Practice Session: Part 1 punk_wrestler2000

**Damon asks Dane for help with his wrestling skills.***

The Sunday after Cody's suspension Dane thought about calling his best friend, but Cody's comments after his defeat of Kale were still mystifying him. Dane tried to shrug them off, but Cody had been his best friend for years.

Dane pushed them thoughts to the back of his mind. Daryl and Joey were coming over today for some rough house practice. Dane had been meaning to invite Cody, but it had just slipped his mind. So the practice session would be one on one with the third guy sitting out.

Dane heard the doorbell and assumed it was his two friends. He was surprised when he opened the door to see Damon standing there.

Dane's first instinct was to deck the turncoat punk, but he held back. He recalled all to vividly the look on Damon's face after, he had been squashed by Marcus, then defeated by Alex.

"What do you want, Damon?" Dane asked gruffly.

Damon looked at his one time friend. He knew he had screwed up. "I need to talk." Damon said quietly but looking the heavy weight wrestler in the eyes.

Dane placed his hands on hips. "So, start talking. Make it quick. Daryl and Joey are on their way over."

Damon swallowed hard. He wanted to set things right before those two showed up. He had no desire to get triple teamed by three tough guys.

"I screwed up. I'm sorry. I was influenced by the wrong people. I never should have let Marcus down or you." Damon almost choked the words out. "I'm sorry. How bout another chance?"

Dane looked hard at the young wrestler. He had always liked Damon. "All right. I'll give you a chance. But promise me you will set things right with Marcus. You guys are a good tough team."

Damon promised than asked the big question, "Dane, I need some instruction to become a better wrestler. Will you help me?"

Before Dane could answer Daryl and Joey pulled in the driveway. Daryl was surprised to see Damon there. Joey just wanted to kick Damon's ass for what he had done to Marcus.

Dane quickly explained why Damon was there. He knew Daryl had also taken a walk on the darkside of TW.

Daryl placed a hand on Damon's shoulder. "Welcome back."

Damon nodded a silent thank you.

"Damon wants some help with his wrestling ability. Game to include him in our work out session?"

Joey smiled, "I'm game to take him on. What do you say, Damon. Up to a little backyard match. No ring, no ref, NHB?"

Damon gave Joey's hard body the once over. He thought he could give him a good match. "Sure. Let's get it on."

Joey looked at Dane and Daryl and grinned. The four teens head to Dane's backyard.

Damon glanced at Joey. The kid looked rugged. He was Damon's height but he was solidly built. Joey had big biceps for a 15 year old and rock hard abs. Damon wondered if this was a good idea, but he needed to learn.

They entered Dane's backyard. There was enough room for two or three matched to go on at the same time.

Joey stripped down to his gym shorts. As he pulled off his shirt, Damon was impressed by Joey's physique. The kid had a damn good build.

**Daryl and Joey join the practice session**

Damon was no slouch in the build department. He was solid, but he had the rep of a pretty boy. Damon lacked some good wrestling skills. He had always depended on Marcus.

Now he had to go it solo, because he had screwed up. Damon really missed his friend.

Damon stripped off his shirt and prepared to lock up with Joey.

"You said NHB, does that mean you are going to be really rough, or are we going by TW rules?" Damon asked not wanting to get his ass kicked.

Joey grinned, "This is backyard wrestling, BOY. We go all out. It toughens us up for the matches in TW. When we practice, we practice hard."

Damon glanced at Dane and Daryl. Daryl spoke up, "Damon, you have to toughen up. We will not whip you to badly, but we will make sure you can handle yourself."

Damon nodded. He had asked for help, now he had to be a man and accept it. He knew Dane would not allow him to be injured.Daryl stood in Joey's corner, Dane in Damon's. It wasn't really a corner, but the corner of the backyard.

The two younger teens approached each other and locked up collar and elbow. Joey lifted a quick hard knee to Damon's stomach.

Damon grunted but took the blow and maintained his collar and elbow lock up. Joey slammed another knee into Damon's ripped stomach. Damon grunted louder and stepped back. Joey slugged him hard with a closed fist.

Joey grabbed Damon's head and snap mared him to the grass. Damon arched up and took a hard foot to the belly.

Joey danced back and gave Damon a chance to get back to his feet.

Dane moved to Damon's side. He explained a few moves that might work well against the muscular teen.

Daryl was rubbing Joey's shoulders.

The two teens circled again.

Joey raised his hands for a contest of strength. Damon nodded and stepped forward. As their hands locked, Damon drove the point of his boot into Joey's ripped torso. Joey doubled slightly. Damon hooked his arms and powered him to the ground, hard.

Joey was surprised Damon had countered that well. Damon moved quickly and dropped down on Joey's ripped torso with both knees.

Joey grunted as Damon took the upper hand. Being NHB and practice, Damon decided to have some fun.

Damon turned and scissored Joey's chest. Damon started lying in gutpunches hard and fast.

