PRELUDE

After the commissioner had made his announcement dismantling the three man tag team, Evan, Mitchell and Cole had retired to the local Wendy's to discuss the future.

"Look guys, it isn't like we were getting many matches anyway. At least as a tag team, maybe that can improve," Mitchell said.

"Yeah, but who is the tag team," was Evan's response.

"Maybe we should just all leave the league," suggested Cole.

"Nah, comon guys. Quitting isn't the answer. You know that we all love to wrestle so it should continue."

"Yeah, again but who as the tag team," was Evan's response.

"You and Cole, " replied Mitchell. "Look I'll be graduating soon and moving on to the frat leagues at college, so it doesn't make sense for me to be in on it. I'll just bow out."

Evan and Cole looked at one another and took a moment before Evan responded, "yeah, I guess that makes sense, but it seems like such a 'sissy' way to go out. You should go out fighting, like a man."

"Oooh, that's it," exclaimed Cole.

"What?" was the reply from both Mitchell and Evan.

"Look, the team of Thom, Mike and Jake are going to have a three corners match to determine who leaves and who stays. We can do the same thing, except that we know who is leaving, so we can make it "look" good and then you can leave as a winner."

"Uh, don't you mean as a loser," Mitchell asked.

"No man a winner. You got in the ring and in a fair honorable fight lost. So you can bow out with you head held high and we can do all that stuff about what a great friend you are and how it was a hard fought fight, etc."

"I like that. Let's do it."

Evan jumped in "yeah and to show our unanimity, we can wear our white trunks with blue stripes so were all 'equal'."

So the three man tag team came to an understanding and approached the commissioner about the bout (without telling him about the pre-arranged ending). The commissioner was more than happy to schedule the bout.

LOCKER ROOM PRELUDE

As the three wrestlers were dressing for the match, Mitchell noted that while he was wearing the white trunks with blue stripes, the other two were wearing blue trunks with white stripes.

"Oh shit, damn, Mitch I'm sorry. My stupid dog ripped those trunks, so we changed to these. Cole was supposed to call and tell you."

"Me?, Me? You were supposed to call and tell him," replied Cole.

As the two began to argue about who was supposed to call, Mitchell just laughed. This was there usual routine. Whatever would they do without him to help keep them in line.

"Hey, guys. Stop. It ain't worth coming to blows over. Besides who the hell is really going to notice anyway??"

The three then huddled together. "Guys it has been fun and I'll be there to see that you too kick ass, until I graduate and leave. Maybe I'll get a singles match here and there to keep in shape until Frat wrestling time."

The three man tag team then left for the ring for the last time.

THREE CORNER MATCH REDUX

LADIES AND GENTLEMAN. THE NEXT MATCH IS ALSO A THREE MAN CORNER MATCH TO DETERMINE WHO WILL BE LEAVING THE THREE MAN TAG TEAM OF EVAN, MITCHELL AND COLE. OUR CONTESTANTS ARE EVAN (WEARING BLUE WRESTLING TRUNKS WITH WHITE STRIPES) 17, 5'9", 175 #, MITCHELL (WEARING WHITE WRESTLING TRUNKS WITH BLUE STRIPES) 18, 5'11", 170#, AND COLE (WEARING BLUE WRESTLING TRUNKS WITH WHITE STRIPES) 17, 5'10", 175.

The three wrestlers exited the locker room and jogged down to the ring as a group, with Evan and Cole next to each other and Mitchell to the right side.. They all stopped along the way to pose and flex for the ladies especially Mitchell who flexed for Diane, showing off his impressive pecs. As they gathered at the center of the ring they all shook hands. The crowd was delighted that there were about to see another hard fought but fair match.

The referee came to the center of the ring and asked "Have you decided who is going to start out?"

Mitchell as the oldest of the group spoke "no, we decided to do it by chance."

"And how are we going to do that," inquired the ref.

Each of the boys pulled out a single dice and showed them to the ref. "Low man gets to sit out the beginning of the match."

The referee then counted to three and the dice were thrown. Evan and Cole each rolled a six while Mitchell rolled a five. Mitchell was then sent to a neutral corner. Before leaving he looked at the other two wrestlers and said "May the best men win."

"You got that right," was Evan's reply, while Cole responded "But of course, luck to you both."

