WWE Superstars Weekly TV Show Discussion

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.

It amazes me that Kidd vs. Barreta last week got more air time than Cena vs. Miz at wrestlemania
holy crap wow

Some times the show brings good matches, although rarely
That isn't true, most of the matches I've seen on Superstars have been good ones. Pretty much any match not involving Divas, Khali, or Henry, which most don't include.

They aren't classics but they're usually over 10 minutes and involve the younger guys giving it their all to make an impression.

WWE Superstars is the best WWE show out there. It's the closest you will ever see to a pure wrestling show in the WWE. No promos, no guest host rubbish, no anonymous GM nonsense, just pure matches. I love it.
how can wrestling alone be good pls it needs story line to attract people attention or else mmany people wont watch it

Thanks for the resurrection. Let's get this thread going, guys.

Hard to come up with a top 3, but last week's ME is definitely there (McIntyre vs. Bourne). I encourage everyone to watch it, especially the Drew Mac doubters. Anyone looking for other good matches should check out the Hawkins vs. Barreta series from 2010-11. Both guys at their best.

Ditto the Croft/Barretta vs. Hawkins/Archer series from 2010. One of the best Tag rivalries in a long, long time.

EDIT: In fact, why has this thread not been stickied yet? Every other show has it's own bloody forum yet Superstars has to contend with a thread which will invariably drop through the pages throughout the week between showings. Mods, get it sorted.

Drew vs Masters was epic.

I'm disappointed at myself for missing most of those tag matches, didn't really follow Superstars that actively until Croft and Archer were released (funny, I know). Thank God for Youtube.

Speaking of which: if WWE has blocked videos in your country, you can catch Superstars and other weeklies in HD here: http://www.youtube.com/user/WWEdamdos

If that can't help, then Seabs is an absolute godsend.

Didn't think much to Estrada being in Kidd's corner this week... guy did NOTHING and his promo was average and dull as fuck. Plus he doesn't seem to be doing the same schtick as before he left. He's just some guy in a suit now.

At least the match between Kidd/umm... whatshisface was good. Kidd continues to be on a roll on Superstars.

I think Kidd will go though a few more managers before one sticks, I had heard that WWE was looking at getting Estrada back though. Anyway I doubt the "writing team" were around the last time Armando was in the 'E, so no surprise he wasn't Armando Allleeeejannnndro Estrada.

I just hope that once Kidd goes through a few of these managers, that the managers actually stick around and manage people :p. God knows we NEED Hayes back in someone's corner after his performance last week. And Arn Anderson better show the fuck up at some point too.

I'm surprise NXT/Tough Enough has it's own forum, but not Superstars.

re: Official General Superstars Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread

I still remember how good Hayes was for the Hardy's back in the day, WWE needs more managers because it can help get guys established better than shitty scripts. I hope if Double A comes back he manages somebody who can master the spinebuster and break somebodies back.

I like that WWE is trying to establish the Broski Boot as a regular part of Ryder's arsenal, although they need to make their damn minds up as to what it is, exactly. Is it just any time Ryder kicks an opponent? Scott Stanford, Josh Matthews, and Matt Striker are, as always, GREAT on commentary.

Ryder vs Santino was hilarious.

Kidd vs Barretta III was not as good as the prequels.

Anyone thinks there should be at least a superstar title??

No. the guys can use Superstars to build up for #1 contender matches for the mid-card titles.

Aha everrrybody listen haha .....to me!


Arrrrmando Essstrada is back, how have I not seen a thread on this yet. Disappointed they toned his character down to just a serious business man now though. Glad to see such a decent mic worker back in a managerial capacity.
