punk_wrestler2000 MW Championship Match: Taylor Vs Elton: Part 1

As the LW did battle in the locker room and talked about upcoming battles, Taylor had his eyes on his upcoming challenger: Current MW Champ: Elton.

Taylor knew this would be his toughest match to date in TW. Elton was one tough dude in and out of the ring.

As Martin left with Austin, or Houston as the former Champ had addressed him Taylor made his way over to Elton and Derrick.

Elton saw Taylor strutting over and stopped spotting for Derrick.

Elton was poised for a fight. He remembered all to well how Taylor had acted in the Posse.

Derrick had told Elton that Taylor had changed and Elton still doubted it. He and the Beast of TW had unresolved issues to settle.

Derrick had also told Elton how Taylor had assisted Daniel the night after the 4 corners match. Elton listened and wondered if Taylor had indeed changed for the better.

Taylor approached with his palms up. Elton knew this was the universal sign for a truce. But still Elton did not trust the once devious teen. Elton braced for a Pearl Harbor attack.

Action in the gym ceased as the champ and contender came face to face.

The size difference was evident. Elton towered over his would be challenger by a good 4" and out weighed him by 23 pounds of solid ripped muscle.

Those facts did not discourage the ever tough Beast of TW. Taylor sported ripped 8 pack abs and 17" biceps. He may have been short but he was dynamite in the ring.

Elton was equally as ripped.

Derrick watched and hoped the two grapplers would not get into an out and out brawl.

Elton kept his eye on Taylor. "What do you want?" The tough looking black teen asked.

Taylor locked eyes with Elton. "Just this. I want you to know I plan on fighting a good hard fair match."

Elton looked skeptical. He had seen Taylor in action, but had to admit during the four corners match Taylor had not low balled anyone like Stefan had done.

Derrick and others watched as Taylor and Elton stood toe to toe and stared each other down.

Taylor then did something totally out of character. He extended his hand to Elton. "May the best man win."

Elton looked at the extended hand and debated about slapping it away. But Elton was not that type of guy. He ripped his abs and braced to be pulled forward into a knee lift as he shook hands with the Beast.

Elton noticed Taylor's grip was powerful. He winced at first then applied his own killer grip. The two teens stood locked in a death gripping hand shake.

Neither teen moved to break the lock up. Both knew it would be a sign of weakness.

Derrick and others watched, ready to move in and break up a brawl.

As if on a hidden cue both teen's released their grip and stepped back.

Both knew come tomorrow night they would be in one tough battle.

Elton knew Taylor had earned this shot.

Taylor turned and left the gym. He knew he had to be on top of his game plan to take Elton down.

As Taylor exited the gym he ran into Dane, Jayson, Sid and Daniel.

Dane had never liked Taylor, but had to respect him for helping Daniel out of a bad situation.

Taylor and Daniel locked eyes and nodded. Neither teen spoke, but something was there.

The night of the match arrived. Taylor entered the locker room with his best friend Jacoby. As they walked down the hall Corwin walked up to them.

"Hey Beast." Corwin said with a big grin.

Jacoby smirked. He knew Corwin was probably the only guy in the league who could call Taylor, Beast to his face and not get worked over.

"Hey Tarzan."

Corwin grinned. "Good luck, buddy." Corwin said as he slapped the Beast on the shoulders.

"Thanks, Corwin. I think I may need it."

Corwin nodded. He rubbed his abs remembering the beating Martin and Elton had dished out to him and Drew.

Taylor and Jacoby entered the locker room.

Elton was already there and standing with Martin, Derrick, Joey and Patrick.

Derrick the ever friendly big farm boy walked over and wished Taylor good luck.

Elton had to smile. Derrick liked just about everyone.

The closer match time came the more nervous Taylor was getting.

This was what Taylor had worked for since coming to TW. A championship shot.

The lights in the TW arena dimmed and the ring announcer stepped into the ring.

The LW wrestlers had just finished putting on one hell of a show.

