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.
Re: Official WWE Superstars Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread
I'm taking a break from the rest of WWE (RAW and Smackdown) at the minute because I'm having serious trouble being entertained by their storylines and the directions they're taking. This is why I'm watching Superstars. Really refreshing to see wrestling. No storylines, just wrestling matches, all of which were good and I enjoyed them a lot. That includes the divas match where Natalya showed how good she really is, Layla showed how much she has improved and both showed a lot of personality. Rhodes vs Gabriel was a great match. Same with Kidd and Slater.

Excellent tag match between Kidd/Gabriel and Reks/Hawkins.Kidd and Gabriel are gelling well together and are just great to watch.Reks has some nice moves as well.

Intense McGillicutty is so over the top that he actually worked well against Santino's brand of over the top comedy. The match was better than I expected (probably Santino's best match in some time). Still makes me think that McGillicutty and Curtis should be a full time tag team.
I didn't like the main event at all which seemed like a waste and even though McGullicutty had a good match, I've seen way too much of him lately between this show and NXT.
Re: Official WWE Superstars Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread
I'd never complain about seeing too much of McGillicutty wrestling. The guy is VERY good at it. It would be nice if they gave him a little actual direction.

Gabriel vs Sandow was very good, which is about what I expected. Can't speak for the rest of the show though. my WWE Superstars policy is to only watch the matches featuring guys I give a shit about.

Re: Official WWE Superstars Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread
I actually found Gabriel/Sandow to be the least interesting match of the show, but it was still solid/good. Maybe my expectations were unfairly high after Gabriel's other recent matches. Sandow's good enough in the ring, but that's about it.
I kind of felt the same way about Drew/Riley. It was pretty good, but it wasn't on the same level as Drew's other recent matches (Sin Cara, Christian, and even Seth Rollins). Riley's another guy who is "good enough, but that's about it."
Re: Official WWE Superstars Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread
Good show this week. The Uso's vs McGuillicutty/Curtis match was probably the second best match this week. The Uso's are totally on fire. Drew Mac vs A-Ry was good too as was Sandow vs Gabriel.
Re: Official WWE Superstars Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread
Honestly Sandow vs Tatsu and Riley vs Mcintyre were rather average matches imo. However Rhodes/Gabriel is a pretty good match and worth a watch. Nice psychology with Rhodes continually working the arm through the match. Good stuff.
I see this run as being an extension of Gabriel's insane consistency dating back to at least 2009. Give Gabriel time and an opponent with a pulse and the result will be a good match.
I have noticed that Gabriel likes the inverted facelock => counter spot though. Not a criticism, just an observation. It worked well in this match in particular as it allowed the Cross Rhodes to appear as a surprise counter that made sense with the psychology of the match.
Re: Official WWE Superstars Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread
That botch looked mutual to me.
Drew thought A-Ry was going to jump over his head and Riley thought Drew was going to take the dropkick.
That powerbomb didn't look good at all though..
