punk_wrestler2000 Middle Weight Face Off: Elton Vs Vinny:

Sunday afternoon arrived and the TW arena was packed to the rafters. Everyone wanted to see who would be facing Luke next Saturday night for the MW title.

Vinny was in pretty good shape after his epic victory last night. He was slightly sore but he was ready to fight.

Elton on the other hand was a tad worse off. But the tough black athlete never let pain keep him from a match. Geoffrey and Stefan had hammered Elton pretty hard.

Elton was still stunned by the brute strength Geoffrey possessed.

Both teens had gone to see the commissioner prior to the match.

The commissioner listened as they spoke. Vinny started. "Sir, Elton and I have discussed this and we want to be sure there is no hanky panky."

The commissioner looked up surprised. "Son, just what are you guys saying?"

Elton spoke next. "Sir, we want to be sure there is no outside interference. Vinny and I have wrestled on the same side before. We want a good tough match, but we do not want the victory coming by way of someone getting involved."

The commissioner understood. He knew Luke was a member if the infamous Posse, and that in itself could spell trouble.

"All right guys, I will see to it. No other wrestlers will be permitted ring side except for your seconds."

Elton and Vinny nodded. "Those will be Derrick and Martin, Sir." Elton responded.

The commissioner was pleased to see a semi final match coming up with little or no animosity. But he even he knew things changed in the heat of battle.

Both of these teens, though friendly now, would get down and brutal as the end of the match neared and one gained a clear-cut advantage.

Rivalries and friendships came to life in TW in a heartbeat.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WELCOME TO A SPECIAL SUNDAY AFTERNOON OF TW WRESTLING. AS YOU KNOW OUR LEAD OFF MATCH IS BETWEEN THE TWO WINNERS OF LAST NIGHT'S TWO FOUR CORNER MATCHES. THIS AFTERNOON'S WINNER WILL FACE THE CURRENT SITTING CHAMPION LUKE, NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT FOR THE COVETED MW JACKET."

"THIS WILL BE A ONE FALL MATCH. WIN CAN COME VIA SUBMISSION OR PIN FALL."

"NOW LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE."

"THIS MATCH WILL HAVE A SPECIAL GUEST REFEREE. LET'S HAVE A BIG TW WELCOME FOR THE FIRST TW HW CHAMPION: CODY."

In the back room Elton and Vinny heard the special announcement. Neither teen minded but both were surprised by this announcement. They knew Cody would be fair and impartial.

Cody bounded to the ring amid cheers from his fans.

He stepped center ring and awaited the introductions for this big event.

Cody knew this was going to be a hard fought match, but felt the two combatants would be worthy opponents for Luke.

"FIRST MAKING HIS WAY TO THE RING, HE STANDS 6' AND WEIGHS 187 POUNDS. HE HAS A STELLAR AMATEUR BACKGROUND AND HAS MADE GREAT STRIDES HERE IN TW. HE ENTERS THE RING CLAD IN HIS BLACK WRESTLING SINGLET. LET'S GIVE IT UP FOR ELTON."

The applause was thunderous as the big black wrestler made his way slowly to the ring. Elton, was accompanied to the ring, by his friend Derrick. Elton knew Martin would have normally been by his side, but he had chosen to enter with Vinny.

Elton's ripped abs and prominent pecs stood ripped under the fabric of his singlet. There was no doubt about it, this grappler was well put together.

Elton stepped through the ropes and shook hands with Cody. Cody wished the MW good luck.

"AND NOW INTRODUCING OUR NEXT COMPETITOR. HE ALSO STANDS 6' AND WEIGHED IN AT 185 POUNDS. HE IS CONSIDERED BY MANY TO BE ONE OF THE MOST UNDER RATED MW WRESTLERS IN TW. LET'S HAVE A BIG HAND FOR VINNY."

The curtain parted and Vinny strutted to the ring with Martin by his side. Martin and Vinny climbed into the ring and shook hands with Elton and Cody.

Vinny's body looked awesome and hard as he flexed his abs and removed his shirt. Vinny was clad in his black Lycra wrestling shorts.

