THE HIGH TABLE

15:12 Adam_the_strong_guy: The arena lights suddenly drop to black. A deep bass shakes the entire stadium. Blue and gold spotlights begin sweeping across the crowd while smoke rolls over the entrance stage. I can hear thousands of people roaring before I even step through the curtain. Then the first words hit through the speakers. “Ladies and gentlemen… standing 200 centimeters 6‘7… … weighing in at 133 kilograms … nearly 290lbs of pure muscle… THE HUMAN POWERHOUSE… AAAADAAAMMMM!” The crowd explodes. Some fans cheer loudly. Others look stunned just seeing my silhouette appear through the smoke. Phones go up everywhere around the arena. The music pounds through my chest as I slowly walk onto the stage. I raise my arms once. The reaction gets even louder. “Look at the size of this man!” the ring announcer shouts. “An absolute monster of strength and physique! One of the most intimidating athletes ever to step inside this ring!” I start walking down the ramp slowly, confidently, feeling every eye in the building locked onto me. The blue and gold lights reflect off my body while the crowd chants my name. “ADAM! ADAM! ADAM!”

15:14 Adam_the_strong_guy:

15:15 Adam_the_strong_guy: …. I walk out. The reaction becomes deafening. Thousands of fans rise to their feet as the spotlight locks onto me. I can feel the heat of the lights on my skin while the camera flashes fire from every direction.

15:15 Adam_the_strong_guy: The crowd explodes even louder. Some fans cheer wildly. Others just stare. I slowly raise both arms into a massive double biceps pose at the top of the stage. The arena lights reflect across my chest, shoulders, and abs while the giant screen behind me shows my name in gold letters. “Look at the size of this man!” the commentator shouts. “Adam looks absolutely unreal tonight! Pure strength. Pure dominance!” I begin walking down the ramp slowly, completely focused. Every step feels heavy. Controlled. Powerful.

15:16 Adam_the_strong_guy: Fans slam against the barricades trying to get closer while the chants continue echoing through the arena. “ADAM! ADAM! ADAM!” I keep my eyes locked on the ring. My opponent still hasn’t entered yet. And honestly… I like it that way. The ring belongs to me already. I walk up the steel steps calmly and step onto the apron. The entire arena buzzes with anticipation as I slowly enter through the ropes. Then I step into the center of the ring. I roll my shoulders once. Flex my arms. And look toward the entrance stage. Waiting. Ready. Smiling slightly while the crowd keeps roaring my name.

15:16 Adam_the_strong_guy:

15:23 Dan_S-J: The arena darkens and slowly emerges in dark blue lights. Making it feel like the calm before the storm. The entrance pitch black as the announcer goes with his voice: "And his opponent from Berlin, Germany, at 6'4" or 194 cm and scaling up to 248 pounds or 114 kg, the street branded man DAAAAAAAAAN."

15:27 Dan_S-J: The crowd erupts once more turning their eyes to the entrance as I emerge. Wearing a dark green-grey singlet , black leather boots and leather wristbands around my wrists. My face giving away no emotions while I walk down the ramp towards the ring, my eyes locked on you.

15:28 Dan_S-J: I get up the steel steps and enter the ring between the ropes. The audience giving me a mixed reaction.

15:29 Dan_S-J: Photo not found.

15:31 Dan_S-J: Getting into the ring and I direcrly head to my corner, flexing my arms as I look at the "golden boy". Awaiting the next procedures before the match.

15:35 Adam_the_strong_guy: …The moment the arena lights shift to dark blue, I stop moving completely. I stand in the center of the ring, shoulders squared, breathing slow and controlled while the entire stadium sinks into anticipation. The crowd noise changes instantly — louder, sharper, more emotional. Then I hear his name. “DAAAAAAAAAAN.” The audience erupts. I slowly turn my head toward the entrance stage while blue light reflects across the ring ropes and cage walls. My jaw tightens slightly as I finally see him emerge from the darkness. The singlet. The black boots. The cold expression. No posing. No theatrics. Just focus. I crack a small grin. Good. Finally. As Dan walks down the ramp, I don’t take my eyes off him for a second. I slowly pace toward my side of the ring, rolling my shoulders once, letting the crowd feel the tension growing. Some fans chant his name. Others chant mine louder. “ADAM! ADAM! ADAM!”