New comer TC, the former JW LW champ and former TW LW champ Willy had just put on an outstanding display of TW wrestling at its finest.

Now it was time for the MW wrestlers to take to the ring.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE."

"OUR NEXT MATCH IS FOR THE COVETED TW MW TITLE JACKET."

The fans erupted in loud rancorous applause.

They knew this match was going to be a barn burner.

"FIRST MAKING HIS WAY TO THE RING IS THE CHALLENGER. HE STANDS 5'8" TALL AND WEIGHS 164 POUNDS. HE IS KNOWN AS THE BEAST OF TW. LET'S HAVE A BIG HAND FOR THE WINNER OF LAST WEEKS FOUR CORNERS MATCH: TAYLOR."

Taylor strutted to the ring in blue Speedos. Taylor's body looked powerful as each muscle flexed as he jogged to the ring. This young man was nothing but 164 pounds of rock hard teen muscleboy.

The audience gave the Beast a heart felt ovation.

Taylor really liked getting a warm ovation from the crowd. It meant more then winning the match.

Taylor stepped into the ring and moved to his corner as he waited for the champ to be introduced.

"AND NOW MAKING HIS WAY TO THE RING IS THE CURRENT REIGNING MW CHAMPION. HE STANDS 6' AND WEIGHS 187 POUNDS. LET'S GIVE A BIG HAND TO ELTON."

Elton walked confidently toward the ring. He like Taylor was a fine specimen of young teen manhood in its final stages of development.

Elton's powerful abs rippled as he approached the ring. The muscles in his biceps and shoulders flexed with his every movement.

Elton had his championship jacket draped over his arm and as he entered the ring he handed it to the announcer. The announcer held it up for all to see.

The crowd erupted into loud cheering for the current champion. Elton had always bee a crowd favorite.

Elton was also without his singlet and wore black Speedos.

Elton stepped into the ring and locked eyes with his tough looking opponent.

The two teens approached each other and shook hands.

The audience applauded the display of sportsmanship from both guys.

The ref called both tough teens to the middle of the ring for the traditional search and rules show. He knew he would find nothing amiss.

"THIS MATCH IS TO SUBMISSION. IF A COUNT OUT OCCURS THERE WILL BE A FIVE MINUTE BREAK AND THE MATCH WILL CONTINUE. IF THERE IS ANY OUTSIDE INTERFERRENCE THE MATCH WILL BE STOPPED, A BREAK GIVEN AND THEN CONTINUE. THIS MATCH WILL HAVE A SIXTY MINUTE TIME LIMIT. IF NO WINNER IS DETERMINED IN THAT TIME WE WILL MOVE TO TEN MINUTE INTERVALS."

The audience knew by looking at these two teens they could easily battle it out for an hour or longer.

The announcer stepped from the ring.

The ref called for the bell and the TW MW title match was underway.

Taylor knew he had to take out Elton's legs. He had no desire to fall victim to their awesome power. Elton in turn knew if he wanted a win over the Beast he had to break him down piece by piece.

The two rugged teens came together center ring in the traditional collar and elbow tie up.

Their muscles bulged as they jockeyed for the superior position.

What Taylor lacked in height he made up for in muscle. After a couple minutes the two powerhouse teens broke apart and circled.

Elton charged Taylor who sidestepped and gripped his arm and took him to the mat with an arm drag take down. Taylor kept a hold of the arm and dropped a knee to the big bicep. Elton grunted as Taylor reared up and dropped another knee to the same spot.

Taylor knew he had to work the arms and the legs.

Taylor brought Elton up from the mat and applied an arm wringer. As he twisted the arm he sent a hard kick to the armpit. Elton grunted. Taylor sent in a second hard kick then using arm wringer he converted it to a hammer lock. Taylor stepped behind Elton and drove the arm to the middle of his back.

Elton stood to his tip toes to relieve the tremendous pressure.

Elton winced as Taylor tried to yank the arm higher up his back.

