jimsub81 puk wrestler2000: Battle Royal 2002.

The stands in the TW facility were filled to capacity as everyone had come out to see the largest event in TW history to date. It was the second TW Battle Royal. There had been one about six months ago but that one had but 20 participants. This Battle Royal was to have 28. The Wrestlers were all excited as well. The last one had allowed several wrestlers to really make names for themselves.

Just as previously, the entire squad of eligible wrestlers were gathered together in a roped off area the officials called "the Holding Pen." The wrestlers preferred to call it a more apt name. They called it "the Dog Pound." The wrestlers were teaming with excitement at the thought of being called. At last the main event was ready to begin.

Entering into the ring to make the announcements of the rules and to call the contestants into the action was one of the wrestlers own. Middleweight Travis had been slightly injured in a practice match and had to excuse himself from the event. Knowing Travis was more than a bit of a showman the officials asked him to do the honors of being the special announcer. Travis jumped at the opportunity as he was more than a little vain. Now Travis swaggered into the ring wearing his Abercrombie & Fitch T-shirt and his trademark David Duval style shades and picked up the mike. He knew that the fans were really not interested in seeing him perform so he got right to it and began the introduction of the event, "Good evening all you great fans. How you all doing? My name's Travis and I'll be the announcer for this event. Now lets get right to the rules. First, there will be a total of 28 participants called to the ring. They will be called in two at time not one at a time like the last Battle Royal. The next two contestants will be called in at three-minute intervals. There will be six participants called from each of the three weight divisions as well as six from the ranks of the tag teams. There are also four Wild Card Spots. These four spots can be from any division. As previously the contestants have already been pulled at random from a drawing. Only two TW officials know who will be taking part. The wrestlers are totally unaware and will therefore have no chance to form alliances or devise preplanned strategy. This event is designed to be a spontaneous as possible. The match itself is no holds bared and the ONLY way a participant can be eliminated is by being tossed over the top rope. The last boy in the ring is the winner. Its that simple!"

Travis could not resist extending the crowd's anticipation just a little and looked out at them and said, "OK fans ARE YOU READY!!?" The fans erupted in an uproar of cheering that was almost deafening. Travis gave a sly grin and leaned over the ropes and looked at his peers, "And you bunch of animals in the Dog Pound...ARE YOU READY!!?" The rowdy group of excited teen wrestlers broke into mock dog like sounds to show they were indeed ready roll. Travis then did such a perfect impersonation of Mills Lane that some thought the famous referee was actually in the arena when he said, "All right LETS GET IT ON!"

Travis exited and took a seat beside the two officials that held a bag of chosen names. They asked Travis to draw the names and make the announcements. Travis reached into the bag. He pulled the first name, smiled and said, "Our first participant, we've not seen this guy in a while, from the ranks of the Heavyweights at 5' 10" and 252 pounds.. LUCIAN!"

Lucian was startled more than anyone at the announcement. He had just opened a Twinkie. He handed it to his snacking pal Jordan who said, "Go get em BIG GUY!" Lucian trotted faster than normal from the Dog Pound. Many in the crowd applauded him as he had not seen action in a while. And seeing the super-heavyweight in a Battle Royal had to make for some good action. Travis pulled the second name. He shook his head and almost laughing said, "And joining him to start things off, from the tag teams at 6 feet 160 pounds...JACK!" The audience could be heard chuckling and the wrestlers laughed outright. All remembered how Jack was the second person to enter the first Battle Royal. He was unceremoniously thrown out by Rich in a mere seven seconds. Since then whenever a wrestler did something spectacularly incompetent he was said to have "pulled a Jack." Jack's brother Jessie patted his back and wished him well. Jack had improved much in the last few months and aimed to show everyone what he could do now. But as he entered the ring against the mammoth Lucian he had to swallow a big lump down his throat.

Lucian ambled awkwardly toward Jack who ducked under his reach and ran to the other side of the ring. Lucian turned and looked annoyed and came at the thinner boy again. Jack didn't want to simply dodge the competition for three minutes. But he realized too that to mix it up with Lucian could be a real kiss of death for him. Jack moved in fast smacked a sweeping cross leg check to Lucian's enormous gut. The thin boy's hit bounced off Lucian's blubber having no effect whatsoever. Lucian brushed off his body as if to make the point to Jack that he could not hurt him. Jack then came at Lucian and launched a flying drop kick. Jack had been working on this move a lot. He planted both feet squarely into Lucian's upper abdomen. Jack fell to his back. Lucian took but two steps backward again seemingly unhurt. He reached down to snag Jack but the nimble fifteen year old rolled away.

Jack threw himself into the ropes and came off them driving a forearm to a turning Lucian catching him in his big chest. Lucian fell backward three or four steps. Again he swiped out at Jack who dodged again. Jack was already thinking he had lasted a lot longer than last time and against Lucian no less! Jack somersaulted away from Lucian's big hands and came up behind the overweight teen. Jack knew kicking Lucian in the ass would do little except get Lucian angry but he did it anyway. Lucian spun around enraged as Jack now taunted him as if saying, "you can't touch me."

Lucian closed on Jack again. The tag teamer swung a kick that Lucian simply caught in mid arch. Jack's face went pale as he found his leg wrapped by Lucian's meaty arms. Lucian smiled and jerked Jack's leg straight up. Jack went crashing back first to the mats. Lucian then gave Jack a lesson on how to drop and elbow as he crashed one right into Jack's thin stomach. Jack moaned at the blow. Lucian then yanked him to his feet and whipped him with one arm to a corner. Jack hit chest first and fell to his knees. Lucian then charged and planted his full body weight into a sitting splat on Jack's back. Jack was crushed between the turnbuckles and Lucian's weight.

Lucian hoisted Jack up as if he were a toy. He moved to toss him over the ropes.

Travis had pulled the next two names and said, "Our next two contestants are: From the middleweights at 5' 11" 170 pounds...DANIEL! And from the heavyweights at 6'1" 220 pounds...DOUG!" Both wrestlers were charging the ring at the call of their names. Daniel had recently lost a match to Booker that he felt he should have won. He wanted to let the TW world know what he was made of as he hit the ring. Doug was a muscle bound, tall heavyweight who had a ton of boxing skill but was lacking a bit in wrestling ability. He was undeniably strong though as his muscles were very well defined. Doug packed perhaps the hardest punch in the league.

Lucian had Jack almost over the top. Jack had hold of the top rope with both hands and was hanging on for dear life. He no way wanted to be the first guy eliminated for a second time. Daniel and Doug realized Lucian was the boy to beat. From behind each of the newcomers grabbed a fat leg and tried to heave Lucian over. Lucian was big but the combined strength of Daniel and Doug could easily handle him. Lucian felt himself going up. He released Jack to save himself.

Jack scrambled back in and took in the situation. Daniel and Doug had Lucian half way up the ropes. Lucian was holding on to the ropes but he could plainly feel he was going to be tossed out. He needed to try a bold move. He let go of the ropes and before the two muscular teens could heave him out Lucian whipped both his elbows backward catching each of his attackers in the forehead. Doug and Daniel let go of Lucian and stumbled backward. Both were dazed by Lucian's blow.

Lucian struck out at the nearest opponent, Daniel. He hammered his meaty forearm to Daniel's back and sent him to his knees. A well placed boot to the side of the head had the strong middleweight down on his side.

Doug had recovered enough by then and charged Lucian. As the heavyweight got within striking distance Doug reared back and slammed a jab as hard as he could to Lucian's fat laden gut. To Doug's amazement the big stomach seemed to swallow his fist for a moment then spit it back out none the worse for it. Lucian did feel the hit dig in a little but he was barely hurt by it. Doug actually had a look of fear as Lucian lunged forward wrapping both arms around Doug's lean waist and plowed him backward to a corner. Doug let out a rush of wind as Lucian crushed him against the turnbuckles.

Lucian turned to see Jack making a run at him. He snatched Jack up as he got close and hurled him at Doug. Jack's 160 pounds were sent slamming into Doug and both boys fell onto each other in the corner.

Daniel was then getting to his feet and Lucian turned on him. He swung a kick that caught Daniel in his firm underbelly. The kick raised Daniel off the mats and he fell flat on his stomach. Lucian took a leap as a high as gravity would allow him and plopped his fat ass right down on Daniel's lower back. Daniel grimaced as his pubic bone was ground into the mat under Lucian's great bulk.

Lucian then stood and raised his arms to the crowd. He was never really a favorite but they cheered him now as he had handled three opponents with relative ease.

As the action in the ring intensified so did the anticipation in the Dog Pound.

Kyle as usual was mouthing off to his new friend Stefan. He was standing and flexing and saying how he could win this Battle Royal easily.

Joey and Patrick were sitting behind Kyle and Stefan.

Joey turned to Patrick and spoke loud enough for Kyle and Stefan to hear him.

"Yeah Kyle could win if all the combatants were LW wrestlers."

Kyle turned towards Joey and Patrick. "Or two sissy boy MW wrestlers." Kyle said as he flexed his big biceps.

Joey stood to his feet. He was sick of this kid. Before things could get out of hand the next two combatants were announced.

Doug and Jack were untangling themselves as Travis reached into the bag of names and pulled out two more.

He took the mike, "The next two wrestlers are: From the MW division standing 5'9 and weighing 155 pounds, Kyle and from the LW divisions, standing 5'6 and weighing 128 pounds, the infamous leader of the POSSE, Kevin"

Kyle broke into a smile as his name was called. He turned to Joey and Patrick. "Now sit back and watch a REAL WRESTLER in action."

Kyle and Kevin headed to the ring.

As Kevin left Taylor turned to Corwin and Drew. "Hope the little Hitler he-man gets knocked out of his jock."

All three teens laughed.

Kyle and Kevin hit the ring as Lucien was raising his arms.

Doug and Jack were still locked in a tangle of arms and legs in the corner. Daniel was out of it on the canvas.

Kyle and Kevin decided to take the FAT BOY down. They leapt in the air and aimed dropped kicks at Lucien's sides. Lucien was a veteran and saw the move coming, He dropped down to his stomach and Kyle and Kevin connected with each other.

They dropped in a heap. Lucien turned to check on Jack and Doug and saw Doug getting slowly to his feet. Lucien charged the muscular HW and drove a shoulder to his ripped stomach. Doug was crushed back into the corner. As Lucien crushed Doug his right foot came down solidly to Jack's lean stomach. Lucien gripped Doug's arm and hurled the HW across the ring and into the opposite corner.

Daniel was still down. Lucien saw Kyle and Kevin getting to their feet. The Fat HW moved quickly and gripped both boys by the throat. He throat slammed them to the canvas.

Kevin and Kyle fell limp as they were slammed down hard.

Daniel was slowly getting to his feet. Lucien turned and hooked Daniel's head in his beefy arm. He then used Daniel's head as a battering ram and drove the MW wrestler head first into Doug's stomach. Doug whished out his air and fell in a heap in the corner.

Lucien was pumped. He had five guys all flat on their backs in the ring. He decided to have some fun with Kevin.

Lucien lifted the POSSE leader up to his feet. Lucien bulled the lighter teen to the corner and drove four hard powerful punches to Kevin's slight stomach. Kevin screamed out in agony as his guts were rearranged.

Lucien then gripped Kevin and set for a crotch slam. He pressed the teen over his head like he was nothing.

"Our next two wrestlers to enter are first from the tag team division weighing 240 pounds and standing 6'1, Kale. Next from the MW division standing 6'1 and weighing 178 pounds, Derrick."

Derrick hit the ring hard and fast. He drove a hard shoulder to Lucien's ample gut. Lucien whished out his air and stumbled backwards. Derrick then struck Lucien with a drop kick in the chest. Lucien sagged on the ropes and dropped Kevin to the mat.

Kale wasted no time he went right for Doug. Doug saw the big HW moving towards him like a runaway freight train.

Kyle was back on his feet. He caught Kevin's eye and they moved in on Jack.

