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.

Just watched this week's Melina/Gail match. Best thing to happen to the division system in years (well, bar Kharma obviously). Seriously, it's so campy and melodramatic. "You were always a TERRIBLE friend!" "I was your friend! You're crazy!" I fully expect it to break down in a major catfight, complete with slapping and water throwing.

I liked this weeks show. Dare I say it, but is Otunga actually improving somewhat? Only thing I didn't like was Gail Kim/Melina could have had a few more minutes, but it appears they'll have some more matches in the future.
Anyone who's a fan of Superstars should check out this great match from NXT: Yoshi Tatsu vs Tyson Kidd. Yoshi Tatsu is PISSED because Kidd broke his figurine. this might be match of the week.

Can't wait to see Ryder vs McIntrye. Both underrated. I cant watch the episodes on WWE.com due to being from Australia, but I'll wait for them on YouTube.

I've been thinking about this. Should the WWE just make Superstars the premier brand for the WWE Tag titles? We're getting a ton of matches between the top tag teams in the company, but no title matches? Seeing as WWE doesn't care about the Tag titles and doesn't reallyknow Sueprstars exists, why not have the Titles being defended mainly on Superstars and give some more prestige to both the titles and Superstars?
Anyway, what a show. Beth/Gail Kim HAS to be the main contender for Divas Match of the Year. I hope they work a fued sometime soon so we can see more. JTG/Masters was good and although I was gutted it was kaitlyn and not Natalya, that main event was amazing. Holy shit, that Suplex spot was unbelievable!
Also, I see a lot of threads fuming that this was "relegated" to Superstars. Don't these people realise those matches would have got 3/4 minutes maximum on Raw or Smackdown!?!

I'm from the UK, but it's my understanding that Superstars isn't aired on TV in the States, just through WWE.com?
If that's the case, why not activate an Internet championship and have it defended on Superstars? Ryder starts with it as the founder, defends it on Superstars but makes appearences on Raw to promote his title, show etc.
I've always thought some form of TV title would be a good inclusion for WWE. I liked the old form of having 3 tiers of titles (WWE, IC, European), I think it helps lower card talent step up and seem relevant when given a title.

Seems Wade Barrett is on Superstars this week, seems like an odd person considering he's one of SD!'s main heels and is competeing in MITB, if you want to know what he does just google the 7/7/11 tapings.

SD's main heels? He's been booked so weak as IC Champion, lost the IC Title, then lost to Kane as well. SD's got so many heels you know, and a lot of them are booked stronger than Barrett. 1. Henry 2. Sheamus 3. Christian 4. Rhodes 5. Barrett

I know, what I meant to say it that for a second I thought they were ready to give him a serious push after the Corre split and he claimed he's goin on to bigger and better things, he's not a regular on Superstars and that just surprised me.

Just saw Ryder vs McIntyre. Great match. Loved it when Ryder did a cross-body. Also, it definitely had psychology to it and you could genuinely feel that McIntyre was pissed! Let's hope for a RAW fued. Still though, they must make sure Ryder officially turns face on RAW, otherwise younger fans will not know whether to support him. In Australia and NZ, the crowd were behind him, but he still needs to get full support from everyone else.
