There's always something going on Superstars that catches people's attention and a few topics pop up, so it shouldn't hurt to make an actual thread for this great weekly wrestling show on WWE.COM (formerly WGN America).
Some thoughts on the 5/19 episode:
- Hayes and Kidd's relationship gets interesting. Is this the end already, or was it all just tough love? Really looking forward to everything this angle brings. Why they aren't doing this on the actual show baffles me.
- When Hawkins and Ryder came out, it looked and felt as if they were never separated in the first place: such a natural duo. Hawkins eating the Cobra was very disappointing (though he sold it like a champ, as always). Why was the one team with even that slight momentum and relevance NOT the winner (especially without any post-match shenanigans)?
- Main event was AWESOME. Drew knows the psychological game better than a lot and is the most underrated in-ring maestro right now. I could watch him go all day long. It's a disgrace not to have him on tv and build him up.

Downloading now.
I can't believe I am. Have to stomach another crappy Kofi vs Hennig match. Why can't this program be moderately fresh? That's a problem with everything in WWE nowadays...
The show had:
Drew McIntyre vs Sin Cara
The Funkadactyl's vs Alicia Fox and Natalya
Overall thoughts: Good show with two good matches. The divas match was highlighted by a really fun comeback by Naomi, who seriously looked like the best women's wrestler in the WWE. It was probably the best divas match so far this year. The Cara/Drew match was good and had Striker marking out all over the finish. This was definitely one of the better Superstars episodes and well worth a look.

Smfh what happened to Superstars, a complete segment from Raw took like 20 min of the show.
3 match shows will live forever in my memory. Also where's Scott Stanford.

Superstars changed when Main Event and Saturday Morning Slam were formed. They basically split up some of the stuff to the two new shows. It sucks but now they are making cash off of three shows instead of one. We actually get more matches now and usually each show has one in the 10+ minutre or more range, with Main Event having lots of those. Main Event appears to be changing though as they have done alot of squashes lately.
Scott Stanford was replaced by Tony Dawson about a month or so ago. Dawson seems to be one of WWE's projects at the moment. Stanford still does NXT voice overs and PPV pre-shows with Renee Young.
Overall thoughts: Nothing great and nothing bad here. The matches look on paper pretty much as they are, though Otunga got alot of offense in. There was nothing must see here and you can definitely skip it.
Re: Official WWE Superstars Weekly TV Show Discussion
I'd still pick Kofi over Otunga - and over MANY other guys really. But somehow creative never really get behin him, it's always hot & cold with Kofi, I'm pretty sure his main event run won't ever happen. Maybe at best the way R-Truth's did when he feuded John Cena for a few weeks. Kofi is underutilized on Superstars however...
Re: Official WWE Superstars Weekly TV Show Discussion
Hardly. Guy is a hack of a talent and deserves nothing, quite frankly. Wouldn't even know why he should or would earn a main event push as it is. Done zero to prove, show, or deserve one. Being on Superstars is fitting.
Re: Official WWE Superstars Weekly TV Show Discussion
*** from me for Ryder/Cesaro, great match. Cesaro was great like always here, and Ryder pulled out some nice moves. The tag team match was only a boring squash