Mitchell then exited the ring.

Cole and Evan began circling each other before locking up in a collar and elbow. They both had about equal strength and neither was able to gain an advantage, so they broke the hold.

Cole then challenged Evan to a test of strength. Once they had locked hands, the battle was one. Slowly Evan began to get the upper hand and Cole began sinking to his knees. About half way done he decided "enough of this shit" and headbutted Evan in the abs.

Of course this early in the match that wasn't a very smart thing to do. Because with Evan flexing to take advantage of the strength hold, his abs were flexed and able to withstand the headbutt as no more than a minor annoyance. He did however, quickly retaliate with a kick to the lower abs of Cole. While the first kick didn't have much of an affect, number two through five did and soon Cole was laying flat on his back.

Evan pressed his advantage by delivering a series of two elbow smashes to the gut. On the third attempt, all his got was mat, as Cole rolled out of the way.

While not seriously hurt, Evan was mildly stunned. Enough for Cole to regain his feet kick him in the side twice before tagging in Mitchell.

"Go get him, stud," was Cole's passing words as Mitchell entered the ring. Mitchell thought that somewhat unusual but didn't say much.

Mitch quickly went on the offensive. As Evan was rising from the mat, he delivered a knee to the lower back. He then lifted him in a crotch grab and delivered a back breaker. He held him on his knee for just a minute before letting him drop to the mat

Mitchell took a moment to pose for the ladies in the audience, especially Diane, which was a mistake. Of course it wasn't his first mistake, but more about that later.

As he turned around, he was met by a clothesline from Evan, driving him to the mat. This was followed by two stomps to the abs. He was then pulled to his feet and thrown into the ropes. As he ricocheted off the ropes he was met in the middle of the ring by Evan who grabbed him by the throat and delivered a choke slam.

Mitch was stunned as he hit the mat. It felt like a mack truck had just slammed into him. He looked up at Evan who just smiled and said "Got to make it look good, dude."

Evan then proceeded to delivery a series of stomps and elbow drops to the pectorals of Mitchell. Following this Mitchell was pulled to his feet and tossed into the corner back first. Evan followed him in with a shoulder smash to the stomach. Next he locked on a double pec claw and squeezed. After several second of this, he back out of the corner and dropped down to the mat bringing Mitchell with him in a monkey roll. Mitchell hit the mat and bounced.

Evan pulled Mitchell up by his hair. He then went to the corner and tagged in Cole. Mitchell was thrown off the opposing ropes and was met by a double reverse elbow to the pecs by both Cole and Evan. Evan then exited the ring.

Cole began a series of stomps to the pecs. He then dropped to the mat, turned Mitchell to his stomach and locked on an armbar, driving the right arm as high up the back as he could.

"Hey man, what the fuck is going on??," Mitchell asked.

"Just trying to make it look authentic man," Cole replied.

"Well you don't have to make it that authentic."

"Oh, quite being such a fucking wuss," Cole sneered. As he said this he delivered series of chops into the right pectoral muscle.

Cole then jumped to his feet, pulled Mitchell up and threw him between the ring ropes to the floor. He attempted to follow his opponent out, but the ref stopped him and began lecturing.

However, this only gave Evan the opportunity to get in a few shots of his own. He grabbed Mitchell, pulled the right arm back into an armbar then nailed the right shoulder into the corner pole.

"Shit man," Mitchell mumbled.

"Come on fuck, you can take that."

"Yeah, but I don't fucking have to man, just pin me or I'll submit," was Mitchell's reply.

Evan cinched up on the armbar and moved in close to his man's back. Speaking softly so that only Mitchell could hear, Evan said "you submit asshole and the truth about Maryann will have to come out."

Mitch was stunned. "You wouldn't....why are you doing this??"

"Because you are a fucking prick and it's about time somebody put you in your place. Besides, this will get Cole and me a lot more exposure."

The realization hit Mitchell like a cheap shot to the balls - he had been set up!!!

Evan drug Mitchell to the ring apron and slammed him chest first into the ring edge. Mitchell took great pride in his chest development so Evan and Cole decided that would the point of attack.

As the ref started to turn around he saw, Evan 'assisting' Mitchell back into the ring.

As Evan jumped up to his corner, he looked Cole in the eyes, smiled and nodded his head stating "the game in on".

