Cesaro vs Titan

Pacing back and forth, the titanic villain waited impatiently to be handed the microphone. His massive frame, red trunks and dyed red mohawk were an intimidating sight, especially considering his undefeated match history. Finally, snatching the microphone from the announcer's hands he paused, waiting for the chorus of boooos to clear.

"I have defeated....no destroyed all your weak, American wrestlers. Is there no one in this country

who can put up a real fight?" He mocked, drawing the heat from the crowd.

"Well maybe it will just take someone from Europe to kick your ass" - a voice boomed over the speakers as the Swiss Superman's music began to play.

Cheers erupted from all corners of the arena as Antonio Cesaro burst from the back stage, and strutted confidently down the ramp.

The world champion smiled wickedly as he took in the sight of tonight's opponent. Cesaro was powerful, with a body that looked like it had been sculpted from marble had it not been for the hair on his chest and legs. The Swiss's attire: simple brief-style trunks that showed off his physique perfectly.

Still holding the microphone, Titan didn't flinch, "I will break you piece by piece until you beg me to stop. And when you do, I will continue to crush you until there is nothing left".

Undaunted by Titan's threat, the swiss superhero just pointed to his adversary and made a promise of his own, "I'm coming for that belt Titan. Before the night is done, I'm going to be the new Heavy Weight Champion of the world!"

The fans screamed wildly in support, hoping and praying that Cesaro could do what no other man could. Was he strong enough to take down the evil Russian and could he avoid finding himself in the famous bearhug that had finished off so many heroes before him?

Everyone was soon to find out!

As Cesaro climbed into the ring, and before the bell had even sounded, Titan pounced, driving his big knee straight into the baby-face's gut. The force of the blow was so strong, that Cesaro was lifted from the floor and sent hurtling into the corner.

"It isn't starting good for Cesaro," the commentator said, as the bell finally went. "You can't give a man like Titan any openings or he's just going to bulldoze you!"

"You can say that again," his associate agreed, as he watched Titan begin to pummel the swiss- superman with a flurry of rights and lefts. "How many times have we seen Titan just dominate his opponents?"

"More often than I can count. He's been toe-to-toe with some of the greats of our sports, men like Lex Luger, Ultimate Warrior and on several occasions even Hulk Hogan! And each time, he's come out on top."

"He hasn't just come out on top, he steamrolled them all. I never thought I'd see the Great Hulk Hogan so easily manhandled and systematically destroyed, but each time they squared off, you heard the Hulkster say it - "the man is too strong".

"Cesaro is brave to want to fight the man that ended Hulkamania."

Back in the ring, Cesaro was beginning to feel first-hand the power of Titan. The champ had torn into him with jabs to his muscular body forcing him to all but collapse in the corner.

Titan didn’t relent. Grabbing Cesaro by the throat, Titan pulled him back to his feet. Spun him around and planted a thundering forearm to the stud's lower back.

"Ahhhhhh" Cesaro groaned, as he instinctively clutched at his back, while he tried to get distance between him and Titan. He needed time to regroup and refocus. Unfortunately, time was not a

luxury he had. Titan was eager to make the muscle hunk pay and he didn't plan to waste a single second while he had Cesaro in the ring with him.

Grabbing a handful of the man's briefs, Titan pulled Cesaro backwards into another forearm to the back, eliciting another scream of pain. Over and over he continued the same attack, until the hero finally fell to one knee. Cesaro's handsome face was already twisted in agony and the match had barely started.

Titan laughed as he watched the so called "Swiss Superman" struggle, trying to muster the strength to get back up.

"I think I prefer you on the mat," he spat, as he leapt into the air, bringing his enormous knee down onto Cesaro's back.

"MY BACK!" The stud in the white briefs hollered as he crashed face first into the mat.

The crowd booo'd loudly, trying to take some of Titan's steam away, but the heel didn’t need their support. Punishing Cesaro's powerful body was all the incentive he needed.

"No, no," Cesaro protested as he was set up for a suplex. He knew that with the combination of Titan's height and power, the suplex was going to hurt like Hell....and it did.

Without hesitation, the mad Russian swung the muscle-stud up and over, driving him down into the mat with a sickening thud!

The crowd winced as Cesaro screamed out, his back obviously causing him problems after the abuse it had received.

"it's not look good for the Swiss Superman is it?" The announcer noted, "What can Cesaro do to get back into this match?"

"I don’t know, but if he doesn't think of something fast, I think we may see him end up in that famous bearhug of Titan's".

Cesaro had managed to crawl to the ropes, but it didn't offer him any respite. Titan came down on him like a crashing asteroid, once again focusing on his lower back, undoubtedly softening him up for his signature finisher.

