Review: Jet vs. Talon 2 (Thunders Arena)

I don't often buy re-matches, but there are a few exceptions. Jet vs. Talon 2 is probably the most unusual one, because it doesn't involve one of my absolute must-buy guys. Yes, I like Talon a lot and I've enjoyed watching Jet, but once might have been enough for this pairing. However, Thunders had a sale, I had curiosity and I did buy the second Jet vs. Talon match after all. Boy, I'm very glad I did.

This match features a ripped Talon. He's a handsome man so he always looks stunning. However, while I often like guys who're more fluffy and more beefy, this is my favorite Talon. He returns to going commando in his classic blue trunks, which I wholeheartedly approve. The gorgeous stud fits them amazingly well and they're always fun to watch, like a show unto themselves.

Opposite him, Jet looks good in the blue square cuts he's worn before with the small, but pointy pouch. He's nowhere near as ripped as Talon, but I love his smooth muscles. He's cute and brings a little charm to this match, especially when he's on top.

Talon calls this the bow and arrow, just like me!

Ripped and powerful, it's my favorite Talon look

over-the-knee backbreaker

This is a custom video, so the action is highly focused for all 25 minutes of action. It's a ton of sleepers with nelsons, bearhugs and scissors. There are a couple of crucifixes and a backbreaker. And Talon becomes my hero by not only doing my version of a bow and arrow, but also calling it a bow and arrow and explaining why.

It's a surprisingly long match for Thunders, over 28 minutes in total. It might feel repetitive at times, if not for the creativity, beauty and charisma of the wrestlers. I have to admit a great joy in seeing Talon knocked out by a cocky Jet. The fact that both guys go down over and over isn't a problem for me.

As well, Talon probably executes scissors better than anyone, especially with this gear and his body as ripped as it is in this match. So once again, the use of multiple scissors in at least four different positions is a plus for me. His standing head scissors is the best I've seen. I'm even in love with his very creative version with Jet upside down and bridging.

There's almost too much to take in with this hold

So while there might not be much variety for such a long video, there are a lot of moments that deliver. The studs recover from sleepers fast, ready to go again. They talk throughout and have chemistry. It's supposed to be a match to submission, but two submissions don't actually end it. It fittingly ends on a knockout, although why this one ends the match while the others didn't, well, don't think about that, just enjoy.

In the end, I liked this match a lot. It's actually better than the first one, which I also liked. You don't often get to see Talon this way, which makes this special. Of course he dominates a ton, as well, so this is the best of both worlds. Jet steps up to the task of battling one of Thunders best and he delivers his best performance yet.

So that's my take. What's yours?