Joey could not flex his abs because he could not see the punches coming. He tried to arch up but Damon increased his scissor hold around Joey's chest.

Dane was surprised to see Damon get that rough, but he knew Joey could handle it. The kid was tough as nails.

Joey was grunting as he tried to fend off Damon's tough attack.

Joey moved quickly and locked his powerful arms around Damon's head in a sleeper. He squeezed mightily cutting off Damon's air supply. He felt Damon's ab punches slack off and the leg scissors loosen.

Damon was struggling trying to pry Joey's arms apart. Joey had his grip cinched in tight. Damon could feel himself getting fuzzy.

The more Damon's leg lock loosened the hard Joey bore down on his sleeper.

Joey finally flipped Damon off as his leg lock broke. Joey released his sleeper and powered a hard right hand to Damon's belly.

Dane was impressed. Damon had the ability, he just needed some polishing to make his moves better.

Joey got to his feet and waited again for Damon to stand.

The two teens circled again. Joey charged Damon and took him to the grass with an arm drag take down. Joey planted his sneakered foot into the pit of Damon's stomach. Damon whished out his air as he felt Joey's foot impact.

Joey kept hold of Damon's arm and locked it in a standing arm bar. He twisted hard. Damon grunted. As he did Joey planted another foot to his lower belly.

Dane and Daryl watched the two teens getting tougher as the match progressed. Dane was impressed Damon was not whining or giving up. He was taking the punishment.

Suddenly Joey lifted Damon back to his feet and backed him over to Daryl. Daryl hooked Damon's arm and held him wide-open. Joey stood back and teed off on Damon's stomach. Joey shot punches in like he was working a heavy bag.

Again Damon did not protest. He took the hard punches, but could feel them taking their toll on his stomach muscles.

Joey drove a solid knee lift to Damon's gut. Daryl let Damon go and he sunk to his knees.

Double teaming had not been a part of this agreement, but Damon knew it happened form time to time in singles matches.

Joey drug Damon to his feet, then lifted in the air and slammed him to the grass. Joey dropped the point of his elbow to Damon's now red abdominals.

Joey stood and went for a second elbow drop, but Damon rolled out of the way. Joey hit the ground hard.

Damon took a second to recover then drug Joey to his feet and shoved him back into Dane's waiting arms.

Joey felt the powerful Dane lock him in a full nelson. He had been in this position before during backyard matches with Dane and Daryl. Joey watched as Damon approached. Damon smiled slightly as he prepared to return some of the abuse he had just taken.

Damon took his time and planted one fist after another to Joey's rock hard stomach.

Joey's powerful ab muscles took the hard punches. Damon was impressed. He was no lightweight when it came to slugging someone.

Dane knew Damon could not break down Joey's muscular abs. Joey could take power punches from him and Daryl during practice.

Dane finally let Joey go. Joey turned and slammed Dane with a hard fist to the ribs.

As Dane doubled, Joey looked at Damon and grinned.

They each grabbed one of Dane's arm and gave him a double knee lift. Joey and Damon then lifted Dane and gutbusted him over their knees.

Dane was shocked that he was now the one getting double teamed.

Daryl decided to move in and help Dane. Joey turned to see aryl coming. He charged the muscular black teen, dropping to the ground and sweeping his legs. As Daryl went down, Damon dropped an elbow to his back.
Dane was back on his feet. He grabbed Damon and lifted him form Daryl. Dane slammed Damon over his extended knee. As Damon rolled to the ground Dane locked the muscleboy in a full nelson. Daryl had recovered and now held Joey in a full nelson.

Daryl let Joey go and moved towards Damon. Damon knew what was coming and flexed his ab muscles. Daryl shot two hard fists to his stomach. Damon grunted loudly as he felt Daryl's powerful punches sink in. Dane let Damon fall to his knees.

Dane moved towards Joey. Joey was ready and shot a standing drop kick at Dane. Joey caught Dane solidly in the chest. Dane backpedaled and tripped over Damon. Damon shot a hard closed fist to Dane's sternum.

Daryl moved in on Damon, kicking him hard in the stomach. Damon dropped to his knees clutching his stomach. Joey moved quickly attacking Damon. He rolled the muscleboy into a cradle and pinned his shoulders to the grass. As he held him, Joey locked on an ab claw.

Damon quickly submitted.

All four teens stood to their feet. Dane grinned as he looked at Damon, "Not bad. At least you don't whine when you get hammered on. That's a start. You stick with us and we will whip you into shape."

Daryl and Joey moved over and shook hands with Damon. Damon felt better knowing he had some backing. Now he needed to try and set things right with Marcus.

They headed into Dane's house to get something to drink. After that they would get back to some hard practicing. Damon was sore, but ready to continue learning from these three tough guys. He would take whatever came his way.

Three hours later as their practice session had ended, Damon walked home. He was sore, but he was happy. He knew he could make his way as a solo wrestler. Dane had invited him back tomorrow for another hard afternoon of wrestling.
