The Dressing Room, By "G" GFlm@aol.com A look behind the scenes Bruce had always wanted to be an athlete but had never come close. He had only passed gym class with a "D" average. His love of sports had centered around wrestling, never being able to compete had been a big disappointment. In high school and in collage he had always been a geek. At twenty-six with many millions in Dot com money in the bank he had found a way to indulge himself. His wrestling team was one of, if not the best team in the Private Club Fed. Seven of the best young collegiate and Pro trained wrestlers anyone had ever seen. As a team they were undefeated 11 and 0 and had only lost two individual matches. The matches tonight were a very private invitation only affair closed to most of the club members. Bruce's team would be facing a team owned by a socially prominent and very wealthy Brazilian woman. She had challenged Bruce to a team verses team meeting to see who had the best wrestlers. It is said that she had recruited her team from a small village high in a remote part of the Andes Mountains. All any body really knew about them is they all looked very similar, white hair, creamy white skin and violet eyes. To the best of Bruce's knowledge no one had ever seen them wrestle. Bruce and his team arrived at the arena in several stretch lemos. As Bruce went to greet his invited guests the team members went to their dressing room to prepare for their matches. Todd, Bobby, Ken, Steve, Chris, Dan, and Nick are everything top rated wrestlers should be. They are young, athletic, well conditioned, well trained and very handsome. Bruce spares no expense on his team. Tonight the boys will ware their Kelly green team wrestling gear. Tight shinny satin thongs, green paten leather boots and green satin mid thigh ring robes. As they prepare for the matches most of their thoughts are not on wrestling. All of the team members have at least one gorgeous lady on the guest list and Bruce has promised a lavish victory party after the matches. They remove their street cloths; pull up and adjust their thongs and lace their boots. The team trainers begin to help each wrestler loosen up and get ready to fight. They have been through this many times before and the result is always the same; team victory. They don't believe anyone can defeat them and they all want show off for their ladies. The knock on the door means it's time to wrestle. Todd makes last minute adjustments to his thong and boots as the team entrance music begins. "Back in fifteen minutes" he says as he and his trainer head to the ring. The other team members only vaguely hear the music they know the sounds by hart. The muffled introduction the sound of the bell to start the match. The loud screams and cheers seam out of place this early in a match, the ringing of the bell comes to soon its only been a few seconds. Ken and Steve look at each other and shrug " Todd must have had an easy match - it sounds like it's over already" After several minutes the dressing door opens and Todd enters he is being helped by two of the medical staff his arms draped over their shoulders they carry him to a padded table and lay him down. The rest of the team is stunned they all ask what happened " don't know - Abdominal Stretch- so much pain - had to submit" is all Todd can say as his eye close and he faints into unconsciousness. Todd's trainer begins to help his fallen wrestler he removes his boots and starts to massage his red and swollen abdomen. As he begins to tell the other wrestlers what happened the call comes for Bobby to wrestle. The music starts Bobby and his trainer head toward the ring. As Todd's trainer continues to work on him he tells the others " It happened so fast - they were both introduced - the ref gave the instructions - the bell rang - She flew across the ring kneed Todd in belly and whipped him to the ropes - as he shoots back WHAM! He's trapped in an Abdominal Stretch - I've never seen anything like it - her muscles bulge and Todd is screaming - over and over he screams I give up - I give up - he begs her to let him go but it's like she does not understand - finally she releases him and he drops to the mat - I've never seen a top wrestler beaten that fast". As they turn to leave Todd's trainer work on his badly beaten wrestler Steve stops " listen the crowd- it's very quiet" as they wonder what is happening the bell rings over and over. " It must be just starting" Steve says, they all know that 's just wishful thinking. Seconds later Bobby is carried in and laid on a training table. The medics tell every one " This guy lost too - these woman are beating the hell out of you guy's". Bobby's trainer looks like he's seen a ghost as he enters the dressing room " there unbelievable - I've never seen anything like them their so strong - They can't be normal - Bobby never had a chance". Steve looks at his defeated teammate lying on the table. Bobby is almost sobbing curled up holding his leg " what happened" Steve asks " she get you in an Abdominal Stretch too". Slowly through moans of pain Bobby tells his teammates what happened." I tried to attack first - ran across the ring - she was waiting for me - almost like she knew what I was going to do - She scooped me up and slammed me to the mat - did a knee drop on my leg -then twisted me in a Figure Four leg lock - She's so strong - I couldn't get out - she was breaking my leg - I had to submit" Bobby's trainer tells everyone to leave Bobby alone as he begins to tend to his damaged leg. Ken and Steve have had just about enough of this; " I'll be dammed if I'm going to let some unknown beat me that fast. Some body has to show these Brazilian girls we know how to wrestle, beside Veronica is out there it wouldn't be good to have her see me get beat" Ken says in disgust " yea I don't want to loose either" Steve agrees. The arena people tell Ken that it is his turn to wrestle. As he and his trainer head to the ring the dressing room becomes very quiet Steve, Chris, Dan, and Nick sit on their stools lost in though. Each one listening to the sounds of the crowd hopping for the best. The music starts then the introductions, the bell rings, all four wrestlers take a deep breath, as the seconds pass into minutes they each begin to relax. One - two - three minutes go by, slowly the four wrestlers look up from the floor, and they begin to smile and breath again. Then it happens a loud cheer from the crowd, the sound of the bell ringing again and again signals the match is over. Steve speaks first " Ken won - he must have won -this is the longest match so far". As they get up to meet Ken at the door he is dragged in by the arena crew. He is out cold; his boots drag on the floor