We open with an empty arena. Matt Striker is demonstrating the obstacle course the rookies will have to navigate. Which is much less annoying than season 1’s. The winner will have immunity from next week’s elimination. (more…)
We’re onto our second week of the second season of NXT with half of the roster yet to wrestle. Last week we had two tag team matches, pros teaming with rookies.
This week Kaval being “mentored” by Lay-Cool should break up that streak.
We open with Matt Striker in the ring. He talks about unanswered questions after last week. So they bring everyone back out to answer those questions. (more…)
We open with everyone backstage and Tiffany gets everyone’s attention. Tiffany talks about ECW going off the air but says it’s “not a bad thing, it’s a good thing. Everyone’s a free agent so use the next two weeks to impress everyone in the WWE universe and have a good time. She puts on some Mardi Gras beads and grabs a drink. When Zack Ryder questions her about this, ECW’s going off the air and she’s just going to party? “Woo Woo Woo, You know it.” (more…)
ECW’s got Vince McMahon making some announcements. And we open with Abraham Washington having ECW champ Christian on the show, fresh off his successful defense against Ezekial Jackson. (more…)
Why, hello everybody. I am actually getting Superstars done on the actual night Superstars airs. No time like the present!
Match 1: Ted DiBiase vs Evan Bourne
TD2 comes out and dedicates the match to Cody Rhodes. Ted pounds on AirBourne at the start of the match. Evan kicks DiBiase out of the ring and hits a high-flying move off the top rope to the outside. Bourne goes to the well one too many times and DiBiase catches him and throws him into the barricade as Superstars goes to commercial. Back from commercial, TD2 has Bourne in a headlock on the mat. Ted continues to issue a beating on the much smaller Evan Bourne. DiBiase lands a picture perfect dropkick…ala Randy Orton. As Bourne fights back, DiBiase hits a clothesline that sends Bourne airborne into a flip…pun intended. Evan Bourne keeps fighting and hits his usual offense and as he goes for a flying kick, DiBiase ducks and hits DreamStreet for the win.
Ted DiBiase needs to figure into the title picture at some point. This guy is Randy Orton 2.0!
Ask the Divas segment. God…Jillian is so ugly!
Match 2: Sheamus vs Shelton Benjamin
Shelton comes out with his shoulder wrapped. Sheamus starts out focussing on Shelton’s injured shoulder, but Shelton forces the action outside and is baited into the ring post. As the action re-enters the ring, Sheamus rams Shelton’s shoulder into the post again and again. The match turns technical, as Sheamus applies an armbar and arm DDT. Sheamus rips off the wrapping and continues to work on the Gold Standard’s shoulder. The crowd is absolutely dead during this match. Shelton gets to the ropes and Sheamus continues the beating, resulting in a DQ and win for Benjamin. As the ref is aiding Shelton back to his feet, the Celtic Warrior nails him with a big boot.
Josh Matthews interviews the Hard Dynasty in the Locker area.
Main Event: The Hart Dynasty vs Cryme Tyme
Eve is hot but she needs to quit dancing when she comes out with Cryme Tyme…she looks really idiotic. JTG and Tyson Kidd start it off and Kidd mocks JTG. Very nice athletic chains and counters are applied until tags bring in Shad and David Hart Smith. Here come the power punches and high impact spots. DH tags in Kidd and Shad fights out of the double team and sends Tyson Kidd out to the floor. Shad jumps off the mat and hits a clothesline on both members of the Hart Dynasty, as we go to the last commercial of the evening. Back from commercial, JTG attempts a pin on Kidd and gets a twoooooooooo. DH gets the tag in, but cannot overpower the smaller JTG. With the refs back turned, Tyson Kidd comes out of nowhere to dropkick JTG into the outside ringpost. This allows DH to get his power spots in. Respective tags get Shad and Kidd into the ring and Shad gets his power spots in on Tyson Kidd. Kidd makes the tag and goes for the Hart Attack, but JTG grabs the leg and trips him. Shad then hits the Thugnificent and Cryme Tyme gets the win.
This was a rather entertaining show for a Superstars airing. Come back next week and join me again for another WWE Superstars!
Hey everybody…I’m back this week for another review of WWE Superstars. Special thanks goes out to Joe for filling in for me last week while I was away. My DVR says Vince McMahon forces Chavo Guerrero to wrestle on his knees against Hornswoggle, so lets find out what happens with that.
Match 1: Wassup?! R-Truth be skippin and jumpin against Ricky Ortiz.
Ricky O comes out with a mic and says everybody needs to rally up their personal lives. I wish they would really get deep into the motivational speaker persona with Ortiz…that would be great. R-Truth hits the Lie Detector for the win against Ricky Ortiz, who seemingly dominated the match.
Mr. McMahon is seen in his office and Hornswoggle and Chavo enter. Chavo says the midget bit him and Vince says Chavo will compete on his knees. That should be a normal position for Chavo…I mean how else does he keep his job???
Match 2: Woo Woo Woo…You know it! Zack Ryder vs Tyler Reks
Tyler Reks walks like he has a surfboard up his butt. Matt Stryker and Josh Matthews have some witty banter about Zack Ryder being a tool and that clearly exemplifies how absolutely boring this match is. Tyler Reks is the master of the armbar and Ryder just sucks. I smell two future endeavores coming soon…hopefully. Anyway, Ryder hits the Zack Attack for the win.
Match 3: Chavito against the troll
This match is entertaining because its funny. Horny kicks Chavo’s ass for a little bit at the beginning and Chavo scurries out of the ring. Upon walking up the stairs on his knees and reentering the ring, Chavo dominates the “little person.” Hornswoggle bites Chavo and hits the Tadpole Splash for the win. This is getting rediculous!!!
Alrighty then. Join me again next week for another riveting episode of WWE Superstars. PEACE!!!
