Wrestler of the Month feature match

Mat Rats #170: Scrappy vs Silas - Thunders Arena

I figured these two would meet on the mats eventually and I had to jump on this match as soon as I saw it was released. Scrappy has been around forever and is the perfect opponent for hot and cocky Silas who has plenty of victories under his belt. There's a real shot for Scrappy to finally humble him back to reality.

The two meet up in the Thunders Arena living room with Silas taking a verbal jab at Scrappy, but then he starts admiring Scrappy's build. Who wouldn't? It's impressive! Silas calls Scrappy "the new guy" and thinks he's here to teach him how to wrestle. While Scrappy is still busy flexing, Silas grabs him and lifts him into a tight bearhug and the match begins.

These two are both incredible at what they do, and this mat battle is no different. No body parts are off limits to be targeted, as the guys twist and contort each other in all of your favorite submission holds. By the middle of the match, one gets an advantage over the other and has the clear goal of knocking his opponent down a peg or two on the arrogance scale. Could be either. While Scrappy is more established on the scene and has more experience to back it up, both of these guys have big egos. 

That ego won't allow one of them to shout out a submission, and the only path to victory is a HOT headscissors that will leave one of these stubborn studs taking a snooze.

I enjoyed this match a lot. I wouldn't be reviewing it if I hadn't. It did leave me wanting a little more, however. These two have giant personalities and could very easily put on a battle for the ages. Whether it be in the ring pro style or another mat battle, I'd love for Thunders to let these two meet again in a longer and more intense match. Let em' get sweaty and really go at it!

Regardless, this match is a great addition to my collection, without a doubt.