"Get him off of me" Cesaro groaned as he clung to the rope.

"Alright, break it off!" The ref commanded, pushing Titan back.

The villain complied, having no real reason to press the attack. Cesaro was down and he wouldn't be moving too fast after the beating he had just received.

"If you think your back is in pain now, wait for what I will do to you," Titan mocked, as he grabbed Cesaro's boot and dragged the defenceless hero back into the middle of the ring.

Reaching down, the champ began to lock the stud's legs up into a Clover-Leaf submission.

"No NO,!" Cesaro fought as best he could to break free but the Russian's grip was like steel and it didn't take long before Titan was able to spin him over and lock in the hold.

Cesaro's body was bent and twisted and when Titan bore down with his full weight, the handsome hero could do nothing by scream in agony.

"Do you give Cesaro?" The ref asked, seeing the sheer anguish he was in.

"No no. I won't give.....oh god...no, no"

Cesaro did his best to try and fight through the pain, but the longer Titan kept him in the hold, the less strength he could muster. The pain in his back was unbearable, but he wouldn't give up. He couldn't throw away his chance at the title or disappoint all the fans that were cheering him on.

Finally, digging deep, the handsome stud managed to use his arms to slowly drag himself forward, inch by inch getting closer to the ropes. And just when he was a second from being within reach, Titan simply released the hold.

The camera panned over Cesaro, capturing the pain the man was feeling.

"You think I would let the match end so soon Cesaro?" Titan taunted as he slowly circled above. I am just starting with you, you puny "Superman" he spat the word, before tugging Cesaro back to his feet. With a hand on the back of his neck and one grabbing a fist-full of Cesaro's skimpy tights, Titan chucked Cesaro over the top-rope and onto the hard, concrete floor like he weighed nothing.

Cesaro's back crashed against the hard, unforgiving concrete just exacerbating the injuries from before.

The fans in the front row could see just how bad a state their man was in. Cesaro twitched and moaned, but didn't seem to have any strength left to get back into the ring.

"You ok? Did you injure yourself?" The ref asked, checking if Cesaro could even continue the match. He half wished the baby-face would just say yes, because he knew well enough what was in-store for Antonio if he continued on.

"I'm fine, I'm fine," he lied bravely, all the while clutching that his throbbing back.

Deciding that he had waited long enough for his opponent to get back up, Titan took matters into his own hands. He jumped from the ring and pulled Cesaro onto the mat, but outside the ropes. Lifting the hunk, he splayed Cesaro's arms out , exposing every inch of Cesaro for the punishment he was about to inflict.

Cesaro's muscular, sweaty body was put on display as Titan pulled him back against the ropes, before bringing his club like hands down across the hero's strong chest.

Cesaro groaned, but the villain kept him locked in position, and this time sent his fist reeling into the small of Cesaro's back once more.

"You can see the utter pain Cesaro is in" the commentator said as the stud collapsed unto the mat.

Before his colleague could add anything, Titan sprinted against the ropes to build momentum and did a slide kick right into the hero's back, sending him flying off the mat and back onto the harsh concrete.

"My back....oh God, my back"

Cesaro writhed uncontrollably, unable to mask the agony he was in. Titan was having his way with him and Cesaro had no idea how to stop the sadistic Russian.

"I've got to call the match Cesaro, I don’t think you can continue" the ref said, coming down to inspect the baby-face. "You're hurt too bad".

"No!" Cesaro barked, his fighting spirit preventing him from throwing in the towel. "I'm not going to quit!"

The ref looked hesitant, but Cesaro managed to shake his head 'no' to emphasize his point.

Against his better judgment the ref let the match continue and helped Cesaro back onto the mat.

Though Cesaro had managed to get back into the ring, that also meant that he had served himself up on a plate to the waiting champ. With no strength to resist, Cesaro was helpless as the villainous Titan pulled him upright and locked him in a 'Rock-Bottom' type position. With his free hand, Titan grabbed onto Cesaro's speedos preparing him for the devastating move he was about to inflict on the hero.

"I promised I would break you"

As if the muscular hunk weighed nothing, Titan hoisted Cesaro up into a 'Rock Bottom' but instead of completing the move, he turned it into a back-breaker, bringing the man down across his waiting knee.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGG" Cesaro screamed in pain. It was the most pain he had ever felt and he was sure that Titan had broken his back. Next to him, the villain simply laughed in his ear. "You brought this on yourself challenging me"

Never releasing the hold, he pulled Cesaro back up to his feet and proceeded to repeat the gruesome move. The crowd watched silently as their Swiss hero was flung high into the air only to fall back down across Titan's knee

Cesaro's world went black as pain like never before filled his body, clouding out all of his senses. Never in his career had he been in such a dire position and never in his life had a man inflicted so much pain and punishment on him.