Taylor shot his hand between Elton's legs and lifted the teen from his feet. Taylor slammed Elton to the mat on the hammerlocked arm.

Elton arched up and took a hard stomp to his ripped abs.

Elton tried not to show he had felt the shot but he gasped for breath.

Taylor reached down and drug Elton to his feet. He went for an Irish whip but Elton reversed the throw and Taylor went for the ride.

As Taylor shot back Elton leapt in the air and locked on a flying head scissors. He flipped the Beast to the mat, hard.

Taylor swore as he felt the powerful legs lock around his head. Elton rolled Taylor around the mat locked in his powerful quads. Taylor was getting winded as Elton increased his grip on his head with each roll.

Elton stopped his rolling motion. Taylor placed his hands on Elton's knees and did a semi hand stand. He fell over Elton and pulled his head free. Taylor rolled to his left and both teens shot to their feet.

They circled. Both guys were breathing harder.

Elton raised his hands for a test of strength. Taylor shrugged and stepped up to meet the challenge.

They locked fingers and the battle was on. Elton was surprised by the muscle power emanating from this tough teen. Taylor was much stronger then he looked.

Elton knew his added height gave him the advantage. He went for a quick muscle down of Taylor. Taylor planted his powerful legs and refused to yield.

Taylor then surprised Elton by bringing his hands down and then bending the wrists over and back. Elton cried out and sunk to his knees.

Taylor held him down to the mat on his knees.

Elton was incredulous as he was taken down.

Taylor pulled Elton's hands up above his head and walked forward, Elton was driven back first to the mat and Taylor dropped down on him in a schoolboy pin.

Elton felt Taylor's knees grinding into his biceps.

Taylor rubbed his knees over the biceps and ground them to the mat. Elton winced, but kept his composure. He swung his legs up and locked them around Taylor's head. Elton pulled back and stretched Taylor's torso tautly.

Elton pulled his hands free and as he stretched Taylor and sent four hard fists to his belly. Taylor grunted as the fists impacted with his stretched and unflexed abs.

Elton then flipped Taylor to the mat but maintained the head scissors.

Taylor was winded but got to his knees and tried another handstand. Elton was ready. As Taylor went into the handstand Elton gripped his waist and held him vertical. He lifted his legs and slammed Taylor head first to the mat.

Taylor fell back to the canvas. Elton squeezed tighter around Taylor's trapped head.

Taylor was shocked by Elton's counter. He had felt the impact on his neck and knew he could not try that again.

Elton powered down on Taylor's head and squeezed hard. Taylor's face was turning beet red in between his massive boulder like thighs.

Taylor tried to bridge up and Elton flipped him back to the mat. Taylor grunted and gasped for air. He was where he did not want to be: caught between Elton's Herculean legs.

Taylor was getting desperate, he was struggling to breathe. He knew he had to find an escape.

Taylor reached up and locked his hands on Elton's knee. As he did he reached behind and dug into the soft tissue behind the kneecap. Taylor squeezed down as hard as he could.

Elton felt the fingers digging in and winced. He released the head scissors and dropped a leg across Taylor's chest. Taylor gasped for breath and rolled free.

Taylor was still on his knees sucking wind as Elton got to his feet and moved in on him.

As Elton reached down to pull Taylor to his feet Taylor was ready. He shot a quick hard double thrust to Elton's lower belly. Elton was caught off guard and doubled over. Taylor charged forward and hooked his legs. Taylor lifted and dropped Elton hard to the mat flat on his back.

Taylor kept a grip on Elton's legs and rolled the champ to his stomach. Taylor secured a Boston Crab. He pulled the legs way up and straddled Elton's back. Elton moaned as he felt the pressure on his back.

Taylor continued to pour on the pressure. Elton pounded the mat.

Taylor moved up and really bent Elton's back in an awkward position.

Taylor then squatted down applying even more pressure to Elton's back muscles.

Elton was starting to sweat as he thought about submitting to the Beast. But he was the champ and he was not ready to throw in the towel.

