Review: Jersey vs. Talon (Thunder’s Arena)

I’ve already teased my opinion of this match in my review of UCW's Max Ryder vs. Tyson Hammer, but I did want to do a full review. I prefer doing positive reviews and Jersey vs. Talon from Thunder's Arena definitely qualifies.

I liked this match quite a bit for a few reasons - the talent, the action (albeit limited) and the storyline are all on point.

The studs make this match. Jersey remains a go-to stud for me. His adorkable looks, body and personality return, wrapped up in his second best gear (red speedo). He also gets to show off some awesome power, with two long-held bearhugs and a nice full nelson. Jersey is having fun and I'm right there with him.

And Talon was great, too. This is only my second Talon match. I was very disappointed by the first one against Dozer, which seemed like nothing but flexing. I get that Talon is a handsome man, but handsome men aren’t that unique on the web. I certainly don’t have to pay $30 to see a handsome man flexing. I pay $30 to see one wrestle.

Yeah, Talon is handsome

But I want action!

While this is also a short match with minimal moves, those few are really, really hot. The chemistry between the two studs makes it very watchable, convincing me that Jersey is a superstar whose charm and personality can elevate anyone's game.

Also working hard is Talon’s gear, because of the fit. It’s the standard Thunder’s patterned squarecuts, which normally obscure the view, but Talon is bulging large and bouncing all over the place. I don’t know if my images and GIF’s quite capture it, but hopefully you get the hypnotic sense of his low-hanging pouch.

Jersey understands fan service

In terms of the set-up, it's engaging, as Talon plays the tough guy (I almost say bully, but that has negative connotations I don't intend). The muscleman in blue is cocky and confident and delights in threatening and punishing easy-going Jersey. Now, my boy Jersey holds his own, but Talon is definitely channeling his inner heel throughout.

** SPOILER ** There are sort of two endings to this match. Both guys get knocked out during the match, but the first one only leads to a revenge knock out. I won’t spoil which knockout happens first, but you can probably guess which one. ** END SPOILER **

In the end, does Jersey overcome the tough guy?

Or does Talon make good on his threats?

I’m definitely still Team Jersey. I still haven't watched his match versus Tak, but I will buy whatever he's in next. I might give Talon a third chance, if he's up against reliable opponent. With both his matches being light on wrestling, I'd be nervous against a newbie or someone I'm not sold on.

How about you? Are you a fan of Jersey? Talon? This match? Speak out in the comments!