Daniel was all but forgotten. He slowly stood to his feet. He checked the action in the ring. He decided the best thing to do was to assist Derrick and get the Fat Boy out of action.

Doug had his second wind. As Kale charged in Doug raised his feet and drove them hard to Kale's ripped abs. Kale staggered back and Doug charged from the corner. His fists lashed out hard as they tore into Kale's muscular torso.

Across the ring Kevin and Kyle were pounding the shit out of Jack. They had him in the corner and were putting the boots to his midsection. Jack was gasping for breath as he took the hard kicks.

Derrick had Lucien locked from behind in a powerful bearhug. Daniel stood in front of the fat BOY and unloaded hard shots to his protruding gut. Lucien was starting to sag under the hard blows to his flabby belly.

Kevin and Kyle had dropped Jack to the canvas. They were lying in stomps to the teens ribs and back.

Kevin and Kyle again locked eyes. He hefted Jack from the mat and flung the teen to the ropes. They set for a back body drop.

Jack hit the ropes and Kyle and Kevin tossed him over the top rope and to the arena floor.

Once again Jack was out. But this time he had made a good showing.

Daniel had beaten the breath out of Lucien. Derrick had Lucien's shoulders and Daniel had his legs. They were preparing to toss the Big Kid out.

Doug had Kale backed into a corner and was wailing away on his torso. Kale was starting to sag. Kevin saw this and slipped behind Doug and drove a forearm up between his legs. Doug yelled and fell to his knees. As he did Kyle connected with a solid kick to the side of his head.

Kale moved from the corner and headed to assist Lucien.

Kevin and Kyle decided to work Doug over a little. They rolled the HW to his back. Kevin and Kyle then dropped a series of knees and elbows to the tough HW wrestlers body.

Kale was moving behind Daniel as Travis took up the mike.

"Our next two wrestlers are, from the Lightweight division, standing 5 feet 6 inches and weighing 134 pounds...TOMMY! And from the Tag Teams standing 5 feet 9 inches and weighing 162 pounds...PHO!"

Bastian called out to his little buddy, "Go get em TOMMY BOY. Show them what Doug & me been teaching you!" Tommy looked back as he was running down the aisle and gave Bastian a big grin.

Tan clapped his tag team partner on the back and wished him well. Another tag teamer Keegan, called out to Pho, "Show em all why TAG TEAMS RULE!" Walt, recent winner of the four corners match yelled back at Keegan, "Tag teams suck!" Keegan shot him a dirty look. Walt just smirked.

When Tommy hit the ring he knew he owed his friend Doug a hand as the cocky Kyle and the sneaky Kevin were in the process of stomping him hard. The smaller boys one on one would be no match for Doug but together their hard stomping feet were ripping him up with great effectiveness. Tommy hurled himself at Kevin. He had wanted a piece of his former friend and former Posse leader for a long time. His shoulder slammed into Kevin's side and the two lightweights went tumbling to the canvas.

Doug was still down and hurting. Kyle looked to see his partner in crime Kevin tackled by Tommy. He then saw the ripped body of Pho. Even though Pho and Tommy were not working as a team Kyle assumed they were. Kyle acted rashly and struck out at Pho who blocked the blonde kid's jab with ease. He then showed everyone the fastest strikes in all TW. Before Kyle even knew he had been hit Pho had ripped in four blazing shots that ripped Kyle's hard torso. He staggered backward.

Lucian was firmly in the strong reverse bear hug of new boy Derrick. He saw Kale and Daniel closing in on him. He knew they wanted him out of the ring. Lucian knew he was a natural favorite in a match like this. As Daniel and Kale came into range Lucian rocked back and lifted both feet off the ground he planted one foot into each of the muscular chests sending both would be attackers backward.

As Lucian rocked back and took his feet off the mat even Derrick's great strength could not handle the big boy's bulk. Derrick fell to his back with Lucian coming right down on top of him. Lucian felt the satisfying wheezing made by an opponent when they felt Lucian's enormity upon them seeping from the muscle bound Derrick. Lucian smiled widely.

Kevin knocked Tommy off of him and got to his feet. Tommy checked on his big friend Doug then spun on Kevin. He had wanted a piece of Kevin for a long time and was about to get it. The two lightweights measured each other. Kevin saw the fury in Tommy's eyes. Kevin said, "Tommy we can settle this later. Now's not the time!" Tommy seemed to understand. Kevin dropped his hands and smiled at his former Posse mate. Tommy knew that a lightweight like himself would stand little chance against the much larger competition. He hated to admit it but Kevin was right. Tommy then drove a hard fist forward that splattered Kevin's tender belly. The Posse leader doubled over the fist as his eyes bugged out of his head. Tommy grinned and said, "Your right Kev, we can settle this later. I'll work with you ..FOR NOW!"

Doug was just getting to his feet.

Pho was pounding the crap out of Kyle. The handsome blonde muscleboy was sagging against the ropes as Pho continued to rip off hard jabs to the taunt chest and stomach. Kyle every now and then would try to return fire but his weakened attempts were blocked by Pho's expert skill.

Lucian was getting up off of Derrick as Kale and Daniel closed in on him again. He stepped on Derrick driving him back to the mats as he took a defensive position against Kale & Daniel.

Tommy and Kevin took position opposite of Kyle and Pho. Kevin called out, "Pho, right here man!" Kevin slapped his shoulder. Pho knew what the two lightweights wanted. They wanted Kyle and he gave him to them by spinning him off the ropes in an arm toss. Tommy and Kevin charged like two baby bulls and each plowed a shoulder into Kyle's chest. Kyle went slamming to the canvas hard.

Lucian was backed into a corner by the advancing Daniel and Kale. They approached him warily. Lucian struck out at Kale and nailed him with a hard forearm. Kale backed up but Daniel attacked from the other side. He grabbed Lucian's left arm and held it aloft. Lucian turned and smacked him in the ribs. Daniel grunted at the blow.

Tommy and Kevin had bounced themselves off the ropes and, showing shades of Corwin and Drew, came dropping down on Kyle with duel elbow drops. Kyle was racked with pain, as he had been beat hard thus far.

Doug saw Daniel struggling with Lucian and came over to assist. Kale did too and Lucian was at last held at bay. Now all they had to do was get the thrashing fat boy out of the ring. No easy task!

Derrick was to his feet as well and looked about. Three big boys were handling Lucian. Tommy and Kevin were stomping the crap out of Kyle. That left Pho. The muscle-bound farm boy and the well-built Asian tag teamer circled. Derrick lunged at him. Pho sidestepped with ease as he swung a kick up into Derrick's side. Derrick grunted but didn't fall. He turned and came at Pho again. Pho moved with amazing quickness and hooked Derrick's arm and took him to the mats in an arm drag.

Tommy and Kevin delivered the last of their stomps as Kyle lie moaning and gasping for breath. The two lightweights picked him up and tossed him to the ropes. They then took a page from the "Bad Boy's book and smacked a double ax handle to Kyle's softening belly. He flipped over the boy's arms and landed flat on his back again.

Travis reached into the bag and pulled out two more names. "Our next two contestants are: From the Lightweights at 5 feet 8 inches and 150 pounds...WILLY! And, from the Heavyweights, at 6 feet 209 pounds...CODY"

Willy jumped up and high fived his friends Wesley and Samuel. He was thrilled to take part. Right on his heels to the ring was former heavyweight champ Cody. The crowd cheered both contestants, as they were very well liked.

Pho spun around and cracked a hard foot to the side of Derrick's head. Pho had seen Derrick's debut against Taylor and was duly impressed. He was not about to take Derrick lightly. Derrick was growing frustrated at the slippery Pho. He charged again. Pho drilled his belly with a hard forward shot. Derrick felt the blow dig in but continued his charge and plowed into Pho driving him to the ropes.

Tommy and Kevin raised Kyle up and double gutbusted him. They had him up and against the ropes and were trying to push him out.

Cody saw the two smaller boys straining with Kyle. He walked over and said, "Allow me." He gripped Kyle around the throat and tossed him up and over the ropes with little effort at all. Cody turned and smiled at the two 14 year olds but they then immediately attacked him by each grabbing a leg. Cody toppled over and Kevin and Tommy dropped their small but damn effective elbows to Cody's chest.

Willy rushed to assist with Lucian who was now three quarters of the way up the ropes. His right hand was hanging onto Doug's hair. Daniel got up on the second rope to get more leverage as he tugged on Lucian's arm. Doug and Kale were heaving Lucian's tights ever higher. Willy looked for an opening on the big guy. He didn't see one but he did see Daniel with a blind side and on the second rope anyway. Willy charged him and plowed into a surprised Daniel knocking him out of the ring. Daniel cursed Willy like mad for ousting him. Willy didn't give a damn. He went to assist with Lucian now.

Derrick had driven Pho to the ropes. He had the muscular Asian bent over the top rope. Pho then wrapped his taunt legs around Derrick's waist and squeezed.

Kale, Doug and Willy had Lucien in the corner and were pummeling the fat boy to the canvas. Tommy and Kevin were still hammering Cody with rapid elbow drops to his chest and stomach.

Derrick grunted loudly as Pho's legs cinched around his waist. Pho was still bent over the top rope so Derrick laid into his wide-open belly. Pho grunted loudly with the force of the blows.

Pho gasped for air as Derrick's big fists finally forced him to release his scissor hold. Derrick turned Pho around and locked his waist. Like lightening he delivered a suplex.

Tommy noted the downed Pho. He broke away from his attack on Cody and dropped an elbow to Pho's groin. Pho arched up and took a foot in the face from Tommy.

That was all Cody needed. Kevin launched another elbow and Cody rolled out of the way. Kevin hit the mat hard. Cody was up and gripped the small Posse leader by the nape of his neck. Cody whipped Kevin to the corner and followed him in with an elbow smash to his chest. Kevin's eyes bulged out of his head as Cody smashed his chest.

Derrick and Tommy whipped Pho to the ropes and met the Asian tough guy coming off with a double knee lift to the stomach. Pho doubled and Tommy bull dogged the tag teamer to the mat. Derrick moved behind Cody.

Cody sensed someone moving behind him and lashed out with a back heel kick. Derrick's gut took the hard impact and he back-pedaled.

Cody turned his attention back to Kevin. Cody's hands worked like pistons as he tore into the LW stomach. Kevin was out on his feet as Cody punched him to the canvas.

Doug was giving Lucien a good dose of whip ass as Willy and Kale held his arms. Lucien was gasping for air as Doug's rock hard fists tore up his soft flabby gut.

With Kevin down Cody turned to face Derrick, but Derrick had went back to work with Tommy on Pho.

Doug turned and saw Cody. He moved away from Lucien and turned to meet the former champ head to head.

Willy and Kale took over on the fat boy. They drove hard knee lifts into the fat swinging stomach. Lucien was starting to buckle as he took the hard ass kicking.

As Cody and Doug faced off, Pho was being driven to the corner by Tommy and Derrick. Thinking Pho was now handled by Tommy Derrick took aim at Cody. Kevin was still down in the corner clutching his stomach.

Cody and Doug met center ring and started hammering on each other. Cody was surprised by the powerful gutblasts Doug delivered. Doug forced Cody to the corner. Cody gripped the ropes as Doug's hard fists tore into his stomach. Cody then plowed both feet deep to Doug's sternum.

Cody started to move in on Doug when he was grabbed from behind by Derrick. Derrick cinched on a full nelson. Derrick then nodded to Doug. Doug moved in and laid into Cody's torso.

Willy and Kale had beaten Lucien down to the mat and were preparing to lift him up and toss him out.

Pho had nailed Tommy with two fast strikes to his belly and knocked the LW into Kevin. Pho decided to lend a hand with Lucien.

"Our next two contestants." Travis began. "Are from the MW ranks at 5'10,178 pounds, former MW champ, Frank. And from the LW ranks at 127 pounds, 5'7 also former MW champ: Chaz"

The two brothers were ecstatic. Not only were they both chosen, but they had been chosen to enter together.

They high fived each other and raced to join the action.

