So let's begin:  +1: Donnie's body definitely deserves a point.  Rio's body is stunning as usual but Donnie's strapping and ripped body is on another level.  Couple that with the fact that the guy knows how to use those muscles to dominate his opponents and the man has earned this point.  

+1: The certain "Donnie-ness" of this match.  Whenever you watch a Donnie Drake match you are treated with that aggressiveness, that attitude, that heel swagger; qualities that no one out there can match.  

+1: The fact that Rio has his day too.  Let's face it Donnie rules, but the man is skilled and comfortable enough to get Rio in on some action to spice up the match.  One sided squashes are fine but a true pro knows when to give and take some of the beat downs.  

+1: For all the ab abuse.  Donnie and Rio go toe-to-toe and six pack-to-six pack with each other throughout this match.  In the corner, over the knee, on the ropes, these guys are vicious when it comes to the mid section and we the audience are the winners.  [+1] This deserves a bonus point for the veracity these two have punishing each other.  Both men are true pros in getting the best holds and angles for their fans.  

+1: For this in the corner ab/mid section punishment.  In another match you'll recall Donnie propped up a helpless Chase LaChance on the corner and savagely beat his abs.  Now you'll see the great Donnie on the receiving end (although the man is clearly letting all this happen).  Seeing a towering heel like Donnie helpless and vulnerable is definitely worth a point.  

+1: The total domination that Donnie brings to Rio in the end.  After being humiliated in the corner, Donnie was not going to be satisfied with a mere pin or submission.  The man is out for revenge and that means complete and total domination.  I have to give Rio credit for taking his beating, the man may not be the highest caliber wrestler, but he certainly deserves a medal for enduring Donnie's relentless domination.  

------- Everything Great About this Match: +7

So there you have it. This match is simple gay wrestling perfection.  I obsessively wonder why I love gay wrestling and fights like this bring me closer to uncovering the answer.  Sure pro wrestling has the action and hot guys, but there's just something extra in matches like this that drive my obsession.  Donnie is a gay wrestling powerhouse with that body, those moves, and that intangible Donnie-ness that he brings to the ring.  It's Donnie's ring and we're all just lucky to be watching on.  

So let's begin: 

+1: For Mr. Joshua and Rio. Body for body, muscle for muscle; these two are comparable and if you didn't know any better then you might think this a fair fight. At the start, even Mr. Joshua acknowledges that Rio's got the goods to compete.  

+1: Mr. Joshua turning on heel mode to the extreme. The guy is a legend for a reason and despite the fact that he is taking it easy on Rio, he still manages to obliterate the guy. 

+1: For not making this a total squash match. Okay, okay, let's be honest - Mr. Joshua dominates this match and Rio has no chance. But in the spirit of sharing and ensuring that both guys get to play, Rio is in control for a few minutes. I said it before that the best heels let their jobber have the illusion of victory before snatching it away.

+1: For Mr. Joshua knowing how to get the best poses out of his jobber. Showing off your handiwork is a true art and Mr. Joshua is a talent in this department. The guy really holds the match together and knows how to shine. [+1] Bonus point for forcing Rio to flex. An utterly emasculating move courtesy of the master. He makes him flex, not once, not twice, but three times for good measure.  

------- Everything Great About this Match: +5

So there you have it.  Mr. Joshua's school of hardknocks is in session and Rio is forced to swallow each and every tortuous lesson.  Both wrestlers have the muscular, jock, hard bodies to shine but only Mr. Joshua knows how to use it for good effect. The guy is a living legend in the art of not only conquering his opponent but also makes showing off his beaten jobber a true event to behold.  

Mr. Joshua: That's the way it is here.
