#5 Family wrestling By G Glfm@aol.com The Family-wrestling League keeps growing. Dale and Vivian Nelson arrive at the Family Wrestling Arena and hurry in side. On they're way to their dressing room the promoter stops them and asks them to come to his office. He tells Dale that he has a major problem on tonight's card. Kenny Holbert the #1 contender is sick in bed with the flu and it will be several weeks before he can wrestle again. The promoter explains that the champion Tina Tinnari picked Dale to fill in for Kenny in the title match. At first Dale refuses, he tells the promoter that the title shot should go to his wife Vivian, as she is higher ranked the Dale. The promoter tells both Dale and Vivian that Tina refused to wrestle Vivian and insisted on Dale. After some discussion Vivian convinces Dale that this is to big a chance for him to pass up and Dale agrees to the title match. As this is going on Monica and Brad Nelson arrive and head toward their dressing room. Monica is the #6 contender and her younger brother Brad is the junior division champion. Both will wrestle on the card tonight. The junior division will start tonight's events and Brad hurries to get ready. Pulling off his jeans, sweat shirt and boxers he dresses for his match. Brad steps into and pulls up a tan thong. He laces on tan wrestling boots and wraps the junior division title belt around his waist. He slips on his brown bomber jacket and heads toward the ring. Brad's opponent tonight is Jeremy Allen he is 17yrs old and must move up to the senior division next month. Jeremy has a record of 17 wins 9 loses and 1 time limit draw. This is as close as he has ever gotten to the title and it is his last chance to win it before moving up. Jeremy is a little taller and a little heavier than Brad. He enters the ring wearing a shinny blue skintight singlet and blue boots. At ringside are his mother and father who are both wrestlers and his girlfriend. Both she and Jeremy are juniors in the same high school. With the introductions and instructions give both young wrestlers are ready for the bell. Brad and Jeremy move out of their corners and lock up. It is evident from the start that Jeremy is taller and heavier than Brad but it also becomes clear that he is also stronger. Jeremy is very up for this match and soon has the champion struggling. Brad is face down on the mat; Jeremy has his legs folded over at the knee and is pushing hard on Brad's boots. Brad twists and turns trying to get hold of Jeremy, but Jeremy stays just out of his reach. Spinning around Jeremy grabs Brad's right boot and traps the champion in a half crab. For the first seven minuets of the match Jeremy has punished the 15yr old champion. Brad has not been able to stop Jeremy's attacks or to mount an offence of his own. Several times Brad has nearly been pinned or trapped in some type of submission hold. Jeremy pulls the dazed champion to his feet. Twisting Brad's arm Jeremy whips him into the corner. Brad slams into the turnbuckle and hooks his arms over the top rope to keep from collapsing to the mat. Jeremy charges after Brad looking to drive a knee into his chest. At the last second Brad twists away from the on rushing Jeremy. The challenger crashes into the empty turnbuckle and crumples to the mat. Brad is quick to take advantage of Jeremy's mistake. Stomping on his downed opponent Brad's boot slams into Jeremy's knee, stomach and chest. Brad pulls Jeremy off the mat, reaching between his legs and hooking his head brad lifts and slams Jeremy. Twice more Jeremy is lifted off the mat only to be slammed back down. Flipping his opponent face down Brad stomps Jeremy's lower back. Jeremy screams in pain each time Brad's boot crashes into his back. In just under 2 minuets Brad has completely reversed the direction of this match. Now it is Jeremy who is dazed and in trouble. Lying face down on the mat Jeremy is struggling to get to his feet. Before he can get to his hands and knees Brad drops an elbow smash onto his lower back. Two more elbows smash into Jeremy. Leaping to his feet a rejuvenated Brad stands on the back of Jeremy's thighs. Hooking Jeremy's boots around his then pounding on Jeremy's sides Brad gets hold of Jeremy's arms. Jeremy's arms and legs are locked in tight. Pulling back on Jeremy's arms Brad is able to rock Jeremy off the mat. The 15yr old champion has his 17yr old opponent trapped in an overhead ceiling hold. With his mother, father and girlfriend watching in horror Jeremy is forced to scream out his submission " Let me go - I give up - I give up". Tears form at the corners of Jeremy's eyes and slowly run down his cheeks. The ref knees beside the two young wrestlers, "Is that it Jeremy? You want to submit?" Unable to stand the pain of Brad's ceiling hold Jeremy admits defeat. " YES - YES - I submit - I submit". Brad immediately releases Jeremy dropping him to the canvas. Brad's hand is raised in victory as Jeremy's parents aid there defeated son. Brad grabs his title belt and ducks threw the ropes. At the top of the isle near the back of the arena Brad meets Ashley Harris his girlfriend and herself a junior wrestler. "Man you were really lucky Brad. I though Jeremy had you." Brad just smiles at Ashley puts his arm around her and heads to his dressing room. The matches now move into the senior division and all three of the Nelson's in that division are wrestling tonight. 