Review: Rhino x 2 (Thunders Arena)

I think it's fair to say that Thunders Arena entire brand is built on high quality musclemen. Still, I continue to be impressed by their ability to keep finding the hottest muscle studs. It's nothing short of remarkable. I'm already excited to see what they do with "Loki", a very familiar and very handsome model-bodybuilder.

Anyway, Rhino was the hot new guy a couple of months ago, but I can't always keep up. However, the chance to check him out finally arose, so I took the leap. While Thunders always finds the best beefcakes, that doesn't always result in the best matches.

Okay, Rhino, let's see what you've got ...
(beyond your cute face and perfect body)

Rhino vs. Joey King

Age old conflicts ... experience vs. youth,
skill vs. power.

This video builds off a match against Scrappy, which I didn't get, but I don't think it's necessary. Rookie Rhino's feeling good after beating Scrappy. Joey King wants him to pull back. In the pro wrestler's eyes, beating the little guy isn't that big an accomplishment. Certainly not enough to warrant Rhino's confidence that he can jump into a ring match. Of course, wrestling is the only way to settle things.

Action-wise, this is a pretty standard living room mat match. It's back-and-forth grappling with body displaying moves, knockouts and posing. I like the added story, as it adds some tension. Rhino's personality is remarkably quiet for a stunning muscleman. Joey's cocky pro trainer persona carries things, especially as he gives the inexperienced rookie some 'real world' experience. Eventually, one guy proves he was right in the beginning.

Rhino looks good helpless.

Nice to see the boys having fun.

Joey knows how to give the fans what they want.

Sometimes power can't be resisted.

So pretty. So naive.

Rhino vs. Eagle

It's all about the squeeze.

This is a simple video. Eagle's mad at Rhino. Rhino's confused about why. Squeezing ensues. There's not a lot more to this one. Holds are pretty much limited to multiple scissors, a suspended choke, a bearhug and a stretch. I definitely could've handled more action, but the holds a long-held as the guys get crushed.

The guys are awesome looking. Rhino looks bigger than before, wearing his extra beef well. Unfortunately, he's in patterned underwear that stretches to his knees. Suppressing those tree trunk thighs and that mountainous ass borders on criminal, but the legs ride up the legs, at least. Eagle's a massive powerhouse in his briefs.

Two big sexy boys.

Heads get squeezed, too.

Big Rhino's extra beef can't protect him.

Both guys feel the rib-crushing power.

... long after the scissors are over.

In the end, I don't think I picked the best videos to check out Rhino. He's a gorgeous hunk of man, but I wasn't 'wowed'. Neither video has a memorable, signature moment in them like the climb of shame in Cason's debut. I did like the Joey King one for Joey's personality and some of the holds are hot. The Eagle one was a little too limited for me.

What are other bloggers saying?

RINGSIDE: RHINO

Have you seen these? What did you think? Or have you seen more of the big muscleman? Are there other Rhino videos that I should check out?
