Did this match live up to my expectations? No. Why not? I'll explain in more detail, but if you're lactose-intolerant, you might want to avoid this, due to excessive cheesiness.
It's pro vs. pro when Flash battles Zip. |
Zip Zarella is newer, but I have liked him in other videos. He's cute, lean and smooth, rocking his all-red look. His red shiny trunks looks stunning on him and his hair is perfect for pulling. Despite being aesthetically terrific, there is a problem for me.
Underrated Flash impresses again. |
Zip's smooth, lean body makes a great wrestling dummy. |
Context is for the weak. |
This is a match that is better to see than to hear. Unfortunately, Zip went to the "Luke Lonza School of Jobbery". He constantly talks in a cornball way. The worst is how the young stud seems to think this is an old timey radio broadcast. He often says what I can see, which diminishes the hold. I find it especially annoying because Flash is such an amazing heel.
Zip’s submissiveness just rings false. His offer to never wrestle again comes out of nowhere. Even the dialogue that might read okay sounds so cheesy the way it's delivered. Although I don't think, “Show me your true power, huh? You're hiding it.” could have ever sounded right. He calls Flash a sadist, a monster and sick at weird times. It's like the kind of thing a masochist would say, trying to encourage his dom to go harder.
The worst part is at the beginning where everything is unnecessary narration. Flash mocks him for it, but I seriously almost turned it off. If you can make it through the first third, Zip does settle down in the middle. He moans more and talks less. As we approach the end, Zip resumes the chatter, but by then, I was okay, able to focus on the wrestling.
I don't need to be told that he's breaking your back. I can see that he's breaking your back. |
I don't need to be told that he's bending you like a pretzel. I can see that he's bending you like a pretzel. |
I don't need to be told that he's strong. I can see that he's strong. |
As a wrestler, Zip does a good job taking the bumps and getting twisted and bent. He's a flexible guy who can make everything look painful and devastating. He plays weakness well. And he struggles right. Little things, like knowing when and how to open his legs on the mat show that he's got great instincts. So no complaints on Zip's wrestling performance at all.
Flash has the moves that make me happy. |
Maybe this will shut Zip up. |
If not, this definitely will. |

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

What is a “climb of shame”?
ReplyDeleteThat's the term I use for when an exhausted wrestler uses his opponent's body to try to get to his feet. I used it in a review for Cason vs. Blayne and everyone loved it, so I keep using it. There's an accelerated GIF of it there.
