Double Team (brief) Triumph: Stinger v Cage Thunder & Lightning Rod (bgeast.com)
We all love an underdog story, but I think deep down what we truly love is a story where our stunningly gorgeous underdog thinks he out muscles two supervillains, only to get humiliated in the end.

SPOILER ALERT: I highly recommend viewing this match in its entirety before reading this post.
The Backstory
Our hero enters the ring sporting the optimism of a champ with a simple demand - he will take both villains on but wants to ensure that just one bad guy in the ring at a time. Yeah, good luck buddy with your opponents fighting fair and all.
Ladies and gentlemen, our strapping, lean hero versus two muscled heels.
And it's a fair(ish) fight at first with only one villain in the ring at a time. Frankly, there doesn't even seem to be a reason to fight dirty when you're two badass villains against one hero.
Stretch out our hero and show off that ripped torso.
Cage Thunder checking to make sure those abs aren't painted on. Yup they are rock solid, at least for now that is.
But sooner rather than later they both cheat and gang up on our hero, and why do they cheat? Say it with me now, simply because they can!
The Double Team
A double team on its own would be bad enough but now our hero is unmasked and is robbed of his dignity. Reese's red, flushed face simply cannot contain the pain and embarrassment he feels.
Not content with mere victory, our villains need to humiliate the young Stinger/Reese. Holds are applied longer than they need to and that smooth body is manhandled more than necessary, all of this to prove a point; they do it simply because they can.
The Triumph
Despite overwhelming odds, our hero overcomes his opponents not through skill or strength but by exploiting their major flaw - their hubris. You see, Reese has been studying them and knows these guys want him bad, so bad in fact they'll let their guard down at an opportune moment...
I mean look at the chest on Reese, they man may be lithe but he's got some power behind him.
Our hero celebrates his impossible victory against two legendary heels, but no sooner does he proclaim that good has overcome evil when trouble starts brewing underfoot. You see our hero has his own flaws and is equally susceptible to hubris as the poor guy gets cocky while tasting his triumph.
Reese: How do you like that? Two on one and I still kicked both of your ass'?!
It should come as no surprise that in the end, little Reese Wells aka the Stinger, could not hold back both supervillains. One supervillain is tough enough but two is impossible, especially not when both were enraged with defeat. With the 'official' match over, Cage Thunder and Lightning Rod unleash their full heel mode, all over poor Reese.
And with that the match is over. Now I'm sure we all like to think of ourselves as good and just, but our bad guys know us better than that. They know exactly where our true emotions stand and knew that this ending is what we really wanted all along.
So, the most recent BGEast catalogue featured another entry in the Masked Mayhem series, and yet another without Cage Thunder. It’s always a little weird seeing that happen, to be honest, so here’s a photo of me in a mask to relieve your anxiety a little bit.
Nice, right?
They never taped me doing a masked jockstrap match, which is a shame because I have a great ass.
Does anyone know where I can find the Pink Puma vs. Cage Thunder match online? Or if someone could please send me a file of it, I would really appreciate it. Please and thank you.