Pho saw them coming. So did Kale.

Kale stopped his attack on Lucien and moved to intercept Frank. As Frank hit the ropes and started over Kale gripped him in a throat slam, lifted and slammed him to the floor. Frank had been in action even less time then Jack.

Frank stood outside the ring protesting. He was pissed to think he would be eliminated so quickly.

Chaz dove under the bottom rope and drove a hard fist to Kale's balls. He would get revenge for Frank.

With Kale out of the way, Lucien sent a beefy forearm between Willy's legs and sent the tough LW to the canvas in agony. Lucien then stood to his feet and surveyed the situation.

Cody was almost out of it as Doug pounded the shit out of his stomach. Cody struggled weakly in Derrick's well-applied full nelson.

When Chaz had dropped Kale with a low blow, Pho gripped Chaz by the nape of his neck. He landed two hard shots to the boy's kidneys. Tommy and Kevin were on their feet. Both wanted a little revenge on Chaz.

"Pho, hold the little fucker." Kevin said with a devious smile. Pho locked Chaz up and Tommy and Kevin waded in.

Tommy and Kevin sent hard fists to Chaz's stomach. Chaz wheezed as the two LWs worked him over.

Willy was slowly getting back to his feet he stood and launched a flying drop kick at Pho's back. Pho fell forward and he, Chaz, Kevin and Tommy became a pile of entwined arms and legs.

Derrick had released Cody from his full nelson. Cody fell to his knees clutching his battered stomach. Derrick and Doug whipped Cody to the ropes. As Cody shot back they back body dropped the former HW champ over the top ropes. Cody hit the floor hard and lay stunned.

Doug, Derrick and Willy then turned their wrath back on Lucien.

Kale was finally recovering from Chaz's ball busting. He saw the tangle of wrestlers on the mat and reached down and drug Chaz to his feet. Kale lifted Chaz from the mat with a big haymaker right uppercut.

Chaz staggered to the corner. Kale was almost double Chaz's weight. Kale drove a solid knee to Chaz's slim stomach. Chaz dropped to his knees. Kale gripped Chaz by the nape of his neck and crotch slammed him to the mat.

Kale moved to join Derrick, Doug and Willy. It was time to finish off the Fat Boy.

Derrick and Doug had Lucien against the ropes as Willy was trying to lift his legs and toss him out.

Kale charged forward and rammed a big shoulder to Lucien's gut. Lucien wheezed loudly. Doug and Derrick followed with knee lifts.

Derrick and Doug whipped the fat boy across the ring. Lucien hit the ropes and flew back at them. Kale was set as Lucien hit the opposite rope Kale pulled the rope down. Lucien's own bulk carried him over the tope rope and to the arena floor.

Kale turned back and he was hit by a double clothesline from Doug and Derrick. The impact sent the big tag teamer over the top rope and down beside Lucien.

Kevin, Tommy and Pho were still down on the mat and going at it. The two LW were taking it to Pho hard and fast. Chaz was slowly getting back to his feet and searching for someone to attack.

Willy, Doug and Derrick were circling.

"Our next two wrestlers are" Travis began. "From the Heavyweights at 6'1" and 203pounds...BASTIAN! And from the tag teams...at 5' 11" and 185 pounds...JED!"

Chaz at last found someone to attack. He saw his fellow lightweights Kevin and Tommy hammering away on the tough tag teamer Pho. Even though Kevin and Tommy had beat him severely earlier he decided to join in their attack. The other lightweights accepted his help. The three tough little LW's closed in of Pho from three sides. Pho was in it deep!

Derrick, Willy and Doug were cautiously circling each other when they heard the next names were announced. Derrick and Willy knew full well that Doug and Bastian were the best of friends. They knew that if they allowed these two tough as nails heavyweights to work together they would make short work of everyone else. Willy gave Derrick a nod which the farm boy returned. In unison they charged Doug driving him backward to the ropes.

Pho was backed into a corner as the three lightys pounded the stuffing out of him. Pho fought back but his blows were coming less and less frequently and packing less and less power. The three were just too much for him to fight. As he smacked his jabs into Chaz , Tommy and Kevin ripped into his open side and gut. As he kicked Tommy in the chest, Chaz and Kevin laid in kicks and strikes of their own to his exposed body.

Willy and Derrick bounced Doug off the ropes and brought him down in a double gutbuster just as Bastian and Jed entered the action.

Bastian went right at Derrick to help his friend Doug. Willy looked at Jed and said, "Tie him up man so we can deal with Dougy boy here!" Jed figured Willy's plan made sense and caught Bastian from behind spinning him into his grasp. Jed was the bad boy of his tag team even though he was younger and a little smaller. He wrapped both arms around Bastian's barrel chest and took him down in a sidewalk slam!

Pho seemed to have punched himself out as he could barely lift his arms. He was down to his knees and his three little tormentors kept right on pounding away. Tommy then got behind Pho and wrapped an arm around his upper chest pulling him to his feet. Kevin and Chaz teed off on the lean but well softened body of the Asian boy. Pho felt the smaller fists ripping his muscle barrier to shreds as they worked their way deeper and deeper into his torso with each hit. Tommy pulled Pho backward and Kevin grabbed his feet. They began to heave him over the ropes.

Willy and Derrick had lifted Doug. They tossed him to the ropes. He came off them and they smacked a double clothesline across his chest. The hard blow flattened him and he groaned as he was a boxer primarily and was not used to this type of punishment.

Bastian had been stunned by Jed's sudden attack but Bastian was far to well conditioned to allow that single blow to take him out. He used both hands and drove simultaneous chops to either side of Jed's neck. Jed fell off to his side gripping at his neck. Bastian was furious at Jed's attack but decided to deal with him later. Right now his buddy Doug needed help.

Willy and Derrick had raised the battered Doug for another toss to the ropes. Bastian decided to take out the larger of Doug's attackers and put a hand to Derrick's shoulder.

Derrick felt the hand on his right shoulder spin him away from his target. He wondered what was up but didn't have long to ponder it as Bastian leveled him with a standing clothesline. Derrick went down hard and Bastian crushed and mighty stomp to those impressive abs Derrick sported.

Meanwhile the three lightys had Pho at the top of the rope. He almost seemed to be trying to crawl across it as he wrapped his arms and legs around the top cord. Beaten so severely he had no strength left to fight back all Pho could do was to try and hold on. He realized he was in a losing battle though as Kevin slammed a hard right to the side of his ribs. Tommy began dropping ax handles to his back and Chaz was swinging kick after kick up into his guts. Pho felt his strength waning and at last he could hold on no longer. As his grip on the top rope relaxed just a bit. Kevin fired another shot to his ribs and Chaz swung another vicious little kick to his belly. Both blows hit Pho at the same time and he was almost blasted off the top rope to which he had clung so tenaciously. He hit the floor with a thud and laid there gasping as he had taken a heck of a pounding at the hands of the "three little monsters."

When Bastian attacked Derrick that left only Willy to deal with Doug. But Doug was still reeling from earlier attacks. Willy was able to toss Doug to the ropes. The tough lightweight smacked into the rebounding Doug with a well-placed shoulder block. Doug dropped like a dead horse! Willy took a jump in the air and cam down with his butt crushing Doug's chest.

Bastian saw Willy's leveling of Doug and moved to beat the crap out of the blonde lightweight but Derrick reached up and grabbed his leg at the knee toppling him over.

Kevin, Tommy and Chaz now turned their attention to fellow lightweight Willy as he grappled with the heavyweight boxer Doug.

Kevin said, "Come on let's help Willy." But Doug was Tommy's good friend he couldn't bring himself to assist in his destruction. As Kevin helped Willy get Doug to his feet Tommy grabbed Chaz around the neck and powered him backward in a Russian leg sweep. Chaz went down hard at Tommy's surprise turncoating.

Jed was recovered now and rip-roaring mad. He saw Derrick trip up Bastian. He came dropping down on Bastian's back with an elbow. Bastian was still not really hurt but he wanted desperately to get to Doug's aid. But he could see Derrick and Jed were not going to make that an easy thing to do.

Kevin saw Tommy going after Chaz. He understood the reasons and really didn't care for Chaz anyway. Let them beat the shit out of each other he thought.

Willy and Kevin together whipped Doug to the ropes. Willy bent over to deliver an over the back suplex. Doug, though beaten to hell, saw the move and swung a kick aimed at Willy's bent over form. Kevin saw it and yelled,"Willy, watch out!" Kevin hurled himself at Doug catching the big boy's leg as it arched toward Willy's chest. Kevin's driving weight spun Doug's leg around as well as the rest of him. Willy saw Doug's back and gripped him around the waist and plowed him to the ropes. He lifted as hard as he could but Doug was just too much to handle alone and he couldn't quite heave him out.

Tommy had dropped a heavy knee to Chaz's soft belly. Chaz winced at the pain and Tommy pulled him up. He saw that Derrick and Jed had his other friend Bastian up and ready to toss him to a corner. Tommy Irish whipped Chaz and,like a human projectile, Chaz went crashing into Jed. The two of them went falling to the side of the ring.

Travis had pulled out the next two names. "Our next two wrestlers are, from the Middleweights at 5' 9" 170 pounds...STEFAN! and from the tag team division at 5'10," 170 pounds...HB!"

Stefan had been feeling very bad for his buddy Kyle as he had been ripped apart quite badly in the battle. But now Stefan was on top of the world as he had been chosen. He just knew he was going to do well as he ran to the ring.

The crowd booed the selection. Neither boy was well liked but both were undeniably tough. Kane slapped HB's ass and told his good buddy and partner to "Knock em dead."

Doug felt himself going over but grabbed the top rope Willy put his shoulder to Doug's butt and heaved the boy higher. Doug still held on. Kevin then got into the act and drove his small but very strong fist to Doug's kidney area. Doug felt the blow dig in and hurt him. Now with Kevin's additional muscle the task of ridding the ring of Doug was child's play. Willy and Kevin heaved Doug up and over the top. The two boys smiled and gave each other the high five. Kevin took an immediate liking to Willy.

Jed and Chaz were still laying in a pile as Tommy and Bastian turned to square off with Kevin, Derrick and Willy.

HB and Stefan entered and went their separate ways. HB immediately went after Kevin. He hated the mean SNAKE of a LW wrestler. Stefan went after Willy.

That left Tommy free to resume his punishment of Chaz and Bastian a free hand to go for Derrick. Jed was still down and forgotten for the minute.

HB charged Kevin and lifted him in the air and throat slammed him to the mat. HB then dropped both knees to Kevin's slight stomach. Kevin's eyes bulged big as the tough tag teamer dropped down on his stomach.

Stefan charged Willy. Willy was ready and sidestepped the charge and drove a muscleboy knee hard to Stefan's balls.

Stefan stopped in his tracks and doubled over. Willy drilled a thumb to his throat. Stefan collapsed in a heap. Willy saw Jed getting to his feet and launched a standing drop kick at his head. Jed saw it coming and swatted Willy away like a mosquito.

Willy hit the mat hard and Jed stomped down on the tough LW.

Tommy had poor little Chaz backed to the corner and was driving hard ass punches to his lower belly. Chaz was trying to drop to his knees but Tommy was holding him erect. Tommy stood back and drove the point of his boot deep into Chaz's tenderized abdominals. Chaz sagged in the ropes. Tommy left Chaz alone and moved to help HB with the SNAKE, Kevin.

HB had Kevin reversed schoolboy pinned and was driving axe handle blows to his gut. Kevin was gasping for breath, but his gasps were smothered under HB 's butt.

HB saw Tommy standing there and grinned. He knew there was no love loss here and sat up. He held Kevin pinned as Tommy leaped up and crashed down on Kevin's wide-open gut with both feet.

Bastian was looking for payback on the big hick. He and Derrick locked up collar and elbow. Bastian forced Derrick to the corner and drove a muscleboy power punch deep into his ripped abs. Derrick grunted loudly from the power of Bastian's well-placed fist.

