Drew Vs Rich...I jimsub81

Following Corwin's announcement that he was quitting Drew tried in vain to get a hold of him but Corwin didn't return any of Drew's calls. Drew wondered if something was seriously wrong with his friend. He would make it a point to talk to him tomorrow. But right now he had t big hill to climb. Rich (of the tag team Keith and Rich) had challenged him to a one on one match. He was so angry at the comments they made to him in the locker room following his and Corwin's loss to Dane and Cody that he wanted nothing more than to put the smart mouthed Rich in his place. As the crowd simmered down after the Damon Vs Marcus match the announcer began the intros.

"Our next event is a special match. Each wrestler is making his debut appearance as a a solo wrestler. First, standing 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighing in at 191 pounds ...RICH!" Rich entered acting as if he were God's gift to the world. His tag team partner Keith followed closely behind pointing to his buddy like he was the new heavyweight champ. The crowd loved to hate these to arrogant teens and showed it with their boos. Rich entered alone and the ref warned Keith not to interfere. "And, his opponent standing 6 feet tall and weighing in at 165 pounds...DREW!" Almost everyone loved Corwin and Drew as a tag team so it was natural to like Drew as a solo wrestler. Drew sprinted to the ring and leapt over the top ropes. He did it with his usual grace but somehow everyone watching didn't think it looked "right" without Corwin. As they squared off the size difference was noticeable. Rich was deceptively large. He was not a muscled boy but he was fit and approached 200 pounds. Drew was lean and toned but no muscle builder either. Drew had never been so angry at anyone and was totally pumped to take out the cocky teen. Rich had had it in for both Drew and Corwin since they beat him and Keith in a match as few weeks ago. The bell sounded ...

Just like he had done against Dane Drew came out fast and furious. He threw an elbow to Rich's chest and then a fast kick to the big boy's gut doubling him over. Rich was shocked at the speed of Drew's attack and Drew didn't let up. He pulled Rich's arm out in front of him twisting it hard. Rich yelped in pain. Drew was still fuming at Rich and continued his attack.

Holding Rich's arm out in front of him he swung a series of kicks up into Rich's chest. Rich yelled in pain but still showed a lot of fight in him. Drew quickly locked in a side head lock and squeezed. Rich's face turned red. Drew then guided his captive's head toward the corner slamming it hard into the turnbuckle. Rich slumped and Drew hauled him up by the neck and proceeded to drive the bigger boy's face into the corner pad five times. Rich was seeing stars but Drew was far from finished. He turned Rich around shooting a quick gut punch then climbed up to the second rope and proceeded to slam a total of ten hard rights to Rich's head. The crowd counted all the way. After the punching Drew hopped down and lifted the dazed teen into a suplex. Rich landed like a ton and was soon helped up by his ears. Drew then tossed Rich to the ropes and he went right through them.

Sitting against the ring dazed and hurting Rich was aided by Keith. Drew reached down to grab Rich's hair to pull him in again. Keith got up on the apron and immediately knew that was a mistake. Drew had a rage driven look in his eyes and Keith tried to hop down from the apron only to be caught by the neck. Drew pulled him through the ropes and whipped him to the ropes on the other side. A round house kick sent Keith's legs flying out from under him as he rebounded. Keith slammed down hard on his back and rolled out of the ring. Rich was now on the apron getting back in. Drew grabbed his hair and helped the process. Drew then slammed a forearm block to the chest and another to the head. He then did a perfect crotch slam and came down hard with an elbow to the chest. He was up fast and came down with a knee drop to the stomach. Drew was making good on his promise to "kick Rich's ass". The match had been going on for some time now and Rich (or Keith) had yet to deliver a bit of offense.

Drew had deposited Rich in the perfect position to end the bout with his (and Corwin's) classic flying elbow off the top ropes. He climbed to the top of the corner and just as he was about to leap Keith grabbed his leg tripping him. Drew fell to the mats slamming into them chest first. He was devastated in one_second. Drew was barely moving as Rich came back to his senses. He had more than his share of pride and Drew had just damaged it severely. Rich jumped out of the ring and pulled Drew half way over the apron his waist bent over the edge of the ring. Rich sat on the top rope above him and jumped down squashing Drew's belly over the edge of the ring itself.