15:37 Adam_the_strong_guy: I step onto the middle rope in my corner and raise my arms into another massive flex, making sure he sees exactly what is waiting for him inside this cage. The crowd explodes again. Then I step back down and stare directly at him while he climbs the steel steps. No smile now. Only intensity. When Dan enters through the ropes, I immediately notice the way he carries himself — calm, controlled, dangerous. Not intimidated. That makes this even better. He heads to his corner and flexes his arms at me. I slowly nod once. Respect. But also a warning. I grip the top rope with both hands and lean forward slightly, never breaking eye contact. In my head there is only one thought now: “You wanted this fight. Now you’re standing in the ring with me.”

15:37 Adam_the_strong_guy:

15:38 Adam_the_strong_guy:

15:38 Adam_the_strong_guy: Then I come closer as you flex and I do also a massive flex for that entrance show of that Main Event …

15:42 Dan_S-J: We stare at each other . I am not giving you any emotion. Remembering quickly how I survived bigger guys in the streets of Berlin in my very late teens. I give you a sharp look and wait for the referee as he explains the few rules.

15:51 Adam_the_strong_guy:

15:53 Adam_the_strong_guy: I stare right back at you from across the ring. No smile. No movement. Just breathing slowly while the arena noise fades into the background. I can see it in your eyes immediately — you’ve been through fights before. Real fights. Not just inside arenas. The way you stand there without emotion tells me enough. Good. That’s exactly the kind of opponent I wanted.

15:54 Adam_the_strong_guy: The referee steps between us carefully, clearly feeling the tension already building. “Alright, listen carefully! This is NHB rules!” The crowd roars instantly. “No dirty shots! No disqualification! Victory only by submission… or knockout!” I slowly crack my neck to one side while keeping my eyes locked on you. No ropes to save us. No cheap escape. Exactly how it should be. The referee points between us. “You protect yourselves at all times!” I roll my shoulders once and take half a step closer, towering forward slightly. I can feel the adrenaline beginning to hit now. Not fear. Excitement. Because standing in front of me isn’t some entertainer trying to look dangerous. You actually are dangerous. And that makes me want this fight even more. I lower my stance slightly, fists tightening while the crowd gets louder around us. Then I quietly say to you: “Let’s see if those Berlin streets prepared you for this.”

15:56 Adam_the_strong_guy:

18:19 Dan_S-J: The crowd gets silent as the referee explains the rules of which there are only a few left. Our eyes meet in the center of the ring and I keep calm because I know this will be just another fight of many I have been through. Not always successful but I made my opponent earn it with a lot of sweat. You step closer and put a oneliner into my ears. Making me grin a bit as I only know that the streets were more of a battleground than this ring will ever be.

18:23 Adam_the_strong_guy: I notice that grin immediately after my words. Not arrogance. Not fear either. Just the look of someone who has already lived through enough pain to stop reacting to intimidation. That makes me respect you more. I stay right there in front of you while the referee finishes the final instructions, the entire crowd strangely quiet now. Tens of thousands of people watching us without even breathing loudly. I can hear the ropes creaking behind me. Feel the sweat already forming on my shoulders under the arena lights. But my eyes never leave yours. You talk about the streets like they hardened you. Maybe they did. But standing here now, face to face with me in the middle of this ring, I know something too: This isn’t going to be clean technique or points fighting. This is going to become a war of pressure, endurance, and will. And I love that. I slowly flex my fingers once before tightening my fists again. My chest rises with one deep breath while I lower my stance slightly, preparing for the opening exchange. The referee looks between us one final time. “You ready?” I don’t answer verbally. I just nod once. Calm. Focused. Waiting. Then I take one small step toward the center of the ring, planting my boots firmly into the canvas. Ready for the bell.

18:37 Dan_S-J: Feeling the tension rising, the air thick, you could cut it with a knife. Lower myself to a squat and place my left fist on the canvas, flexing up my thighs and core. The ref in-between us. I hear his question and nod. Waiting for the bell to ring.