Stefan was getting slowly back to his feet. He saw HB holding Kevin pinned as Tommy laid stomp after stomp to his gut. Stefan charged HB and leveled him with an elbow to the back of the head. Chaz had recovered enough to pearl harbor Tommy. The two LW's tumbled to the mat in a flurry of fists and elbows.

Jed was dragging a winded Willy to his feet. He flung the tough teen to the ropes and met him coming off with a brutal back breaker. Willy fell to the mat clutching his back. As he arched up Jed dropped an elbow to his sternum. Willy gasped for air.

Stefan had HB set for a pile driver. Jed charged the muscle-bound MW and drove a knee to his back. HB and Stefan fell to the mat. Jed then lifted Stefan by his trunks.

Both being tag teamers, Jed nodded to HB. HB understood. He lie on his back and raised his legs. Jed power slammed Stefan gut first over HB's knees.

Kevin was getting back to his feet and moved to assist Chaz with Tommy. HB saw Kevin going for Tommy and he dove for Kevin. HB caught Kevin by his trunks and whipped him around and into Jed. Jed met the small LW with a power punch to the stomach. Kevin was lifted off his feet and Jed tossed him back to HB. HB dropped to his knees and drove a brutal uppercut into Kevin's bright red belly.

Jed and HB then each hooked one of Kevin's arms. They lifted the small wrestler and double gutbusted him. Kevin let out a cry of agony. Willy was back on his feet just as HB raised Kevin over his head and prepared to toss him from the ring. Willy charged HB but was met by a shoulder block from Jed.

HB flexed Kevin three times like he was nothing and pitched him over the ropes.

Kevin hit the floor chest first with thud. The audience cheered loudly as the Posse leader was ousted.

Derrick was still locked in the corner as Bastian worked him over. Derrick finally decided that he had taken enough shit from the tough HW. Derrick sent his knee directly to Bastian's nuts. Bastian grunted and doubled over. As he did Derrick slammed a knee lift to his face. Bastian stumbled back to the ropes.

Jed and Willy were slugging the shit out of each other as they stood toe to toe. Stefan was back to his feet and charged HB from behind. He caught HB around the back and drove him face first to the turnbuckle. Stefan then saw Derrick taking it to Bastian. He broke from HB and went to assist.

Stefan slipped behind Bastian and swung a leg between the HW's legs and busted his balls again. Bastian fell into Derrick who lifted him up and power bombed him hard to the mat. As Bastian hit Stefan dropped an elbow to his stomach. Bastian whomfed out his air and rolled to his side.

As all of this was going on, Tommy was still duking it out with Chaz. Tommy was giving the former MW champ a good taste of a LW's wrath. Tommy lifted Chaz and gutbusted the kid over his bony knee. Tommy then flung Chaz to the ropes and met him with a high back drop.

HB moved from the corner and headed to assist Bastian. He charged and drove a power punch to Derrick's kidneys. Stefan was putting the boots to the HW when he saw Derrick go down hard. Stefan moved away from Bastian and charged HB.

Jed had finally decked muscleboy Willy with a right cross to the jaw. Willy lie on the mat sucking wind.

Jed turned just as Tommy back dropped Chaz.

Jed moved like lightening and scooped Tommy up. He pile drove Tommy into Chaz's stomach.

Tommy fell to the mat and grinned at Jed. Jed smiled back. "He's all yours. Tommy. Kick his ass."

Tommy wasted no time dragging Chaz to his feet. He whipped the beaten boy to the ropes. Chaz grabbed the ropes and hung on. Tommy charged and nailed the boy with a clothesline that flipped Chaz over the top rope and to the arena floor.

Jed and Tommy decided to team up and go after Willy.

Bastian and Derrick were just getting to their feet and circling. HB and Stefan were locked up collar and elbow.

Travis reached into the bag and pulled out two more names.

"Our next two contestants are from the HW division weighing 225 pounds and standing 6'2: Jake. And from the tag team division standing 6'1 and weighing 186 pounds: Greg"

Roby slapped Jake across the back. "Go get em, bud. Make the HW division proud."

Jake nodded and trotted down the aisle to join the fray.

Alan cheered loudly as his partner got chosen. Alan knew Greg would go right after Jed. "Tear em up." Alan shouted to Greg as he headed to the ring.

Jake hit the ring and plowed right into Derrick. Derrick was flattened under the bulk of the HW wrestler. Jake then drug Derrick to his feet and locked the tough ass MW in a full nelson. Jake held Derrick out as an offering to Bastian. Bastian went to work. His rock hard fists worked like pistons as he tore into Derrick's ripped abdominals.

As Jed, Tommy and Willy circled Greg hit the ring. Willy saw Greg coming and focused his attention on Tommy. Greg hit Jed hard a cross the back with a flying elbow.

Jed was taken totally by surprise at Greg's attack into him. As they fell to the mats Greg got on top of Jed sitting on his waist and pounded down a hard hammer strike to Jed's firm pecs. Jed fired a shot back that Greg blocked. Greg then heaved his own body up and plunged it back down as he sat into Jed's stomach. Greg felt Jed whoosh out his breath and plunked his 186 pounds down onto Jed's body a few more times to keep the tough boy winded.

Tommy looked a little intimidated as an enraged Willy closed in on him. Tommy had learned much from Bastian and Doug. He had become much tougher and stronger. But Willy was without a doubt one of the lightweight division's toughest boys. Tommy seemed to know he was outgunned. He decided to strike first and landed a quick left and right to Willy's upper and lower abdomen. Willy, was surprised by the force Tommy packed but it was not enough to stop Willy from plowing forward with a clothesline that dropped Tommy. Willy then tramped down on Tommy's stomach with all he had and Tommy was writhing in pain.

HB and Stefan were locked collar and elbow. Both boys were very strong but Stefan's long hours of weight training began to pay off as he slowly muscled HB into a side headlock. Stefan smiled as he took control of the infamous HB! He sent a closed fist to the trapped boy's forehead. HB was enraged but he was now hurting too. Stefan felt HB throw an elbow to his ripped abs. Stefan absorbed the blow with no problem. He squeezed HB's head harder and forced him to his knees. Stefan wondered why everyone thought HB was so tough. He was handling him with ease!

Derrick struggled under the full nelson of Jake but the big heavyweight's muscles were just too much for even the powerful Derrick to overcome. What made Derrick's position even more troublesome was the fact that another strong heavyweight, Bastian, was ripping in devastating punches to his stomach. Derrick's ab wall was very hard but Bastian's punches were breaking it down. Each blow went a little deeper into Derrick's firm belly. He could hardly manage to even get in a breath of air before it was knocked out of him again. He felt the end was near for him as the two heavy's took him apart!

Jed was getting angrier and angrier at Greg. He was not above using a cheap shot and decided now was the time. He sent a thumb to Greg's throat and gagged the boy sitting on him. Greg toppled over to his side as Jed got to his feet. He slammed a boot point into Greg's sternum and turned Greg over to his stomach by grabbing a foot and twisting it. Jed ripped off three heavy kicks to Greg's muscular thigh making his fellow tag teamer groan in pain.

Willy had pulled Tommy up by his hair. Tommy was hurting and Willy showed no mercy as he drove the smaller boy's face to the nearest turnbuckle. Tommy sagged in the corner and Willy kicked him hard in the kidney making him sink further. Willy then leapt and drove a knee to Tommy's back. Tommy's arms were outstretched on the middle rope. Willy kept his knee in his fellow LW's back and grabbed the back of Tommy's hair and rammed his face over and over into the middle turnbuckle. Tommy was nearly out of commission as Willy beat him like a red headed step child.

Bastian rocked back on his heels and plowed Derrick's navel with a punch that rocked Derrick's insides to the core. He wheezed but could not double over as Jake still held him like a baby in his full nelson. Derrick thought he could take no more after that hit. He almost wanted out of the ring now. But Bastian didn't send in the finishing blow. He acted on his loyalties first as he saw his "little buddy" Tommy being whipped to shit by Willy. He broke off the assault on Derrick and grabbed Willy's hair from behind yanking him off Tommy who collapsed in a pile barely moving.

Willy's eyes grew big as saucers as he saw it was Bastian that had him by the back of the head. Bastian said, "You little fucker, lets see how you like someone bigger than you hitting on you for a while!" At that Bastian smacked a huge fist that caught Willy low in the belly right on the waistband of his trunks. Bastian felt the satisfying sensation of soft gut meat wrap around his fist. Willy's eyes bulged out and his face grew red. He bent over Bastian's arm. Bastian crushed his elbow down bisecting Willy's shoulder blades and Willy dropped like he had been shot.

Travis reached in and pulled out the next two names. He said, "Our next contestants are, from the lightweight division at 5' 11" and weight 144 pounds... his name's Justin Paul but everyone calls him ...JP! and, from the ranks of the middleweights, at 5' 10" 186 pounds...GABRIEL!"

Stefan took HB down in a perfect DDT. HB was down seeing stars as Stefan rolled him over to his back. Stefan had that same gleefully evil grin as he began to put the boots to HB's body. Heavy boots landed all over HB's chest and stomach. In a more devious move Stefan even raked his boot down over the side of HB's head across his ear. HB howled in pain and rolled to his side and grabbed his ear with one hand as he wrapped his other arm around his midsection. Stefan still had the back as a wide open target and began to drive his boot toe into it. Stefan took great delight as he handled one of the most feared boys in TW with no problem at all. He even insulted HB as he kicked the crap out of him, "You're nothing HB, NOTHING, you hear me? Maybe when I get done with you I'll challenge your punk ass partner to a singles match"! HB couldn't answer. His body jerked as Stefan took it to him hard! But HB was no way going to let this wanna be beat him like this. He found some inner resolve and vowed to take Stefan down and take him down HARD!

Jake had been ready to put the finishing touches on Derrick with Bastian's help. But when Bastian went on his mission to rescue Tommy that left Jake alone holding Derrick. The strong farm boy was as surprised as anyone that Bastian didn't take him out with another massive blow. But he was not going to argue with Bastian's motives. He planted his feet to the mats and drove Jake backward. Jake was taken off guard as his back connected hard with the turnbuckles. He was forced to let Derrick go. Derrick fell to his hands and knees. His abs were really in pain after Bastian's work over on them.

Gabriel and JP hit the ring at the same time. Tommy was just getting to his feet as they entered. Tommy had been whipped to shit and looked it as he barely pulled himself up the ropes. Gabe said to JP, "Check him out," pointing to Tommy, "What ya want to do with him?" JP said, "Its a Battle Royal Gabe. Just toss him the hell out!" Gabe shrugged and the baby faced and just slightly pudgy middleweight grabbed Tommy under his sweaty pits and heaved him up and over the top rope. Tommy was to battered to resist as he landed on his butt on the arena floor.

Gabriel and JP took in the action that was going on as they decided where to try to fit in.

Jake grabbed Derrick by the nape of the neck.

Stefan stomped down at HB who dodged the boot.

Bastian was pulling Willy to his feet.

Jed had Greg locked in a figure four leg lock

Bastian was enraged as he pulled Willy to his feet then drove a powerful right fist to his lower belly. Willy whished out his air and fell over the clenched fist. Bastian kept his fist in the LW's gut and turned it into an ab claw. Bastian lifted Willy high in the air and held him over his head by the abdominal claw. Willy screamed in agony as his guts were ripped apart.

Gabe did not like HB, but he disliked Stefan more. When HB dodged Stefan's stomp, Gabe charged Stefan and leveled him with a shoulder block to the back. Stefan hit the ropes chest first and flew back towards Gabe, who drove a fist to the center of the tough MW's lower back. Stefan fell to his knees.

HB had finally gotten to his feet. He nodded weakly to Gabe who was locking Stefan in a full nelson.

Greg was withering in pain as Jed worked his legs over in the figure four leg lock. JP did not like either tag teamer, but decided for the time being to give Jed a hand. JP hit the ropes and dropped a powerful bony elbow to Greg's chest. Greg cried out as his chest was hammered by the LW.

