punk_wrestler2000 MW: Logan "The AB Crusher" vs Joey: Part 1:The Set up
But as it had been in JW when Logan had first joined the league, the guys here shunned him. He could see it in their eyes. They thought he was a wimp.
Logan had had the same trouble in JW right up until he had taken Geoffrey to a sixty minute draw.
From that point on Logan got some good matches and made some awesome friends. Chase, Graham and former JW LW champ TC were among his closest friends.
Logan looked punkish. He was not a thug, but he did have a cocky arrogant streak running through him. That was one of the reasons he got on so well with guys like TC, Graham and Chase.
Logan was not a muscleboy. He looked every bit of a jobber boy. Logan had a slim but nice build, his abs were flat, but not a six pack. But Logan could take a punch. He had proven it many times before.
Logan's best attributes were his awesomely muscled legs and his devastating gut punching ability. The later had earned him the nickname "AB CRUSHER" in the now defunct JW league.
Any of the JW guys could tell you about Logan's power punches. Guys like, Jimmy, Rick, Carter, Geoffrey, Connor, Joshua and Prescott to name a few. They had all felt his devastating power.
It was not so much the power behind the punch but where and how it was delivered. Logan had dropped a lot of hard muscled teens to their knees with one punch,
Now on the morning after TC had beaten former LW Champ Willy, Logan decided it was time for the TW league to meet him. He entered the arena with his two amigos: Chase and Graham.
Logan had a good idea of who he wanted to challenge. He wanted someone with hard ripped abs. he wanted someone that when he destroyed them in the ring, the other MW wrestlers would stand up and take notice.
Logan's first thoughts drifted to guys like Taylor, Frank, Stefan or Derrick. But he did not want to start off too big. He wanted to start off with guys his own weight. Guys like JOBBER JOEY, as the JW guys referred to him. Or Joey's little buddy Patrick.
Logan had no idea Joey was not a jobber and was just having a run of bad luck. Nor did he bother to find out. All he knew was he had seen Joey lose to tough matches.
Well not really. Austin had taken Joey down quite easily, by Logan's estimation.
Logan had been ring side when the soft looking Robby had decimated Joey.
But then again Logan's take on Joey's last two matches was just that: his take. Others knew both had been hard fought but Joey had come up on the short end of the three count.
Logan knew provoking a match with Jobber Joey would be easy.
As Logan, Graham and Chase hit the ring to workout the gym doors opened and Joey and his buddy Patrick entered.
Joey and Patrick were still in shock that TC had beaten Willy. They were discussing Wes's possibilities of retaining his title against the tough and formidable TC.
Logan and his friends stopped their workout and listened.
Then Logan said loud enough for Joey and Patrick to here him. "Hey guys look its Jobber Joey and his little buddy, Patty."
Chase and Graham laughed. Joey flushed red as he was dissed by the three punks in the ring.
Patrick looked none to happy, but kept his mouth shut. He had no desire to be on the receiving end of a three on two beating.
Joey was clad in a loose fitting tank top. He ripped it off and turned to face the three guys in the ring. Joey ripped his well developed six pack abs.
Logan smirked as he locked his eyes on Joey's finely honed stomach muscles. He could not wait to get this twerp in the ring and break those abs down.
Joey flexed his biceps and locked eyes with Logan. "You don't look like a wrestler to me, BOY." Joey said snidely.
Usually Joey was not this forward. But today the JW guys had struck a nerve. He was not a JOBBER.
Logan stepped from the ring and moved to stand nose to nose with Joey. Joey shoved the dude back out of his personal space.
"Back off, BOY." Joey said as he shoved Logan back with authority.
Logan sneered and swung a quarter power punch to Joey's abs. Joey grinned broadly as the fist bounced off his incredibly ripped abs.
Chase and Graham smiled. They loved it when Logan set up a sap.
Logan threw another three jabs into Joey's gut. Joey let the blows glance off his ripped wall of muscle.
Then before Logan knew it Joey fired a combination of his own to the flat stomach of Logan. Logan allowed the blows to pound into his unflexed abs. he had known Joey would counter and he wanted to suck the kid into a sense of false confidence.
Logan dropped to his knees hugging his stomach. "Fuck that hurt." Logan gasped out.
In the ring Chase and Graham hid their smirks. Logan could act hurt when he had too.
Joey grinned with sheer delight. "Next time think twice about fucking with me, BOY."