18:37 Dan_S-J:

18:42 Adam_the_strong_guy: The bell explodes through the arena. Instantly the entire crowd erupts to its feet. I see you lowering your body, fist against the canvas like a predator ready to launch. Your legs flex, core tightened, completely prepared for impact. Good. That fires me up even more. I immediately take two hard steps backward, my boots grinding against the canvas while never taking my eyes off you for a second. Then I explode forward. The ring shakes beneath my weight as I charge straight across the center line, my right arm swinging outward with full force. CLOTHESLINE. I throw everything behind it — chest, shoulders, momentum, pure power — trying to smash directly through you before the feeling-out process can even begin. The crowd roars violently at the sudden explosion of action.

18:50 Dan_S-J: Bell sounds and we are off to our match. I see you stepping back and then charging at me full steam ahead pulling out your arm for a clothesline right at the first move. I sense that something like that would come my way. I push on my arm and roll backwards as your arm swooshes past me, missing me by only a few inches. I roll to the side and recompose myself to my starting position right behind you. Grin on my face.

18:52 Adam_the_strong_guy:

18:54 Adam_the_strong_guy: The moment my arm cuts through the air and misses you, I instantly realize you reacted faster than most men would. I feel the momentum carry me half a step forward before I slam my boot into the canvas to stop myself. Your dodge was clean. Too clean. The crowd explodes from the near impact while I immediately spin around, shoulders tense, fists already rising back into position. And there you are. Standing behind me again. That grin on your face tells me everything. You expected raw aggression. You expected me to try and run through you. I slowly smirk back while circling one step to my left, lowering my center of gravity into a proper fighting stance now.

18:59 Dan_S-J: The moment you lower your body is my signal to do what I can best. I push into my feet and charge at you with my elbow up high aiming for your head. Just as I am closing in I duck my frame and aim my whole weight into your left knee.

22:39 Adam_the_strong_guy: I see the elbow coming first. Aggressive. Fast. But the second you suddenly drop your level, I understand what you’re really trying to do. My knee. Smart move. You’re trying to take away the base beneath all my power. But I react immediately. The moment you dive inward, I throw my left hand down and grab the back of your head hard, feeling the momentum of your charge still driving forward. Perfect. I yank you upward violently while lifting my right knee at the exact same time. CRACK. I drive your head straight into the rising knee with all the force I can generate from the clinch position. The impact echoes through the arena. The crowd erupts instantly. I stagger half a step backward from the collision myself, adrenaline surging through my chest, then immediately reset my stance again with my fists raised high. Breathing heavier now. Focused. Alert. Because even after landing that shot, I already know you’re still dangerous.

15:08 Dan_S-J: I run into you full steam and feel your arm pushing my head down. I keep on pushing myself deep onto you and then suddenly your right knee flies up and hits my face. I feel a bit dazed from the impact an fall down to my knees as my arms keep me from falling to the canvas. I breathe in deep and summarize my thoughts as I look up and see you standing in the corner. I lick my lips and stand up. "That was something for the start." I grin and straighten my posture. I point on you with my index finger and wiggle it to invite you to come at me.

18:00 Adam_the_strong_guy: I stand there breathing heavily, my chest rising slowly after the knee strike connected clean. I expected you to stay down longer. But then you look up at me. Still grinning. That immediately makes me smirk too. You push yourself back to your feet while the crowd roars around us, clearly loving every second of this already. Sweat drips down both our bodies under the arena lights while the referee carefully circles around us, watching for the next explosion. Then you point at me. Inviting me forward. I roll my neck once and slowly begin walking toward you instead of rushing this time. My boots echo against the canvas with every controlled step. I know you’re trying to pull me into another aggressive opening. Smart. But I adapt quickly. I raise both hands into a tighter guard while stopping just outside striking distance, my eyes scanning every movement in your shoulders and hips. Then I suddenly slap my own chest hard with my fist once. “But now let’s see how long you can survive my pace.” I start circling again, slower now, more dangerous, constantly shifting my weight while looking for the next opening. The crowd begins getting louder again, sensing that both of us are fully settling into the fight.

18:03 Adam_the_strong_guy:

22:37 Dan_S-J: You slowly walk towards me and then smash your chest asking me if I can keep the pace. I grin instantly, slowly looking like a mad man. Well I may be one. You start to circle me and I watch you closely. I take a run and jump up making an axe out of my arms midair as I then try to aim either at your head or shoulders to land my first significant strike.

