Review: King/Travis vs. Marco/Bolt (Thunders Arena)

February was going to be a Thunders Arena-free month. I've covered a lot of their stuff and I wanted to give some love elsewhere. However, a commenter mentioned this tag team ring match - Marco/Bolt vs. Travis/Joey King. They've sent me three matches recently, so I figured I'd take a risk and try it out. Don't worry, though. I'm doing this as a bonus post, so you'll still get the five reviews and wrestling move post I've already uploaded for the month.

Now, I might have bought this without prodding, but I definitely would've thought twice before buying it. I've enjoyed all four of the Thunders ring matches I've watch so far, so that makes me interested, but none of these four wrestlers are must-buys for me.

Three of Thunders bestsellers together should be a winner, right?

Review: Frey vs. Travis (Thunders Arena)

Full disclosure: This video was provided to me by Thunders Arena.

This is a bonus post. I originally planned three reviews for the end of January, but Thunders Arena sent out another video to a bunch of bloggers, including me. I try not to do the same company twice in a row, but I moved Cage/Bravo up a day and slotted this one in. So now there's four reviews (plus the Who's Who) to end the month.

Here's the email we received from Mr. Mike ...

"We had so many reviews of travis come back into us that he doesn’t know how to wrestle so we made a video of him learning how to wrestle. I thought you might enjoy watching this and share it with your readers. I think it would be interesting to do an article on a bodybuilder trying to learn how to wrestle. Got some interesting stuff for you to talk about with your fans. This is Travis vs Frey"

Okay, I'm not doing an article on a bodybuilder trying to learn how to wrestle. I think that'd be interesting if this was an interview with Travis, but it's just a video and we don't get any insight into Travis' feelings on the matter. If anything, he doesn't seem particularly troubled by his lack of knowledge or skill.

Still, this whole situation is really interesting to me. Interesting enough that I adjusted my schedule to fit this in as an extra post. It's like they're trying to hit the reset on Travis. Perhaps they feel that they botched the debut of a potential superstar. Travis is a cute 18-year old phenom with an impossible bodybuilder physique. He should be a bestseller for a long time, except for this 'doesn't know how to wrestle' issue.

Travis is a big boy
