Dane Vs Cody: Grudge Match: I punkwrestler2000

Sunday morning after losing the TW tag team titles, Dane was still hurting from his two on one beating. He was also still angry with his former best friend and tag partner. He did not understand what had gotten into Cody, until he had seen him standing with Kevin, lance and Rusty. Then Dane knew Cody had aligned himself with the Posse.

Dane got up and showered then headed to Cody's house. They had to settle this once and for all. Dane knew the time for talking was over. He was ready to face Cody in a down and out fight. Dane had no doubt he could whip Cody's muscle-bound ass. Cody had bigger arms, but Dane was the better-built and stronger teen.

Dane walked up the steps to Cody's front door. Cody saw him coming and stepped out onto the porch. Cody eyed Dane coldly. He knew why Dane was here.

"Got a problem, wuss?" Cody said as he kept eye contact with the taller teen. Cody's fists were balled up and ready to start swinging.

"Yeah, asshole. I do. What in the hell is wrong with you? You walked out on me. We could have taken those guys." Dane said as the anger rose in his voice.

"Yeah we could have. But to be honest I had a better offer. My new friends told me I would do much better as a solo wrestler and to drop the dead weight, I was carrying."Dane's face flashed red; he reached up and grabbed Cody by the throat. "Solo wrestler, you're nothing. I can whip you any time I choose."

Cody pulled Dane's hand free, "Prove it. Let's go. Right here, right now." Cody said as he raised his hands to fight.

"You got it, boy." Dane said as he stepped down from the porch. Cody and Dane made their way to Cody's backyard, then to the garage. Cody had his workout room in the garage. His heavy bag, his weights and a regulation size wrestling ring. He and Dane had practiced here many times.

Cody stepped through the ropes. He turned to face Dane. Cody flexed his big solid 18" biceps. "You know I can whip you any day of the week. Are you sure want to challenge me?"

Dane sneered. "Man, Cody you've changed. You have never whipped me and you never will."

Cody shook his head. 'Come Dane, let's get it on." Cody was more then ready to kick Dane's ass and prove once and for all who the tougher guy was.

Dane pulled off his shirt. His body was still bruised from the beating he had taken at the hands of HB and Kane. Cody grinned as he noticed the bruises. He knew exactly what areas to target.

The two powerhouse teens and former partners circled. Both knew this would be anything but straight wrestling. This was going to be a fight.

Cody brought his fists up and assumed a boxer's stance. Dane stepped back and raised his hands. He knew he could not out box Cody. Cody was and had been for years an avid boxer.

Cody moved forward and feigned with a left hook. Dane blocked and Cody drove a straight right to his jaw. Dane's head snapped back and Cody shot a hard combination to his chest and stomach. Dane's powerful torso absorbed the blows.

Cody danced back out of Dane's reach.

Dane lunged with a straight left. Cody sidestepped and brought a left of his own into Dane's sternum. Dane backpedaled. Cody moved like a cat. He fired three consecutive punches to Dane's body. Dane started to double. Cody drove a hard uppercut to his head. Dane sagged back against the ropes.

Dane shook his head. He knew if they continued to box, Cody would kick his ass.

Cody grinned as his muscle-bound friend sagged against the ropes. Cody moved back in. Dane watched and waited then launched a hard kick to Cody's groin.

Cody had anticipated that move and turned, so the kick only grazed his privates. Cody slammed Dane with a hard combination to the head. Dane staggered into the corner.

Cody could not help but grin as Dane leaned in the corner trying to catch his breath. "Come on tough guy, fight me." Cody said as he stepped forward and started landing power punched to Dane's ripped torso.

Dane felt the hard punched tearing into his bruised body. The more Cody pounded on him the madder he was getting. Cody finally stepped back and drove a knee to Dane's balls.

Dane clutched his groin and dropped to his knees.

Cody stepped behind Dane and locked the taller teen in a full nelson. He lifted Dane from the mat and wrestled his chin to his chest. Dane struggled to break the hold but he was winded from Cody's body shots.

Cody set Dane back down on the mat. He kicked Dane's legs out from under him. Cody locked his powerful legs around Dane's stomach in a vise like scissors hold. Dane grunted loudly as Cody compressed his abdominal muscles.

Cody held Dane compliant in his full nelson / Scissors hold. Cody powered down on both holds. "Come on, WIMP, give up." Cody said as he squeezed the breath out of Dane with authority.

Dane could not believe Cody was kicking his ass.

Dane was gasping for breath. Cody knew he had him beat. He released the full nelson and locked in a sleeper hold. Dane felt the big 18" biceps closing around his throat. Dane struggled valiantly, but to no avail. He was going out.

In a desperation move Dane slammed his elbows into Cody' stomach. Cody grunted but bore down even harder on his sleeper. Dane slammed his elbows into Cody's stomach again. Cody gasped and his sleeper loosened a little. Dane gulped down some air, then powered another hard elbow to Cody's stomach.

Cody powered his legs tightly against Dane's ribs. Dane grunted, but would not submit.

Dane rolled Cody to his side. He locked his powerful legs around Cody's stomach and squeezed. He then locked on a sleeper hold. Cody struggled at first, but his struggles were weak and soon faded all together as he went out in Dane's powerful biceps.

Even after it was apparent Cody was out, Dane did not release the holds. Dane held Cody compliant for a good five minutes after he had ceased to struggle.

Dane finally laid Cody down on the mat and went and stood in the corner. He would wait till Cody woke up. He still had a few things to say to him.

Twenty minutes later Cody came to. Dane helped him to his feet and walked him to the corner. "I whipped your ass. Now I want a title shot." Dane said as he held Cody in the corner and pulled his fist back.

Cody's eyes were wide. He could not believe Dane had bested him.

Cody knew he had to agree to the title shot or else, Dane would take him out again. "All right. I will give you a title match. But in two weeks." Cody said through gasping breaths.

Dane nodded, "Two weeks, fine." Dane then drove a hard closed fist to Cody's stomach. Cody gasped and sunk to his knees. "Next time think before you double cross a friend. Next time I will hurt you far worse." Dane turned and walked away. He did not look back.

Cody lie in the ring clutching his stomach. Yeah he would give Dane a title shot. No problem. But Dane had to survive two weeks. Cody had friends that would be quite happy to take Dane out of action for a while. He climbed to his feet and walked into the house. He had some calls to make.

If Dane wanted his title he would have to prove himself worthy. He would have to defeat Rusty and Lance in a handicapped match. Dane may have won the battle, but the war was yet to come.

Cody knew Dane could not handle Rusty and Lance at the same time.

Cody knew now aligning himself with Kevin was the best thing he had ever done. Kevin would make sure he remained Heavy weight Champ for a long time to come.