Martin stepped from the ring and took a seat by Derrick. The two teens exchanged a few words and sat back to watch what they figured would be an epic MW confrontation.

Cody called both wrestlers to the center of the ring for the obligatory check over. He knew he would find nothing, but he had to abide by the rules.

Cody then asked both guys if they understood the rules. Both nodded.

Cody waved them to their corners and called for the bell.

When the bell sounded both teens charged each other and locked up center ring in a test of strength.

Vinny and Elton locked together like two raging bulls. Their biceps bulged as they exerted a Herculean force to power the other guy to his knees.

The strain was evident on both teen's faces as they powered into each other chest to chest.

Vinny slammed a knee to Elton's abs. Elton took the hard shot and sent a knee lift of his own back into Vinny's ripped torso.

Neither teen was budging one iota. Finally Elton dropped to his back and planted both feet to Vinny's stomach Elton monkey flipped Vinny across the ring.

Elton was up to his feet quickly. He turned and to his surprise Vinny was already up and charging him. Vinny locked on a side headlock and flipped Elton to the mat.

Elton grunted as Vinny's big biceps worked his head and neck. Elton struggled to his knees then to his feet. He shot a hard elbow smash to Vinny's ripped abs. Vinny grunted but maintained the headlock.

Elton shot two more elbows to the teen's stomach. Vinny grunted and the headlock loosened. Elton sent Vinny back first to the ropes. Vinny hit and recoiled back. Before Elton could react Vinny floored him with a clothesline across his chest.

Vinny continued passed Elton and hit the ropes. He bounced off and dropped a big elbow to Elton's stomach. Elton whished out his air. Vinny stood and dropped with both knees to the same spot.

Elton curled up as he gasped for breath.

The harsh abuse he had taken from Geoffrey was now coming into play. Elton rubbed his battered abs.

Vinny stood and drug Elton to his feet. He whipped the tough teen to the corner. Elton hit back first and gripped the ropes. As he did Vinny charged in and drove a shoulder block to his stomach.

Martin winced as Elton took the full force of the blow to his unflexed abs.

Vinny stood back and drove two hard front kicks into Elton's ripped abs.

Elton gasped for breath as he clutched the ropes in an effort to remain on his feet.

Vinny stepped back. He watched Elton sucking down wind. Quickly he stepped forward and on Elton's inhale delivered a hard knee lift to the pit of Elton's stomach.

Elton released the ropes and fell to his knees. Elton hugged his battered abdominals as he remained on his knees.

Vinny reached down and drug the winded teen to his feet. Vinny lifted Elton and gutbusted him over his knees. Elton fell to the mat gasping for breath and clutching his stomach.

Vinny had watched the attack by Stefan, Daniel and Geoffrey to the ripped wall of muscle on Elton. Vinny knew where to concentrate his attack.

Elton sucked wind as he lie there and contemplated what the hell to do. Vinny was focusing his attack on his abs. Elton knew a prolonged attack like this could take out the toughest wrestler. It had done so to Martin and Frank and almost to him in the first match.

Elton rolled to his stomach and forced himself to all fours. Vinny was ready and sent a wicked kick to the teen's underbelly. Elton dropped and rolled from the ring.

Elton fell to his knees holding his stomach. He sucked wind as he listened to Cody's count.

Cody was impressed. Vinny moved to a neutral corner without being told.

Cody approached the ring ropes and started to count Elton.

Elton listened to the count. He wanted to wait as long as he could before climbing back into the ring.

Elton knew he needed the breather. He knew Vinny was to focused to let up now.

Vinny stood back and waited. He had no intentions of making a rookie mistake. He knew he had Elton winded and hurting.

When Cody reached 8, Elton climbed back into the squared circle.

Vinny stepped forward and the two teens slapped hands.

The audience applauded the display of sportsmanship. It was something they had not expected to see from Vinny.

Vinny knew Elton had felt his shots to his abs. Most wrestlers did.

Elton knew Vinny knew it. He was going to have to guard against the tough teen's attack.

