Review: Impact vs. Brock (Thunders Arena)

For my brief December trip down memory lane, I think I hit on a good one here. Impact from Thunders Arena is the perfect guy to look back at. His wrestling career ended before I was a blogger and he doesn't get a ton of coverage. Some of you might not even know who he is. But for a brief moment, damn, was he the finest thing around? Maybe not THE finest, but definitely one of the finest. And so, I decided to post about Impact vs. Brock because I think it's a great video for him.

Impact was a real shooting star.

I mainly remember Impact for his killer body and cocky attitude. Very Thunders. He only did six videos - four at the start then he returned for two more in bigger and balder form. Why he stands out over all the other Thunders hotties of the time is one of those mysteries of life, but it's not just me. He's listed on the Retired Wrestlers page near the top as a superstar (although he's beside Geo, so maybe take that with a grain of salt).

In this video, Impact looks his best. Not that he ever looks bad, but I love the low slung black shiny trunks. It highlights one of his best features, his Apollo's Belt, as the match goes on. Opposite him, Brock is a good contrast. Big and beefy, he's a cute football player type in a tiny blue poser. They're a good physical match, believably equal and competitive.

Feel free to keep pulling down those trunks.

Impact had everything you need to be a superstar.

Brock bends the sexy boy.

This 25-minute video has a classic Thunders setup. Brock's a cocky college boy who's ready to kick some ass. There's sort of a fraternity boy vs. outsider thing going on, but Impact is too good looking to be too much of an outsider. Still, there's clearly tension, like with a series of back-and-forth pec chops.

They mouth off for a little, but get to wrestling quickly. There's sexy chatter during the match, especially from Brock who mocks Impact whenever he has him trapped between those big legs.

Uh, yeah, that's a nice ... hold.

Impact: "Get ready, schoolboy. It’s about to get real."

College-boy Brock's a powerhouse, too. 

Impact: "Natural muscles aren’t doing shit now."

Action-wise, this is a fight. The standouts for me are the Brock's long-held scissor holds, so I pulled a lot of those images. Impact writhes and struggles, his head and lean waist repeatedly crushed between those thick thighs. In fact, the first half is mostly Impact getting squeezed, bent and put on display. His chest, torso, butt and biceps all look simply amazing in his barely-there trunks as he's punished.

Of course, Impact shows off his strength, with big bearhugs and his own squeezing, crushing holds. He's a dominant dude, but that's what makes Brock's moments of power and control even more impressive. Impact's short stint at Thunders positioned him as a powerhouse, but this is his most competitive match.

Brock: "You give, Impact? Because you’re looking
like a little bitch right now in front of everybody."

Brock: "You give?"

Impact: "You college boys are stupid. You keep
asking the same question not going to happen."

Brock: "This all you got?"
Impact: "It’s all I need for you."

In the end, Impact was a bit of a flash-in-the-pan with just four original matches, but what a flash. If you haven't checked him out, I'd recommend checking him out. He's hot, strong and a great character. Impact wrestles well, looking great giving and receiving tight holds. I think that Brock's his best opponent, if you're into more even battles, rather than squashes.

What did other bloggers say?