06:27 Adam_the_strong_guy: I see you explode upward toward me, both arms raised for the axe strike. Fast. Aggressive. But I react instantly. I throw both forearms upward and block the impact before it can crash onto my head. The force still rattles through my shoulders, but I stay planted. The second your feet touch the canvas again, I counter. I slam my shin hard into the back of your knee, targeting the knee pit to break your balance. The moment your body dips from the impact, I twist my hips and fire my other thigh upward violently— Driving it straight into your temple. A sharp, brutal strike.… BAM 💥 ..

19:25 Dan_S-J: I see your arms rise up blocking my attempt for a heavy hit. My mind goes "Fuck!" as I land on my feet and get hit by your shin into the back of my knee as my leg gives in. Your hips, nearly missing my head then make me fall onto the floor. Smashing my fists to the canvas as the anger rises.

19:29 Adam_the_strong_guy: I see you hit the canvas and slam your fists down in frustration. The crowd instantly explodes. I take two slow steps backward, breathing heavily, sweat running down my chest, then suddenly throw both arms upward into a massive double biceps pose right over you. The arena roars even louder. “ADAM! ADAM! ADAM!” I flex hard, every muscle tightened under the lights, enjoy showing my muscle power to the Fans ….

19:34 Adam_the_strong_guy:

04:46 Dan_S-J: My mind racing with thoughts of paying you back the humiliation you already put me through in front of this crowd. I look up at you and see that your ego has taken over as you show off to the people. I get up and take a deep breath. Quickly getting behind and wrapping my arms around your waist. Then with a grunt I lift you up, bend my legs and throw you back in an German suplex. Releasing your waist as you fly over me using the momentum to do the rest.

06:52 Adam_the_strong_guy: I flex my guns and Play with the crowd. I barely realize you’re behind me before your arms lock tight around my waist. Strong. Way stronger than I expected. Then suddenly the entire world flips. “UGH—!” My back crashes violently into the canvas from the German suplex and the whole ring shakes from the impact. The crowd explodes instantly as pain shoots through my spine. For a second I just lie there, breathing hard. Then I grit my teeth. No way I stay down from that. I roll onto one knee immediately and try to get myself back up fast

02:14 Dan_S-J: The impact shaking the ring as you land on your neck. I turn over and pull on my arms as I watch you rolling on one knee. In that moment I get behind you "Not done yet!" I growl out and jump onto your back, sitting my ass down between your shoulders blades with my legs over your shoulders using my weight to keep you down on the canvas.

06:15 Adam_the_strong_guy: The extra weight crashes onto my back and instantly drives me down onto the canvas again. “UGH—!” I grit my teeth as your legs lock over my shoulders, forcing pressure down onto my spine and neck while the crowd roars at the sudden counter. For a second my arms shake beneath us both. Then something snaps inside me. “RRRRAAAAAHHHH!” I unleash a massive roar through the arena and plant both hands hard into the mat. Every muscle in my back, shoulders, and legs flexes violently as I begin forcing myself upward with you still hanging onto me. The crowd explodes. Step by step I rise back to my feet carrying your full weight on my back, chest heaving heavily while adrenaline surges through my body. Then I grab hold of your legs tightly. And throw myself backward. CRASH.💥

08:39 Dan_S-J: You start moving under me and I feel my body getting lifted up on your shoulders. You get up and then throw yourself backwards. We both land on the canvas but because of my position I get slammed hard. I arch my back feeling the pain. I roll out of the ring under the ropes and rest my back by leaning my arms against the apron.

08:56 Adam_the_strong_guy: I push myself back up inside the ring, breathing heavily while rolling my shoulders after the brutal impact. Then I see you outside the ropes, leaning against the apron and recovering. I slowly walk toward the ropes and stare down at you, sweat running off my chest while the crowd keeps roaring around us. A grin spreads across my face. I spread my arms wide once and nod toward the ring. “Come on…” I smack my own chest hard. “Get back in here.” Then I grab the top rope

08:59 Adam_the_strong_guy:

10:29 Dan_S-J: I hear your voice rumbling from the ring as you step to the ropes inviting me back into the ring. I look up and look into your eyes and grin at you, just to distract you for a second while my arms reach out under the bottom rope and grab your ankles and then pull hard towards me.

