HB & Kane Vs Trace & Kale...I jimsub81

After their win over the Alex and Troy. HB & Kane thought they were well on their way to the top of the heap in the tag team division. But they over heard a few of the other wrestlers talking about them. Willy pointed out that they had beat two teams that were not yet proven themselves and that HB & Kane would have to beat a better, more accomplished team to get real credibility. HB & Kane were a bit angry but realized that if someone like Willy felt that way then others, including the league managers, might feel the same. When they turned the corner the saw the huge team of Trace & Kale finishing their workout. HB & Kane conferred briefly and went over to the muscle laden teens. The challenge was made and very quickly accepted. Trace and Kale needed to get back into the spotlight and saw the opportunity to do that in beating the newest hated team in the league. Each team left the meeting with a good feeling...a feeling that they were going to get a win.

As the battle of Willy and Chaz was cleared away the ring announcer began, "And now our next match is a tag team event. First at a combined weight of 475 pounds...TRACE AND KALE!" The crowd greeted them with wild cheers and applause. These two were not accustomed to a friendly greeting and were a bit taken back. The two powerful muscleboys got into the ring and loosened up as the announcer continued, "And, their opponents, at a combined weight of 335 pounds...HB & KANE!" Perhaps only Kevin at his worst received more boos and disapproval from the fans. These two boys walked to the ring as paper wads and styrofoam cups were tossed at them. They really were disliked for their antics and attitudes toward both opponents and fans.

They faced off against each other to receive instructions and get checked. Just looking at the teams it appeared to be a huge mismatch as Trace and Kane were much larger and had such more muscular bodies. HB & Kane were giving up 145 pounds to the muscleteens. Trace and Kale were also 17 & 18 years old as compared to HB at 15 and Kane at 16. Trace and Kale knew the boys were going to put up a fight but thought they would overpower the smaller guys in short order. HB & Kane knew they had taken somewhat of a chance challenging these two monsters but they had formulated a plan. As the bell rang they were about to put it to the test.

Kane started against Trace. Kane put up his hands for a strength test. Trace smiled and accepted. Before they locked hands though Kane sent a wicked kick to the big boy's crotch. Trace was totally winded and sank to his knees in pain Kane slammed a knee to the side of his head and pulled him to his corner where he tagged in HB. For the few moments of allowable double teaming HB and Kane launched into a furious series of kicks and stomps to the downed teen. Each then grabbed an arm and whipped him to the ropes. As he rebounded they each drove a knee to his strong gut. Trace fell forward and Kane got out. HB then locked in a camel clutch. Trace grunted but his well toned body showed no sign of giving in. HB Tagged Kane. Kane entered from the top ropes landing a knee to the small of Trace's back. He cinched in a Boston crab and Kane got out but not before slamming Trace's face to the canvas.

The deceivingly strong black teen pulled the big guy's legs harder than most would have expected. He leaned back and Trace was feeling it. There was nothing Kale could do as HB & Kane had cut his partner off from him. Kane then tagged in HB. He entered from the top rope too slamming a leg drop to the back of Trace's head forcing his face to the mats again. HB Then locked in his camel clutch again. Kane exited after a quick and hard kidney punch.

Trace was strong but he was really feeling it as these two tough and smart teens took it to him hard. HB pulled Trace's head back and got more bend than he did the first time. He tagged in Kane. Once again Kane entered from the top rope slamming his knee to the now sore lower back of the muscle boy. HB got out again stomping the back of the head when Kane got his Boston crab hooked in again. Trace was pounding the mats in pain. The referee asked if he wanted to submit but he yelled, "NO!"

At last Kale could take no more and he came in the ring to assist his partner. Kane had just tagged in HB again and as HB entered from the top of the turnbuckle he redirected his feet to plow into Kale's strong chest sending him staggering backward. As the referee was ushering Kale from the ring HB & Kane seized the opportunity for some double teaming. With Kane still putting pressure into his Boston crab HB wrapped his forearm under Trace's throat and applied a severe choke hold. Trace was gasping and his face reddened. The ref finally turned and started to count Kane, who left after yet another kidney punch. HB was back on top of Trace with his camel clutch. He gave another hard yank and Trace groaned. HB then tagged Kane again who once again slammed a knee to the lower back from the top rope. He cinched in his Boston crab and he felt Trace's strength waning. Kane pulled hard and tagged HB back in. HB almost gleefully accepted as he realized their plan was working better than expected. Trace had been quickly and completely cut off from his partner and there would be no break for the muscular boy. HB entered once again by landing a leg across the back of Trace's head.

Trace was perhaps one of the top five strongest boys in TW, but not even he could take the nonstop punishment being dished out to him. His body was going limp....and HB could feel it. He pulled back further and Trace screamed but still would not yield. HB tagged Kane. Again a knee from the top rope slammed the lower back of Trace. Now each boy took one of Trace's arms and whipped him to the ropes. They caught him in a double back suplex and he crashed down to the mats like a mighty oak tree after a few minutes with a lumberjack and a chain saw. Both HB & Kane dropped an elbow. HB hit the lower gut just above the waist band and Kane's drove into the diaphragm forcing all the wind from the beaten Trace. HB exited the ring and Kane sat on Trace's gut grabbed both his legs and leaned back putting his back to Trace's chest while pulling Trace's legs back. The referee counted to three and the bell rang.

All watching were sitting in almost silent amazement. This team of HB & Kane had just beaten the biggest and maybe the toughest tag team in the league. As they had their hands held up as the victors they caught the eyes of several other tag teams. Tyson and Brett had watched from one side of the ring while Cody & Dane ,sitting with Corwin and Drew, on the other side were just as amazed as the rest of the audience. As HB & Kane left the ring they locked eyes with Cody and Dane and gave the big muscleteens the "thumbs down" signal. They turned and walked away. There would no longer be gossip that HB & Kane were not "for real". Anyone who was still unsure could just ask Trace & Kale
