Prelude to a Title: Cody Vs Roby Part 1 punk_wrestler2000

Cody arrived at the TW arena early the day of his match. He went immediately to the weight room and started working out. He wanted to be in peak physical condition for his match with Alexander.

Cody was more muscular than his opponent, but Cody knew that meant little in a nip and tuck battle with a title shot at stake. Both would have to be on top of their game plan if they planned on advancing and facing Pat.

Cody and Alexander had not faced off in the TW arena before, but they had faced off during the high school wrestling season. Both times they met, they had wrestled to a regulation draw. Both matches had gone to overtime.

Cody wanted a shot at Pat, badly.

Cody had not checked the match board when he arrived. He knew whom he was due to wrestle and had no doubt he could win.

What Cody didn't know was this morning Alexander had withdrew from the tournament. His parents were moving and he was now ineligible.

His new opponent for tonight's match was going to be Roby. Dane entered and broke the news to Cody. Cody looked somewhat surprised. Roby was another body builder wrestler who had incredible strength.

Cody was a little apprehensive about taking on the bigger boy, but knew he had the stamina for a long hard match. Cody knew Roby would not be easy to beat.

Roby had been thrilled when he had gotten the phone call. He knew he would be facing Cody and could not wait to climb in the ring with him.

Roby was confident that he could take the more muscular teen. But then again Cody had beaten Lucien he had not. So far Cody was the only heavy weight to beat Lucien fair and square. Gerrit had beaten Lucien, but only after the kid had been cremated by three lightweight wrestlers.

Roby knew Cody would be a tough opponent.

As Cody was finishing his workout Roby entered the training room. He and Cody shook hands. Neither teen had any animosity toward the other. The luck of the draw had paired them as opponents.

Both teens had incredibly, well-developed bodies. Both had ripped six-pack abdominals and both had powerfully muscular legs supporting their rugged torsos.

Cody could bench press 400 pounds, Roby was not far behind. He could bench press 375.

Both knew this would be a hard fought match. They stood in the weight room giving each other's bodies the once over. Roby knew pound for pound, Cody was the stronger of the two.

Roby as well as Cody had been a state heavy weight champ. Both teens knew their way around the ring, but Cody was probably a little more experienced.

They briefly discussed the match from the week before and decided that they would try and keep their bout strictly to wrestling. Both knew that would not happen.

Both knew when they faced Pat, that the strictly wrestling would go by the way side.

Among those in the audience for tonight's match were Pat, Lucien and Gerrit.

Pat wanted to check the styles and abilities of his next opponent. Gerrit was there to root his friend and tag team partner on to victory. Lucien was there to see who he would have to beat for the TW heavy weight title.

Both teens had butterflies as the ring announcer began his introductions.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, tonight we have our second preliminary bout on the road to crowning a Heavy Weight Champion."

Making his way down the aisle is a young man who needs no introduction to the ladies…"

Lucien eyes bore into the muscular teen making his way down the aisle. Lucien and Cody were no strangers to each other, in or out of the squared circle. Cody had whipped Lucien in a best two out of three, fall match earlier in the season.

It took a lot of restraint for Lucien to not jump the barrier and slam the Muscleboy to the hard floor.Gerrit leaned close to Pat, "Cody is the odds on favorite to win, but I think Roby will clean the muscleboy's clock."

Pat nodded agreement. He was hoping to face Cody, but he did not think Cody had a chance against the bigger and heavier teen. Pat turned to the teen he had whipped a week before. "I have to agree. I know Cody is strong, but Roby has the height and the leg strength."

Before he could even finish the whistles and catcalls started. The women loved Cody.

The announcer composed himself and continued, "First at 18 years of age, standing 6' tall and weighing 209 pounds is CODY."

The arena erupted with loud cheers for the favorite. It was clear Cody was a crowd pleaser at TW.

Cody entered the ring and posed for his adoring fans.

As Cody glanced around the ring he noticed the TW officials along with his good friend Dane. His eyes also caught Pat and a host of other wrestler sitting in the audience.

When the din quieted the announcer introduced the second combatant.

