THE HIGH TABLE

10:34 David_Meadows: These days I got some nice applications for me to join the ring. One of them is Duk3. He challenged me to a match to show me he will be the one on top. So I invited him to my local gym after hours with some guys as audience and also 2 guys as medical staff.

10:38 David_Meadows: I enter the room from the locker rooms and make my way to the ring. I wear my shorts and am barefoot. At 6'0" and bringing my 205 lbs to the weight I roll into the ring under the ropes and get up looking around on the small crowd. I flex for them and await the entrance of my opponent.

17:58 The_Duk3: Finally receiving my long awaited invite to the gym to take on David. I accept without hesitation. The locker room is simple, not what I’m accustomed to, “I’ll make day” I whisper to myself. I begin preparing. There is a gently knock on my door, a trembling voice inquires if I am ready. With confidence I say, “it’s showtime!”. I make my way to the ring wearing my compressed trunks. 6ft of compact 180lbs of muscle I walk on the ramp. I strut to the ring as I hear the faint cheers of the audience. Left foot right foot, as I step on the metal steps, ducking under the top rope I enter the ring!

17:58 The_Duk3:

15:00 David_Meadows: I see you enter the ring as my inner voice tells me: "Dinner is served." and I smile a bit. I lean my back against the corner post and watch you intense. As I get ready I walk into the middle of the ring and wait for you to join me.

17:11 The_Duk3: I can see your internal preoccupation, “what is he thinking” I think to myself. But it’s time. Time to move forward. I see a smile fall over your face, and I grin. Light on my feet, I walk to the center of the ring with you meeting you there. I stick my chest out a tad to appear bigger! “Let’s go” I say to you!

17:26 David_Meadows: "Let's go!" I say as look into your eyes and then quickly swing my left arm out in an uppercut aimed at your chin.

17:29 The_Duk3: You throw an uppercut towards my chin. I can hear the whistle of the wind as your hand cuts through the air. Relying on my legs I take a quick side step to the left and weaves out of the path of impact. I see your abs wide open and I lift my knee into your core! Trying to drive it deep!

17:51 David_Meadows: My uppercut swings out into empty air, moving my body sideways as your knee lands hard into the side of my left thigh making me hiss out. I push on my right leg and drive my left shoulder into you.

17:52 The_Duk3: Your left shoulder clashes into my chest! The impact with the force of a wrecking ball. Pft!

18:15 David_Meadows: My shoulder hits your chest. As my shoulder connects my elbow flies up attacking your chin once again, this time with perfect precision.

18:17 The_Duk3: Stunned with the impact of your shoulder into my chest. I’m slow to react. I can see your elbow flying up, but it’s too close to move. The point of your elbow cracks into my chin! GAWK! My head snaps back. I stagger back in the ring!

18:47 David_Meadows: I feel the impact of my elbow on your chin sending you back. I turn around and quickly follow using my left arm to push you hard attempting to get you into the corner. My face has a determined look.

18:48 The_Duk3: You push me into the corner. Before you’re able to get close to me, I hop onto the second turnbuckle. Then throw myself into the air towards you for a cross body slam!

18:52 David_Meadows: I see you get on the second turnbuckle knowing this is going to hurt both of us. As you throw yourself in the air I try to catch you but fail and only manage to grab your waist as we fall together on the canvas. My back hitting first making the ring shake a bit.

00:52 The_Duk3: After I soar through the air like an air striking in the wind. I lands on top of you. Attempt to grab me mid air, unsuccessful. You fall to the mat. Your impact buffers me from taking much damage! Landing on top of you. I go to roll you up for a pin!

01:46 David_Meadows: You attempt to roll me up for a pin. I flex my core and lift my shoulder up. Pushing you away from me.

13:38 The_Duk3: Try to get you tight, alas. You still have too much power. I feel the sensation of your core flex, and you put out of the pin. You push me off of you. Rather than full rolling away. I keep near you. I try to roll you over to your chest. If I can I quickly slide down your head, I wrap my arms around your head with a head lock.

13:48 David_Meadows: As you try to roll me over to my chest my knee swings up and aims at your side.

13:49 The_Duk3: Crack! Your knee slams into my side. I retreat, my arm cradles my side nursing the pain. Getting out of your striking distance

13:53 David_Meadows: I roll over to my chest and get on one knee. Looking at you as you nurse the pain. Pushing my arms to the knee as I stand up. "Did I hurt you?" I shout at you as I take one step towards you.

13:58 The_Duk3: We both get to our feet. My arms crossed over my abs, holding tight to my side. You take a step towards me. As you do, I take a step back trying to buy some time until I figure out my next move!

14:38 David_Meadows: I see you cross your arms. I quickly step forward, grab your upper arms and headbutt you between your pecs.

14:40 The_Duk3: Before I can react. Not only are you strong, but you’re quick. You squeeze my upper arms holding me in place. Your head smashes into sternum. Trying to act quickly i lift my knee quickly to impact your abs!

14:44 David_Meadows: My head rams into your chest. You lift your knee and attempt to hit my abs. This time I am ready as my abs are flexed hard I can feel the impact, making me grunt a bit as I then push into my feet and want to push you into the corner.

15:25 The_Duk3: With you still holding my arms and your head in my chest. There is little to no room for movement. I begin being pushed into the corner. Thinking quickly I lift my left foot and stomp down hard onto the top of your foot!

15:30 David_Meadows: I am pushing you further into the corner and then you stomp on the top of my foot. I howl out in anger and pain. Grabbing your arms tighter and then falling down to my back as I stretch out my knees pulling on your arms as your face is headed to meet up with my knees.

19:29 The_Duk3: Despite my stomp to your foot. You don’t relinquish my arms, rather the grip on them becomes tighter! You fall backwards and I got tumbling with you. Then to my surprise my face smacks into your knee. My entire head snaps back.

19:39 David_Meadows: Your head snaps back and I release your arms making your body slip down on the canvas. I get on top of you and wrap my arms around your throat, tightening my grip as my pecs cover your face and my knees press down your wrists.

19:42 The_Duk3: My body falls backwards. Rocket by your knee strike, I’m a little dazed. I feel the girl grip of your arms around my neck. My face suffocated in your pecs. I moan in pain. Can feel my breathing getting hard!

19:46 David_Meadows: Pressing my pecs harder on your face, my arms tighten and my biceps flex hard. Starting to dig my heels into your ribs as I keep my weight on your wrists. Breathing slowly.

19:48 The_Duk3: My thin frame under your more impressive physique. The lock on my neck tightens. My hands which were once squirming under the weight of your knees begin to slow down.

19:52 David_Meadows: Feeling your body slowly fading off I wiggle my chest a bit to leave no room for air to get in and out. My arms flexing, showing some veins to pop up. Heels digging deep into your sides. Holding on tight on that nicely carved body of yours.

19:54 The_Duk3: I take a few more breaths. My eye sight getting fuzzy from the lack of oxygen. Unseen by you. My eyes roll back and I fade.

19:57 David_Meadows: After a short time I feel no more movement in your arms or chest. I lift up my chest and look down at you, eyes closed and you gone. I sit up and gently pat your cheeks. "Hey buddy wake up. " I shout at you.

19:57 The_Duk3: My body moans as you deliver a few gentle slaps. Ughhh!

20:00 David_Meadows: Looking down at you. Waiting for you to gather your senses. I smile at you. "You fought like a tiger. Great job! How about a shower and a massage? " I ask as I slowly remove myself from top of you.

20:03 The_Duk3: Knock out. I hardly come to! I begin rolling to crawl to my corner.

20:04 David_Meadows: End
