jimsub81 Sandy & Hal Get Briefed About TW

This is a quick breakdown of things that have happened at TW as told to a new incoming tag team (Sandy & Hal pic is in the second tag team album). Its by no mean a complete history and following past events is NOT necessary to post a story or match. But in case someone is interested here it is:

Things were slowly returning to what could be considered normal at the TW facility. The ingratiation of the JW boys was slowly taking hold and things were not a bad as the original TW guys had feared they would be.

Max, a new lightweight pulled a small spiral note book and pen from his trunks and made a few scribbles. The book was almost filled. Max took his work seriously. He aimed to please. Just then, two rather good looking teens entered. They were dressed for a work out but had another matter to see about first. The boy on the right with the thick blonde hair said to his friend, "There he is." The friend then said, "Hey Max! Get over here!" Max came bounding over to the handsome duo and said with a smile, "Hi Sandy, Hi Hal. Bet I know why you're here." Hal, the one with the thick blonde hair said, So Max what have you got for us?" Max pulled out his note pad and licked the tip of his pen and said, "Oh you bet I do Hal. You bet I do. You won't believe what happens around here. I got to tell you I miss JW closing but things were never as interesting there as here at TW. I think I'm gonna like it here." Sandy and Hal both looked annoyed at Max and Sandy said, "Well, on with it! What's the low down?" Max took a deep breath and said, "I hardly know where to begin but I guess I should start with the Posse."

Sandy wrinkled his brow, "Posse? what the hell is that?" Max said, "Its a group of wrestlers organized by a lightweight named Kevin. He gets them good matches and they watch out for each other. They have a rep for being mean and nasty too to anyone who crosses them. Right now all the titles are controlled by Posse members. The LW Champ is a kid named Willy, He strong as hell and a good wrestler too. He beat his ex-best friend Wesley for the title. The MW title belongs to a guy named Luke. He's been around here for a long time and he just won the title a week or so ago. The heavyweight title belongs to a guy named Rusty. He's really built and has some killer judo moves but the talk is he can't hold the title long." Max went on, "And, I bet this is what you really want to know, The tag team titles belong to guys named Evan and Cole. They won the jackets. Oh yeah they have jackets here not belts, sort of strange huh?" Sandy & Hal wrinkled their noses at the thought of not wearing championship belts but figured 'oh well'. They let Max continue, "They beat ...Ahem! They beat Carter and Rick for the title." Max looked like just the mention of the names Carter and Rick would send the two boys into a rage. Both Sandy and Hal cringed at the sound of those names. They had had numerous encounters with them in JW before Carter and Rick moved. Max added, "Oh yeah these guys, Evan and Cole used to be part of a three man team till the league did away with those. Now they are making life a living hell for Mitchell, their ex-partner by getting him into matches where he gets squashed." Hal asked, "And why are they doing that?" Max shrugged saying, "I guess cause they feel like it." Hal laughed and said, "Shit I don't even know these guys Evan and Cole and I already like them. Too bad we're gonna have to take their titles though!"

Sandy said, "These guys Evan and Cole are in this...Posse too?" Max nodded yes and said, "And you have to go through Kevin to get a match with them. I asked around about that. And I got to tell you I met Kevin himself. He's young but he's no dummy. He won't let his guys get in over their heads. He likes the fact he has all the titles under his umbrella so to speak."

Hal said, "Well if these guys Evan and Cole did beat Carter and Rick then they have to be good. Carter and Rick don't lose to chumps." Sandy and Max had to agree. Sandy said, "What else Max?"

Max took a breath and turned the page of his book.

"Well, as for the lightweights. There are a few standouts. The champ Willy and his ex-best friend Wesley I already mentioned and there is this other guy Jacoby. He's almost a middleweight but he fights like a wild man. You see what he did to Carson the other night?" Sandy and Hal had indeed seen Jacoby pound on the JW lightweight till he literally made him puke in the ring. Sandy hand Hal admired the tactics of the tough lightweight. Max went on, "The other lightweight of note is a guy named Chaz. He's actually pretty small only 127 pounds but he held the middleweight title for a few weeks so I guess he's pretty tough." Max lowered his note book and said, "But at 127 pounds I think I could beat a guy that small what do you guys think?" Hal looked at Max almost annoyed that the lightweight was talking to them in a manner more like a friend than a simple errand boy and said, "Yeah, whatever Max go knock yourself out. Now lets get back to the report!"

Now that he had been put back in his place Max raised his pad and began again, "The rest of the lightweights are just looking for matches and trying to claw out a name for themselves. The only other Posse member that's a lightweight that I didn't mention is Philip. He was the LW champ for a few months too."

