Morning Wood

Duke vs Stevie, Mat Wars 152 (Thunders Arena)

Duke's muscles have muscles. What distinguishes Duke from the rest of the manly muscles at Thunders Arena is his sourpuss attitude. Every match I have seen him in, he looks like he just got out of bed or came home drunk - and between you and me, I find that sexy. His hair is messed up even before Stevie shows up to fight him. He looks like a good Sunday morning fuck. 

By contrast, Stevie shows up looking freshly showered, full of Wheaties, and, like Duke, immensely fuckable. He has a cheery disposition in contrast to Duke's perpetual bad mood. Stevie shows up, and Duke shoots him a look that says, "Say 'good morning' and I'll punch you in the teeth." 

He doesn't say that. Instead, he mocks Stevie's name. Seconds later, Stevie leans in, and the two wrestlers lock arms. Stevie slips behind Duke and wraps his arms around Duke's midsection. Duke lets his knees bend, letting Stevie know he has the weight to beat the newcomer without even trying. Duke pushes Stevie's back to the mat and straddles the rookie's neck. 

Stevie puts up a good fight. He's seemingly resigned to his fate, but he won't go down easy. If Duke enjoys beating Stevie, his face doesn't show it. There's a tiny, amused glimmer in his eyes, but it's not enough to offset his grumpy demeanor. After twenty minutes and with virtually no fanfare, he chokes Stevie out and then lumbers away. Stevie's in dreamland, on his back with arms spread out.
