Marcus Vs Kyle...I jimsub81

Now that he and Damon were no longer a tag team Marcus knew he had to venture into the world of solo wrestling. At 154 lbs. he was technically a lightweight but felt he could match up well against any middleweight out there. He had seen the way Kyle had beaten Nate. He didn't much care for the way Kyle played to the audience posing for the girls and all. Maybe Marcus was jealous because he was not the babe magnet that Damon was. DAMON!! he thought? He meant Kyle. Yes, Kyle reminded Marcus of his ex-partner in many ways. Marcus was trying to sort through the conflicting feeling he had for Damon. He hated him for turning on him in their match against Brett & Tyson but Damon's downfall was far worse than anyone ever thought it would be. Damon had ended up losing his last match to Alex...A Lightweight jobber! Marcus had actually felt sorry for Damon as he made that walk down the aisle after that humiliating defeat. He knew Damon better than anyone did. And even though he had turned on him Marcus was over his anger and knew deep down that Damon was not a bad guy. But back to the matter at hand. He knew Kyle was a good wrestler and at 155 pounds he was almost identical in weight. It would be an even match. Marcus approached Kyle. Kyle was eager to keep his stock rising and knew that a win over the popular, and talented, Marcus would do just that. The papers were signed that night for the next card.

As the crowd was simmering down over the loss of Dane and Cody to Trace and Kale Cody and Dane walked past Marcus. Marcus told his friends how sorry he was to see them lose. Cody just pushed past without saying a word. Dane, though exhausted, still managed to say, "Thanks man", and wished Marcus luck with a hearty pat on the back. The announcer began their intros. "And now our next event. Standing 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing in at 154 pounds...MARCUS!" He entered to a hearty round of applause. All the fans knew of his partner's betrayal and he had found his way into the hearts of most of them. The kid had been through a lot and he had proven his ability to take a ton of physical abuse which only endeared him further to them. "And his opponent, standing 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing in at 155 pounds...KYLE!" He entered to a nice round of applause too. He was a proven winner and the squeals of the young ladies and girls only added to the reception for the young, blonde lady killer. They faced off for instructions and were almost identical in size. Marcus was just a bit shorter so appeared to be a little more stout. His chest was broader and had larger shoulders. Kyle had slightly better muscle tone. The bell sounded and the match was on...

The boys circled quickly and hooked up. Neither gained a fast advantage and they mutually broke the hold. Marcus lunged with a forearm that Kyle sidestepped. He nailed Marcus with a chop to the back of the neck as he passed dropping the boy to his knees. Kyle pounced like a kitten on a ball of yarn and grabbed Marcus around the waist. He hauled him up in a belly to back suplex slamming him face first to the mats. . Not wanting to let up he dropped a knee to the small of the back. Marcus grunted and Kyle shoved his face back down to the mats as he got up. Kyle bounced off the ropes and dropped a big leg across the back of his head slamming Marcus's face a second time.

As Kyle stood over the downed kid he posed for a few quick ones for the girls before he went to pull him up by the ears. But Marcus had other ideas. He reached out and grabbed Kyle's ankles giving them a hard yank and tripped the cute 15 year old. Kyle was surprised but recovered fast so when Marcus moved to drop an elbow on him Kyle arched a knee catching the falling Marcus in the ribs. Kyle rolled away fast and pounced again on Marcus as he knelt holding his chest. Kyle slammed a kick into the other side of the chest flattening Marcus. He followed up fast with an elbow drop of his own. Kyle's however connected and hit Marcus in the lower stomach. This time Kyle approached from behind as he pulled Marcus up. Marcus turned to fend him off but Kyle slammed a forearm to his chest knocking him down again.

Another knee to the belly and Kyle had Marcus right where he wanted him. He was actually a bit surprised that he had manhandled Marcus so easily. Kyle hurled Marcus to the ropes and caught him in a power slam on the rebound. Marcus landed with a crash with Kyle on top of him. Kyle rolled Marcus into a ball and went for the pin. amazingly, the referee only got to a 1 and a half count before Marcus powered out with a strong kick. Kyle was incredulous and shot a hard punch to the stomach of Marcus as he got up to pull Marcus up again. He went to whip Marcus into the corner but Marcus reversed the move and Kyle slammed the turnbuckles chest first. Marcus rushed and Kyle ducked away and Marcus had his turn at smashing the turnbuckles.

Kyle came in behind Marcus delivering a hard punch to the kidney. Marcus grunted at the sharp pain and Kyle pulled an arm behind him and slammed him into the corner before whipping him to the opposite corner. Marcus hit that corner pad chest first and he slowly slumped to his knees. Kyle was on him fast digging his fingers into the sides of the neck of Marcus. Marcus cringed in pain and fell forward. Kyle didn't let up until the referee decided that this was a choke hold and made Kyle break off. But Marcus was now at his mercy as Kyle dropped a knee to the back again. He judo chopped the back of Marcus's neck and fired another hard kidney punch before pulling him up again from behind. Kyle then drove Marcus face first to the turnbuckle. He spun him around and pulled Marcus into a big knee lift to the belly. Marcus was winded as Kyle drove his knee into the gut three more times. Kyle sensed Marcus was ready for the finisher and pulled him into a back suplex. Marcus crashed hard to the center of the ring. Kyle punched him in the stomach just for good measure and climbed the ropes to the top in the nearest corner. But as Kyle turned around he was stunned to see Marcus behind and under him. He was helpless as Marcus grabbed him by the legs and crotch whipping him backward. Kyle landed on his back hard from the top rope. He was momentarily stunned and that was all Marcus required. He quickly laid across Kyle's heaving and well developed chest hooking the teen's leg as he did. The referee counted to three and the bell rang as Marcus had the win. The crowd was cheering (although a few of the teen girls were very disheartened) as Marcus had taken a severe beating and still prevailed. Kyle was furious and stormed out of the ring. He felt he deserved the win after manhandling Marcus so easily. The audience was still cheering for the tough teen as he left the ring. Half way down the aisle he ran face to face with Vinny.

Vinny had seen how fellow Posse members Philip and Martin had taken on tough opponents to prove the mettle of their little stable of wrestlers and decided it was time for him to do his part. He got right up in Marcus's face and towered over him. Vinny challenged Marcus to a match and just to anger him he squeezed Marcus's face with a strong hand. Marcus slapped the muscleteen's hand away and gave a hard shove into the boy's bulging pectorals. He accepted on the spot and the papers were signed. The match would be inserted as quickly as possible into an upcoming card.