Vinny moved to lock up. Elton launched a standing drop kick and hit Vinny flush in the chest. Vinny stumbled back to the ropes. Elton charged and hit Vinny with a clothesline across the chest that flipped the blond muscleboy over the top rope and to the arena floor.

Vinny hit hard as he was thrown from the ring.

Elton moved back. He would not attack Vinny outside the ring. Add to the fact that Elton still needed to get his bearings and his wind back. All he had done was buy himself a slight reprieve.

Cody started to count as Vinny struggled to his feet.

Vinny was up and back in the ring by the count of eight.

Elton and Vinny circled.

Vinny was slightly pissed by the over the top rope clothesline. He tried not to show it, but he knew the complexion of the match had just changed.

Elton could sense it as well.

The two teens watched each other wearily as they continued to circle. Both were looking for an opening.

They locked up collar and elbow. Both teens were strong and they bulled each other to the ropes. They remained locked together as they rolled along the ropes and ended up in the corner.

Cody called for a clean break. Neither Elton nor Vinny broke.

"Come on GUYS, BREAK." Cody shouted as he tried to separate them.

Finally the two teens broke apart. They locked eyes then sent simultaneous fists toward each other's heads.

Vinny's fist clocked Elton flush on the jaw. Elton's fist impacted with the side of Vinny's head. Both teens staggered slightly.

Vinny stepped back and Elton moved out of the corner.

Vinny charged Elton, who turned and slammed a hard knee to his stomach. Vinny flipped over the knee and fell flat to his back. Elton hit the ropes and aimed an elbow for Vinny's stomach. Vinny rolled and Elton hit nothing but mat.

Vinny shot to his feet and drove a hard kick to Elton's stomach. Elton gasped out loud as he felt the hard blow tear in.

Vinny sent two more full force kicks hard to Elton's gut. Elton tried to roll from the ring but Vinny hooked his legs and turned him to his stomach. Vinny cinched on a Boston Crab.

Elton slapped the mat as Vinny pulled up on his legs and bent his back in an angle it was not meant to go. Vinny's big biceps bulged as he held the Black powerhouse athlete complaint.

Elton tried to kick out, but Vinny leaned back further into the hold.

Elton was starting to sweat as he saw his hopes for a title shot diminishing with each passing second.

Suddenly Vinny released the Boston Crab. He stood and stomped Elton in the lower back. Vinny then hit the ropes and drove a hard knee drop to the small of Elton's powerful back. Elton yelled out as the 185 pounds crashed down into his back.

Vinny reached down and gripped Elton by the nape of the neck. He hauled the muscleboy to his feet and gutbusted him three times over his knees.

Elton knew it was not looking good for him. He wheezed and gasped for breath as Vinny let him fall to the mat. Vinny then reached down and slapped a full nelson on the hurting teen.

Martin winced as Vinny used Elton's own hold against him.

Elton struggled but Vinny had the full nelson cinched in good and tight. Elton felt his chin being muscled to his chest.

Vinny knew he was in command. He lifted the prone Elton from the mat with his well-applied hold and ran full tilt toward the turnbuckle.

Elton knew that if Vinny connected it was all over.

Even though winded, dazed and hurting Elton knew he had one chance and it was a long shot. His timing had to be exact, or he was going down for the count.

Elton swung his legs up and as Vinny surged forward, Elton's powerful legs met the ring post and kicked backward with an awesome force. Vinny was thrown off balance and staggered slightly. Elton twisted and they both tumbled to the mat.

Elton surged forward and ripped his arms from the full nelson. He then slammed both elbows back into Vinny's chest and stomach.

Vinny grunted loudly as the bionic elbows tore into his pecs and abs. He could not believe Elton had that kind of power left in his battered body. Elton dug the elbows in twice more before rolling away and getting slowly to his feet,

For one of the first times in the match Vinny was sucking wind. Elton pounced and pounced hard. He hit the ropes and dropped an elbow to Vinny's sternum. Vinny whished out his air as the elbow impacted.

Elton stood and gripped Vinny's legs and drug the winded muscleboy to the center of the ring.

Elton held both legs spread eagle and stomped down hard into the ripped six pack abs of his opponent.

