Thoughts
I thought this Superstars was solid. Probably the worst in a month or two, but that just shows you how good they have been lately.
I’m starting to really like Masters again. I think his time off from the WWE was fantastic for him and it is really showing in ring. I really hope he becomes a big time player again some time soon.
The Divas match surprised me. It actually didn’t bore me. I think this mini feud with Melina and Gail Kim has a bit of potential, they are both fantastic athletes and are really good in the ring, which kills me to say about Melina because I absolutely despise that woman. At least she didn’t shriek this week.
The Mark Henry promo was pretty good from Henry, but I feel we have seen this from him all before back when he returned when he feuded with Batista, Undertaker etc. Which is why I’ve never really liked Henry, his character just really bores me.
Tyson Kidd and having a new manager every week is kinda a cool idea, but they are going to run out of people very soon. Personally, I like him having Matt Striker as his manager. The two just seem to look right and seem to have the same personality which I think is very important when it comes to a manager. I don’t mind Vickie being his manager but she’s tied up with Dolph so I don’t see her teaming up with Kidd unless the two split. Then again I could be wrong. But man cant hat woman attract some heat! I had to rewind the stream because I didn’t here her properly. Anyway, I thought the main event was good. Some may say it dragged on a bit, but I thought it was a really good technical match with a surprise ending. I honestly thought Kidd would win.
Anyway that about wraps this weeks recap, if you have any feedback, questions or for anything else you can email me on amdy985@hotmail.com or you can follow me on twitter @amdy985. Thanks for reading and I’ll see you all next week!
