Scrappy vs Nathan FX and Jason Aleqsander, 2 on 1 (UnderGround Wrestler)

The last half of this match is worth the wait. By then Scrappy has lost his man bun, and his sweat-drenched hair clings to the cut of his jaw. By then he is stomping his double-teaming assailants Jason and Nathan THROUGH the ring mat. These two jerks get their chuckles during the match's midpoint, but the end belongs to Scrappy, who uses one unlucky punk as the bludgeon to beat down the other punk. I'll admit it - I'm a sucker for the classic backbreaker. You show me a cartoon of one Smurf busting another Smurf's cervical spine against one knee, and I'll get hard, especially if both Smurfs sell the hell out of it. Multiply that by a hundred when it's Scrappy bashing two guys with swimmers' builds, all three shiny as diamonds.

There's a lot of repetition in this match, but it works, kinda like a steady drumbeat. I like the last half more than the first - because then Scrappy goes to town on these preening assholes. And then there's the sweat factor. In this mode, he is not the pretty boy - or not JUST the pretty boy. He is mean and vengeful, and his vengeance is sweetened by the fact that FX and Aleqsander are getting what they deserve. The cubs get clubbed, knotted together, piled on top of each other. Scrappy sheds his boyish charms and becomes the scourge.