15:17 Adam_the_strong_guy: Your grin catches me for half a second— Then suddenly my ankles get ripped out from under me. “WOAH—!” I crash hard onto my back near the ropes as the crowd explodes again. But instinct kicks in immediately. I grab the middle rope tightly with both hands before you can drag me fully outside, my entire body tensing while I try to kick one leg free from your grip. “You sneaky bastard—” I grunt out with a grin, still fighting against the pull.

15:25 Dan_S-J: I try to pull you out when you gram the middle rope and fight back with pulling on it. My mind is in rage as I squeeze myself between your legs, letting the right one go and then swingign my elbow into your left knee.

15:31 Adam_the_strong_guy: “AAARGH!” Pain shoots through my left knee the second your elbow smashes into it. I instantly let go of the rope and my Body slides outside …. Grab fast the Backside of your Head and try to Slam your face hard on the apron… Bastard

15:35 Dan_S-J: You slide out of the ring and grab the backside of my head. I press my right arm out trying to resist your push against the apron. My left arm swinging an elbow into your open abs.

17:19 Adam_the_strong_guy: Your elbow slams straight into my abs. “UGH!” The shot forces the air out of my lungs and my grip weakens for a second, but I don’t fully let go. Instead I grit my teeth, grab tighter around your head with my other arm, and drive my knee upward hard toward your ribs while pressing you against the apron.

17:38 Dan_S-J: My elbow lands in your abs and I feel your grip weaken, then you drive a knee into my ribs making me gritt my teeth as I hiss out in pain. My arm still pressing against the apron. I press into my right foot and drive my body into yours pressing you against the steel steps as I need to get you off me quickly.

18:13 Adam_the_strong_guy: Your elbow slams straight into my abs. “UGH!” The shot forces the air out of my lungs and my grip weakens for a second, but I don’t fully let go. Instead I grit my teeth, grab tighter around your head with my other arm, and drive my knee upward hard toward your ribs while pressing you against the apron. 5:38 PM: Dan S-J My elbow lands in your abs and I feel your grip weaken, then you drive a knee into my ribs making me gritt my teeth as I hiss out in pain. My arm still pressing against the apron. I press into my right foot and drive my body into yours pressing you against the steel steps as I need to get you off me quickly.

18:22 Adam_the_strong_guy: The second you drive forward, my back crashes hard against the steel steps. “ARGH!” The impact rattles through my spine, but I react instantly before you can fully crush me there. I grab tight around your upper body and twist sideways with all my strength, trying to spin us both around and slam you shoulder-first into the steel steps instead.

18:35 Dan_S-J: I slide my arm up and grab the bottom rope as you grab my upper body. Holding tight. this time I am not gonna be the victim. I start to kicking my knee high to connect with your abs, my arm slowly slipping from the bottom rope as I try to intensify my knees kicking into you.

22:05 Adam_the_strong_guy: “UGH… GAH!” Your knees slam repeatedly into my abs and eventually I can’t hold the pressure anymore. I stumble backward away from you, one arm wrapping around my stomach while I lean against the barricade near the steel steps, breathing hard and groaning through clenched teeth. “Damn it…” The crowd roars as I glare back at you, chest heaving heavily while trying to recover from the brutal body shots.

22:14 Dan_S-J: You let go off me and lean against the barricade, holding your stomach, glaring back at me. I take a run and use the steps as a help jump up and deliver a punch into the side of your head, giving it all I can charge.

22:17 Adam_the_strong_guy: Your fist crashes into the side of my head with brutal force. “UGH—!” The shot snaps my head sideways and my entire body stumbles hard into the barricade. For a second my vision blurs from the impact. Then my legs finally give out. I crash down onto the arena floor in front of the barricades, one arm draped across my stomach while the other braces against the ground. The crowd explodes loudly at the huge strike. I groan heavily, shaking my head once while trying to clear my vision… on all 4 try to get back on my Feet

22:23 Dan_S-J: I use your weak moment to my advantage so long I can. I see you on all fours and get a nasty idea for a levelling move to keep us both in balance. I step up before you and trap your head between my thighs while also wrapping my arms around your waist and lifting you up, breathing heavily, grunting, swearing and sweating as I lift you up and hold our bodies close together with your head pointing to the ground.