his head is slumped down on his chest. He is no longer wearing his thong it is tided around his neck. " She did this to him after she knocked him out - he must have pissed her off - we had to drag him out of the ring - Medic's are tired of carrying you guys back hear after you loose now we got to do it - these girls are really kicking your butts". Ken's trainer tells the others that Ken landed a good drop kick on his opponent but it had no effect." He came out at the bell - circled her once and let fly with a running drop kick - caught her flush on the chest - she never went down - it just made her angry - like she was embarrassed he'd got to her first - she pulled him off the mat and locked on a sleeper hold - it was over in seconds he was out - arms down- legs wobbly - he never even tried to escape - when she let him go he fell to the mat in a heap - then she pulled off his wrestling thong and put it over his head - it was the most humiliating thing I've ever seen". The next three matches went just about the same way. Steve, Chris, and Dan were all defeated. Each match lasted only a few minutes. Each wrestler was forced into submission, Steve submitted to a Mexican Romaro hold, Chris to a Camel Clutch, and Dan to an over the shoulder back breaker. All limped or were helped back to their dressing room. Nick looked around the dressing room all six of his teammates had been defeated, three were lying on training tables with injures, one was still out cold after being sleeperd and striped naked. Nick was now afraid to go to the ring. In all the years he had been wrestling as a young boy, in junior high, high school, collage and now as a pro he had never been afraid before. His teammates tried to encourage him" it's up to you now Nick - go out there and kick her butt". Nick's face gave him away he was scared. "No I don't want to go out there - I don't want wrestle - she's going to beat me - I don't want to loose". The voice at the door was calling" it's time - next wrestler in the ring". Nick was in a near panic " no - no - tell them I don't want to wrestle - I give up now - She wins - Please - tell them I quit". The arena people tell Nick he can not give up in the dressing room he must come to the ring. His teammates calm Nick down they tell him that he is the best wrestler on the team and he will win his match. Nick takes several deep breaths and regains his courage. He stops at the mirror to adjust his thong, smooth his hair and tie his green satin robe. He is ready to do battle. As he and his trainer walk to the ring the fans are cheering him GO GET HER NICK - YOU CAN DO IT - BEAT HER BAD NICK. Step by step Nick's confidence grows; he begins to raise his fist in the air. He stops to high five several of the men in the crowd and to kiss a very special and beautiful women. Nick steps through the ropes and waves to the crowd. The introductions are made and Nick removes his satin robe. The women in the crowd cheer; Nick has a great body and a very handsome face and he looks terrific in a thong. The referee gives her instructions to the two wrestlers and they return to their corners to await the bell. Nick and his opponent move out of their corners and begin to circle each other. Nick moves in grabs her wrist hooks his arm inside hers and bends her arm back in a standing wristlock. The crowd cheers, as this is the first hold put on these girls. Nick puts as much pressure on her as he can, but she just stands there. After several seconds she tenses her arm and throws Nick off. He is stunned by how strong she is, he knows that she is stronger than he is. Nick moves in again this time he lands several fore arm smashes on her chest, he bends down and grabs her around the waist. He tries to drive her into a corner but she easily stands her ground. Suddenly Nick is caught in a front headlock. Slowly she squeezes his head; he is pulled around the ring screaming as his head is being crushed. As the hold is released Nick is bent over at the waist, when two powerful kicks slam into his mid section. Nick is lifted off the mat with each kick the wind knocked out of him. He staggers back only to be grabbed by the head and snap marred over on his back. She pulls Nick to his feet reaches between his legs grabs his thong hooks his head and slams him to the mat. As he lies on his back stomp after stomp crashes into his stomach. Again he is pulled off the mat grabbed and lifted in the air. This time as he is brought down his back slams into her thigh and knee. Nick is draped over her leg in a kneeling back breaker. As she takes hold of his chin and pushes down, she also clamps a stomach claw on him. The match is only three minuets old and Nick is dazed and helpless. His screams fill the arena, as his back is bent and his stomach clawed. Bruce has sat through the six previous matches watching his wrestlers getting beaten and humiliated, he can stand no more. Even though Nick is hopelessly trapped he shouts at him to escape, and keep fighting. He tells the ref not to ask if Nick wants to submit. "If he can't beat her let him suffer". Nick has no chance of escaping and no hope of beating her. His arms flail wildly he pulls and pounds on her arms trying to get free. Finely he can take no more as he desperately cries out " Ref - Ref - I submit - I submit - tell her to stop - please - I give up". Several seconds pass as the ref seams torn about what to do. Nick can not understand what is happening the match should be over and he should be free from this hold. The pain is almost unbearable as he cries out again. " Ref - I've had enough - I give up - Make her stop - I submit - no more please - let me go - I give up - I give up". This time the ref acts the match is over and Nick is let go. He drops to the mat unable to stand or even move. He looks up at woman who has just beaten him as her hand is raised in victory. He is glad when the staff pulls him from the ring and carries him back to the dressing room. As his trainer unties and removes his wrestling boots and begins to treat his back Nick's teammates ask about the match. " I'm not sure just what happened - I know I've never been beaten this bad before - she was so strong I had no chance - she slammed me all over the mat - I could not counter any thing she did - to finish me off she trapped me in a kneeling back breaker and stomach claw - the pain was terrible - I kept shouting my submission over and over but she just kept me trapped in the hold for so long - I never want to wrestle these women again". The arena is dark all the guests have left; Bruce has just finished writing a check. It is for one million dollars and is made out to the Brazilian woman " I told you that your wrestlers would not win a match".