Vinny grunted loudly as Elton returned the abuse he had dished out earlier.

Elton reached down and drug Vinny to his feet. He hammerlocked his right arm than lifted the muscleboy and slammed him down to the mat on the hammerlocked arm.

Vinny yelled out as his arm and shoulder bore the brunt of the impact.

Elton then followed Vinny down driving a closed fist to the bicep.

Vinny yelled out.

Elton again drug the teen to his feet. This time he hurled him to the ropes and set to deliver a back body drop.

Vinny may have been winded, but he was no fool. He saw the move telegraphed and leapt over Elton's back. Vinny hit the ropes and charged back toward Elton leveling him with a flying elbow across the face.

Elton fell to the mat, momentarily stunned.

Vinny dropped to his knees. Both teens were sucking wind as they struggled to their feet.

Their eyes bore into each other. Both knew this was close to ending.

As if on a secret cue both teens charged each other. Cody watched as they leveled each other with across the throat clotheslines.

Elton and Vinny hit the mat hard and both lie gasping for breath.

Cody started to count.

Cody reached five and there was no movement. He continued to count. As he reached eight both teens climbed to all fours.

When he hit nine both struggled to stand but fell back into the ropes.

Elton and Vinny stood across the ring facing each other and clutching the ropes to remain on their feet.

As they took deep breaths Cody signaled for the action to resume.

Elton and Vinny were both spent. They staggered toward each other to lock up.

Elton suddenly dropped to his knees and went into a shoulder roll. He swept Vinny's legs sending the blond powerhouse tumbling to the mat.

Elton rolled and stood to his feet. Vinny climbed to his knees and Elton reached down and secured a full nelson. He pulled Vinny up a little then swung his legs around Vinny's torso from the rear and locked on a body scissors.

Vinny grunted as he felt the powerful legs lock around his rib cage.

Elton hooked his ankles and squeezed tightly. Vinny gasped for air as he felt the compression against his ribs.

Elton worked the powerful muscles in his legs and squeezed them tightly around the blond jock's chest and ribs.

Vinny tried to pull his arms free but Elton clamped his legs tighter and bore down.

Vinny was panting as he started to feel lightheaded.

Elton's body shook with exhaustion as he powered on both holds. He knew if he failed here, the odds were good he would lose. He had come too far to lose.

Elton released the full nelson and locked a sleeper hold on Vinny. Vinny clawed at the muscular arms but he could feel himself getting weaker.

Cody could see Vinny going out. He watched as Elton's big biceps flexed and cut off the teen's air. Cody checked to make sure it was not a chokehold.

Vinny could feel himself getting foggy as Elton squeezed his ribs and took him out with his sleeper.

Vinny decided discretion was the better part of valor. Weakly he said, "Come on Elton, I submit."

Cody heard the submission but Elton did not. Cody tapped Elton on the shoulder and signaled the tough teen to break the hold.

Elton immediately released the hold and Vinny crumbled to the mat.

Cody called for the bell and raised Elton's hand in victory.

The crowd went wild as Elton was announced the winner.

"AND HERE IS YOUR WINNER BY SUBMISSION: ELTON."

Elton took his bows, then reached down and helped Vinny to his feet. The two tough teens embraced.

The audience cheered louder at the display of sportsmanship.

Elton helped Vinny from the ring and with assistance from Derrick and Martin back to the locker room.

Vinny felt bad he had lost, but he had lost a fair fight. Either teen could have won.

Martin patted Vinny on the back. "Great match, dude. You did yourself proud."

Vinny nodded. "Gave it my best shot."

Elton nodded. "Yeah you did. Damn Vinny you are tough."

Vinny nodded a thanks. "Hey Elton, just do me one favor."

Elton looked at Vinny. "What's that?"

Vinny grinned broadly. "Kick Luke's sorry ass."

All four teens laughed. Martin knew Elton stood a pretty good chance of winning.

But as we all know a pretty good chance against the Posse is not always good enough.

One could bet Kevin was already hatching a plan to make sure Elton would not be one hundred percent come next Saturday night.