"Oh god...oh god

.......oh god," He moaned helplessly as he convulsed in the middle of the ring.

As Titan watched Cesaro's muscular body twitch and spam, a smiled crossed his face. He motioned for the announcer to give him the microphone.

"Look at the so called Swiss-Superman!" His voice boomed out through the arena as he pointed at Cesaro. I have broken and beaten him just like I have done all who came before him."

The crowd's response was a resounding boooo and the start of a cheer 'CE-SAR-O'!

Titan remained unfazed. "You still cheer him? I will show you how weak and pathetic Cesaro is"

Cesaro's battered body still lay in the middle of the ring, waiting helplessly for Titan to make good on his promise.

With a mighty roar, the champ raised his size 12 boot high into the air, and slammed it down with all his might right into Cesaro's lower back.

The hero had no fight left in him. Titan had literally just stamped it out of him, leaving him completely vulnerable for what was about to happen next.

"Oh no, Titan is slapping on a Camel Clutch" The announcer said.

"This is the end right here, there is no way Cesaro will get out of this."

The crowd watched on in horror as their Swiss hero was easily manoeuvred into the devastating submission hold.

Just like with the Clover Leaf before, all of Titan's 200 plus lbs sat across Cesaro's already pulverized back, and the champs massive tree-trunk-like arms pulled back as hard as they could across Cesaro's face, bending the stud in two.

Cesaro groaned as his powerful body was wrenched backwards, sending wave after wave of pain through his entire being.

Cesaro's face was a canvas of agony. He body had been pushed and punished beyond its limits and he knew there was not much more he could take. The pain was too much for any man to bare and any second now, it felt like Titan was going to rip him in two.

"Oh god....the pain is too much....oh my god...."

"Do you give Cesaro? Do you want to tap?" The ref asked, seeing the hero seemingly had nothing left.

However, to the ref's complete shock, Cesaro managed to shake his head. "I'll never give up. Oh god.....No, I won't give".

Titan roared and just pulled back harder, though he was secretly delighted that Cesaro had enough grit and bravery to continue. It just meant that Titan could punish that fantastic body of his that much more.

Realizing that Cesaro would never have the strength to break free, Titan ended the hold, but not before whispering another threat into the stud's ear: "I want to hear you beg"

"The ref is checking to see if Cesaro is ok to continue. If it were up to me, I'd end the match. Titan is going to seriously hurt that man right there".

"I'm afraid I've got to agree with you. Cesaro hasn't really been able to launch an offence this entire match and the longer it goes on, the more and more chance there is that Titan does some lasting damage."

The enormous Russian waited patiently for Cesaro to eventually stagger to his knees. He loved every second of watching the handsome Cesaro struggle and groan, all the while knowing what he had in store for him.

"I have fought many brave and strong men, Cesaro," Titan jeered, as he pulled the stud up by the neck. "And each one I have crushed into oblivion"

There it was – Titan's famous bearhug!

Cesaro cried out, unprepared for how devastating the hold was. He had seen everyone, including the great Hulk Hogan. fall to this submission, but never could he have guessed just how bad it was until he found himself in the vice-like grip of Titan.

"ARGGGGGGGGG" he screamed, as Titan shook him like a rag doll. There was no way he could last in

this hold....he couldn't take it....he was going to have to subm.....

A gasp from the crowd as Titan dropped Cesaro, and let the stud crumble to the mat.

"My ribs....my back....oh god....it hurts to bad" Cesaro moaned as he rolled into a ball, unable to

even move.

Bending down, Titan leaned over his enemy and smiled widely, "I wanted you to know what it felt like. Wanted you to know what kind of pain is coming. But I don’t want to end you yet Cesaro. I want to continue to work over your body until you are in so much pain that you will consider never wrestling again".

Dragging Cesaro up by his speedos, Titan prepared to put Cesaro in another bearhug when something completely surprising happened. Digging deep, Cesaro bravely pushed through all the pain and punishment he had suffered and managed to spring into action.

As Titan drew close for the bearhug, Cesaro kicked him straight in the gut, forcing the champ to bend low, setting him up perfectly for the Equalizer!

"I DON’T BELIEVE IT! I DON’T BELIEVE IT!" The announcer screamed, jumping out of his seat. "Are we about to see Cesaro with the Equalizer on the world champ?"

Cesaro managed to clamp the hold in and even got Titan a few inches of the ground, but his comeback quickly ended there. Titan was so heavy and muscular, and Cesaro's back was in such pain that he didn't have the strength to complete the move.

