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.

Seeing as this week's Superstars wasn't really very good, I recommend you watch Tyson Kidd and Yoshi Tatsu's rematch on NXT. This will be WWE's match of the week. Better than last week's, hard hitting, great commentary, hot crowd. I was never bored during the match. Many little details that you will enjoy as well. Grisham and Regal are my favorite announce team in the WWE currently. Regal is just so great as a color commentator, and both of them enhance the match by putting the wrestlers over. It's a shame WWE's still using Cole and Booker - they're terrible.

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.

I'm surprised that more people aren't complaining about Barrett being on superstars.

Ryder/McIntyre was decent enough. I don't think it'll mean a push for either one of them.

Natalya/Alicia dragged on too long but it had its moments. The trash talking and taunts were entertaining.

If the WWE was smart about it, they would continue to make Superstars more of a show where stars that the IWC, or any others feel aren't getting their due. We see it now with Drew, Ryder, and whom ever else they have pitched to that show. I feel like Superstars would be so much better if I knew it was a show where stars like Kofi, Morrison, or Ryder could vent about being misused. The idea that it's not just about wrestling, but the chance to hear what's really on these stars' mind would be interesting to see. Personal interviews backstage, with less of the glorified show theme to it. What do you all think?

No way. The whole point of Superstars is that's it's devoid of the gasharoo promos and interviews we see on Raw and Smackdown. Fair enough, one or two in-ring promos before a match every so often is alright, but no more.

Can someone jut confirm what date the Promo video says the Wrestlemania Travel Packages go on sale? I read a report saying the promo said This Saturday but WWE say Monday.

I can't watch Superstars on WWE.Com or Hulu because I'm in the UK.

I'm pretty damn sure its Monday.

Just finished watching Superstars. I lol'd when Maryse put on Beth's headband.
Loved Stanford on commentary. Kind of disappointed that half of the show was a recap of CM Punk's promo.

A lot of the time, the wrestlers on Superstars use their initiatives and come up with stories by themselves. You'll notice that the majority of people you see stuck on Superstars are actually talented enough to tell a story in the ring. Look at Gail and Melina, they were given shit and did their best to make it shine by coming up with an mini-feud for themselves. In wrestling, if you're talented enough, you don't need a microphone to tell a story.

I just watched the 7/21/11 Superstars episode and all the matches were very well done (even the divas matches). I'd say that Gabriel vs Kidd was definitely the best. Hopefully they put Gabriel on Smackdown soon.

I have to disagree with you. 4 match shows usually suck compared to 3 match shows, and this was true again for me with this week. Bourne vs Primo was good, all the rest passable. Superstars can do better. The Rough Ryder was cool though.

Bring Trent Beretta up to Smackdown. He's been working his ass off on Superstars and having great matches, He can have Teddy Long and Zack Ryder book themselves into Beretta/Ryder tag matches.

HOLLA HOLLA PLAYAZ.

Just saw the latest episode. I do like the fact that they are attempting to have a little story on the show (JTG) appearing, but yeah. Also Stanford and Matthews are a great combo.

re: Official General Superstars Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread

No more story, Koslov's gone.

Adieu to the king of Superstars, Chris Masters as well. and the never seen on Superstars, David Hart Smith.

Anyway... Brodus Clay is back... and you can do two things about that... nothing... or like it. Because this big man can talk, he has "it", and he can suplex you to kingdom come, or he can land on you.

I am geuinely angry they are culling the Superstars brigade. It is honestly my favourite wrestling show of the week on a regular basis. Where are else are you going to get 15 minute Drew Mcintyre vs Chris Masters matches??

It's not like they're out of talent. Hawkins, Reks, and Primo are barely ever used.