Elton used his powerful arms to raise himself from the mat. He then flexed the powerful muscles in his legs and flipped Taylor off. Elton lie on the mat breathing hard. He knew he had come close to being defeated.

The audience loved the hard hitting action. They were seeing a real see saw battle.

Taylor was on his feet quickly. As Elton started to stand Taylor launched a standing drop kick that caught him flush in the chest.

Elton stumbled back to the corner.

Taylor lowered his head and charged in aiming a shoulder block for Elton's ripped abs. Elton braced for the impact and his counter. As Taylor's powerful shoulder dug in Elton folded over the Beast's back. As he did he locked his hands around the Beast's waist.

Taylor felt the powerful arms lock around his waist and knew a split second to late what was coming.

Taylor tried to counter but Elton locked his hands tightly and squeezed.

Elton stepped from the corner and lifted Taylor into an over the shoulder back breaker.

Taylor cried out as the pain radiated through his entire body. Elton started to bounce on his feet.

Taylor moaned but refused to submit.

Elton backed to the ropes and got a running start. Halfway across the ring he lifted Taylor from his shoulder and power slammed him to the mat.

Taylor felt his breath knocked from him on impact.

Elton stood to his feet and looked at the winded teen. Elton decided to wind him a lot more. He leapt up and landed a double stomp to Taylor's gut. Taylor wheezed as what little air he had left was pushed from his lungs.

Elton stepped off the Beast and rolled him to his stomach. Elton then gripped Taylor by the nape of his neck and his trunks. He lifted the powerful teen and gutbusted him. Taylor fell to the mat gasping for air.

Taylor gasped for air as he hugged his stomach.

Jacoby watched as Elton finally took total control of the match. Elton was still favoring his right leg, but he looked ready to go for the kill.

But first he needed to soften Taylor up just a bit more.

Elton gripped Taylor's legs and rolled him to his back. He spread the teen's legs and sent six hard stomps to the Beast's ripped eight pack abs. Taylor's hands went to his midsection and hugged his stomach.

Elton drug the winded teen to his feet. He flung him to the ropes back first then set to deliver a head butt to Taylor's belly. Taylor was winded and gasping for breath. Taylor saw the move and knew it could take him down for the count. As he rebounded forward he dropped down and slid between Elton's legs. Taylor then stood shakily to his feet pivoted and leapt in the air. Taylor's leg came down across the back of Elton's head and flattened him to the mat.

Elton was dazed as he hit the mat hard.

Taylor was still breathing hard as he moved in on Elton.

Elton shook his head and slowly climbed to his knees. Taylor straddled him and dropped down on his back forcing him back to the canvas.

Elton grunted loudly as the 164 pounds crashed into his back. Elton then felt Taylor lock on a rear chinlock.

The ref moved in and checked to make sure it was not a choke hold.

Once he knew it was not he stood back.

Taylor pulled back with fierce intensity on Elton's chin. Taylor's fingers dug in deeply but he was mindful of the choke hold.

Taylor knew it was now or never. He rolled Elton to his side and locked his legs around his chest. Taylor then released the rear chin lock and locked on a sleeper hold.

Elton knew he was fucked. Taylor pulled Elton's body close to his and applied the pressure to the sleeper. Taylor's big biceps encircled Elton's head as he bore down with every ounce of strength he had left.

Elton did the only thing he could. He fired his elbows back into Taylor's rugged torso with enough force to break a cement block.

Taylor grunted loudly, but hung on to the sleeper like a jackal on his prey.

Elton could feel himself going out. He sent elbow after elbow into Taylor's chest and stomach. Finally one struck Taylor in the sternum. Elton felt the sleeper hold loosen.

Elton fired another hard shot to Taylor's sternum. He heard Taylor gasp for breath, than the sleeper was released.

Taylor was clutching his stomach and gasping for air.

Elton was down and breathing deeply. He knew just how close he had come to being dethroned.

