Review: Joey King vs. Vinny (Thunders Arena)

Joey King: "I ain't gettin' beat by no dude in a banana hammock. Clearly, one of us is a pro and one of us is an amateur playing around in his underwear."

Gotta love Thunders Arena for videos like Joey King vs. Vinny. It's just the kind of thing only they can do. Of course, I knew I'd buy this one as soon as I saw it. Both these guys have had a good year with some real winning videos. Of course, there's never a guarantee the video will live up to the talent. So how did it go?

Joey and Vinny take a spin in the ring.

Vinny and Joey King both look their best here. Joey in trunks is the only thing that might've made this better, but really, these two are perfect hunks. Vinny looks so good these days. In his yellow posers, he's simply stunning as an 'amateur' in a pro's ring. And Joey's a beefy, hairy hunk that owns the ring just by standing there.

Sexy Joey is a perfect opponent for big Vinny.

My Two Dads. Woof.

Pairing these two up is an inspired and surprising idea. Vinny tends to stick to other 'amateurs'. He does face other big boys, but not usually the pros. I wondered about how his skill set would work with a pro, especially in the ring. Luckily, Joey has proven that he can work with anyone in any environment. These two end up working great together.

There's a natural chemistry and tension between two alpha male studs, because their alpha-ness is different. Joey's playful pro cockiness contrasts really well with Vinny's focused determination. Naturally, both these guys have every reason to be confident and they know it. Vinny's got the size (and claims of MMA skills), while Joey's a working pro wrestler. You want to see them clash and they do almost right away.

Overpowered and trapped.

Joey's a hunk, but Vinny's a muscle beast!

Is Joey reaching for me to help him?
Hm, I don't think so, hot stuff.

There's a pinfall before the three-minute mark, but you know that won't settle anything. The mocking only riles up the early loser and the video goes a total of 20 minutes. The sleepers, chokes, camel and nelsons are really hot. One guy is more dominant, but both guys get control and either could win in the end. A big power move ends it all, leaving one guy down for good and his hunky opponent flexing over him.

Ooh, somebody's been training in the ring. Love it!

Even the biggest guy will go down to that.

Does the pro handle the amateur in his underwear?

In the end, these two studs deliver. I pretty much loved everything about this video. It's watchable and re-watchable. I appreciate that both guys end up looking really good. Vinny is awesome and Joey makes a great opponent for him.