Jake pulled Derrick to his feet. He then lifted the tough hick and gutbusted him over his knees. Derrick howled in pain as his powerful abs took more bashing.

Willy was almost out of it as Bastian held him up by the vicious ab claw. He knew screaming out a submission would do no good in a battle royal. He had to wait and hope Bastian would toss him over the ropes.

Bastian had other ideas. He hefted Willy high over his head and dropped the LW down across his knees in a brutal gutbuster. Willy almost blew his lunch. His gut had never been busted that hard in his young life. Willy curled into a fetal position as Bastian moved back in to assist Jake with Derrick.

But Bastian was waylaid. He saw Stefan level HB with a vicious kick to the groin. He decided to help Gabe pummel Stefan. Bastian thought the tough MW was a prick.

Both Willy and HB were down and out of action.

JP was dropping power punches to Greg's chest and stomach as Jed worked his legs over in the figure four. Greg was in agony as the little LW pummeled his torso. Greg was used to being doubled teamed, but nothing like this. In a normal match he had a partner to assist him.

Jake had Derrick locked in a brutal camel clutch and was stretching the hick out.

As Stefan was about to work free from Gabriel's full nelson Bastian drilled him with a vicious power punch to the stomach. Stefan smirked. "Best you got, WIMP?"

Bastian saw red. He set in a boxer's stance and laid into Stefan like his belly was a heavy bag.

Stefan's powerful ripped abs took three hard shots then started to cave in. Stefan started to wheezed as Bastian drove power punch after power punch to his chiseled abdominals.

Jake was getting a big surprise. Derrick had powered to his knees and was trying to flip Jake off. Jake was trying to muscle Derrick back down when he was struck with a drop kick from behind. Willy had gotten back to his feet and decided to assist Derrick.

Willy was preparing to drop an elbow across Jake's throat when he was lifted from behind and atomic dropped by HB. Willy staggered forward and hit the turnbuckle face first. HB followed him in and drove an axe handle blow to the small of Willy's back. Willy dropped to his knees sucking wind.

Stefan was now sagging in Gabriel's arms as Bastian continued to destroy his chiseled abs.

Bastian pulled back and sent a powerful fist to Stefan's sternum. Stefan's eyes bulged big as the hard fist tore into his chest. Stefan sagged in Gabe' s arms.

HB was standing behind Willy driving forearms into his back. Willy was face first against the turnbuckle.

Jake and Derrick were getting to their knees and staring each other down.

JP was now reverse schoolboy pinning Greg and wailing into his torso as Jed cranked on his ferocious figure four leg lock.

Gabe released the full nelson. Stefan fell forward into Bastian who lifted him for a crotch slam. Bastian carried Stefan to the ropes and slammed him down hard over the top rope and to the arena floor.

Before Bastian could turn around Gabe launched a drop kick to his back. Bastian hit the ropes chest first and bounced back. Gabe bull dogged the HW to the mat. Then got up looking for another target.

Jed finally told JP to back off. Jed released the figure four leg lock and stood up. He reached down to drag Greg to his feet. As he did he was hit from behind with a flying elbow from Gabe.

Gabe pivoted and dropped JP with a boot to the stomach. Gabe then moved to assist Willy.

Travis reached into the bag and pulled the next two names. He was enjoying the carnage in the ring and felt bad he was not a part of it. He glanced at the two names in his hand, and was suddenly glad he was on the outside.

He knew before he read the two names things were about to change for the worst.

"The next two wrestlers to enter the action are from the HW division. First standing 6'2 and weighing 230 pounds is Steve. Next standing 6' tall and weighing 271 pounds is Ryan."

A hush fell over the arena as these two massive HW wrestlers charged the ring.

All action in the ring stopped as the wrestlers heard the next two names. The nine guys locked eyes and knew they had to work together or they would all be quickly eliminated.

Gabe, Willy, and HB stood together.

Bastian, moved over and joined Derrick and Jake.

Greg was sagging on the ropes as Jed and JP stood beside him. All nine knew they had to function together for a few minutes.

What they did not count on was Ryan's total dislike of Steve.

As the two awesome HW wrestlers hit the ring, Ryan turned to Steve. Steve thought Ryan wanted to team up and let his guard down. Ryan snickered and plowed a vicious knee to Steve's groin.

Steve dropped like a ton of bricks.

Greg, Jed and JP moved in on the hurt Steve.

Bastian, Derrick and Jake circled with Ryan.

HB and Gabe decided to work Willy over a little more. The two MW's drug the winded and battered Willy to his feet and flung him to the ropes. They greeted Willy with a double back breaker. Willy fell to the mat and lie still. HB and Gabe then moved to assist the others.

Jake and Derrick charged Ryan and bulled the super HW to the ropes. They each drilled a knee lift to his stomach. Bastian charged and launched a drop kick that hit Ryan dead in the chest.

Jed and JP had Steve spread eagle as Greg double stomped his gut.

Jake and Derrick whipped Ryan across the ring and to the ropes. Ryan hit back first and flew back. Derrick and Jake leapt in the air and caught the big HW with a double drop kick. Ryan staggered but did not go down. Bastian had climbed to the top rope. He dove off and caught Ryan with both feet to the chest. Ryan staggered back to the corner and dropped to his knees. The three big guys moved in.

Jed and Greg had lifted Steve from the mat and were holding between them. HB and Gabe lined up. HB struck Steve with a drop kick from behind as Gabe struck him with one to his chest. Both MW's connected in unison.

JP decided to work on Willy. He moved back in on the hurting LW.

Bastian's high drop kick off the top rope had done a number on the super heavyweight Ryan. He practically fell into the corner he knew he had problems, three of them actually and they were called Bastian, Jake and Derrick. Ryan was big and undeniably tough but he had a mountain to climb if he was going to best these three monsters. The only thing that worked to his favor was that the three of them had been in action for a while and were already tired and wounded.

He lashed out with a big foot that drilled Jake in the lower belly. Jake folded. He then swung a big forearm around nailing Bastian across the ear. He spun around holding his head. Derrick was lunging at him but Ryan caught the muscle bound farm boy in mid leap around the chest. Ryan then dropped immediately slamming Derrick down in a quasi-DDT. It did the job as Derrick was down and not moving much.

Steve had been stunned badly by the double drop kick courtesy of Gabriel and HB. Now tag teamers Greg and Jed hoisted him up again and tossed him to the ropes. The tough HB and the hefty Gabriel made like linebackers on a quarterback and drilled powerful shoulders to the rebounding Steve. Steve went slamming down with force that shook the ring.

Willy was beaten and barely able to stand. So he was helped to his feet by fellow lightweight Justin Paul. But JP was only setting Willy up so he could slam him back down with a standing clothesline which he delivered with perfection. The bony but strong arm of JP then slammed home again as he dropped down with an elbow that tore into Willy's already tortured gut. The cute blonde was moaning in pain.

Ryan was getting off Derrick when Jake came at him again. From a kneeling position Ryan sent a beefy fist to Jake's stomach stopping his advance. Bastian then came in from the other side. Ryan turned, still on his knees, and gave the HW boxer/wrestler the same treatment. Bastian was stunned at the power Ryan packed and backed off rubbing his gut. Ryan stepped carelessly on Derrick's head as he got to his feet.

Now it was HB's and Gabe's turn to hold Steve. Each took an arm of the dazed and winded heavyweight. Jed and Greg then each sent a hard boot heel to Steve's abs. Steve felt both feet dig into his belly and tried fold in two but HB and Gabe held him upright. Jed then launched himself into the ropes and came back aiming a drop kick at the captured Steve.

Greg had not forgot about the brutal treatment Jed had given him. He had vowed revenge and decided Jed was ripe for the picking. Greg launched his own drop kick that shot Jed out of the air like a clay pigeon. Jed went bouncing across the mats. Gabe, HB and even Steve were surprised at Greg's break in unity. Steve felt the grips of his holders relax just a little and with a sudden jerk broke free. He quickly wrapped a powerful arm around the head of both HB and Gabriel and dropped down nailing both boys in a never before seen duel DDT. Even though Steve was not well liked, the crowd was duly impressed by the move.

JP sent a hard kick to Willy's ribs and pulled him up again by his blonde locks. JP lifted his rather thin but bony knee up into Willy's aching belly. Willy doubled over and JP whipped his other knee up and into Willy's firm pecs sending him down flat to his back spread eagle. JP then dropped down with a double knee drop that crushed into Willy's guts as his abs offered no resistance whatsoever.

Ryan was striking out wildly and doing well as he kept both Jake and Bastian at bay. He connected more often than not with massive blows from his fists, forearms and feet. Just when Jake and Bastian were ready to try to move in again Derrick recovered enough to get back into the action. Ryan had forgot about the big middleweight at his feet. But when Derrick reached up and grabbed both of Ryan's flabby legs toppling him over Ryan was reminded of his presence. Jake and Bastian dropped down each landing an elbow to the back of the 271 pounder.

Travis reached into the bag and pulled out two of the remaining four names, He chucked as he read them and soon the crowd understood why, "Our next two contestants are, from the middleweights at 6' and 185 pounds...VINNY! and from the lightweights, at 5 '8" and 136 pounds...BENJI!"

The crowd applauded Vinny and laughed at Benji. Benji had the reputation of being the wimpiest boy in TW, and deservedly so. But he had heart and determination and those were important qualities. He rushed to the ring along side of the well built Vinny who just said, "Stay out of my way kid and don't make me hurt you!"

Greg unleashed his anger at Jed by sending a kick to the ribs and pulled him to his feet. Jed struck back but Greg dodged it and called out to JP who was doing little more than torturing poor Willy at this point. JP looked up and saw what Greg wanted immediately. JP really didn't care who he helped get out at this point. Greg Irish whipped Jed toward JP who hooked Jed's arms and dropped to his back planting both feet to the tag teamer's gut and did a perfect monkey flip tossing him over the top rope.

Vinny and Benji entered the action. Vinny saw Ryan as the biggest threat and decided to help Bastian and Jake with the big boy. Benji glanced around nervously. He saw the likes of HB and Willy down and moaning. He wondered what would become of a little guy like himself.

Greg smiled as he watched Jed sail out of the ring but a charging clothesline from Steve brought his attention back inside the ropes. Greg landed hard and Steve dropped down with a punch to the sternum as he wanted revenge on all who had doubled up on him.

He had HB and Gabriel still down and stunned from his DDT's and now Steve began climbing the ropes to drop down onto the laying form of Greg. Just as Steve reached the top he turned and was shocked to see the body of the little Benji in mid leap. Benji had seen Steve mount the ropes and timed his run and drop kick perfectly. As Steve turned on the ropes Benji's two small but well aimed feet accompanied by his 136 pounds speared Steve's hard torso. The kick didn't really hurt but it sure enough knocked Steve off balance. He fell to the arena floor. The crowd cheered Benji's efforts. The little fella had just taken out one of the biggest, toughest heavyweights in the contest. Steve was furious at being eliminated and by Benji no less!

The dog pound erupted with hoots and hollers of praise to the lucky little lightweight. Benji smiled as it slowly sunk in what he had actually done. But he didn't have long to savor it as, he was leveled by a clothesline from a charging JP!

Greg turned and saw Willy struggling to his feet. He pulled the severely beaten boy up and had his turn with him. Greg slammed another crushing blow to Willy's stomach. Willy thought he was going to puke as his guts were smashed yet again. He hung limply and Greg let him fall to his hands and knees. He then sent a hard kick to Willy's underbelly flipping on to his back. Greg smacked a double ax handle to Willy's upper abdomen as he lay gasping. Another knee drop with all of Greg's 186 pounds behind it squished Willy's lower belly just below the waistband of his trunks. The tough LW lay flat on his back sucking wind as Greg heard HB and Gabriel moving in behind him.

Derrick still held Ryan's legs as Jake, Bastian and now Vinny attacked him.

JP was pulling the startled Benji to his feet

HB and Gabriel had cleared their heads and decided to take on Greg who had broke their alliance against Steve.