Elton and Taylor slowly climbed to their feet. Both teen's eyes showed a mutual respect for their tough opponent.

Both of their hard bodies were covered in sweat. Both sucked down needed air. They had been to hell and back during this hard but fair match.

The two grapplers circled. Both knew a mistake now would be costly.

The two warriors charged each other. They met center ring and jostled for a take down. Elton came out on top with an arm drag take down. He kept the arm locked and planted a foot to the center of Taylor's back as he twisted the arm hard.

Taylor grunted loudly. Elton raised his foot and sent a stomp to Taylor's back.

Elton then released the arm and bent down. He hooked Taylor's arms and lifted him from the mat in a full nelson.

Taylor swore loudly. He knew this hold was unbreakable and devastating.

Taylor felt the awesome muscle power of the champ as he muscled his chin to his chest.

Taylor struggled but Elton worked over his biceps and shoulders in the powerfully applied hold. Taylor could feel the pressure on his neck as Elton lifted him from the mat and swung him from side to side.

Taylor knew if Elton set him back down on the mat, he could use the champ's height against him.

Elton's arms were tiring. He set Taylor back to his feet and muscled the full nelson on as hard as he could.

Elton could feel Taylor caving in to his overpowering muscles.

Taylor waited till Elton was leaning into him then let his legs buckle.

One minute Taylor was erect the next his knees folded and he fell straight down to the canvas.

Elton's was caught off guard and his chin impacted with the top of Taylor's head as Taylor fell to his knees.

Elton staggered back to the ropes then fell to the canvas. Both he and Taylor lie on the mat sucking wind.

Taylor knew Elton was as close to exhaustion as he was. Taylor crawled over to the dazed Elton and locked on a figure four headscissors.

Elton felt the powerful quads lock around his head and struggled. He was still partially out of it from the sleeper and this leg lock was overpowering.

Taylor made sure to roll Elton to the center of the ring.

As they rolled Elton tried desperately to kick out. He could feel himself going to sleep in Taylor's powerful legs.

Taylor bridged up and applied even more pressure. He knew it was now or never.

Elton wheezed as his air was cut off. Finally he tapped out.

Taylor did not see the tap out. The ref tapped him on the shoulder. "Release the hold, son. It's over."

Taylor immediately released the hold.

He stood to his feet, then extended his hand to Elton.

All watched to see what was going to happen. They all remembered Taylor's reputation when he was in the Posse. They hoped after this hard fought match, Taylor was not about to turn mean.

As the ring announcer started to speak the ring was rushed by more then a few MW wrestlers.

Taylor had by this time helped a winded Elton to his feet. The two tough teens embraced.

Patrick, Joey, Martin, Corwin, Jacoby, Derrick and others stormed the ring.

Pulling up the rear came Daniel.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN YOUR WINNER AND NEW TW MW CHAMPION: Taylor."

Taylor and Elton were leaning on each other for support as their friends stormed the ring.

Both teens were covered in sweat, breathing hard and spent.

Corwin hugged Taylor tightly and offered his congratulations. Corwin then turned to Elton and offered his hand. Elton took the extended hand. He knew Corwin was being sincere.

The audience gave both wrestlers a hearty round of applause. They had seen one hell of a hard fought fair match.

Daniel congratulated both guys. As he shook hands with Taylor he grinned. "We have a date in the ring bud."

Taylor nodded. "Us or with others?"

Daniel smirked. "Both. But first we have a tag team ass kicking to dish out."

Taylor smiled. "Let's get the match signed, partner."

The teens exited the ring. Elton did not feel real bad he lost. At least he had not lost to Geoffrey.

Elton was impressed. He had figured Taylor would resort to low blows and underhanded tactics. When he had not Elton's respect for him had rose. Taylor had defeated him fair and square and now earned the right to wear the prestigious MW jacket.

How long he would keep it remained to be seen. The MW division was stacked full of rough tough competition. Any guy on any given day could be wearing the title jacket.

But for now the Title belonged to the BEAST.