"I'm going to make you PAY FOR THAT!" Titan screamed has he quickly gathered his wits about him. He came back with a kick of his own, and when Cesaro buckled, Titan pounced, hoisting him up into a Canadian Backbreaker!

Cesaro screamed and his body convulsed wildly as Titan bounced him up and down across his broad shoulder.

"This has got to be it, ladies and gentlemen. Antonio Cesaro has put up a brave fight, but TItan is just too much for him on this night," the commentator said dryly as he watched the man in the white briefs continue to be utterly dominated by the villain in red.

"Look! Look!," the other commentator cut him off, "The ref is checking but AGAIN Cesaro is saying no! The man just will not quit! Just how much can one man take?"

"You've got to give it to him, I don’t think there's a lot of people who could go toe-to-toe with Titan and last this long. However this turns out, Cesaro has definitely proven why he's the number one contender".

Again, TItan knew that he had the man's number and could keep Cesaro in the back-breaker until he passed out. But what fun would that be? No, he wanted to really make the Swiss hunk pay before the night was through.

Flipping Cesaro across is shoulder, Titan placed him back on the mat, but once again in a crouching position. Placing the hunk's head between his legs, Titan took a moment to mock Cesaro as he gave a Roman-Gladiator style 'thumbs-down' to the crowd.

"I think I know what's coming. We've seen TItan do this before he finished off Hulk Hogan".

Sure enough, the commentator was right. In the blink of an eye, Titan hoisted Cesaro up and slammed the man down into one of the most gruesome power-bombs the audience had ever seen.

Cesaro's body convulsed uncontrollably as he lay broken in the middle of the squared-circle.

The stud knew at that moment that he had been 100% outmatched by the evil Russian. Titan had manhandled him from the moment the bell hand rung and had just put the nail in Cesaro's coffin with the power-bomb.

"Cesaro, you've got to throw in the towel," the ref said concerned, as he bent down.

The handsome baby-face could barely make out the man's words, so distracted was he by the sheer anguish coursing through his muscular, sweaty body.

"Oh god," Cesaro moaned, "the pain...."

"I can call the match Cesaro"

"N....no," he groaned, while desperately clutching at his injured back. "I told you, I'd never give up".

"The man's going to hurt you Cesaro," the ref pleaded, trying to get the stud to reconsider.

"Never....give up"

Having enjoyed the sight of Cesaro's perfect body lying destroyed in the centre of the ring, Titan finally came forward and slowly bent down so he was face to face with his defeated enemy.

"Never will you quit?" He asked. "I have made Lex Luger quit. I have made Tatanka quit, Razor Ramon, Hercules and even the legendary Hulk Hogan. Do you think you will do any better?"

"I'll never submit to you Titan," Cesaro managed to say through a cough.

"You silly Swiss-Superman, I will be your Kryptonite" Titan laughed as he pulled Cesaro back to his feet.

As if in slow motion, the muscle-hunk in the white briefs could only watch as Titan slowly wrapped his cannon-like arms around his waist once more. A split second later, he was lifted from the mat and pain like never before filled his senses.

He had endured the bearhug earlier in the night, but having suffered through the back-breaker and then the power-bomb, the hold felt that much worse. Never had Cesaro thought so much pain was possible. Titan's grip was like a boa constrictor and slowly crushing the life out of him.

"ARGGGHHHHHH," Cesaro released a dire scream, unable to withstand the pain that surged through him.

"Look at the anguish the Swiss Superman is in" the commentator lamented. "He needs to give up so that he survives to fight another day".

"Cesaro's bravery might just be his undoing. He needs to remember that this is the bearhug that put the Hulkster on the shelf for months! If he doesn't give up soon, he'll end up with broken ribs or worse".

Back in the ring, Cesaro would have been wise to heed the commentators' advice. Unfortunately, the man had a fighting spirit like no other and was trying to hold out as best he could.

"Do you give?!"

"Never....Never give up" he whimpered, as his body began to tremble and spasm from the sheer

force of the hold. Cesaro could feel every inch of Titan's steely-frame squeezing the life out of him and as he cried out, Titan simply laugh.

Cesaro's heart plummeted as he realized just how futile the situation was. TItan was laughing and had barely broken a sweat, meanwhile Cesaro had suffered more on this night than he had in his entire career. He had fought with all his heart and strength and Titan had shrugged it off and manhandled him as if it were nothing. Cesaro couldn't believe that a man was able to so fully dominate him as Titan had on this night.

"I will end your career Cesaro" Titan promised as he released the hold to watch the hunk crumble to the floor.

