Review: #468 LS Powerhouse vs. Kenny Star (UCW)

As promised, I'm back with another review of a LS Powerhouse UCW match. Everything I said on Thursday holds true. Powerhouse is back with his big personality and bulging muscles, all wrapped in stunning purple pro trunks.

In this match, Powerhouse faces off against Kenny Star, perhaps the hottest of the new pool of guys, which includes studs like Max Ryder, Nero Angelo and Derrick Cole. Star is tall, trim and scruffy with hair on his chest and a killer smile. He reminds me of someone famous, but I just can't pinpoint who it is.

Regardless, Star also has a charming personality and amazing presence that makes him eminently watchable. The guy has a confident swagger, but also sells really well when he needs to. Gear aficionados will appreciate how his skimpy silver poser hangs low in front, revealing his provocative 'playboy bunny' tattoo.

I've made no secret of my love of contrast and diversity in matches. With LS Powerhouse vs. Kenny Star, we've got a beautiful example of it. The differences are obvious, but they start out by putting it all on front street. Star teases about the older hunk's stature and age. Powerhouse responds with muscles and taunts about Star's youth. However, once the action starts, that goes by the wayside and we've got a real match.

Both guys have a lot of chances to shine. There is typical UCW action like punching, as well as submission holds like a OTK backbreaker with a little nipple twisting for added punishment. Star looks especially great when he's stretched out.

Similar to the first match, this one ends with a long held sleeper that is super-hot. We get another arm lift three-count and the two studs look great as the loser lies sleeping with his head on the winner's lap. My one complaint is that the sell job on this sleeper isn't clean as the other one. At the very end, the loser opens his eyes and it breaks the spell of the hold.

Still, that's a minor complaint and everything else is perfect. Once again, I really enjoyed this match and plan to check out more from both guys.

If you've seen Kenny Star and he reminds you of someone too, be sure to let me know in the comments. Maybe it'll help me figure it out!