22:27 Adam_the_strong_guy: The moment you trap my head between your thighs, I realize exactly what you’re trying to do. My eyes widen instantly. “No… no way…” The crowd explodes as you wrap your arms tighter around my waist and start hauling me upward with raw power. I can feel my body lifting off the ground, my head hanging downward while you grunt and strain to keep me elevated. I try to kick free. Try to twist out. But your grip is locked in tight. “RRRGH…!” My hands push against your sides desperately, searching for leverage, UUUGGHHHJJJHH …I know I’m trapped…

22:34 Dan_S-J: Your heavier body moving around. Its not easy to hold your mass together in one place , as my body has already been smashed and its showing by the uncertainty of my hold now. Can't perform the full scale of it as I feel your body slowly slipping through my hold. Its now or never. I take a deep breath in and then fall down to the ground in a sitting position as I know that this piledriver was not nerly perfect as I let go of you and lay down on my back, catching my breath.

22:38 Adam_the_strong_guy: The moment my head and upper body slam into the floor, everything goes white for a second. “GHHH—!” My entire body jerks violently from the impact and I collapse sideways onto the arena floor, twitching as pain shoots through my neck and spine. The crowd goes completely insane. Some fans are screaming. Others are just shocked silent after seeing the smaller Dan spike me into the ground like that. I can barely hear them through the ringing in my ears. My chest heaves heavily while one arm weakly reaches across the floor, trying to find something to pull myself up with. “Ungh…” I groan painfully and roll slightly onto my side, my body still twitching from the piledriver. That hurt. Badly. But even now… I refuse to stay down. Very slowly, shaking hard, I start pushing myself upward with one arm, breathing rough

22:46 Adam_the_strong_guy:

22:51 Dan_S-J: I lift my head to check if you are already KOed to my surprise the pile of muscle that lays beside moves and attempts to get up. I stretch my arms to the sides and take one deep breath and sit up. Seeing you move I know I need to act quickly, which is easy to say but harder to do. I roll to the side and to one knee. Still recovering as I watch the other "monster" rise up slowly.

22:55 Adam_the_strong_guy: My entire body trembles while I slowly drag one knee underneath me. Every movement hurts. My neck burns, my head pounds, and my breathing comes out rough and uneven after that piledriver onto the floor. The crowd is still going crazy around us, unable to believe I’m even moving. “Uuugh…” I groan deeply and spit onto the floor before planting one massive hand against the barricade. Very slowly… I begin pulling myself upward. Muscles shaking. Legs unsteady. But still rising. I lift my head and lock eyes with you again while both of us kneel there recovering like two exhausted monsters after a war.

06:58 Adam_the_strong_guy:

20:19 Dan_S-J: I see you slowly moving up and know I have to be faster and nastier this time. I press my feet deep into the ground and then press on them as they propell me forward as I aim my left shoulder at your abs trying to hit you as hard as possible with a spear.

06:44 Adam_the_strong_guy: I’m barely halfway upright against the barricade when I suddenly see you explode forward. Too fast. Too aggressive. Your shoulder drives straight into my abs like a battering ram. “GUUAAARGH!” All the air blasts out of my lungs instantly as my back slams violently into the barricade behind me. The metal rattles from the impact before my legs completely give out beneath me. I collapse hard onto the floor, clutching my stomach and coughing painfully while the crowd absolutely erupts. It seems … The momentum has shifted. And I know it. I roll weakly onto one side, groaning, trying to breathe again while staring up at you through blurred vision.

06:48 Adam_the_strong_guy:

09:50 Dan_S-J: I hit you hard and you hit the barricade with your back while you're winded. I get up and reach for your hair, tightening my grip as I flex my body to pull you up as my other hand swings up and aims a fist into the side of your head.

10:01 Adam_the_strong_guy: Still dazed from the spear, I barely feel your hand grabbing my hair before you yank me upward. “Uugh… fuck…” My vision blurs again as your fist crashes into the side of my head. The crowd erupts in absolute disbelief seeing the smaller Dan overwhelming the much bigger Adam outside the ring. I stumble sideways into the barricade, groaning heavily, one arm hanging low while trying to stay upright.

10:02 Adam_the_strong_guy:

10:02 Adam_the_strong_guy: The second you step in again, I suddenly throw both arms forward and grab you around the waist with a desperate burst of power. “RRAAAH!” Using all my strength, I try to drive you backward and crush you spine-first against the ring apron to stop your momentum and finally turn the fight around again.