Logan climbed slowly to his feet. "Hey man, how bout taking me on in the ring? Please? No one here will wrestle me." Logan sounded almost like he was pleading.
Joey glanced at Patrick and shrugged. He figured why not chalk up an easy victory.
"All right. I'll wrestle you. Shit man, I will even go easy on you and give you a chance." Joey said, knowing this kid could not come close to hurting him.
Logan continued his act. "Thanks man, I really need the practice. My buddies use me as a mat mop."
Chase and Graham had to turn away and cover their mouths. That was anything but the truth. Logan could hold his own with either of them.
A couple minutes later as Joey and Logan were setting up their match, TC walked in. he went right up to Logan and gripped him by the shirt. "Fucker, I told you never to be in the gym when I wanted to practice." TC then drove three hard fists to Logan's gut that dropped him like a ton of bricks.
Logan lie gasping for breath and hugging his stomach.
TC turned and walked away.
Joey helped Logan to his feet and headed to get the match signed. He had no idea he had just been duped.
As Joey and Patrick left the gym, Logan jumped to his feet. He was grinning from ear to ear. "Man what a fucking stooge. He fell for it hook, line and sinker."
TC smiled. "Yeah just like those two LW saps, Wes and Willy. Shit by this time next week I will be champ again."
Logan slapped TC on the back. "Yeah you will and hopefully soon one of us will be Mw champ. When I am done taking Jobber Joey down and crushing his abs, TW will see a new force to be reckoned with."
Graham and Chase nodded. They knew Joey had no chance in surviving Logan's debut match.
Later that day when Joey told Dale he was taking on a poor defenseless Jobber from JW, Dale looked skeptical.
"Joey, please tell me you did not sign a match with Logan?" Dale said almost fearfully.
Joey beamed. "Yeah I did. Shit, he's got nothing I can not handle."
Dale shook his head. "Joey they played you for a fool. Let me guess, TC arrived and decked Logan making him look like a weak little wuss."
Slowly Joey nodded. "Yeah..But."
Dale cut him off. "Joey, Logan was known as the "AB CRUSHER" in JW.
Now it has been said that Joey is sometimes slow to get the point, but this time the lights came on right off. Joey knew he had been played for a stooge.
But Logan did not know Joey knew.
The ball was now in Joey's court.
MW: Logan "The AB Crusher" vs Joey: Part 2: The Match
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OUR NEXT MATCH IS A MW CONTEST. FIRST MAKING HIS TW DEBUT STANDING 5'10" TALL AND WEIGHING 165 POUNDS IS LOGAN."
"LOGAN WAS NICK NAMED "THE AB CRUSHER" IN JW. LET'S GIVE HIM A WARM TW WELCOME."
A lot to the TW MW wrestlers watched as the teen made his way to the ring. They noticed he was nothing special. He was not ripped, nor overly muscled. He looked like a typical teen on a Sunday afternoon outing.
Frank turned to his little brother Chaz. "AB Crusher, my ass. He looks like a first rate Jobber."
Chaz laughed out loud.
Chase and Graham were seated behind Fran k and Chaz. They said nothing. They knew in a few minutes these guys would have a different view of Logan
"AND INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT. HE ALSO STANDS 5'10" TALL AND WEIGHED IN AT 160 POUNDS. LET'S HEAR IF FOR JOEY."
The crowd gave the orange bikini clad teen a heart felt ovation. Joey always had been a crowd favorite.
As the ref called the two teens to the middle of the ring, Joey rippled his rock hard abs. he knew they could handle a ton of abuse from bigger and stronger guys than Logan.
The ref went over the rules then motioned the two guys back to their corners.
He motioned for the bell.
As Joey had figured Logan went right for his stomach muscles. Logan charged out and leveled a shoulder block at Joey.
Joey saw the move telegraphed and stepped aside. As Logan shot by Joey nailed him with a kick to the gut. Logan grunted as he fell to the mat.
Joey stepped behind Logan and drug him to his feet. He locked on a full nelson and ran full tilt toward the corner. Logan knew what was coming and extended his powerful legs and used them to absorb the impact. Logan felt his legs hit the ropes and he pressed backwards hard. Joey staggered back and lost his balance. He fell to the mat, but still held on to the full nelson.
Joey knew he had to keep Logan's arms under control.
Logan bridged up and press back into Joey. Joey felt his shoulders hit the mat.
"ONE" The ref cried out.
Joey tried to raise up.
"Two" Logan's legs were to powerful. Joey released the full nelson and scooted from under Logan
Logan and Joey circled. Logan raised his hands for a test of strength.
