jessie leapt up in the air and came down with a heavy elbow drop to Tan's back flattening him again. Jessie yanked Tan to his feet and tossed him into a corner. He plowed in right behind him ramming a shoulder to the chest. Jessie stepped back and smacked a hard back hand across Tan's pectorals. Jessie moved in to hook the head and snap Tan out of the corner. But Tan had had enough of being manhandled. He reached out and grabbed Jessie's head instead and locked him in a side head lock. With his free hand Tan rammed a series of hard upper cuts to Jessie's stomach. Jessie began to fold under the heavy blows and the last one actually lifted his feet off the mats!

Tan took Jessie down and locked him in a set of leg scissors. Jessie grunted as Tan's incredibly powerful legs smashed his middle. He pried at the bronze colored legs but to no avail. He was in agony and knew he was finished. But he suddenly was able to breath again as the pressure on his gut was gone. Jack had flung himself into the action to save his brother with a chop to Tan's neck. He did his job but paid a heavy price. Pho entered as well and pounced on him like a hawk on a wounded rabbit. Pho slammed him to his back and sunk four of his power packed jabs to Jack's already damaged belly. He pulled Jack up and threw him with such force Jack went sailing over the top ropes. The referee was trying to restore order and finally got the enraged Pho out of the ring.

Jessie and Tan began to circle again. Tan made it look like he wanted to tie up. When Jessie committed Tan backed off grabbed him by the nape of the neck. He snatched a handful of trunks in the other hand and flung Jessie into a neutral corner. Jessie's shoulder impacted with the steel ring post and he fell back into he ring holding his aching shoulder. Tan lifted him by the armpits and shoved him back into the corner. His punches were not a fast as Pho's but they packed a ton of force. He ripped three heavy blasts into Jessie's stomach then smashed one into each of Jessie's pecs. Jessie felt like he had just been hit by a truck and started to sag in the corner.

Tan pulled him out of the corner and slapped a chicken wing on his injured shoulder. Jessie screamed out as his shoulder radiated pain. Tan walked him over to Pho and tagged him. Tan held him open to Pho's piercing judo jabs. Before the referee counted to five Pho had managed to land eight spearing shots to Jessie's stomach. Jessie didn't know which hurt more his wounded shoulder in the chicken wing or his guts from Pho's wickedly hard shots that were tearing them up.

Tan let Jessie fall as Pho took over. Jack was charging for another rescue but Tan spun around catching him up and allowing his own momentum to carry him over into a power slam. Pho had spun Jessie to the ropes and connected with a well aimed kick to the ribs as he came back to him. Jessie fell down in a world of hurt. The referee had managed to get both Tan and Jack out of the ring now Pho closed in on Jessie. He heaved Jessie up and made another quick tag. He and Tan then threw him into the ropes and as he rebounded he was met by double spinning roundhouse kicks. Tan's smacked his chest while Pho's crushed into Jessie's guts. Jessie was thrown back and Tan dropped an elbow across the chest. He hooked the leg and the referee made the three count with ease.

The bell rang and the announcer came on saying, "Here are your winners, PHO AND TAN!" the crowd clapped and cheered loudly for them as the referee raised one arm of each boy. Then Pho and Tan each reached down and helped Jessie to his feet. Jack came in and they clapped him on the back. The brothers gave their congratulations to the winners. Pho and Tan proclaimed their admiration for Jessie and Jack too. The two brothers had put on one gritty and determined performance. With a little more work perhaps the label of Jobbie and Joke would be put to rest. The crowd applauded the sportsmanship demonstrated. The four boys left together with plans to work out together for training.