"His opponent for this second preliminary match is 17 years of age, stands 6'2 and weighs in at 224 pounds. Making his way down the aisle is Roby."

Roby also received a good loud ovation from the crowd. Roby stepped through the ropes and like Cody stood center ring and posed for the fans.

"Come Roby, I know you can whip him." Gerrit called out enthusiastically.

The referee called both powerfully built teens to the center of the ring. He did a quick weapons frisk and explained the rules. Both Roby and Cody shook hands and wished each other good luck.

The audience roared their approval at the show of sportsmanship.

Cody and Roby moved to their corners and waited for the bell to sound.

The two muscle-bound teens eyed each other cautiously. Both knew one mistake could give the other the upper hand quickly.

As the bell sounded the two he-men moved to the center of the ring. Roby raised his hands for a contest of strength.

Cody was giving up two inches in height but figured he compensated for that with muscle mass. He confidently locked his hands with Roby's.

Cody felt the bigger boy immediately use his size advantage. Roby powered hard against the muscle-bound weight lifter. Cody grunted as he tried to stave off Roby's incredible power.

Roby started to bring Cody to his knees. Cody struggled but he felt himself being powered down to the mat,

Cody could feel his biceps burning as he tried to stop the downward thrust being exuded by Roby's muscle power.

Cody started to power back up. Roby released his hands and drove a hard knee to Cody's gut. Cody staggered and Roby shoved him back into the corner.

Roby slammed a hard fist to Cody's sternum. Cody gasped and doubled. As he did Roby brought a knee lift to his head.

Cody's head snapped back and Roby plowed into his stomach with a big front kick. Pat and Gerrit were cheering madly as Roby took the fight to Cody.

Cody was sucking wind as he tried to stand and stop the onslaught.

Roby stepped back and powered a hard combination to Cody's lower gut. Cody gasped for breath and sunk to his knees.

Roby reached down and pulled Cody to his feet with a headlock. Roby, drug Cody to the center of the ring and powered down on his head and neck. Cody was struggling to get free from Roby's awesome power.

Cody gripped Roby's waist and flung him to the ropes. Roby recoiled and took Cody down with a hard shoulder block. Cody was flat on his back.

Roby did not hesitate. He stomped the down teen's abs. Cody rolled out of the ring to get away from the attack of his opponent.

Cody stood on the matted arena floor and tried to clear the cobwebs. Roby bolted over the top rope, landing a drop kick to Cody's chest.

Cody flailed into the steel guard post.

Gerrit and Pat were on their feet as Roby took the fight to Cody. They knew if Roby was to win he had to keep on the muscleboy.

His hit back first and dropped to his knees.

The referee began his count as the action moved outside the ring.

Roby moved over to the downed teen and delivered two hard gutblasts. Cody slumped forward, breathing hard. He knew he was going to get counted out.

Roby dove back in the ring, long enough to break the ref's count. He then went back outside to work Cody over some more. He wanted to be sure he would garner the victory with a submission hold. He knew he had his opponent weakened.

Cody was breathing hard as he struggled to his feet. He knew he was in trouble. Roby had taken the fight to him hard.

He saw the muscleboy approaching. Cody knew he had to mount some offense or he could kiss his title shot good-bye.

Cody took a deep breath and waited. As Roby got closer Cody launched a spinning back kick. His aim was accurate and he caught Roby square in the chest. Roby flailed backwards. Cody tackled him in a bearhug and slammed him to the ring apron back first.

He let the teen go and climbed into the ring.

The ref had reached a count of eight.Cody placed his hands on his knees and took a few seconds to recover as the ref continued to count Roby. Cody moved to the ropes and broke the ref's count. Roby reached through the ropes and grabbed Cody's leg, pulling the teen out of the ring.

Roby went to work on the muscleboy. He bulled Cody against the apron and started laying in hard punches to his torso. Cody sunk to his knees as Roby's onslaught took it toll and drove the wind from his lungs.

Cody started to slump forward. As he did, Roby dropped down and draped the muscleboy over his shoulder. Roby powered down in a brutal bearhug. Cody felt his abs being compressed over the powerhouse teen's broad shoulder.

