With Survivor Series on Sunday, this is Smackdown’s last chance to add some fuel to the fire and generate some buys. After the Old School RAW on Monday, most of the card was flushed out. Are there any loose strings? Perhaps. Also, we have some future endeavors to discuss briefly after the jump.

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.
That’s it for this week. Catch ya later.
Hey, everybody. This week’s episode of Superstars was fairly entertaining. It at least furthered some storylines.
Match 1: Carlito vs Primo
Throughout the match, Carlito looked really apprehensive about apply any offense to his brother. The end of the match saw Carlito grab a mic and tell Primo to quit wasting his career and rejoin with him. Now the Colon’s are back together as a tag team contender and this match has no ending.
Match 2: Chavo Guerrero vs Chris Masters
This was the typical Superstars match-up that we normally get. Two guys that have no real direction and are thus thrown into a random match. Masters gets the win with the Masterlock after countering the Three Amigos.
Backstage Segment:
Michelle McCool and Layla walk into Kelly Kelly’s locker room and tell her she stinks, then try to hold her down for Vickie Guerrero to spray her with deodorant. Beth Phoenix and Tiffany walk in and break it up.
Main Event: Shad Gaspard vs JTG
This match was a good Superstars main event because it was a rematch from the Extreme Rules PPV. Shad gets the win with the STO after blocking a Shout Out. This fued is dying out now, especially considering they put it on Superstars. We shall have to wait and see where these two go after this.
That’s it for this week. Check back in again next week for another Superstars.
Hey, my peeps! It’s time for another random Superstars review. I’ve been lazy lately and haven’t posted, so let’s get started.
Match 1: Shad Gaspard vs Goldust
Unfamiliar, generic music (kinda sounds like a hip-hop gospel music beat) hits and Stevie Ray…I mean Shad Gaspard comes out sporting some new Harlem Heat looking short trunks. Shad has the serious character going, but the look doesn’t quite fit. Shad pretty much dominates this match throughout, which is a good sign for him considering all of the releases yesterday. Another good sign for him and JTG is there strap match at Extreme Rules on Sunday. Goldust got in minimal offense in a quick spurt, but Shad picked up the win with the STO.
Video package showing NXT and their version of Rock em Sock em Robots. Skip Sheffield won this and his face was plastered all over WWE.com on Wednesday.
Match 2: Yoshi Tatsu vs Zack Ryder
With Kung Funaki released, Yoshi is now the resident Japanese guy in WWE. Ryder has dodged a bullet so far, but how long can he hang on to a job? I like the guy, but WWE writers don’t have anything for him minus the occasional Superstars match. I think a stable with him and the Dudebusters would be great. Yoshi wins with a Spinning Heel Kick from the top rope.
Main Event: Carlito w/Michael Tarver vs John Morrison
Carlito says despite being one of the few RAW superstars that actually made it to RAW this past week, he was disrespected and not put in a match. Out comes the Shaman of Sexy, the Friday Night Delight, the White Shadow John Morrison. Morrison is really getting a push on Smackdown…or so it seems. He had an outstanding match with Jack Swagger recently on Smackdown. Morrison gets the win with a Flying Chuck as Carlito was distracted by Michael Tarver.
See ya next week!