Willy lay practically motionless except for the deep heaving of his beaten stomach. The tough LW was a battered mess.

Steve was pissed as he made his way back to the locker room. Everyone was laughing at him and a couple of the young girls in the audience snickered. Steve kicked the steel barracade and stormed up the aisle. He did not look at his fellow wrestlers.

Dane could not help but gloat. Steve was one of the toughest HW's in the division.

Dane remembered how Steve had cheered and gotten cocky when Cody had been ousted. He stood to his feet.

"How'd it feel to pull a JACK, tough guy?" Dane shouted out to the red faced Steve.

The other wrestlers laughed.

Steve turned towards Dane and clenched his fists. "Watch it Dane. I already took you down once."

Dane just grinned. "You got lucky, BIG MAN." Dane shot back. "You didn't do so well in the four corners match."

Steve was furious. "Take me on, Champ. Guaranteed you will not be champ for long."

A hush fell over the Dog Pound as Steve challenged Dane. All waited to see if Dane would back down or take the challenge.

Dane stood tall and proud. "You got it, ASSHOLE."

Steve walked to the locker room smirking. He would soon have the coveted HW title jacket.

As Steve walked away all eyes returned to the action in the ring.

Back in the ring the action was hitting a feverish pitch as HB and Gabe charged Greg and bulled him to the ropes. HB and Gabe gripped Greg's arms and flipped him from the corner. Greg landed hard on top of the just starting to get to his knees Willy. Willy crumbled back to the mat under Greg's bulk.

HB and Gabe then dropped elbows to Greg's chest and stomach further squashing Willy who was trapped underneath Greg.

JP had Benji up and was powering a hard right uppercut to Benji's soft stomach. Benji fell forward over JP's fist. JP quickly slammed his other hand down across Benji's back. Benji dropped to his knees and JP sent a forearm to the side of his head, toppling the smaller LW to his side.

JP then lifted Benji and gutbusted the little dude hard over his knees. Benji fell to the canvas clutching his stomach and wheezing. JP decided to end the little wimp's tenure in the ring. He gripped Benji by his trunks and the nape of his neck. JP hefted the LW into the air and tossed him over the top rope.

HB and Gabe had lifted a winded Greg from a battered Willy. They sent Greg to the ropes and met him coming off with a vicious double punch to the lower belly. Greg gasped for breath as he crumbled to his knees. JP charged Greg from behind. He gripped his head and slammed it hard to the mat. Greg withered in pain. HB and Gabe then put the boots to Greg's ribs and back.

In the other corner Derrick was still holding Ryan's big beefy legs as Jake, Bastian and Vinny pummeled his torso with hard stomps and power punches. Ryan was a tough guy, but even he was starting to fade under the constant pummeling he was taking.

Derrick finally released Ryan's legs and stood to his feet. The four tough teens knew they had to get this behemoth out of the ring.

Jake and Bastian hauled Ryan to his feet and whipped him to the ropes. Derrick and Vinny connected with dual drop kicks to Ryan's pecs. Ryan staggered back into the ropes. Jake and Bastian charged and delivered a double knee lift to Ryan's stomach.

Ryan grunted and clung to the ropes. Jake and Bastian then drilled double fisted blows to his gut. Ryan's legs started to buckle under the onslaught.

Vinny and Derrick locked eyes, then signaled Bastian and Jake. All four teens knew their part. Bastian and Jake gripped Ryan's arms and flung him towards Derrick and Vinny. Derrick and Vinny set themselves to back drop Ryan. As Ryan was flung towards them, Derrick and Vinny bent down. They hooked Ryan's legs then used his momentum to back body drop him over the top rope and to the arena floor.

As Ryan hit the floor with a thud, Travis reached in the bag and drew the final two names.

"And the final two wrestlers in this 28 man BATTLE ROYAL are both from the MW division. First standing 5'10 and weighing 163 pounds: Timon and standing 5'10 and weighing 181 pounds Jordan."

Jordan was shocked he was called. He quickly stuffed his Twinkie in his mouth and swallowed as he headed to the ring. He was ready to kick some ass.

Jordan already knew whom he wanted out. He charged the ring and went right for Willy.

Willy was just getting to his feet as he was slammed hard by the big frame of Jordan. Jordan drove Willy to the corner and started hammering hard shots to his already beaten belly.

While Willy was getting pounded on by Jordan, Timon moved in on Vinny.

Bastian turned back to Derrick. As he did Jake gripped Bastian in a full nelson. He grinned at Derrick.

Derrick did not hesitate. He went to work on Bastian's torso with hard blows. He owed this dude some payback. Derrick plowed into Bastian's stomach with brutal uppercut punches. Bastian was impressed by this Farm Boy's power.

Timon and Vinny were slugging it out toe to toe.

JP moved to assist HB and Gabe.

Greg was in big trouble as the three teens maneuvered him to the ropes.

Jordan had hammered poor Willy down to the mat. He gripped the LW legs and drug him from the corner. Jordan double stomped the beaten blond boy's gut. Willy wheezed and folded up. Jordan reached down and drug Willy to his feet. Jordan slammed one more meaty fist to Willy badly beaten stomach. Willy dropped to his knees in sheer agony. He had never been beaten on like this in his life.

Jordan lifted the winded teen and gutbusted him. Willy wheezed as he struggled to draw a breath. Jordan then drove the teen to the ropes. Willy clung to them to stop from recoiling. Jordan charged and clotheslined the LW over the top rope. Willy hit the arena floor and lay there clutching his battered stomach.

Willy did not move. He just stayed put as he hugged his gut.

Jordan glanced around the ring. He checked the battles going on. HB, Gabe and JP were taking it to Greg. Derrick and Jake were working Bastian over. Timon and Vinny were slugging it out.

Jordan then set his sights on..

Jordan decided to let Vinny and Timon work each other over for a while. He knew the two remaining heavyweights would be the toughest competition. Greg had three guys on him and probably wouldn't be around much longer. Jordan went over and offered his help with Bastian. Derrick had been in a while now and was actually beginning to tire even though he was not getting beat on...at the moment. Jordan stepped in front of Bastian and speared him in the upper stomach with a hard driving boot. He heard Bastian wheeze at the blow and Jordan was quite pleased with himself. He made a motion for Jake to toss Bastian. Jake nodded Jordan then said to Derrick patting his shoulder,"Right here man!" Derrick understood and grinned. He was having a ball!

Willy was still down and not moving much on the floor. Wesley had been in the locker room and didn't see his good friend was tossed out after having been totally brutalized. Luke was another of Willy's friends and he came to Willy's side. He put a hand on his chest and said, "Hey buddy, you gonna be OK?" Willy was hurting like he didn't think possible. But there were not any serious injuries. He said weakly, "Yeah, I'm OK I just need a hand is all." Luke pulled his smaller blonde friend up and was helping him to the locker room when Wesley appeared and offered to assist. Luke had never really liked Wes or Willy's association with him and he put a palm to Wesley's chest and shoved him away saying, "Get lost freak!" Wesley's and Willy's eyes met but no words were spoken. Willy wondered why it was Luke and not Wesley that had come to his aid when he needed it Vinny and Timon were two superbly well conditioned middleweights. Vinny was taller and heavier with long arms and legs. His torso was slender but ripped with muscle. He had another quality well suited to this contest too he was mean as a snake! Timon had a big barrel chest that screamed power. He was an original member of TW and had proven his abilities time and again. The two tough MWs locked up. Timon pressed into Vinny but Vinny's weight advantage showed itself and he powered Timon into a corner. Vinny raised a knee to Timon's ripped abs that the slightly smaller boy seemed to absorb without affect. Vinny slowly slid Timon's head down and wrapped it in a side headlock. Vinny then spun himself around pulling Timon out of the corner only to slam the top of his head back into it! Vinny felt some of the fight go out of him and he released the head lock and delivered a wicked double ax handle to Timon's back with his lanky, muscular arms. Timon went to his knees.

As JP, Gabriel and HB closed in on him Greg knew he had to think fast. If these three boys wanted him out there was little he could do about it. He lashed out with a quick strike hoping to take out the smallest of them with a single blow. Then maybe he stood a chance. He showed amazing quickness and he shot a hard kick to JP's lean stomach. The tall lightweight doubled over and Greg bolted out of the corner flattening JP with a shoulder as he did. Gabriel and HB followed him as he traversed the ring.

Jake whipped Bastian into the ropes. Derrick and Jordan lowered their heads and charged. Bastian was a mighty figure, 203 pounds of teen muscle, but even he could not withstand the force of two of TW's biggest and toughest middleweights slamming into him. Derrick and Jordan's shoulder block lifted Bastian off his feet and he went crashing down to the canvas. Jake had prepared himself as he saw what the MW's were doing. No sooner had Bastian hit the mats than Jake dropped a big leg across his chest. Bastian had been worked over hard!

Vinny drove the sole of his boot down onto Timon's back forcing Timon to lean into the corner on the middle rope. Vinny straddled his body and gripped his curly hair and rammed his face into the middle turnbuckle a few times before letting him slump further to the floor.

HB tackled the fleeing Greg around the ankles and Gabriel gave a leap and came down on Greg's back with all his 186 pounds. Greg gasped and the two boys lifted him by the arms. Gabriel was not a tag teamer like HB but he performed the double toss to the ropes as if it were second nature to him. HB and Gabe performed an over the back body toss and Greg went sailing up and came down hard. Double elbow drops across the chest and stomach had Greg in a world of hurt. JP was now to his feet and mad as a hornet at Greg. He saw HB and Gabriel pulling the beaten guy up again. He called out and slapped his shoulder. HB & Gabe figured if JP wanted him he could have him! They tossed Greg and JP performed his own over the back body toss but he had positioned himself near the ropes. Greg went up and out of the ring. The remaining lightweight in the battle had done himself proud.

Jake saw that Jordan and Derrick were ready to dish out some more punishment so he pulled the weary Bastian up and over to the ropes. He signaled Derrick and Jordan to get ready. The two MWs took a charging stance. Jake gripped Bastian's arms and locked them behind is back. Bastian saw Derrick and Jordan ready to ram their hard charging forms into his already battered torso. He knew he would not be able to take that sort of punishment. And if he did, he would not have much fight left in him. But it was too late the two middleweights had begun their run.

Bastian then whipped his head back and caught Jake's nose. Jake released Bastian at the sharp pain. Bastian dropped down and grabbed Jake's legs at the knees and lifted him slightly. Derrick and Jordan saw the move but it was too late to stop their charge. They plowed into Jake's raised body and the big heavyweight was tossed over the ropes and to the floor.

Gabriel saw Vinny bashing his good friend Timon into the turnbuckles. Gabe was loyal and trustworthy and nobody hurt his friends. He ran at Vinny's blind side and raised a knee that slammed the tall middleweight's rib cage. Vinny fell against the ropes. Gabriel then sent a heavy fist to Vinny's ripped stomach then snagged his head and snap tossed him to the mats. Timon rested for a minute as Gabriel made ready to work on Vinny.

JP didn't have long to celebrate his ouster of Greg. When Gabriel took off after Vinny that left HB all alone. The formidable tag teamer took aim at JP and rushed him. JP was deceivingly strong for his body type. He had a thin, almost frail body. He was built for agility and maneuvers not duking it out. But that's what he had to do now and HB plowed a shoulder into his bony chest, tied him up and sent several well-placed blows to JP's lean belly. JP felt the knuckles sink in deep and he wheezed as took the hard blows!

Bastian was still down on the mats and panting hard as Jake was removed from the action. Derrick and Jordan looked down at the war weary Bastian. They gave each other a knowing look...

Gabe waited for Timon to get to his feet and they moved in on Vinny. They stomped his chest and stomach then drug the tough teen to his feet and sent him to the ropes. Vinny ricocheted off and was greeted by a double super kick to the chest. Vinny flailed back to the ropes. Gabe and Timon charged catching the mighty muscleboy with a double knee lift to the stomach.

Vinny was tough but he could not take the brutal double-teaming tactics of the two big middleweights.

