So let's begin:  +1: For the flex fight. Now at times these types of matches can seem gimmicky but not this - this is pure masculine energy channeled into flexing.  Both men have something to prove and both men want to prove it by showing off how they can dismantle the other via forced flexing - I mean who are we to complain, am I right?  Hell this deserves a bonus point [+1] for enlightening me on the ways of the flex match.

Z-Man: You see these? Austin: They're small.

Austin: Do it. Flex your biceps for me!

Austin: No... *AHHHH* Alright, alright I'll flex

Austin: Flex, I want more flexing.

I love how smug and proud Z-man is to show off his handiwork here.

+1: Along with that, can we talk about the shear athleticism at work here?  Austin is a beast plain and simple.  

I mean how many guys can pull this off? 

Austin showing off on his terms

+1: For all the ab beat downs.  Why is it I love some good ab work?  I may never know but there's something about a tanned chiseled six-pack on a cocky guy getting worked over that definitely deserves a point. 

Z-man slumped over and flexing those abs gives Austin an idea. Pummel the man and show him those abs mean nothing.

Just an upside ab bash to really show off how much he owns you.

+1: For the close up camera angles.  Throughout this match, we are constantly treated to our two muscle studs groaning and flexing within an inch of the action.  

Every muscle twitch is captured in this match, Every ab is clearly visible.

You can almost feel Z-man's breath as he cries out

+1: All those damn pec claws! Austin shows off how he can dominate Z-man with this move only to have the tables turned on him.  Both wrestlers' drool-worthy pecs make tempting targets here and I can't fault them for wanting to take a piece of that chest home with them. 

Z-man fights back to get free only to get caught once again.

Z-man gets his turn on those impressive things.

+1: Humiliating your helpless opponent on the turnbuckle.  I recently have come to appreciate this move ever since I saw a helpless Chace LaChance laid on the turnbuckle while Donnie Drake had at it on him.  Austin and Z-man have their own variation and really make this move work.  You can feel the helplessness on Austin's face along with the thrill coming off of Z-man to have his man laid out and ready to take whatever he can throw. 

Z-man: Dammit, flex for me! Austin: *Groan* No... *Groan* I won't flex...

Austin using up all his willpower and hoping to hang on

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

So there you have it.  This is a solid match showcasing Austin and Z-man in their prime.  I initially had my reservations about a flex match but these two really sell.  The beatdowns, the anguish over having to flex, all come together to make this work.  I can feel Austin's breath as he cries out in submission or Z-man having to debase himself with a flex. Thank you Austin and Z-man for showing me the light - a flex match is all about showing your beaten opponent off as your latest trophy.