10:04 Adam_the_strong_guy:

12:18 Dan_S-J: Out of nowhere you wrap your arms around my waist and push me back. My back hits the apron making me growl out in pain. Raising my arms I slam my wrists into the sides of your neck in a desperate attempt to fight back.

12:25 Adam_the_strong_guy: Your double strike crashes into the sides of my neck. “GHHK—!” Pain shoots through me instantly and my grip around your waist breaks apart. I stagger backward, coughing hard while trying to regain my breath. That opening is all I need. I surge forward immediately, grabbing hold of your arm and shoulder before you can recover. Muscles flexing violently, I roar and spin my entire body— Then whip you with full force straight toward the barricades. “RRRAAAAH!” The crowd explodes as I launch you across the floor, trying to smash your body brutally into the steel barrier and completely swing the momentum back in my favor. Take that Bastard.

12:27 Adam_the_strong_guy:

12:35 Dan_S-J: My wrists did their job and you back off me. I try to straighten my back trying to overcome the pain. Before I can even do that you rush at me and swing me back first into the steel barricade. The impact makes my eyes go wide, pain rushing through my whole body as I slide down to my knees every move hurts. I struggle hard to even keep my body straighten up.

12:41 Adam_the_strong_guy: I see you struggling on your knees after the barricade impact and immediately surge forward again. This time I don’t strike. I grab you. Both massive arms wrap tightly around your upper body in a crushing bearhug before I yank you violently against me. “RRRHHH…!” I squeeze with everything I have, flexing my chest and arms while pressing your face hard into my sweaty pecs so you can barely breathe. Your body is trapped completely against mine. I keep crushing tighter and tighter, trying to drain the air and strength out of you while the crowd roars at the raw power display.

12:49 Adam_the_strong_guy:

21:17 Dan_S-J: I am stunned and moving very slowly. Then your big arms yank me towards you and trap my face between your pecs as you squeeze every ounce of air from me. The musk gets into my system as I try to breathe in. My arms start to move frantically as I then realise there is no air reaching my lungs. My movements get slower every second.

08:18 Adam_the_strong_guy: I feel your body weakening against me and immediately tighten the bearhug even harder. “Yeah… that’s it…” I flex my chest and arms brutally, crushing you tighter while forcing your face deeper against my pecs. Your slower breathing and fading resistance tell me the pressure is working. I grin through heavy breaths and keep squeezing relentlessly. “You’re running out of fight…”

08:18 Adam_the_strong_guy:

09:28 Dan_S-J: As you tighten your grip my mind quickly slips to unconsciousness as my arms hang on my sides and my body gets heavy in your hold. I am out and done.

10:15 Adam_the_strong_guy: I feel your body suddenly go limp in my arms. No resistance. No struggle. Just dead weight against my chest. I keep the bearhug tight for one more second, breathing heavily, sweat pouring down my body while the crowd roars in shock. Then I hear the referee yelling and rushing toward us. “Let him go! LET HIM GO!” I slowly loosen my grip and release you. Your body slides lifelessly from my arms and collapses onto the floor at my feet without any tension left in it. For a moment I just stand there over you, chest heaving violently, staring down while the crowd completely loses its mind. Then I raise one arm slowly toward the fans.

11:37 Dan_S-J: After a few seconds I open my eyes and realise that you are celebrating. I take a deep breath in filling my lungs with much needed air. Struggling to even move as I want to get up.

12:24 Adam_the_strong_guy: I hold the massive double biceps pose for the roaring crowd, every muscle pumped and shining under the arena lights. Then I notice movement below me. You’re awake. Barely breathing hard, trying to recover enough strength to move again. I slowly lower my arms and look down at you with a tired grin crossing my face. “Heh… tough bastard…”

12:25 Adam_the_strong_guy: I crouch beside you and grab a handful of your hair, not violently now, but firmly, helping pull you slowly back up onto shaky legs while the crowd keeps cheering around us. “You pushed me harder than anybody in a long time, Dan.” I keep one arm around your shoulder to steady you as we stand near the barricade. “But tonight…” I smirk and tap my chest once. “…the monster won.”
