Thoughts
Thanks for reading this guys, this is my first ever recap I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did. I thought this was a pretty good show for Superstars. The matches were fairly solid, a little bit predictable but this is Superstars after all.
I thought they probably shouldn’t have made the Divas match the main event. It wasn’t very long at all.
The Tyson Kidd/Trent Baretta match was probably match of the night with Trent taking the bump of the night when he smashed into the ropes. I think it may have been a botch though because I think he may of been trying to go through the ropes to go straight to the floor.
If you guys have any questions or even better some feedback I would really appreciate it! My email is amdy985@hotmail.com.