Cole grabbed Mitchell, locked on a full nelson. He was driving Mitchell's chin into his chest as hard as he could. He released the hold for one moment, tagged Evan and reapplied it. As Mitchell began to try and power out of the hold by flexing his chest and his biceps, Evan entered the rings and began using the trapped studs pecs like a punching bag. The ref was so stunned that it took him a few seconds before he realized the double team was on and so the guys had more than a five count before Cole released the hold.

As the full nelson was released, Mitchell stumbled forward only to be met by Evan's knee in his balls. The ref was behind the action escorting Cole from the ring and missed the action. Evan followed up a series of stomps and knee drops into the downed teen's pecs and abs. After tiring of this action, he pulled a wobbly Mitchell to his feet and then locked on a double pec claw. Then showing his amazing strength he lifted Mitchell into the air by his pecs and shook him like a rag doll.

Mitch's pecs were starting to hurt and burn, and his balls ached. He was then thrown to the mat and Cole was again tagged into the ring. Once he entered the ring Evan and Cole began a series of stomps and knees to the pecs and abs. Once he neared the five count, the illegal man would leave the ring only to be immediately tagged back in. Therefore the double team went on for what was 30-40 stomps and knee drops.

The once impressive pecs of Mitchell were now reddened sorry and not very impressive. After the last tag, Cole was the legal man in the ring. He secured a full nelson, drug Mitchell over to the rope and drug his pecs along the top rope from one corner to the next. He repeated this several times.

Cole then drug Mitchell over to Evan and a tag was made. Evan and Cole forced Mitchell up to the top ring rope. Evan climbed to the middle rope in front of him, secured a double pec claw and used this as leverage to heave Mitchell up and over in a suplex. It seemed like Mitchell bounced have way to the ceiling when he hit the mat.

Mitch was barely aware of his surroundings. Evan tagged Cole. "Finished the sorry excuse of a wrestler off."

Cole went to the middle of the ring, pulled the nearly unconscious Mitchell to his feet, again secured a double pec claw and then raised the teen into the air shaking him. Mitchell began to beg "Please stop, stop." But when the ref asked if he wanted to submit, Cole just whispered Maryann to Mitchell so he said "no." The ref was confused about what was happening and didn't really like it, but there wasn't much he could do as Mitchell kept saying no to his request to submit.

Finally after a very impressive 10 minutes, Coles arms were beginning to get tired so he looked up and Mitchell and stated "okay fucker, you can end your pathetic career now, but you had better do it very respectfully or." and then locking eyes with Mitchell "Maryann." Mitchell looked into the eyes of what he thought was his friend and found no compassion. He shouted out to the ref, "I submit to this superior wrestler." Cole then threw the wrestler to the mat.

Evan entered the ring and he and Cole celebrated. They posed with their feet on the destroyed chest of their former partner and the abandoned him in the ring. However, before leaving the ring they grabbed the mic. "Evan and me don't need that sorry excuse for a wrestler as a partner. All he is good for is jobbing."

As they left the arena it was to relative silence because most people truly didn't know whether to cheer or boo. Evan and Cole didn't care. They had gotten noticed.

POST MATCH LOCKER ROOM

As Evan and Cole entered the locker room, they passed Thom and Jake who were on there way out. "Hey guys, isn't amazing how you had the same plan we did."

"Fuck off idiots. We didn't have any plan and turning on a friend isn't our style."

"Yeah, but a boot to the balls and doubling teaming is??" Asked Evan.

As Thom started to attach, Jake pulled him back and they left.

"What a couple of pathetic losers. Be fun to whip there asses," Cole taunted.

As the guys started to get ready for their showers Evan looked at his partner. "Hey Cole, that was one wicked plan you came up with. Thanks, I just wanted to beat the shit out that Jerk for taking my woman."

"Yeah I know but this is much more effective. We both showed what a fucker loser that prick is and had some fun in the process. I doubt he'll want to wrestle here or in college and Diane will probably dump his ass and come back to you."

"Nah, who wants her. Lots of those ladies out there want me." They then headed to shower off.

They had wanted to get noticed and they did. Now the other MW tag teams knew there was a new team to worry about on the block.

Standing in the shadows was Kevin. Of course Kevin was trying to decide whether to recruit them or use them as an object lesson to other MW tag teams.
