Review: Cason vs. Scrappy (Thunders Arena)

And we're back with the second match I watched with hot the new guy at Thunders Arena. Cason impressed me in his match against Blayne. Can he do it again against Scrappy?

Cason is mowing down the hottest hunks at Thunders.

It doesn't get much hotter looking than Cason vs. Scrappy. Amazing bodies. Charming and charismatic personalities. Scrappy's in his perfect yellow and purple poser. Cason is in blue underwear. They seem like they're having fun. Things are intense, but playful, which is Scrappy's specialty.

I wonder if Cason is a fireman?
He carries Scrappy a lot.

Wouldn't be Thunders if you didn't
have a standing head scissors.

Scrappy's feeling pretty cocky these days. He's kind of the King of Thunders. Apparently, no one told Cason, so the two butt heads. They flex and pose for two minutes, trying to one up each other. The rookie breaks that up, grabbing the superstar stud in a powerful reverse bearhug. Advantage Cason. However, as we've seen before when Scrappy has faced guys like Viking and Joey King, the little guy lives up to his name.

Cason dominates fairly easily, but Scrappy's not one to lie down. He's feisty and keeps thinking he can take the larger rookie, ignoring how easily he's being manhandled. Anyway, you need to earn your win and take Scrappy down. And that's pretty much what Cason does with a series of big power moves. The only reason it's ever close is that the bigger hunk pauses to flex, leaving himself open for some dirty tricks.

Scrappy knows how to suffer.

And he knows how to take down a bigger man.

Nice butts, boys.

In terms of wrestling, Cason introduces some new elements in his repertoire. I like that there's variety in the action between his matches. It's still standard Thunders stuff, but he uses several moves here that he didn't use against Blayne. I always love a piledriver, plus classics like the camel clutch and Boston crab are always winners, too.

So it feels different than the first Cason match I watched, but there is a some repetition within the match. It feels like a lot, but it's really not. Other than two reverse bearhugs, everything else is done once except for two moves - there are at least three fireman's carries by Cason and three low blows by Scrappy.

As offense, Scrappy does go low. Near the end, Cason even arrogantly no sells a crotch claw. I guess his balls toughened up. This strategy makes sense, except Scrappy doesn't follow up. I get that they're pushing Cason as the hot new thing, but Scrappy's lack of follow-up when he has the big man down is a narrative miss, I think.

Not perfect, but I still love it.

Now that he's down, Scrappy, you need to ...

Never mind. This works, too.

In the end, these two Cason matches feel very back to basics for Thunders Arena. Like the Blayne match, it's a good match that's likely exactly what you expect it to be. Cason is following a familiar pattern, but he's doing it well. The rookie is charismatic, attractive and executes the holds well. Scrappy is fun and sexy, but mostly suppresses his skills (except for low blows) to allow the newbie to shine.

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