Roby felt he-manly as he worked Cody over. He had not expected to dominate the muscular teen this easily.

Roby listened to the ref's count. When he reached eight, Roby slammed Cody down to the matted floor. He laid in a hard gut stomp and slipped back in the ring.

Cody lay on his back gasping for breath.

Cody crawled to all fours. He was mad. Roby watched him than leapt off the apron, powering a big elbow to Cody's back.

Cody let out a yell as he felt his back being hammered by the blow. He collapsed face down on the arena floor.

Roby bent down and lifted the winded teen to his feet. He then shoved the winded teen thorough the ropes and back into the ring. Roby did not want a count out, giving his beaten opponent a ten-minute recess. He wanted to end it now.

Roby once again lifted Cody from the mat. He pressed the teen over his head in a display of pure muscle power. He pressed the 209 pound teen like he was a sack of rags. Roby then dropped Cody over his out stretched knee, stomach first.

Cody rolled around the ring clutching his stomach. He had the presence of mind to roll under the bottom rope. He needed the ten-minute reprieve.

Roby moved to the ring apron, He looked down at his beaten opponent. He dove for Cody. Cody raised his leg and caught Roby in the chest. Roby collapsed to the floor breathing hard.

The Referee began his count. "One, two, three, four, five." Neither teen was moving. "Six, seven, eight, nine, ten."

The ref called for the bell. Both teens had been counted out.

The ring announcer took the mike, "Ladies and Gentlemen both young men will be given ten minutes to recover, then the match will continue."

Cody struggled to his feet. He made his way to his corner. He needed this break and planned on using the time to work out some strategy. Roby finally made his way to his corner.

"Five minutes remaining." The announcer said.

Cody felt like he had been through a war. He was sore and bruised. He had not expected Roby to take the fight to him.

Cody knew the time had come to go on the offensive. He knew, if he were to stand a chance he would have to fight and fight hard. Fighting fair and being the nice guy was no longer an option if he wanted a shot at the title match.

The bell sounded, signaling the restart of the match. This time Cody was ready.

Roby bolted out of his corner. He knew he had Cody whipped.

The two muscular teens circled. Both appeared apprehensive to lock up.

Roby noticed Cody looked ready to fight.

Cody made a come on motion to Roby. "Come on tough guy. Let's get it on."

Roby's face flushed red and he charged Cody. Cody sidestepped and drove a big knee to Roby's gut. Roby took the knee without so much as a grunt. He turned and fired a forearm to Cody's head.

Cody blocked and locked Roby's arm in a hammerlock. Cody poured on the pressure as he yanked up on Roby's arm and forced the teen to stand on his tiptoes.

Roby tried to throw an elbow to Cody's head, but Cody ducked out of the way. He snaked his foot between Roby's legs and drove the teen to the mat face first.

Cody released Roby's arm. He grabbed the teen's ankles and folded them back. He sat down on Roby's ankles. Cody then hooked his arms. Holding Roby's arms and legs locked Cody lifted the teen into a surfboard submission.

Roby struggled but Cody had him locked up. The ref asked Roby if he wanted to submit.

Roby yelled out an emphatic no.

Dane was on his feet, "That's it Cody, kick his ass." Dane yelled to his friend. "Work him over."

Cody continued to torture the muscle-bound teen. When Roby would not submit Cody raised the teen up and hurled him to the mat. Roby hit the mat hard, striking his tailbone.

Cody was on his feet. As Roby started to get up, Cody hooked his head and bulldogged the tough teen.

Cody quickly stood to his feet and dropped an elbow to Roby's back.

Roby grunted as he felt Cody's body weight strike his lower back.

Cody maneuvered around and locked Roby in a camel clutch. Cody powered back with all his might. "Submit boy, I have you beat." Cody said as he powered into his hold.

Roby forced himself to his knees in spite of Cody's brutally applied camel clutch.

As he did, Cody quickly locked his waist in a figure four scissors hold. Cody squeezed down on Roby's gut and rode him back down to the mat.

Roby felt Cody's powerful legs crushing the breath out of him.