Joey grinned. There was no way this kid could muscle him down.
The two teens locked fingers and Joey immediately bent Logan's wrists backwards and started to take control
Logan grunted. Joey started to force the teen to his knees.
"SHIT" Logan gasped out.
Joey smirked. Joey then pulled his knee back and drove it hard into Logan's chest.
Joey heard a satisfying rush of air. He sent another hard knee into Logan's torso.
Joey then used his finger interlock and pulled Logan back to his feet.
Joey started to walk Logan back to the corner.
Logan planted his powerful legs and tried to stop Joey's momentum. Joey was ready and released the lock up. Before Logan could counter Joey sent a hard uppercut to his navel.
Logan let out a big ooofff and doubled over.
Chase and Graham winced. They hoped Logan was still acting. If he wasn't he was going to get his ass kicked.
Joey gripped Mr. AB CRUSHER by the nape of his neck. He whipped him across the ring. As Logan shot back Joey leapt in the air and connected with a drop kick to the chest that sent Logan reeling to and through the ropes.
Logan crashed hard to the arena floor.
Logan hit hard and was dazed. The ref motioned Joey to a neutral corner and started his ten count.
Logan was slow getting to his feet.
Logan shook his head. He knew someone had tipped this sap off. Joey was taking it to him hard.
Logan knew he had to move to plan B.
Logan climbed to the ring apron slowly. Joey inched over toward the ropes. Logan just stood there trying to catch his breath.
Joey grew tired of waiting an darted toward the hurt teen. He gripped Logan by the head and snap mared him over the top ropes.
Logan landed flat on his back in the middle of the ring.
Joey moved in on the downed teen. Logan bided his time.
Joey reached down and gripped Logan by the hair and started to pull him to his feet. Logan checked the ref's position and then cocked his fist. As he did he made sure his knuckle on his middle finger was protruding.
Logan cranked the fist back and drove it hard into Joey's gut.
Joey's eyes bulged as he felt the powerful punch strike home. Logan made sure when his fist impacted to grind his knuckle hard into Joey's navel.
Joey released Logan's hair and clutched his stomach. No one had ever hurt him with one punch.
Joey moved a step back as Logan got to his feet.
Logan saw Joey had felt that punch. He aimed to make the Jobber feel a lot more.
Logan charged Joey and mailed him with a shoulder to the stomach. Joey was forced back to the corner. Logan then slammed a forearm across his throat and held him pinned in the corner.
Logan knew he had until four to hammer the teen.
Logan was known for his rapid fire gut punches. As the ref started to count, Logan started to strike.
Ten solid fist dug into Joey's navel before the ref had hit four. The final blow was another knuckle buster to the navel. When Logan stepped back Joey sagged to the canvas clutching his stomach.
Joey thought briefly this kid could match Martin's snake strikes.
Joey gripped the ropes and hauled himself to his feet. Logan was on him like stink on shit. Three more hard shots rocked his stomach. Joey doubled over as both hands clutched his gut.
Logan hooked Joey and prepared for a crotch slam. But what he delivered was a gut buster. Joey whished out his remaining air and tried to roll under the bottom rope. Logan grabbed his legs and pulled him back to the middle of the ring.
Logan hooked Joey's legs over his shoulders and stood Joey on his had. He then reached down and locked both hands on to Joey's stomach in a double ab claw. Joey let out a slight yell as he felt the strong fingers tear into his abs.
Logan felt the abs and knew they were still too strong to fall victim to his claw hold. He let Joey go and he crashed to the mat.
Joey was lying face down. Logan bounced off the ropes and nailed Joey with an elbow drop to the back of the neck. Logan then lifted the winded teen to his feet by the nape of his neck. He whipped the teen to the corner.
Joey hit the ring post hard and sagged in the corner. He saw Logan setting to deliver a body splash.
Joey knew he had to act. His gut hurt, but he was not beat yet.
As Logan charged Joey dropped to the mat. Logan was already committed and splashed hard into an empty corner.
Logan sagged over the ropes. Joey climbed to his feet and laced his hands together. He drove a vicious double fisted blow to Logan's lower back.
Joey then dropped to his back. He gripped Logan's arms and as he pulled them back he planted both feet to Logan's lower back. Joey reverse monkey flipped Logan from the corner,
Logan arched in the air and came down on his face, chest and stomach.