Cesaro moaned loudly as his clutched his ribs and back, trying desperately to fight off the never ending waves of pain.

The crowd BOOOOO'd again loudly, but it was no use. Everyone knew that Cesaro had been bested and that it was just a matter of time before Titan finished him off once and for all.

As if to emphasize the point, Titan nudged Cesaro onto his back and placed one boot across the man's heaving chest. There he posed, triumphant over the destroyed Swiss Hero who lay broken at his feet.

Once again, Titan motioned for the microphone and waited for the crowd's taunts to subside. "Your Boooo's have sealed the fate of your beloved Antonio Cesaro. Let this be a warning to all those who come next".

Throwing the microphone aside, Titan grabbed a fist-full of Cesaro's trunks and tugged the man back up to his feet.

"Not again!" The commentator said, as Titan slapped on the bearhug one final time.

Cesaro's head shot back and his back arched – the hero was helpless with no defence against the Titan's onslaught.

"Oh GOD!" He screamed so loud that even the fans sitting in the nose-bleed sections could hear. Cesaro could feel every last ounce of strength he had in his once powerful, muscular body drain away. And as he grew weaker and weaker, it seemed like the villainous Titan only became more powerful, squeezing him harder and harder.

Cesaro moaned in agony, unable to believe that any man could be so strong.

The camera panned around the ring, capturing every angle of the hero as he was being crushed to death by the evil champ.

Before Titan had joined the Wrestling Federation, never did anyone expect to see a man as strong and athletic as Antonio Cesaro be so utterly and completely destroyed by an opponent. But the evidence was right before their eyes: The Swiss Superman hung helpless in Titan's arms, moaning and screaming in agony.

"Give up Cesaro! You are finished" Titan commanded as he tightened the already impossibly hard bearhug.

"No.no....no" Cesaro kept moaning as his body was jostled side to side like a rag doll. But while he

continued to fight on, deep down, Cesaro knew how helpless it was. Every fibre of his being screamed at him to quit and end the suffering. He had been manhandled and punished in a way that Cesaro thought no man could do to him.

"Oh god....oh god......it hurts so bad" he screamed as the camera zoomed in. The hunk's handsome

face contorted as Titan squeezed more.

"I want to hear you beg Cesaro! I want to hear you scream"

"My back! Oh god.....I'll never give up" Cesaro promised once again. The hero bravely continued to

fight and even the crowd once again began to chant his name 'CE-SAR-O'.

"You hear them calling for you?" Titan mocked, "they believe in their Swiss Superman, but in the end, there is nothing you can do but SUFFER!"

Titan's words rang true. Even with the fans behind him, Cesaro still could not fight out of the hold. With ever second longer in the bearhug, Cesaro could feel his life bleeding out.

"He's too strong," Cesaro finally conceded. "Oh god, he's just to strong" Still however, Cesaro was trying to hold on.

With a mighty roar, Titan summoned up energy Cesaro could not believe he still had and amped up the pressure of the bearhug. The hero in the white briefs screamed in agony as the fans watched their man be crushed into oblivion.

Titan was indeed just too strong, Cesaro thought as the final spark of fight died deep within him, snuffed out by the never-ending pain of the villain's bearhug. It was not only Cesaro's body that had reached its limit but also his spirit. He had trained so hard and for long and still Titan had just dominated him from start to finish. The Russian had worked him over as no man ever had in his entire career and now he was in more pain than he thought possible. "I can't beat this man...he's just too much for me," Cesaro whimpered, "I've never been manhandled like this...."

Titan could feel that the man was through. Cesaro had lasted longer than almost anyone had in his hold, but not even the Swiss Superman could break free of it. "You are beaten and broken Cesaro, show them all this is true"

Cesaro moaned loudly as his muscular body trembled.

"I can squeeze you all night Cesaro. I enjoy nothing more than feeling you slowly draining away in my arms!"

The villain had bested him and Cesaro could hold out no more. So bad was the pain that even a hero with a heart as big as Cesaro's could withstand it no longer. With both his body and spirit crushed beyond belief, Cesaro had no choice but to tap feebly against the big man's shoulders.

"I can't beat him....oh god....he's too strong...no more....I can't take anymore".

The fans watched silently as their handsome, Swiss Hero finally submitted, overwhelmed by the pain and agony that had been inflicted on him.

Titan kept the hold on a few seconds longer, until Cesaro eventually past-out before finally letting the stud collapse to the mat.

Once again, Titan posed like an evil, unbeatable god atop the Cesaro's broken and destroyed body. Titan had given Cesaro the beating of his life and had likely put the man on the side-lines for the weeks to come.

The Swiss Superman had indeed met his Kryptonite...