Vinny sagged on the ropes. Gabe and Timon stepped back and landed hard kicks to both sides of Vinny's chest. Vinny dropped to his knees.

Timon and Gabe then lifted Vinny and drove him to the mat with a double pile driver. Vinny collapsed in a heap.

HB was pummeling JP in the ropes. JP was starting to wheeze as HB's hard punches tore into his belly.

Jordan and Derrick were set to move in on Bastian. Bastian knew he could not take a prolonged beating from these two tough teens. Bastian locked eyes with Derrick. Derrick understood. As Jordan bent down to drag Bastian to his feet, Derrick moved behind the big MW and slammed a double axe handle blow to the small of his back.

Jordan staggered but did drop he turned on Derrick, a look of pure fury on his face. "Bastard." Jordan said as he turned to face off with Derrick.

Bastian was dragging himself to his feet. He wanted to pay both of these MW's back but for now he would be content to give Jordan's soft gut a little abuse. Bastian moved behind Jordan just as Jordan forced Derrick to the ropes and readied to tee off on the muscleboy.

As Jordan pulled his arm back to land a punch Bastian gripped his arm and turned him around. Bastian drove a power punch deep into Jordan's soft belly. Jordan grunted and doubled over. Derrick moved quickly and hooked Jordan's arm in a double hammerlock.

HB had stopped pummeling JP and gripped his head and flipped him to the center of the ring. HB hit the ropes and bounced off landing a perfect textbook elbow drop to the LW's sternum. JP folded up gasping for breath.

HB stood up and gripped JP by the hair. He then squatted down and lifted JP over his shoulders in a torture rack.

JP screamed in agony as HB held him racked. Timon and Gabe turned and saw HB manhandling JP. They both knew once HB tossed the LW they would have to contend with him. They decided to forgo Vinny and attack HB.

Timon and Gabe were friends and had practiced a lot together. They moved in unison and charged HB. Before HB could react Timon and Gabe each had a leg. They lifted HB as he held JP racked and headed to the ropes. Gabe and Timon tossed both guys over the top rope. JP was squashed under HB's bulk as the two teens hit the arena floor.

Timon and Gabe turned back to Vinny who was now back on his feet and mad as hell. The three teens circled.

Derrick was straining to hold Jordan upright as Bastian slugged fist after fist to his soft pudgy belly.

Jordan knew he had to escape he could not take much more of this.

Jordan could feel his guts being rearranged under the powerful blows coming from Bastian. Jordan was not use to being hit with this kind of power. He sagged in Derrick's powerful arms. Derrick and Bastian then changed places. Bastian locked Jordan in a full nelson as Derrick went to work on his pudgy gut.

As Jordan was being systematically destroyed. Vinny was contending with problems of his own; namely Gabriel and Timon. Vinny knew full well that these two were part of a large group of middleweight friends and would not turn on each other till the very end. He had to either get one of them out of the contest or at least put one out of commission for a while so he could deal with just one of them. He decided Timon was the tougher of the two so he took aim at the soft bodied but tough as nails Gabriel.

Timon and Gabriel knew they had the upper hand with Vinny. But Vinny was not going to go easily. He had taken some severe shots that would have destroyed a lesser quality wrestler. They gave each other the "go" sign when Vinny struck first...

Jordan was feeling some serious pain now as Derrick's massive fists were plunging into his gut with little or no resistance from his weak ab muscles. He knew he would be eliminated soon if he didn't take drastic action. Jordan was not above using a cheap shot or two. As Derrick rocked back to give Jordan what looked to be a finishing blow Jordan swung up a boot that nailed Derrick's none too hard to see bulge at his groin. Derrick yelped then let out a groan as he hugged his crotch and dropped like a stone. Jordan then almost immediately swung his foot up and back guiding his heel to meet Bastian's balls. The blind shot worked like a charm and he heard Bastian let out a moan as his hold on Jordan's arms fell away.

Jordan turned to see Bastian on his knees. A crushing forearm to the side of the head put the last remaining heavyweight in the battle to the canvas. Jordan then turned on Derrick as the muscle bound farm boy gripped at his wounded genitals. Jordan placed both hands of Derrick's back then raised a big knee to his chest. As Jordan's knee went up he pushed down with his hands and Derrick was sandwiched as Jordan performed this move three times. When he felt Derrick sufficiently winded he leaned his weight into Derrick's back and shoved him face first to the floor.

Vinny's sudden strike took the two friends unprepared. Vinny lashed out with a spearing foot that plunged deep into Gabriel's chubby gut. The cute, baby faced boy bent over winded. Vinny's kick was hard as could be! Vinny a threw himself at Gabriel and almost simultaneously locking his head under his arm and dropping his own body down in a sitting position DDTing Gabriel in an instant. When Timon lunged to counter attack Vinny whipped both feet up and slammed them into Timon's bulging pectorals sending him backwards flailing his arms.

Jordan satisfied that Derrick was down for a moment, turned back to his other tormentor, Bastian. Jordan's forearm to his head had knocked Bastian silly but his boxing experience allowed him to recover from the head shot quicker than most would have. Bastian was on his knees now as Jordan stood in front of him and grabbed a handful of sandy blonde hair. Bastian drew back and sent a driving punch to Jordan's worked over stomach. Jordan felt the blow dig in deep but fought through the pain saying to himself, 'Uh Aaah not again.' Jordan rammed a knee to Bastian's chest. Bastian was rocked but drew back and fired again. Another plunging fist buffeted Jordan's insides and again Jordan fought through the searing pain. Jordan then let go of the hair, took a step back and leapt up and caught Bastian around the head with his legs. Jordan's fall to his butt took Bastian's head down to the mats! Bastian's upper body bounced as it impacted hard. Jordan seemed quite pleased he had pulled off the move. But as he stood he was spun around and looked at the face of a very angry Derrick...

As Timon was stumbling backward and off balance Vinny was up and charging him quickly. He put his driving shoulder to Timon's chest and plowed him into the turnbuckles. Timon was smashed as Vinny's 185 pounds crushed into him! Vinny fired a left and right upper uppercut faster than anyone though he could that hit Timon's hard abs. But the blows were hard enough that Timon was hurt by them. Vinny's right knee then drilled the same spot and Timon doubled over. Vinny was like a man possessed as he yanked Timon out of the corner and Irish whipped him to the opposite one. Timon hit back first and hard but his misery didn't end there. Vinny literally sprinted across the ring right on his heels. With the grace of a professional dancer Vinny leapt and turned in mid air sending all his momentum and weight into Timon's body as he splashed him with his back. Timon was crushed!

Vinny stepped away with a grin on his face and a cocky swagger to his walk. He knew he had just done well. Timon toppled forward almost unconscious. He fell like a log face first and unmoving. Vinny then went back to Gabriel. Vinny hauled him up by his golden hair and said, "Time for some payback tubby!"

Derrick had been in the ring a long time. He was strong but he had expended a lot of energy and had taken some serious pounding too. But he still pulled Jordan to his feet without too much difficulty. Before Jordan could react Derrick lifted the surprised kid and crotch slammed him. Derrick stomped the boy's stomach and dropped an elbow to the chest. Derrick then raised him again and whipped him to the turnbuckles but Jordan had recovered from the initial surprise and reversed the move. It was Derrick that went crashing back first to the turnbuckles instead!

Meanwhile, as Timon lay motionless, Vinny was taking it to Gabe hard! Vinny was still pumping with his adrenaline surge as he lifted the soft bodied middleweight up in a crotch slam. Gabe was thrown down hard and Vinny planted a size 16 boot into the boy's belly. He then dropped down with a driving punch to the same spot and Gabe wanted to curl up in a ball. But Vinny was far from through. He pulled Gabe to his feet and held him in a side headlock. He then whipped in series of strong upward punches to Gabriel's chubby gut. He actually felt the soft belly meat wrap around his fist as they sank in and Vinny knew he was hurting his opponent. He then figured Gabe was ripe for picking. He hoisted the battered kid up and over his shoulder in a backbreaker. Gabriel was thrashing about and screaming as Vinny racked him.

Vinny then walked to the ropes to dump Gabe out and be rid of the pesky boy.

Jordan had just slammed Derrick to the corner when he saw Vinny heading to the ropes with his captive. Jordan had seen Timon and Gabe take out HB and Justin Paul at the same time and couldn't resist trying the move himself. If he could get rid of Gabriel AND Vinny it would do nothing but help his cause. He charged Vinny's backside!

Timon was just now lifting his head. He had never been so manhandled before. He saw Vinny's back and his buddy racked over his shoulders. He also saw Jordan running at them. Still a bit groggy Timon reached out and tackled Jordan around the ankles. Jordan fell forward and hit Vinny but not with the force he had intended. He simply caused Vinny to fall forward and pitch Gabriel over the top rope.

Vinny lay against the middle rope on his chest with Jordan across his lower legs. Vinny kicked Jordan off and got to his feet.

Jordan was furious at Timon for thwarting his plan. He pulled Timon up by his curly locks.

Derrick saw Bastian rising up again and decided to put him back down with a leg drop across the back of the head. It worked as Bastian's face once again smacked the canvas.

There were no alliances now as all the boys teed off on each other.

Vinny shot a wicked punch to Jordan's lower back and he dropped Timon.

Derrick took over on Timon and heaved him up and over in a reverse suplex. He raised the again winded Timon and drove a knee to the gut that lifted Timon's feet off the canvas. Derrick was surprised to see Bastian back to his feet so quickly. He whipped Timon like a human projectile to knock the HW back down. Bastian saw the hurtling body and braced himself and leveled Timon with shoulder block. Timon went bouncing across the canvas.

Bastian charged at Derrick. The strong MW braced himself and the two big bodies collided at mid-ring. The two sets of hard and now very sweaty pectorals ground into each other as both fought for control of the other.

Jordan had been hurt by Vinny's shot to his back. Vinny took advantage and grabbed Jordan's arm pulling it out straight. Vinny then whipped four hard kicks straight up to Jordan's chest making the boy want to fall. But Vinny held him up. He whipped one of his long legs up and over Jordan's head and brought it down with all the force he had. Letting go of the arm at the same time the leg impacted the teen's neck. Jordan was driven to the mats as Vinny's legs powered his face downward.

Bastian felt Derrick's muscles bulging into his own but Bastian was not about to let this middleweight, albeit a tough one, get the best of him. He wrapped his arms around Derrick's torso and used some of his dwindling strength reserves to lift the boy up and put him own in a belly to belly suplex.

Timon was now up and moved at the only target still on his feet, Vinny. He rammed Vinny's left rib cage and forced him to a corner. Timon grabbed the middle rope on either side of the post and used them to pull his shoulder into Vinny's lean and well muscled torso again and again. Vinny had been taken off guard and Timon's rams were driving him down.

Bastian then leaned a knee into Derrick's lower belly and pressed his full 203 pounds into it. He clamped a meaty hand over each of Derrick's bulging pectorals and applied a duel chest claw. Bastian knew that a submission would do no good here but he needed to use all the weapons at his disposal to binge his opponents down. He decided Derrick would be the first. Derrick grimaced and the knee crushed down deep into his guts and the strong fingers dug into the pec muscles. He thrashed about like a fish out of water but he was pinned to the canvas by the knee that was spearing his belly. Derrick could not move as Bastian put the hurt to him!

Vinny was recovered enough to know that Timon could do serious damage if he kept up his attack. Though hurting Vinny managed to get a knee up to block Timon's next ram. When Timon didn't connect he looked up and Vinny smacked a forearm across his ear. Timon fell backward into the waiting arms of Jordan.

Jordan grabbed both of Timon's arms and Vinny smacked five vicious jabs to the German teen's stomach. Jordan then tossed Timon to the ropes. Vinny formed an uneasy alliance with Jordan as Timon flew back. Vinny and Jordan each snatched the boy under a sweaty and hairy armpit and by one of his legs. Timon was power slammed by both teens. He lay on the canvas devastated.

