Review: Jersey vs. Dozer (Thunder's Arena)

Let me state clearly and unequivocally: I still like Jersey. I liked him in this match. I like his body and look. I like his personality. And I like how he turns red whenever he exerts himself. Thunder's Arena is teasing a match versus Tak, which I am very likely to buy.

Why am I stating this at the start?

Well, because when I bought Jersey vs. Dozer, I expected to write all about Jersey. Thing is, now I'm all about Dozer.

Pre-sweat

Post-sweat

Where did this guy come from? Why did I never notice him before? He has 22 videos over at Thunder's. And yet I seriously don't think I've read one review about him.

Wow, I like this

I haven't read one blog post about his fun attitude or engaging personality on the mat. Nothing on his magnificently beefy muscled body. I'm not recalling hearing about his massive pecs, biceps or his mountainous posterior. And I don't remember reading anyone waxing rhapsodic about his stunning smile or his smooth, dark skin.

How does this go unappreciated?

The match starts out with some chatter and flexing between the two studs. I'm focused on the 'adorkable' Jersey, barely paying attention to the other side of the screen. Then they start wrestling. Suddenly, the massive Dozer is front and center. My loyalty switches fast and I'm waiting for the next move where I can see more of this big, beautiful bodybuilder.

The moment where I realize Dozer's really hot

The shiny gear forces you to look

In this match, it's Dozer's gear that shines. Literally. The tiny metallic poser briefs pop against his rich, dark skin. When the guys start sweating (which happens suddenly after a cut, so they might've been helped along), Dozer is reflecting beautifully from head to toe.

I feel like I'm channeling Bard by focusing a paragraph on a wrestler's ass, but it deserves it (and more). It's awesome. This muscle stud clearly doesn't skip leg day. The big mounds of grade A beef are smooth and tanned, hypnotically jiggling and flexing. The tiny trunks even ride up just right. I was transfixed every time it's on screen, wanting more. Wow.

Love that butt

Wardrobe malfunction?

Jersey trades out of the perfect red poser into a pair of squarecuts. They're okay, with the kind of pouch that thrusts his bulge forward. That's cool, but I think he should've brought his A-game against Dozer and these squarecuts aren't it. Dude, it's way too early in your Thunder's career to be phoning it in on the gear choice.

Jersey loses the battle of the gear

But he still looks great

This is a back-and-forth match, with Dozer slightly more dominant. However, as you can probably guess by my image choices, I think Dozer is at his best on the receiving end. That's one of the joys of this kind of wrestling - anyone can beat anyone if it makes a better (hotter) narrative. I know some guys want the logical 'big squashes small', but I like this kind of back-and-forth match.

Harder! Dozer can take it!

Love this hold

Squats with 235-lbs of beef

Dozer's not that flexible

Dozer is a lot of fun. He takes the match lightly, almost acting as a personal trainer, actually encouraging and challenging Jersey. The smaller stud is a little more serious, but he does get smiling a few times. When Dozer chokes Jersey out early on, he doesn't pin him or beat on him, he forces him to flex to wake him up. I'm not sure that sentence makes sense, but it's what happens.

Wakey-wakey

Shiny happy people

So most of the match, I'm pulling for Jersey to move the muscular Dozer into the right position and slap on a hot hold. And it happens enough that I'm damn happy. Jersey does struggle to move that much beef around. He is noticeably straining to keep Dozer on his shoulders. And I don't know if he ran out of ideas, but he repeats several moves.

That's a lot of man to move around

The match has the usual Thunder's Arena idiosyncrasies, like holds not held long enough and a random ending, but it didn't really impact my enjoyment.

Dozer: "I'm coming, Jersey! I'm coming!"
(actual quote from this moment)

The video quality is good. Maybe a little better than usual for Thunder's. I didn't notice the extreme close ups that are too extreme and I was able to follow the action pretty well. So, that's an improvement over some of their videos.

The value was good. It's 24 minutes and they start wrestling 1:20 into the video then go right to the end.

Overall, I enjoyed it. This match was a ton of fun. There's great chemistry between the two studs, especially the playful Dozer. I love being surprised and I definitely was. Now I need to check out other Dozer matches to see what's what with the big stud.

Am I late to the Dozer party? Have I just missed the love or am I the only one who’s impressed? And what do you think about our buddy Jersey? Weigh in with a comment!
