Review: Talon vs. Bucky (Thunders Arena)
Full disclosure: This video was provided to me by Thunders Arena.
Oh Talon, you know just what to say to get my mind going. Of course Talon vs. Bucky isn't "that" kind of video, but I have a feeling this exact exchange will start one of my stories at some point. In this case, those words are the start to a new Thunders Arena ring match starring fan favorite Talon and newcomer Bucky.
Regular readers know I've been a big fan of Thunders Arena ring matches, positively reviewing three already (Dirty Daddy vs. Marco, Dirty Daddy vs. Brian Cage and Johnny Bravo vs. Brian Cage). I didn't even know this one was out, but there it was from Mr. Mike in my inbox. I was going to hold back, but I watched a few minutes, got hooked and here we are again with my third Thunders post in 8 days.
Talon: "I'm waiting on some action."
Bucky: "What kind of action are you waiting on?"
Talon: "Whatever you want, I'm ready."

Commentary: The Rise and Fall of RHW
It's been a while since I had anything provocative to say, but this seemed like an interesting and timely topic. It's also been a while since I covered anything to do with Rock Hard Wrestling.
Let me start by saying I know nothing about RHW that you don't know. I've never exchanged emails, texts or any other form of communication with them. I don't know how they work, how their sales are or any other insider information. So this is merely one fan's perspective.
A year ago, RHW was my favorite producer by far. They had my favorite wrestlers, awesome action and the best-looking videos at a great price. As recently as August, Jose at LaSustanciaP called me the biggest RHW fan he knows. I chose them for my first “Casting the Cave” post, my first “Battle of the Wrestling Stars” post and based on the strength of their early 2015 slate, they won multiple 2015 Caveys for wrestlers and matches. However, I didn’t give them any of the Producer Caveys.

Review: Ty Alexander vs Chace LaChance (Wrestler4Hire)
After a lengthy break, Cameron Matthews is back with more videos, releasing a number of interesting looking matches featuring a great combination of hot indie pros and homoerotic wrestling studs. I've already bought three - two with Maverick and the Lane Hartley/Kelly King double-teaming Barry Burke video. Reviews to come.
Today, though, I'm looking back to an older release. This match is actually titled "Wedgie Wars". I bought it a while ago, but it kind of fell down my list. I bought it for the two wrestlers. I like both of them, but somehow the title made me feel like it was a novelty match. I figured I needed to be in the right mood.
While there are many wedgies and trunk pulls, this is actually a really good match on its own. The first wedgie doesn't even happen until you're more than a third of the way through this 20-minute match. As proof of that, I only pulled one of the titular moves, opting to feature the non-wedgie action.

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 ...
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.

"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"

Review: Bravo vs. Cage (Thunder’s Arena)
This match intrigued me when it first came out, but I ended up waiting a while before buying. I’m not a crazy fan of these two guys, but the combination of these two huge muscle beasts in one match sounded pretty cool. However, it was $50 and I already had a ton of matches on my iPad, so I didn’t feel a huge rush.
Waiting paid off. Thunder’s Arena eventually reduced it to $33, so with a free match add-on (Marco/Fit), I got three matches for $59, which is under $20 each. With the match downloaded and a little free time, I finally got around to watch it.
How was Johnny Bravo vs. Brian Cage?
Great. The match definitely delivered exactly what I expected. The musclemen, the action and the finish were excellent. It’s a unique product. I can't think of anywhere else in our little gay-oriented wrestling video world where you are going to see two guys that are built like this, with these reputations, in a ring together battling it out.

Inspiration: The Stump Puller
Alex R. suggested that I post about some of the moves I use. Not everyone is familiar with every hold. Now Wrestling Arsenal already has an alphabetical listing of hot galleries that includes a lot of holds, including the Stump Puller. They're a great place to start. I decided to do my own post anyway, just for fun.
