Zach Reno vs Tanner Vonn, Barefoot Babyfaces 2 (BG East)

I mainly associate Reno with his work at UCW, but he has a strong history at BG East that's just as admirable, battling Jonny Firestorm, Kirk Donahue, Cameron Matthews, Guido Genatto, Kid Karisma, among many more.  

I saw Zach in action first at BG East, teaming with Nate against the team of Brute Baynard and Lon Dumont in Tag Team Torture 17. Here he faces Tanner Vonn in singles competition, and from the start it looks like Zach will beat the turds out of Tanner.

He approaches the ring with Tanner's head firmly locked under his arm. He turns, forcing Vonn towards the ringside mirror to imagine how different he will look at the match's end. He hangs Tanner up on the middle rope, again forcing him to face the mirror. He then bashes Tanner's abs sideways against the ring post. He rolls Vonn under the ropes and stomps on his ribs. Maybe Vonn should not have agreed to wrestle this guy.

Both fighters are hot, but Reno is hotter - I must admit, no offence to Vonn. Reno kneels behind his prey and delivers a series of forearm smashes to Vonn's chest. He grabs Vonn's hairy chest to pull him up on his feet. Vonn snaps into action, immediately gripping Zach in a full nelson, spinning him, then pulling him down, locking Zach's ribs between Tanner's thighs. Tanner gleefully taunts Zach in the midst of agony. Ultimately, he forces Reno to tap out.

Vonn recovers and positions Reno between him and the mirror. Reno mule-kicks Vonn's ballsack. Still limping, Reno grabs Vonn's ankle, spreads the challenger's legs apart, and stomps on the groin. He follows by driving his knee to the same location, then mashing it flat beneath his kneecap. He pauses briefly, straddles Vonn's neck, and repeatedly slams his fist to Vonn's face.  Hard enough for me to hear the knuckles snapping as they contact Vonn's jaw.

(Let me insert line or two about Zach Reno's physique. The man has never looked better. The five o'clock shadow that curtains his jawline is perfection. The firm muscles on his shoulder are also impressive, and I, for one, would like to get my hands on his thighs. Wow.)

Now I should reveal that fourteen minutes will pass before Tanner Vonn gets another breather. Zach Reno pummels, almost flattens the guy to the ring floor like a dropped pancake. Tnnner eventually seizes an opportunity and retaliates, a hope spot that lasts only a couple of minutes with four or five minutes remaining. 

Do the math.