Joey climbed to his feet. He waited for Logan to get to his hands and knees then drilled him with a hard kick to his underbelly. Logan was flipped to his back by the force of the blow.
Joey was ready. As Logan lie there sucking air, Joey double stomped his lean flat stomach.
Logan cried out as the 160 pounds crashed down into his gut.
Chase and Graham winced. They knew Logan was tough, but also knew his stomach could not handle abuse like that.
Joey stepped from the teen. He looked down at the kid who had suckered him into this match. Joey wanted some revenge.
Joey hooked Logan's legs and rolled him to his stomach. Joey locked on a Boston Crab.
Cody watched from the locker room as Joey got tough. He had spent some long hours with Joey and now it was about to payoff.
Logan grunted, but refused to submit. He felt Joey move further up his back and lean back to get more pressure on his back. Logan raised his arm and hooked Joey's head. He yanked back hard. Joey grunted but refused to release the hold.
Three minutes Joey cranked on the Boston Crab. When his arms started to ache, Joey realized Logan was not going to submit. He released the hold and stomped Logan hard in the small of the back.
Joey reached down and drug Logan to his feet. He went for an Irish whip, which Logan reversed.
Joey hit the ropes and ricocheted back. Logan was set and dropped to his knees. As Joey flew back at him Logan sent a powerful double thrust to his gut. Joey doubled over and pitched face down to the mat.
Logan got to his feet and lifted Joey from the mat. He flung the winded teen over his shoulders in a fireman's carry.
Logan backed to the ropes and climbed to the top rope.
Logan raised Joey over his head and leapt off the top rope. As he leapt he maneuvered Joey around and dropped him over his knees in an off the top rope gutbuster.
As they hit the mat and Joey rolled to the canvas, he started to wheeze and gag. He could not catch his breath. Joey knew he was at Logan's mercy.
Graham and Chase cheered loudly as Logan delivered the devastating blow to Joey's ripped abs.
Logan walked slowly over to the winded and gasping teen. He lifted Joey from the mat and carried him to the corner. He turned Joey around and draped him from the ropes by his legs. Logan stood back and sent six hard stomps to Joey's wide open and heaving stomach. Joey gagged and retched as the powerful kicks tore into his battered gut.
The ref had counted to four and Logan backed off. The ref freed Joey's legs and the teen fell to the mat in a fetal position.
Logan smirked as he drug Joey to his feet. Now it was time for his finisher.
Logan locked Joey in an abdominal stretch. Joey screamed out in pain. Logan then took his free hand and started lying the knuckle buster punches to Joey's now soft and mushy gut.
Joey tried to flex what was left of his abdominal muscles. Every time he tried to flex, Logan ore through his once ripped abs with his hard knuckle shots. Joey had tears streaming down his face as he felt his powerful abs give way.
Logan let Joey free from the awesome hold. Joey fell to the mat hugging his stomach.
Logan once again drug the teen to his feet and whipped him to the ropes. As Joey shot back, Logan dropped to his knees and greeted Joey with an ab claw. Joey folded over Logan's hand. Logan then showed incredible strength as he lifted Joey over his head by the claw hold.
Joey screamed out in pain as he felt Logan's steel like fingers rearranging his insides.
"I QUIT" Joey shouted out with tears streaming down his face. "OH SHIT I QUIT."
Logan hoisted Joey over his head and slammed him hard to the mat.
Joey lie there hugging his destroyed abs.
The bell sounded as the ref raised Logan's hand in victory.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN HERE IS YOUR WINNER, WITH AN OVER THE HEAD ABDOMINAL CLAW SUBMISSION: THE AB CRUSHER: LOGAN"
Chase, Graham and TC rushed to the ring to congratulate Logan. They knew the kid had definitely turned some MW wrestler's heads tonight.
As they started from the ring, Logan helped Joey to his feet. Logan then slammed one last knuckle buster punch to Joey's bruised stomach. Joey fell in a heap clutching his stomach.
Patrick and Cody rushed to the ring to assist the battered teen.
Cody was upset Joey had lost, but even he had to admit he had never seen an ab attack quite like Logan's.
Joey was wheezing and coughing as Patrick and Cody helped him to his feet. Patrick could see Joey was close to tears.
Joey had never been destroyed this bad in his young life. He knew it would be a couple of weeks before he was able to wrestle. Anyone he faced would go right for his abs. Joey knew when he returned he had to be ready to fight.
He would challenge Logan to a rematch. Next time he would beat the Ab Crusher at his own game.
