Review: Scrappy vs. Cap (Thunders Arena)

Newbie Cap faced great line-up of opponents during his debut week at Thunders Arena, but none bigger than Scrappy. It's a great opportunity, but there's also a risk of being overshadowed by his larger-than-life personality. Facing your buddy who's also still kind of new (Cason) or a jobber who's great with rookies (Blayne) is one thing, but this is the big leagues. So, does Cap rise to the occasion? Does Scrappy let him?

Cap gets his shot at Thunders biggest star.

"So far, [Scrappy's] appeared the least, just one match plus a brief mini-match (less than 7 minutes of action). This is too bad, because he seems to have a lot of potential." - From my first review of Scrappy on August 5 2016.

Talk about an understatement. I was right two years ago that Scrappy had potential, but even I couldn't have imagined how much. Physically, Scrappy's evolution from boy to muscleman has been dramatic. At 5'6"/160-lbs, he was ripped but small. Now, he's comparatively huge without losing any of his proportion and definition. Personality-wise, he's got unmatched swagger and arrogance to match his superstar status.

Scrappy vs. Cap is divided into two parts. It starts off as Thunders often does. The guys are sitting on the sofa. They're chatting. Egos emerge. Wrestling ensues. The whole video is back-and-forth, although Cap might be slightly more dominant. Still, both guys do well whether dominating or suffering.

In the first half, which happens in the living room, there's a ton of wrestling. I really love seeing Scrappy's amazing body put on display. You definitely see that with a great backbreaker. Cap pulls Scrappy's hair, which I always love. And Scrappy punishes the rookie with his legs and fists. The full nelson shows Cap off at his best.

I think somebody's into gut-punching.

He might be a rookie, but Cap's a fighter.

Scrappy's done with the living room.
Time to get serious.

Eventually, Scrappy has enough of the living room. He carries the rookie off to the garage. In the new setting, you get extended action. The holds are longer. There's flexing and showing off. There are bearhugs and scissors. Sleepers and knockouts. Some humping and domination. And more of the chemistry that made the first half fun.

The back-and-forth battle continues
and the bodies get more pumped.

Does Scrappy win in the end?

Or does the rookie topple the superstar?

In the end, this is the best of the three Cap matches I watched. This is a quintessential Thunders video with all the elements that made me a fan. Cocky young punks. Strong chemistry. Playful rivalry. Muscles in skimpy suits. Back-and-forth action that shows off those muscles. It's an amazing performance for both studs and definitely re-watchable.
