Match 1: Primo Colon and Jillian vs Yoshi Tatsu and Gail Kim (Bella Twins are Special Guest Referees)
Gail Kim rolls up Jillian with a very quick count by one of the Bella’s.
Match 2: Zack Ryder vs Goldust
Zack Ryder doesn’t wear the half pants tonight, but instead just goes with the trunks. Ryder gets the win with the Ruff Ryder.
Masterlock Challenge: The Dudebusters
First, Masters locked it on Croft, then he invited Baretta to take the challenge. As Masters was about to lock it in on Baretta, Croft jumped in and The Dudebusters inflicted a little double team punishment on him.
Main Event: LayCool vs Tiffany and Kelly Kelly
Really??? This is the main event? Absolutely pathetic. Layla gets the pin when Michelle McCool kicked Kelly Kelly in the face with the referee distracted by Tiffany.
Hola! Como estas? That’s the extent of my Spanish. Let’s delve into this thing.
Match 1: JTG vs Caylen Croft of Dudebuster fame w/Trent Baretta
I hate JTG’s straight hair. It’s time for him to go back to the braids. Speaking of JTG, has anyone seen Shad Gaspard lately? The Dudebusters suck…plain and simple. They won’t last long. Speaking of not lasting long, has anyone seen Shad Gaspard lately? JTG hits the Shout Out for the victory. He grabs some kiddies and celebrates in the ring with them.
Match 2: Luke Gallows w/ Serena vs Chris Masters
I like Masters, but he will never rise above being a lower mid-card performer. It’s rather unfortunate, because he is better than what most people think. Gallows should be further along than he is. Wrestling at house shows and every so often on Superstars is not indicative of progress. It’s almost time to break up the S.E.S if the only one getting over is CM Punk. He can do what he’s doing on his own. I digress. Luke Gallows gets the win with the Gallows Pole.
Match 3: Jillian vs Brie Bella
I HATE Diva’s wrestling! I will say that the Bella’s are smoking hot though. Nikki and Brie switch places at the end of the match when the referee was distracted. Nikki rolls up Jillian for the win. The official winner of the match is Brie Bella.
Main Event: R-Truth vs William Regal
The WWE really dropped the ball with R-Truth. He held the US Title for about 3 weeks and then drops it and is sent directly to Superstars duty. The guy is super over and super talented, but he just can’t catch a break. Regal should find a tag team partner (Kozlov doesn’t count) and go after the Unified Tag Titles. RTruth gets the win with the Lie Detector.
It looks like we will get a look at what happened on NXT according to my DVR description.
But first…
Match 1: Maryse and Jillian Hall vs The Bella Twins
Meh…standard Diva’s match. While the Bella’s and Maryse are hot, I HATE Diva wrestling. Maryse hits the French Kiss for the win. After the match, Maryse and Jillian harrass the Bella’s a little bit more until Eve Torres comes to the rescue.
Match 2: Vladimir Kozlov vs Random Jobber A
If I have to tell you who wins, then there is something wrong with you.
NXT Lookback
In case you missed it, Michael Tarver and Daniel Bryan (who is now known by his real name of Brian Danielson) were eliminated due to their comments last week and Skip Sheffield was eliminated by the pros.
Match 3: Vance Archer and Curt Hawkins vs Random Jobbers B and C
While we haven’t seen Vance Archer in a few months on WWE TV, Curt Hawkins hasn’t been for alot longer than that. Hawkins and Archer get the win here. I guess this is a last ditch effort for these two guys. Very random tag team. After the match, Archer tells everybody to pay attention. Hawkins says it couldn’t have been that easy to forget about him. He says they have been given contract for 30 days to make an impact. Whatever…
Main Event: Dolph Ziggler vs Chris Masters
At least this match sort of makes sense. These are two guys looking to get in the Intercontinental Title picture. Ziggler wins with the Zig Zag. This was a pretty good match…too bad nobody cares about them.
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!
I’ve been sitting on my ass the last four hours and haven’t even thought about Armageddon until just now. There’s less than 8 minutes until the show, so I’m going to run through the card real quick and give you my predictions!
Jericho vs. Cena – World Title – Cena
Edge vs. Jeff Hardy vs. HHH – Edge.
CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio – Punk. I was going to say Mysterio, but after Punk dropped the tag titles last night, it seems more logical that he’d be in line for the Intercontinental Championship.
Matt Hardy vs. Vladimir Kozlov – Kozlov
Batista vs. Randy Orton – Orton
Michelle McCool, Maria, Mickie James & Kelly Kelly vs. Victoria, Natalya, Jillian & Maryse – I didn’t even know about this one, but I’m going to say Victoria’s team.
Finlay vs. Mark Henry – Whoever wins, hopefully this will be the end of it. Which would indicate that Finlay will probably win.
Enjoy Armageddon, I’ll be around tomorrow with a review!
