Muscle and Sweat

Bronco vs JaJa, Mat Rats184 (Thunders Arena)

Here we see Bronco schooling JaJa on Thunders-style wrestling in "a controlled wrestling lesson ... that is about to fly off the handle!" In my opinion, the practice session is better than the subsequent ring battle, which I reviewed last week. If muscle and sweat are your thing, this is must-see.

It's a battle of egos with JaJa playing to the camera when he gets an advantage over Bronco. The flagrant show of disrespect is more than Bronco can tolerate; he immediately chokes JaJa out cold. Moments like this remind me of animal behavior - for instance, when a leader lion shuts down a young lion's attempt to take charge of the pride.

Still, JaJa bucks against Bronco's authority, so things get hot and sweaty fast. Egos clash, "spectacularly," I would say. This leads to two additional rounds, culminating in a decisive, rough, and ego-crushing finale. Here's a case of a practice session turning as surly as the ring war and main event. Good thing the camera is there to catch it all.