35 yr old Vivian the number 3 ranked contender is up first. She is taking on Jenny Lynn Renolds. Jenny Lynn is the daughter of Phillip and Barbara Renolds the senior division tag team champions. Jenny has just turned 19 and is 3 and 0 in the division and looking to move up. Vivian comes to the ring in her white one piece with black pantyhose and white boots. Jenny Lynn also adopts the old school look. She's wearing a shinny blue metallic one piece with shinny tan pantyhose and white boots. It is a hard fought match by both women but after 13 minuets of wrestling Vivian managed to pin Jenny Lynn. After two more matches 18yr old Monica Nelson made her way to the ring. In her purple two-piece with black fishnets and black boots the number 6 contender is taking on the number 4 contender 22yr old Nick Labella. Nick enters the ring wearing bright yellow tights and boots. This turns into a one-sided squash fest. Nick is never able to mount any offence against Monica at all. After only 3 minuets Monica is able to get Nick in her favorite finishing hold. Flat on his back in the center of the ring the 22yr old #4 contender Nick Labella has his legs trapped by Monica's Figure- Four leg lock. Screaming in pain and wildly flailing about Nick submits to Monica and pleads to be released from her hold "I submit - let me go - let me go - PLEASE I give up". Once again Monica has defeated a higher ranked wrestler. The finial match of the evening is for the FWL title. The champion Tina Tinnari will take on Dale Nelson in a one-fall match. Dale is pacing back and forth in his dressing room. It is obvious to his wife Vivian that he is very nervous and she does her best to calm her husband down. "You need to relax Dale. If you try to wrestle being this tense Tina will beat you easily" Dale nods that he knows what she means and he tries to calm down. In the champion's dressing room Tina is the picture of calm. She sits in an easy chair with her legs crossed relaxing before the match. She has no fear of Dale Nelson, which is why she insisted on him as her replacement opponent. Having learned that his daughter has easily won her match it is time for Dale to head to the ring. Dressed in a light blue thong, blue wrestling boots and a blue silk robe Dale walks down the isle toward the ring. As he passes the fans many reach out to give him a high five or a pat on the back. Most wish him luck in his match. Jogging up the steps Dale ducks threw the ropes and heads to his corner. He stretches trying to stay loose as he waits for the champion. Tina Tinnari makes her entrance to the arena and heads down the isle. She waves to the fans but does not reach out to touch them. There is a smattering of Boo's as she heads toward the ring. Tina is a gorgeous young woman and she knows it, but she is also a tremendous athlete. Tina enters the ring wearing a pink spandex one piece. It is covered with shinny rhinestones that sparkle in the ring lights, she wears dark tan pantyhose and pink boots. She is wrapped in a pink kimono and wears the championship belt around her waist. With the instructions given the bell rings to start the match. Tina waists no time going after Dale. Before he can turn around and get out of his corner Tina leaps on him and monkey flips him into the middle of the ring. Dale crashes down on his back and the air rushes from his lungs. Before he can get to his feet Tina is on him trapping his head in a leg scissors. Dale twists and turns as Tina's legs squeeze his head. Dale bridges up to ease the pain in his neck, as he does Tina slams her fist into his belly. Dale spends almost 2 minuets in Tina's scissors struggling before he is able to get one boot over the bottom rope. As the hold is broken Tina gets quickly to her feet. Dale struggles needing to pull on the ropes to regain his feet. Tina moves in on Dale as he backs away from her. They lock up collar and elbow and struggle for a second. Tina swiftly hooks Dale's arm getting behind him and wrenching it up into a hammerlock. As she drives Dale's arm up toward his shoulder blades she reaches around his head and pulls on his chin. Tina now has Dale in a hammerlock and cross face. Dale stretches up on his toes trying to ease the pain in his arm. Tina uses her leverage on him to move Dale to the center of the ring. Releasing Dale's chin Tina hooks his free arm; slowly she works Dale into a standing surfboard. Dale's arms feel as though they are being pulled out of their sockets. He screams in pain as Tina plants her boot into the middle of his back. Dale's only hope of escape is to get to the ropes. However with his arms twisted up behind him and Tina's boot digging into his back Dale slowly sags to his knees. With only 5 minuets gone in the match the ref asks Dale if he's read to submit. He can only shake his head NO. Struggling as hard as he can Dale lifts one leg off the mat and gets up on one knee. Pushing with all his strength he slowly get to his feet. With Dale on his feet Tina is forced to take her boot off his back. He then painfully works his way to the ropes and steps