Review: Justin Powers vs. Taylor Reign (Muscleboy Wrestling)

Full disclosure: This video was sent to me by Muscleboy Wrestling.

Taylor: "You must be the new jobber."
Justin: "Yes, I am."
Taylor: "Well, I'm the king here. You think you can wrestle?"
Justin: "I'll try it out."

BGEast is famous for holding onto videos (I saw a comment that they have 200 unreleased matches). They release things years after they film, some of them amazing, like the Cavey and BESTIE winner for overall match of 2017, Cole Cassidy vs. Josh Goodman.

Well, with Justin Powers vs. Taylor Reign, I'm now wondering if Muscleboy Wrestling isn't trying the same approach. Keeping some hot stuff in the bank so they're always ahead of the game.

The "new jobber" gets a lesson from the "king".

Justin Powers won two Caveys in 2017, one as a wrestler and the other for a match. He was confident, sexy and playful, using erotic attacks to seduce and distract while he racked up the W’s. Prior to Nick Flex’s match with Ethan Andrews, Justin gave Nick, the real resident king of MBW, his biggest test yet. So the guy is a sexy stud who knows how to win.

And yet, this video starts with Taylor Reign asking if Justin is the newest jobber and Justin casually accepts this assessment. Now, it could be game-playing, but the action backs it up. Taylor easily owns JP from the start. It's not until halfway through before the usually dominant Powers shows some moxie of his own. I've seen Taylor in other videos and he's good, but he's not that good.

So I've made my judgment that this might be Justin’s first video. And if it is, no wonder he kept getting brought back. The porn stars keep the trunks on, which is fine with me, because they deliver an electric mat war.

Justin's as hot as ever.

Uh, Taylor, that's not a handle.

The self-professed king can't keep his hands off.

This is not Taylor’s first match. He's cocky and self-assured, feeling like the stud of MBW. The only other time I reviewed him, he was getting his ass kicked by Travis Bennett, but I've seen him in dominant heel mode, too. He's smooth and lean, with a handsome face. Reign moves like a cat and is deceptively strong, making him intriguing to watch.

Justin plays the jobber really well.

Justin finally finds his fight.

Is there where Justin learned this move?

The match starts out like a total squash, but it heads into some back-and-forth as Justin gets comfortable. Not a ton, this is Taylor’s match, after all. Both guys work hard. Justin challenges Thunders Arena rookie Cason for best sweaty stud. If they ever wrestled each other, it’d be like an oil match. Anyway, you’ll see there’s a good range of moves and holds over the 31 minutes of wrestling.

The action is very MBW, with the guys enjoying the moment a lot. You see Taylor use a lot of Justin’s flirting playbook, in fact. Maybe he’s actually the teacher. Or maybe not. Depends if I’m right or not. There's a connection between the studs as they struggle, strain and sweat all over the mat room. They kiss and caress, mixing it in seamlessly with aggression.

Justin's so shiny and sexy.

Maybe Justin doesn't want to be the jobber.

Love that piledriver.

In the end, this was a hot bad boy battle. It took me a moment to get used to a more subdued Justin, but Taylor makes a good dominant stud. He clearly enjoys taking the rookie jobber apart, but is willing to hand over control to keep things interesting. I might be wrong that in my assumption that this is actually Justin’s first video, but it does make it more intriguing to me.

What are other bloggers saying?

RINGSIDE: FORCED TO SWEAT

So that's my take. What's yours?