Max went on, "now, the middleweights. This is a big division. Like I said, Luke is the champion and he has fellow Posse members in this division with Stefan." Max looked up to his apparent masters and said, "Man is he ripped!" then back to his pad, "and Kyle. Some of the standouts in the MWs are Martin." Max pointed across the room to the ripped Martin who stood with Elton and Derrick. Max said, "Martin was the middleweight champ for a long time and was part of the Posse too but broke with it. Those other two guys are Elton on the left and Derrick. Both are really good and strong too. Oh and Martin has this jab called a snake strike cause its so fast." Sandy said, "Well the guy, all of them actually, are pretty buff but since we're tag teamers then it probably don't matter." Max cleared his throat almost expecting punishment for disagreeing with Sandy and stammered, "Well, actually Sandy Aaahh." Sandy just said, "Spit it out Max!" Max spoke quickly, "Martin and Elton have teamed up several times both to fight Corwin and Drew you know the two guys we saw beat Rick and Carter last night and well sometimes they do get together and team up so you might end up facing them sometime is all I'm saying Sandy not to say you guys couldn't take em I mean hey nobody is unbeatable right its just that....." Hal finally said, "Max, relax. Its OK. Nobody is mad at you. Don't be nervous and just finish the report."

"The rest of the middleweights vary in skill. There is a group of close friends: Zack, he won the first battle Royal, Timon, He's from Germany and pretty buff, Gabriel, he's a little chubby but not a bad wrestler, Booker, he's shown flashes but has never really taken off and the same for Ian.

As for the rest of the division there is Joey, a buff young guy that fights hard but loses as much as he wins and his, lets just call him "a friend" Patrick is about in the same boat.

Jordan is a pretty good wrestler but he hangs around with this fatso heavyweight Lucian and eats a lot so he's sort of lacking in his training regiment.

Vinny and Daniel are really tough, strong guys who are just hard luck types. But nobody denies they are talented.

Travis is a bit of a show boat.

Noel is good and has killer leg scissors but seems stuck in second gear.

This guy Randy is like a major wimp. And so is Thom who used to be called "jobber boy" but he got a win so maybe he's not that bad.

Lucas is like quietly building a nice record. He's 4 &O but nobody seems to notice him yet."

Bruce has a neat hold and looks like he may go places.

Robby is a lady killer and beats guys you never thought he could cause he's technically a great wrestler.

Everyone else is trying to get noticed basically."

Sandy said, "Good job Max! what else do we need to know?"

Max said, "Well, I know you won't have much to do with the heavyweights but there are a lot of good ones here. The JW guys, Terry, Clay and Jackson are not going to have an easy time of it. Rusty is the champ you know and is Posse, so is Lance and Steve but rumor has it Steve ain't happy there so...who knows. Bastian and Doug are gold glove boxers as well as wrestlers.

Dean is the brother of that Corwin dude but he's not so hot a wrestler as his little brother.

Cody is an ex-champ. I guess you can see why after the way he handled Jackson, Terry and Clay the other night?" Sandy and Hal nodded in agreement they had seen Cody's awesome display and were rightly impressed. Max went on, "Dane is Cody's best friend and just recently lost the championship to Rusty.

Lucian's a fat load but can dish out some punishment. Lon, Mike, Garret and Pat are all pretty good but don't see much action.

Jeff is tall and looks tough but he's pretty sucky. The rest of them are all about in the same boat; all wanting a piece of the pie"

Sandy looked at the clock. Max was giving some valuable information but what he and Hal both wanted to hear about was the TW tag teams which is where Max went to next.

"OK now the tag teams", said Max. Hal and Sandy leaned forward wanting to take in everything their little informant had for them.

"Well, you already know about Evan and Cole. They are arrogant and cocky but they beat Carter and Rick so they have talent. There is Corwin and Drew who we saw beat Rick & Carter last night. They were tag team champs for a long time and are really popular with the fans. They have some killer high risk moves and they are, lets just say they are "partners" out of the ring too."

Sandy said, "But didn't Seth and Gavin beat them in a practice meeting when JW first came into the league?" Max said with a slight laugh ,"Yeah but Seth and Gavin beat you guys too so..." If looks could kill Max would have been dead instantly as both Sandy and Hal glared at him for mentioning a failure on their part at the hands of Seth and Gavin in the last days of JW. Max uttered a meek, "Sorry didn't mean to bring that up." , and went on with the tag team report.

"There are a lot of good tag teams here. In addition to the champs Kevin's Posse had Jed & Luke who are good but don't wrestle much.

Damon & Marcus split up for a while but Damon washed out as a single fighter so they're back together but they don't do too well.

Trace & Kale are awesome big guys that can tear guys apart but smaller teams have beaten them before.

Jessie & Jack are brothers that try hard but usually get their ass kicked.

Two teams that are really good are Mark & Dillon and Sean & Jeff. Sean and Jeff are good friends with Carter and Rick.

Then there's Pho & Tan they're talented but need more ring time to hone their skills."

Sandy said, "So tell us Max, if we wanted to find the single toughest tag team in TW who would that be? Corwin & Drew? Trace & Kale?" Max said, "Well those teams are tough all right but for all around toughness I'd have to say it would be HB & Kane. That's them over there by the water fountain. Sandy & Hal followed Max's finger. Max said, "HB is the white guy and Kane is his partner." Hal took in the well put together boys and said, "Max I can tell just by looking at them you're right. Good work Max. Anything else?" Max leafed through the last few pages of his notebook and said, "That just about covers it Hal. So now that I did this for you guys when can you show me some more moves?" Sandy and Hal looked at each other and shrugged. Sandy said, "Sometime soon Max, real soon." Then he looked at Hal and said, "Ready partner?" Hal nodded yes and they left Max alone feeling used as they walked over to confront HB & Kane.
