Of course, now that he's actually won a match, Xaq's ego will probably be more unbearable than usual.

And Spartan...wins...wait what???? Shocking....yet....Surprisingly Im ok with it. He beat Coreys ass, so Im ok with winning. Poor Cody and Jae cant no longer play with the Leather Briefs. Thats the thing about overconfidence! Even jobbers like XAQ can manage a win with the right motivation, which I guess what he needed. And I loved how he humiliated Corey! I wonder how thats going to affect Mimik's mindset. He got his ass handed to him by the jobber of jobbers.Loved Cody's narration and his reaction to both Corey and Spartan. Its like the two guys he despises the most against one another.

A bit that comes to mind is how oblivious Cody is to his own narcissism. This is really what takes your work from enjoyable erotic wrestling fiction to literature :)<br><br>I hope you have some more SuperStar stories coming out though, they are by far my favorite!

I'm trying to balance him evolving in a realistic way and at a believable pace while also remaining true to who he is. I don't want him to become a different character, but people should be impacted by what happens in their lives.

This quote:<br><br>"Spartan starts out strong, has control, but his arrogance costs him. He still hasn't even won a fall in four matches, despite all the muscles, strength and, yes, skill. At some point, it shifts from funny to pathetic."<br><br>Cody has always hated Spartan on principle. But Cody himself has gone through a lot since the last time we saw Xaq, and to suddenly find Cody feeling maybe even a little sympathetic is a pleasant surprise. For a story like this to have hot action that cranks my tractor AND little heart-warming character developments is really impressive! (Unless I'm reading too much into things...)<br><br>Happy to hear Xaq's coming back. His next match is going to be quite suspenseful; I have absolutely NO idea how it'll turn out for him!

It keeps with his Greek warrior theme, as the hold is a big part of Greek culture. There's the Greek myth in which Heracles/Hercules used the bearhug to defeat Antaeus; it's a classic hold in Greek pankration fighting and Greco-Roman wrestling; and it was a hold used on three different occasions in the "God of War" video game series, which chronicled the adventures of Kratos the Spartan (undead barbarians bearhugging Kratos, Kratos bearhugging siren widows, and Hercules bearhugging Kratos). I'm frankly surprised Spartan hasn't used the move in any of his matches yet, but seeing how much larger and more solid his physique has become now that he's no longer a teenager, I have a feeling we're going to see a lot more power moves and holds from our man Xaq!<br><br>Another fantastic story, man!

Physically he's definitely rounded the corner from "boy" to "man". You teased this story in your reply to one of my comments a few months ago (and again in a post a couple weeks ago), and I've been waiting for it ever since. It totally lived up to the hype! :)<br><br>I loved the suspended choke finisher, too. I'm hoping to see even more power moves from Spartan in future matches. A bearhug from him would be like getting crushed against an unyielding steel support beam! I was hoping that while Mimik had him in that body scissors Spartan would simply reach around Mimik's skinny waist, pull him up against his chest, and squeeze the life out of him right back!<br><br>Excellent writing as usual, man. Your style is so unique and descriptive that it's like we're actually there witnessing the action, and your character development is so amazing that it's like we know these characters personally.
