Ravaging Savages

The Zach Altovito obsession continues with Wrestler4Hire's Ravaging Savages: Zach Altovito vs. Zach Reno & Matt Blakewood.

After seeing some dominant Zach Altovito, here we have him more on the receiving end of some pain.  But it's not his fault!  His opponents here are smaller than him, true, but there's TWO of them, and they're determined and vicious.  You ever watch little ants fighting a big ant on the sidewalk when you were a kid?  

Plus, from the moment Reno and Blakewood come flipping into the ring, you can tell they're pretty experienced.  So our poor big ol' Zach Altovito is outnumbered AND outclassed.  

AND!  The feral twins are relentless.  Once they get control of Zach, they keep it going, trying not to give him a CHANCE to rally.  And he's a game fighter.  There are moments when he attempts to turn the tide.  But every time he tries to take his chance, focusing on one barefoot brawler, the other comes in and tries to shut him down.

The double-teaming, if I haven't made it clear, is pretty great in this match.  There's a series of low blows that'll particularly leave you feeling for the big man.  Or alternating low blows and chest-scratching that leaves big Zach confounded, and unable to protect himself.  In fact, the heels often resort to raking their claws across Zach, imprinting his skin.

The double-hold submissions are nice.  

And it's pretty neat when both vicious little guys try, but are unable to apply a full nelson, due to Altovito's size.

So even if, unlike me, you're a stickler for a squash match "making sense," you should be able to accept an outclassed, outnumbered wrestler like Zach, who plays fair and just lacks the vicious streak of his opponents to keep up.