Cody released Roby's head and locked on a sleeper hold. Cody's big biceps bore down on Roby's artery severely restricting his flow of air.In desperation Roby powered an elbow back towards Cody's head. Cody bobbed, Roby slammed his other elbow back. Roby was rewarded with the feeling of his elbow connecting with Cody's jaw.

The sleeper hold broke.

Roby sucked down wind then rolled to his side and pulled Cody's muscular legs apart. He knew he had Cody stunned and needed to take advantage of the shift in momentum.

"Come on Cody, get up." Dane yelled to his downed friend and tag team partner.

He was going for his patented leg drop across the throat. No one recovered from that maneuver.

Cody was just about out of it. He was struggling to draw a breath. His eyes glanced around the ring looking for his opponent.

He watched as Roby climbed to the top rope.

Roby took aim, then he caught Cody movement. He jumped down from the rope and moved over towards his opponent. He reached down and started to bring Cody to his feet.

As the ref knelt down to ask Roby if he wanted to submit, Cody started to drive hard punches to Roby's gut.

Roby felt his ribs being crushed and his abs being busted. He reached up and tried to lock on a sleeper hold. Cody applied more pressure to his ribs. Roby fell back to the mat breathing hard.

Cody's muscleboy fists were digging into Roby's abs, his muscleboy legs were crushing Roby's chest. Roby struggled, but he was slowly losing his will to fight back.

Cody knew he had his boy in a tough predicament. He continued to lay in the hard gutpunches and squeeze the muscleboy's chest. Roby was struggling to draw a breath.

Cody finally released his scissors hold and stopped his abs assault. He stood from Roby's chest and yanked the winded teen from his feet, Cody locked on an abdominal stretch.

Roby yelled out in pain as his battered and beaten ab muscles were contorted. He tried in vain to hook Cody's waist, but every time he made the attempt Cody powered an elbow into his gut.

Cody applied even more pressure. Roby let out another yell, but would not submit. Cody locked his stretched abs in an ab claw. Cody dug his fingers in deeply.

Roby was sweating and breathing hard as Cody worked his abs over.

The referee was right there asking Roby if he wanted to submit. Roby still refused to give up.

Cody lifted Roby from the mat and powered him gut first over his knee. Roby let out a gasp as he felt his wind completely driven from him.

Roby collapsed weakly in a heap on the mat.

Cody once again lifted Roby from the mat. He locked the teen in a well applied full nelson.

Cody, drug Roby back to his feet and released the full nelson. He whipped the teen into the corner and followed with a big elbow to Roby's chest.

As Roby started to double Cody bent down and racked the winded and battered tough guy.

Cody bounced up and down on his feet applying all the pressure he could to Roby's torso.

Roby tried to hang on, but the rack was more then he or his battered body could bear.

The audience could see Roby's face contort in pain as he tried to withstand Cody's awesome muscle power.

Cody's big powerful biceps bulged as he applied raw power to his potent hold.

Roby was sweating and breathing hard as he felt the will to resist drain from his tired and bruised body.

"I submit." He shouted out.

Cody immediately set the bigger teen down on the mat.

When Roby's legs refused to hold his body weight, Cody helped the beaten teen to his corner.

The referee raised Cody's hand in victory as the ring announcer proclaimed him the winner by submission.

"Next week we will crown a Heavy weight Champion. Next weeks match will be between Cody and Pat."

Pat stood and approached the ring apron. "Next week you will lose." He said as his eyes bore into Cody.

Cody smiled. He made a come on motion to Pat. "Let's get it on right now."

Gerrit held Pat back. He did not want to see Pat get disqualified before the match was even signed.

"Next week you muscle-bound jock, I will whip you."

Cody flexed his big biceps. "It will be fun to watch you try and beat me, boy."

Dane had moved into the ring to stand with Cody in case Gerrit and Pat decided to double team him.

When Dane moved to Cody's side, Gerrit and Pat headed over to Roby and assisted him out of the ring and back to the locker room.

Pat turned back to Cody, "We will settle this next week in the ring."

Cody just nodded. He knew the bout with Pat would be hard fought.

Dane and Cody climbed from the ring and headed to the locker room.