Almost in unison Vinny and Jordan reached for Timon's hair. They pulled him up. Jordan held both hands while Vinny held both ankles. They swung him like a hammock between them a few times then let him go on an upward swing. Timon flew over the top ropes and smacked down hard on the arena floor!

No sooner had Timon sailed over the top rope than Jordan and Vinny leveled each other with simultaneous clotheslines. They both fell to their backs stunned.

Derrick was thrashing about in agony. Bastian had placed his other knee into his gut. Derrick thought his navel was pressing against his spine. He thrashed his arms as Bastian's duel pec claws were tearing his chest muscle apart. If he could have he would have submitted. Derrick at last realized he had his hands free. He fought through the pain in his entire body and swung his palms up and clapped them over both of Bastian's ears.

Bastian's head was sent ringing like it was filled with church bells and he fell over letting Derrick go. Derrick crawled to his side panting and rubbing his stomach and chest. He had never hurt this badly before.

Vinny was up faster than Jordan and, like a football place kicker, planted the toe of his boot into Jordan's underbelly as he rose. Jordan flipped to his back and Vinny dropped both knees to the weakened abs. Jordan gasped out his breath but Vinny was not about to show mercy at this point. He never did anyway!

Vinny had Jordan up and was pounding away on his entire torso with kicks, fists and forearms. Vinny had driven him into a corner and was hammering away with all he had as Bastian and Derrick were pulling themselves up the ropes on opposite sides of the ring. Vinny decided to get clever and he launched Jordan at Bastian. Bastian was still hearing bells in his head as he saw Jordan's bulk headed his way. Bastian gripped the top ropes and pulled it down just as Jordan approached. Jordan stumbled over Bastian's body and clung to the top rope in desperation but an upward heave from Bastian finished the job and Jordan hit the floor.

Bastian shook the last of the bells from his head. He clenched his fists one more time.

Derrick's stomach and chest were still aching but he put the pain to the back of his mind as he took a fighting stance.

Vinny had taken some wickedly hard hits earlier but had battled through them. He raised his tall body to its full height as if to become even more imposing.

The three remaining boys stood ready for the final battle as the glanced back and forth from one to the other...

The three remaining teens stood in separate corners as they sucked down wind and prepared for the final assault. All three knew this was it.

Bastian was trying to get his head clear, Derrick's abs and pecs were still smarting over Bastian's rough abuse and Vinny's neck still hurt from the double pile driver.

Vinny knew Bastian and Derrick had been in the longest. He needed to form an alliance with one of them. He decided on Derrick. They needed to get Bastian out of the ring.

Almost as if they were reading each other's mind the two MW wrestler started toward Bastian.

Bastian groaned. He was in no shape to handle these two tough guys.

Derrick and Vinny moved as quickly as their beaten bodies would allow and pinned Bastian in the corner. In unison they drilled the HW with a double knee lift to the gut. Bastian grunted loudly and started to fold up. Vinny and Derrick lifted the HW up and double gutbusted him. Bastian dropped to the canvas hugging his stomach.

Derrick had learned one thing through all of this. Never trust anyone. As Vinny reached down to drag Bastian to his feet, Derrick dropped the point of his elbow to Vinny's neck.

Vinny swore as he dropped to his knees.

Derrick wasted no time as he hooked Vinny around the waist. He lifted the tough MW and power bombed him hard to the center of the ring. Derrick then turned back to Bastian.

Bastian locked eyes with his nemesis. Derrick grinned and hauled Vinny to his feet. He hurled Vinny at Bastian. Bastian dropped to his knees and drove a power punch deep into Vinny's stomach. Vinny sagged over Bastian's big hard fist.

Bastian then tossed Vinny back to Derrick. Derrick caught Vinny and belly to belly suplexed him to the canvas. Derrick stood quickly and Bastian hit the tough MW with an elbow to his chest. As Bastian stood, Derrick landed a double stomp to Vinny's gut.

Vinny curled into a fetal position as his abs caved in. Derrick and Bastian left Vinny alone and faced off.

Bastian raised his dukes in a Boxer's stance and moved toward Derrick. Bastian figured he could deck the tough kid with a few hard punches. Derrick smiled and clenched his fists. He knew how to box.

But Derrick soon learned knowing how and taking on a golden gloves champ were two very different things.

Bastian's hands were lightening quick as they tore into Derrick's ripped and bruised abs and pecs.

Derrick could feel the hard fists digging in deeply to his worked over abs. He staggered back to the corner and slumped against the ropes. Bastian showed no mercy as he hammered away on the tough teens torso.

Vinny had gotten back to his feet. He saw Bastian dishing out a good dose of whip ass to the Farm BOY.

Vinny charged Bastian and sent a drop kick to his back. Bastian rammed into Derrick chest to chest.

Both teens expelled their air and slumped in the corner.

Vinny then gripped Bastian by the head and drug him to a neutral corner. As he drug the HW across the ring Vinny rammed repeated fists to Bastian's forehead.

Bastian was seeing stars as the muscle-bound Vinny worked him over.

When Vinny got the tough HW to the corner, Vinny gripped the back of his head and drove Bastian's face hard into the turnbuckle. Bastian was sagging in the corner.

Vinny left the HW and turned back to finish off Derrick.

When Vinny turned he was greeted by a knee lift to the groin. Derrick had recovered and went into attack mode. Vinny yelled out and his legs buckled.

Derrick had not come this far to lose. As Vinny dropped to his knees, Derrick sent a hard right cross to his head. Vinny's head snapped back and Derrick drilled the tough teen with a foot to the sternum.

Derrick gripped Vinny by the head. He drug him across the ring, then hooked Vinny's head and positioned it like a battering ram. He charged towards the winded and dazed Bastian.

Bastian saw them coming but could not get out of the way. Derrick drove Vinny's head hard into his stomach. Bastian fell to his knees as his breath was knocked out of him.

Bastian lay in the corner against the ropes wheezing.

Derrick did not release Vinny. Instead he pivoted and bull dogged Vinny to the mat. Vinny was almost out of it as his head was crushed hard into the canvas.

Vinny was dazed. Derrick looked back to check on Bastian and saw the tough HW was still down and gasping for breath.

Derrick knew he had to get one of these guys out of the ring. He reached down and yanked Vinny up by the nape of his neck and his trunks. Derrick then gut broke Vinny over his knees. Vinny hollered out as his abs broke down.

Derrick then whipped Vinny to the ropes. As Vinny recoiled back Derrick bent down and lifted him in an over the shoulder back breaker. Vinny roared in pain. Derrick walked him to the ropes and unceremoniously dumped him over the top rope.

Vinny hit the floor with a loud thud.

Now there were two remaining wrestlers in the ring.

Bastian was slowly climbing back to his feet. He was still holding his stomach, but his eyes were locked on Derrick. Bastian could not believe this was coming down to them.

Both teens had taken tremendous beatings during their time in the battle royal. Both knew this was it.

The question was how much more could either teen take.

The audience knew no matter who won this battle royal all involved had put forth a tremendous effort.

The last two battle weary teens faced off.

Both teens were sweating and breathing hard. It had been a hard fought battle and more then once these two guys had locked up and wailed the shit out of each other.

Bastian pushed himself away from the ropes and staggered toward the center of the ring. Derrick could feel himself stagger as well.

The audience and the wrestlers in the Dog Pound knew both of these teens were close to exhaustion.

Derrick had been the eighth man to enter Bastian had been the fourteenth.

Had it not been for the ramming maneuver, Bastian would be the odds on favorite. But it was clear Bastian was still feeling the affects of that move.

The two blond-haired boys faced each other and charged. They locked up collar and elbow and rolled to the ropes. They rolled the length of the ropes as their hot sweaty bodies were locker together in mortal combat.

When Derrick got the upper hand he would drive a hard fist to Bastian's torso. Bastian would do the same when he came out on top. The boys jockeyed for position until they ended up in the corner. Bastian ended up with the upped hand and sent a devastating left hook, to Derrick's sternum.

Derrick gasped for breath and dropped to his knees. Bastian stood back and drove the point of his boot deep into Derrick's stomach.

Derrick fell face first to the mat. He was breathing hard as the HW took it to him.

Bastian drug the lighter teen to his feet and propelled him across the ring and into the opposite corner.

Derrick hit the turnbuckle with a thud that shook the ring. Derrick sagged in the corner as Bastian worked up a head of steam and charged full bore across the ring.

Derrick knew he was going to get squashed between Bastian's torso and the ring post.

Derrick gripped the ropes and raised his feet. As Bastian charged in with his head down, Derrick flexed his powerful legs. When Bastian was close enough Derrick uncoiled, connecting with both feet to Bastian's broad shoulders.

Bastian felt the powerful blow impact and stumbled backwards.

Derrick shoved with all his remaining strength and forced Bastian to staggered back even further. Derrick then charged blindly and nailed Bastian with a shoulder block to the stomach, both teens tumbled to the mat in a mixture of arms and legs.

Bastian ended up on top of the MW warrior. Bastian did not screw around he started raining fists down into Derrick's chest and stomach. Derrick could not fend off the blows. Bastian knew he had the upper hand. He stood and drilled a power punch deep and hard to Derrick's lower belly.

When Derrick whished out his air Bastian knew the end was close for the tough MW.

Bastian drug a winded and dazed Derrick to his feet and whipped him to the ropes. He met Derrick coming off with a back body drop.

Derrick was tossed high in the air and hit the canvas with a thud. He lay there, unmoving.

Derrick was spent. His chest heaved up and down as he waited for the tough HW to finish him off. Derrick had nothing left.

The back body drop had taken a lot out of Bastian as well. He was down on his knees and breathing deeply.

Bastian slowly stood to his feet and staggered over to the downed and beaten Derrick. Bastian respected this tough MW but he still had to eliminate the hard ass Hick.

As Bastian reached down to pull him up, Derrick found some inner strength and gripped Bastian's head. Derrick bull dogged the big HW's head to the canvas.

Derrick fell back to the mat struggling to breathe.

Derrick knew he had to capitalize. He struggled to his feet and with great effort drug Bastian up and hurled him to the ropes. Derrick somehow found the strength to lift Bastian on the rebound and set him for a body slam.

Derrick got the heavier boy over his head then staggered. Derrick could not hold the weight. He fell into the ropes and dropped Bastian.

Derrick dropped to his knees, knowing his fight was over.

Derrick placed his head in his hands. He had come so close, now because he could not complete his final move he was going to lose.

Derrick waited for Bastian to move in and finish him off.

Nothing happened!!

Through his tiredness Derrick heard the bell ringing. He saw the announcer making his way into the ring. Derrick then felt his hand being raised as Travis began to speak.

Derrick was too groggy to know what was going.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN YOUR WINNER OF THE BATTLE ROYAL IS DERRICK" Travis said loudly over the PA system. Travis knew had he been a part of this he could have whipped the Farm Boy.

Bastian had gotten back to his feet and climbed back into the ring. He stood facing Derrick.

Derrick was still in disbelief as he was announced the winner.

It was evident both teens were damn near exhausted. Bastian staggered over to the Champ and hugged him tight. The two battle weary teens supported each other as the other 26 wrestlers made their way to the ring.

Both Derrick and Bastian were smart enough to know one's actions during the Battle Royal were not a direct affront to either guy.

The audience cheered both Derrick and Bastian loudly. Ether teen could have won and the audience would have been content. They had gotten more then they had bargained for.

"Before we move on to out next matches, we have an announcement. Next week the winner of tonight's Battle Royal will face the winner of TW first battle Royal."

The audience stood to there feet. They remembered who had won the first Battle Royal and knew they would see one hell of a fight.

By now the other 26 wrestlers had made their way back to the ring. More then a few looked battle weary from the main event.

Travis continued. He was liking this announcing bull shit. "Let's give all of our wrestlers a big round of applause. They all did a fine job."

The TW arena erupted in a standing ovation for the 28 young men who had taken part in TW's second battle royal.

But as successful as the event had been, new rivalries had been formed as well as new alliances. Time would tell where these would lead.
