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.

Superstars is a great show to watch if you enjoy actual matches. It almost every week has the best or 2nd best match of the week for WWE. I love watching especially seeing guys I almost never see on RAW or SD. and Armando Estrada is back!
re: Official General Superstars Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread
Santino/Ryder was great, I love comedy matches done right. It really highlighted these guys' comedic abilities, and it's a shame that segments like this, as well as awesome matches like Kidd/Barreta are relegated to the modern day Heat.
First I misread that he changed his name to Matt Striker. fpalm
But yeah, what the fuck? Estrada didn't exactly impress me on his return last week, but it was obviously rust. I'm now convinced that they have zero idea where they're trying to go with Kidd.
re: Official General Superstars Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread
Superstars was ok this week - lots of Tag-team action.
Kidd w. Stryker v, Trent was a 3/5 match IMO. Shorter and not as intense as all their previous encounters. I would have to say that Stryker is the perfect fit as a manager for Kidd - he is actually smaller than him, which Estrada and MH wasn't. Hopefully this duo stays together, as it'll mean more Stryker promo's
Corre / Usos - first time I was ever interested in an Uso match. Corre was good as usual. Slater sells like a champion and Gabriel wrestles like one. The Uso's were great as well - it is clear they need to be faces. Give em a bit of character and let them roll. 4/5 fun match
Melina / Gail - I don't watch diva matches, so I forwarded The ending looked good though.
Nexus v Santino / Kozlov - whenever McGillibuddy and Otunga is on my screen I fall asleep. Botchtastic match IMO. 1/5

Striker's doing Sweeney's super agent gimmick btw and he was far worse at it than Sweeney. I get that maybe it's a nice little tribute that Striker probably came up with himself but he really didn't do it justice. Oh yeah the "super agent" appeared on SD the day after as a backstage interviewer. Some super agent he is. Can't see him being back next week either.

I thought it was pretty great, especially the post-match promo. Felt so natural. But you're right, he should stick to being a manager from here on out. Anyone get a classy wiseguy vibe from him? I bet he had Estrada whacked before the show.
I'm giving it a thumbs up, hope to see him next week.
re: Official General Superstars Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread
I'm actually starting to like Striker and I really couldn't stand him before on commentary, looking forward to see where they go with Matt Striker being Tyson Kidds manager, hopefully he doesn't come out with another manager next week, although I wouldn't be surprised if this happened.
re: Official General Superstars Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread
I'm starting to get the feeling this show should be its own brand. Y'know with like a world title, and midcard title etc.
The roster would be:
Chavo Guerrero
Chris Masters
Curt Hawkins
David Hart Smith
Evan Bourne
JTG
Primo
Santino Marella
Trent Barreta
Tyler Reks
Tyson Kidd
The Usos
Vladimir Kozlov
William Regal
Yoshi Tatsu
Zack Ryder
I wouldn't mind if it was its own brand... but it's own world title? That would be totally improbable.
Matches this week:
Chris Masters vs JTG (heel)
Gail Kim and Eve vs Maryse (!!!) and Melina
Yoshi Tatsu vs Tyson Kidd (with Vickie Guerrero)
and.. Mark Henry and Matt Striker cut a promo
Match Results SPOILERS: Masters, Melina, Maryse, Tatsu won.
Seriously, this manager storyline for Tyson Kidd is ridiculous.
re: Official General Superstars Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread
Knew Striker would only be a one week thing. They obviously have no plans for Kidd, otherwise he'd get to debut a new manager on SD. Vickie is a random choice, obviously running out of choices for him now. Damn them for sticking with Hayes. Oh yeah ...
My question... How can they have no plan for kid, but have him as the only on-going storyline on the show. Clearly they're planning on taking this somewhere. Whether or not they actually do is another story entirely.
re: Official General Superstars Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread
Good to see Masters back on superstars, I always like his matches, even if it is JTG :no:
Looks like the standard of Kidd's managers is dropping each week. Praying Hayes comes back and takes him at least to the SmackDown midcard.
re: Official General Superstars Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread
So JTG is heel now? Could WWE at least put the tiniest effort into setting things like this up? I know they don't care about anyone on this show, but a little continuity would be nice.
re: Official General Superstars Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread
He lost to Tatsu with Hayes as his manager too. Wasn't a winning streak - he had 2 wins a row, that was all. Tatsu/Kidd was good from this week but they've had 3 other matches this year which were significantly better than that.
