The Rematch
Sam/Eric vs Bill/Joel
A Father/Son Misadventure
By

Sam was a seasoned wrestler and had been training his son,
Eric, to compete in professional wrestling matches. Sam, who stood at 5’11” and weighed 208
pounds, had been in the business for years and was very successful. He had always wrestled as a “face” or good
guy. His son was also 5’11” but weighed
slightly less at 200 pounds. However, his muscular development was much more evident
than his father's, as you could practically see every striation, especially in his
abs. Sam was also nicknamed the “Energizer Bunny” because he just kept going.
For Eric's professional debut, he teamed up with his
father against the heel tag team of Bill/Joel.
Bill and Joel were just beginning to make a name for themselves, and though
labeled a “heel” team, they were neither notorious nor over-the-top about
it. That is, until the match with Sam
and Eric. They had isolated Eric using
every legal and illegal advantage they could, and proceeded to try to destroy
his muscles, especially his abs. They
had succeeded, and Eric had pleaded for them to stop abusing his abs. Before they had agreed to stop the match,
they had even used Sam to provide more abuse to Eric’s abs.
Eric was in rough shape both physically and mentally, but
his father and his trainer, Aaron, managed to bring him back to his usual
self. While he had learned a hard lesson
about pro wrestling, he had survived it, if only barely. He soon returned to training matches and a
few tag matches, but Sam was careful to make sure their opponents were less
experienced. He needed to rebuild Eric’s confidence.
Needless to say, Sam was furious with Bill and Joel’s
abuse of his son's body and his mind, but was also highly pissed that they had
managed to use him to further the abuse of Eric. He knew that a reckoning was coming; he just
needed to make sure Eric was ready for it.
But he continued to seethe.
