Review: Cason vs. Cap (Custom Series) (Thunders Arena)

Alex: It seems to me that a lot of custom video commissioners like seeing their favorites squashed. Is that your experience? If so, why do you think that is?

Marco: I would agree with that. They usually focus on the guy that they want to be the jobber. I think they connect with how the wrestler sells the pain, or on the other hand, how the jobber secretly loves the pain and asks for more in a non-verbal way.

We sure do like to hurt the guys we love, don't we? In my Q+A with Marco, he confirmed my long-held belief that commissioners are way more focused on who the jobber is and how he'll get crushed than they are about heel. Obviously, there's an art to punishing a guy that most of us appreciate, but when our money is on the line, it's all about that suffering stud.

One of my favorite thing about Thunders' commissions is the frequency of revenge themes. Guys love to use their money to bring down the big boys at the hands of the little guys. And so, when a Cason fan plunks down his hard-earned money to see him take a dive, it's a perfect scenario to give Cap his revenge on his bigger alpha male bro Cason.

It's a relationship reversal as Cap gets to own Cason.

Review: Vinny vs. Kasee/Cap vs. Gunnar (Thunders Arena)

I don’t think I’ve ever done five posts in a row that are all reviews from the same company before. But these Thunders Arena matches are the main videos I’ve watched recently, so what can I do?

I have one video left to talk about from rookies Kasee and Gunnar. I decided to combine them. Why? I finally realized that in the matches I bought, these guys faced the same wrestlers in the same locations (Cason and Vinny in the ring, Cap in the garage). I might’ve structured the reviews differently, but hindsight’s twenty-twenty. Oh well. Either way, there's still some kind of symmetry between the two newbies even if they're very different.

Gunnar vs. Cap

Gunnar has a one-track mind in this one.

Review: Cap vs. Kasee (Thunders Arena)

I've bought a lot of Thunders Arena matches recently. Kasee and Gunnar both grabbed my attention, so expect there to be a lot of Thunders coverage this month. I've only watched three of them but so far so good. Next up, Cap vs. Kasee pairs up Cason's two recruits on the garage mats. They were both great against the big fella but how are they when they're left to play by themselves?

Cason's boys square off.

Review: Cap vs. Frey (Thunders Arena)

Not to jinx things, but I'm on a pretty good run with videos being right on point. My latest reviews have showcased Wrestler4Hire's intimate and extended pro vs. pro action and Muscleboy Wrestling's erotically charged stud-fests. And now, we have a perfect example of Thunders Arena's fun-filled frathouse shenanigans with Cap vs. Frey.

Thunders' resident rookie wrecker.

Review: Blayne vs. Cap (Thunders Arena)

I'm back with Blayne vs. Cap. It's the third of the three Cap matches I bought from Thunders Arena. I think I watched them out of order, because this is very likely the first Cap video. What makes me say that? Well, Cap isn't even "Cap" yet. The rookie introduces himself as Sean Gainz. It's weird, because at Movimus, Duke Russo started as Tommy Gainz. Maybe Gainz is one of those names that sounds good at first, but isn't. Just one of life's little mysteries.

The rookie takes on my Fave Jobber of 2017.

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.

Review: Cason vs. Cap (Thunders Arena)

It doesn't seem like that long since Cap debuted at Thunders Arena as the hot new thing, but time flies. I'm just getting to him now as the Vegas matches consumed my Thunders viewing. I took a brief break, but now it's time to check out the new resident cutie. So far, I've seen him wrestle Blayne, Cason and Scrappy. I decided to start with Cap vs. Cason, since Cason is the one who brought Cap to Thunders and I figured their friendship would make for a unique dynamic.

A battle between buddies.