threw. With Tina's hold broken Dale shakes his arms and rubs his shoulders trying to regain some feeling. The referee's count reaches ten before Dale steps back into the ring. Tina moves in on him but Dale backpedals trying to stay away. Dale backs along the ropes till he reaches one corner. Before he can escape Tina cuts him off. Pinning Dale against the turnbuckle Tina drives her knee into his mid section. As she knees him she jams her forearm under his chin and across his throat cutting off his air. The ref orders her to break but Tina lets the count reach 4 before she backs off Dale. Without his opponents arm holding him up Dale slides down the turnbuckle slumping in the corner. Dale clutches his throat gagging and gasping for air. The ref begins to count Dale out as he holds Tina back from him. As the ref's count reaches 12 Dale struggles to his feet pulling on the ropes. Tina charges past the ref and drives one of her pink boots into Dale's belly. Dale doubles over at the waist clutching his stomach. Tina wraps her arm around his head and pulls Dale out of the corner in a headlock. Tina squeezes Dale's head as hard as she can. As she does this she twists it grinding his neck and shoulder muscles. Dale pushes on Tina's arms as hard as he can trying to pry his head free. Tina has the hold locked on tight and hip tosses Dale over onto his back. Bridging up she rolls Dale's shoulders onto the mat. The ref's hand slaps the canvas twice before Dale is able to get one shoulder up. Dale must fight the exhausting effects of Tina's headlock as he struggles to keep his shoulders off the mat. In a move of desperation Dale is able to hook his arms around one of Tina's legs. Gathering his strength he lifts her leg rolling her across his body and on to her shoulders. With a quick two count she is forced to let go of Dale's head. Free from the disabling headlock Dale staggers to his feet. Having been wrestling Tina for just over ten minuets Dale has shone almost no ability to mount any kind if an offence. He is breathing heavily and sweat is dripping off his forehead, again he backs away from locking up with her. Tina has no interest in letting Dale rest. She moves in on him and grabs his arm. Twisting his arm as she pulls him off the ropes Tina whips Dale across the ring. As he flies back at her she scoops him off the mat lifts him high over her head and slams Dale to the mat. As Dale struggles in the ring, at the back of the arena his family is horrified by the punishment he is taking. Vivian, Monica, Brad and Brad's girlfriend Ashley Harris have been watching the match from the beginning. Ashley holds Brad's hand as she talks to him. "Brad your dad looks like he's really taking a beating". Monica turns to her mother looking scared. "Will dad be alright? Tina is working him over pretty bad." Vivian tries to reassure her daughter. "Daddy will be just fine. He's a pro just like we all are. This could happen to any one of us. Sometime when you get In the ring no matter how hard you try you just lose." Dale is stunned by the body slam. On his back in the center of the ring he makes almost no effort to get up. Tina does not seam to care that she could easily pin Dale for the win. Reaching down she grabs him by his hair and pulls the dazed wrestler to his feet. Dale wobbles a little as Tina sets him up for another slam. Bending down Tina reaches between Dale's legs. As she grabs his thong Dale hooks his arm around her head. Grabbing the back of her tights Dale drives Tina's head into the canvas in a bulldog move. Tina's face smashes into the mat and her eyes roll up into her head. Tina is badly stunned and is almost unconscious. Taking no chances Dale pulls the champion back to her feet. Jamming her head between his legs he lifts her straight up holding her perpendicular to the mat. With his arms tightly locked around her waist Dale drops to the canvas smashing the top of Tina's head into the mat. Dazed and battered by the beating he has taken it takes Dale a few seconds to roll the unconscious champion off him. Before he can move to cover her he collapses onto his back. Gasping for air he takes three or four deep breaths before rolling over and crawling to were Tina is lying. Dropping on her in a chest-to-chest cover Dale hooks her leg and rolls her shoulders onto the mat. The referee drops down checking Tina's shoulders and begins to slap the mat. " ONE - TWO - THREE" Tina has been pinned. Unable to move Dale just lies across Tina. He does not yet realize that he has beaten Tina Tinnari and that he is the new champion. Dale's family races to the ring and leaps up the stairs. The three of them rush over to Dale and pulling him off Tina helps him to his feet. Dale's wife Vivian goes to Tina's corner and gets the world title belt. Vivian and Dale's daughter Monica wrap the title belt around Dale's waist and buckle it on him. Brad hugs his father and he and Monica raise Dale's arms in the air. Tina's people have also come to the ring and are helping the beaten ex- champion to her feet and back to her corner. With the title belt around him Dale get a little wobble and also needs help returning to his corner. The crowd quiets for the announcement that will end this nights wrestling card.