Rich pulled Drew back in and went for a half assed cover. Drew, even though pained, managed to lift a shoulder. Rich then surprised everyone by asking Keith to come into the ring. As soon as both of them grabbed one of Drew's arms the referee called the DQ and the bell was sounded. Rich was a tag team wrestler and really didn't care about the DQ loss and was more focused on beating up Drew. They each tossed Drew to the ropes and both landed a knee lift to the gut as he came back. Drew was down but his punishment was far from over. He was lifted into a double suplex and dropped hard. Rich showed his strength at last and lifted Drew as if he were a baby and brought his back down over his knee in a back breaker. With his body stretched out Keith began slamming double ax handles into the taunt abs.

The crowd was booing like crazy at the antics of Rich and Keith. Dane ,Cody and Marcus were just getting back into the arena from washing up a bit when they saw the double teaming. Dane looked at Cody and said, "You ready to play Calvary again?" "You bet bud..lead the way."

By now Rich and Keith had Drew tied up in the ropes and were both going to town with stomps, kicks, and punches to his wide open chest and belly. Drew was just hanging there a beaten wreck. As the two heavyweights and Marcus made their way to the ring the crowd was thrilled to see them to the rescue once again. As they were half way to the ring the crowd got even louder with their cheers. Before the rescuers reached the ring they were passed by another wrestler. He blew past them and by his leap over the ropes there was now doubt as to who it was to Drew's rescue. As Keith turned to see what the commotion was he was greeted by a flying drop kick from over the ropes from none other than Corwin. The impact slammed Keith so hard that he was driven over the top ropes on the fly. Rich turned to face Corwin but Corwin so fast with his punches that Rich didn't stand a chance. Corwin slammed Rich to the head then to the gut. Again and again he repeated these blows till Rich was a crumbled heap. He let off of Rich to release Drew from his rope tie.

Drew slumped to his side. Keith had got back into the ring to assist Rich. This would be the second time he would make that mistake tonight. Corwin leveled him with a clothesline, dropped an elbow to his stomach then stomped his crotch. Keith howled in pain and grabbed his groin. Corwin was furious at what these two jerks had done to Drew. But even more than that he was mad at himself for not being there to have his friend's back, and he took that anger out on Keith and Rich.

Corwin turned back to Rich and pulled him up raising a strong knee to his gut. Rich gasped and Corwin slammed him in the chest with a forearm. He pulled him to his feet and prepared to throw him to the ropes.

Marcus asked Dane, "Do you think he needs help?" No sooner were the words out of his mouth than the body of Rich was deposited at their feet. "Aaaahh..No", said Dane.

Corwin turned back to Keith and picked him up in a crotch slam. Then, showing some unknown strength, he pressed the lighter teen over his head. The crowd was gong crazy. Corwin said down to the unneeded rescuers, "Watch out guys, throwin out some trash here." He then tossed Keith on top of the groggy Rich. Dane and Marcus just dodged him in time. Cody had gone over to see if Drew was OK. Drew was recovering. He was sore but not seriously hurt. The crowd cheered as Corwin came over to a sitting Drew and stuck out his hand. Drew took it as he was helped to his feet. The two hugged each other and Corwin said, "Man, look at the trouble you get into without me!" "Good to see you bud", said Drew. "I'll always have your back Drew...always" "Right back at you Cor". The crowd was still cheering them and Cody finally said, "OK I hate to break up this little love fest but I think there's another match about to start." The five of them were leaving the arena to loud applause. Corwin said to Cody and Dane, "Sorry I acted like a jerk after our title fight. But there is one thing I eerr 'we' do want" "What's that?", asked Dane. "A REMATCH!", said Corwin and Drew in unison. All the boys laughed and went off to Cody's house to celebrate his win as the first TW heavyweight champion with a few of their other friends.
