Why? Well, in many ways, Billy the Kid vs. Talon is the match I wanted Beast vs. Talon to be. It's a fast-paced, hard-hitting bout that does more in 11 minutes than Beast vs. Talon did in 21. The domination is hotter. The action is better. And the guys seem more into it. Despite being more like a mini-match, I just enjoyed it a lot more.
Thunders Arena knocked it out of the park for me here. I'd definitely recommend this one. So instead of leaving a lukewarm review up for a couple of days, I decided to come back right away with this.
Big boys going at it hard |
Talon and Billy are gorgeous. Talon’s in his standard blue squarecuts, flipping and flopping around. No pro boots, but his red sneakers work fine. Billy is in full pro gear, with tight trunks stretched on his beefy body and black pads and pro boots.

Billy knows to open up |
Talon looks great, but there's very little flexing, which makes me happy |
Billy slaps on a tight crossfire and Talon sells it perfectly |
Spread 'em, Talon! |
When big Billy goes down after a mere hip toss and lies there moaning, I did think, "uh oh, here we go again." But no! The action picks up immediately. There aren’t really any slow moments, with only a couple brief pauses. It's almost like I edited it down myself.
It does feel like one guy is more dominant, but not a ton. I didn't time it, but I'd say that it’s pretty back and forth, with both guys going on a run of multiple moves before they switch. Highlights include a long-held full nelson, bearhug and the winner coming back to deliver more punishment, forcing another submission.

I enjoyed this 30-second full nelson |
Talon loves to thrust his hips out as he dominates a sweaty and shiny Billy |
Billy gets it - he knows that when you're in a ring, use pro power moves |
So that's my take. What's yours? Any thoughts?

This was, as you said, much better than Talon's go against Beast. This was the first match where I've seen Billy wrestle and I was surprised at how sexy he was since he certainly does not have the hottest body. He and Talon played well off each other and I will definitely be watching this again.
ReplyDeleteAppreciate the comment. Good to hear from another fan of this match. That's great that you found Billy sexy. I agree, but I started out loving his pro wrestler body and gear. I like hearing that he won someone over who doesnt necessarily have the same taste.
DeleteDo you know if Talon has social media accounts or other works?
