Tonight, Rey Mysterio calls out the Undertaker! Rey/Taker matches always seem to be tough ones for the audience because they are (regardless of alignment) the two most over guys on the show. Taker is simply not going to be booed. How will calling out the Dead Man end for the perpetual underdog? We go to the opening credits. (more…)
Hey, my Peeps! I’m back from a 2 week hiatus. I have been out of town skiing. Let’s get this thing started.
Match 1: Jillian Hall vs Kelly Kelly
Jillian comes out first and sings a Miley Cyrus song. Kelly Kelly interupts with her entrance. I don’t like diva wrestling, but Kelly Kelly has gotten better. She is still nowhere near good enough to be an in-ring performer. Why can’t WWE get women who can actually wrestle? How does TNA get women who look good, but can also wrestle? Anyways…Kelly Kelly wins with a Leg Drop to the back of Jillian’s head. Michael Cole called it the Kelly Kick. I guess we can go with that name for now. Too much time was devouted to this craptacular match.
Match 2: Shelton Benjamin vs Vance Archer
This match should not be on ECW as a top level fued for the show, so Superstars is the right venue for this one. I hate Archer’s tramp stamp too! This match is really clumsy tonight. Vance Archer is normally pretty aggressive and physical, but going into the commercial break, he really hasn’t displayed it in this match. We come back from commercial, with Archer in control. He is starting to be more dominant, but still seems slow and unsure of what to do. I’m not sure what to think of his character. The fans are really dead on the guy, but Shelton isn’t getting much pop in this match either. Josh Matthews and Byron Saxton even commented on how boring this match is by saying not to fall asleep. The clumsiness of this match is mind-boggling. It’s no wonder that Shelton Benjamin has never been pushed to the main event level. The guy can’t carry a match with a guy who is clearly low-level at this point. It wouldn’t surprise me if Archer was released during the next batch of firings. Shelton gets the win over the undefeated Vance Archer with a very anti-climactic role up pin. This match was awful.
Ask the Divas….yawn
Main Event: Chris Jericho vs Kane
Random main event match for Superstars…what else is new??? WWE has missed so many opportunities with Kane. He can be pushed to be so dominant if creative will just book him correctly. I also feel as if they have sort of ruined Chris Jericho’s persona. They have him cowarding out to everybody right now. They need to freshen him up a little bit. However, this might be the best main event we have ever had on Superstars. These two guys are Hall of Famers in my opinion. The match goes to commercial with Kane flipping over the top ropes and to the floor below. When was the last time a match didn’t go to commercial after someone went to the outside? Back from commercial and this match really picks up. It ends when Jericho cowards out of the ring and walks away for the countout.
Alrighty then…see you guys next week for another Superstars.
Happy New Year BWFers. Last night was the final WWE program of the decade. Hope you had a safe holidays. Due to time constraints, I will only provide the results of the show.

Hey folks, ThinkSoJoE here, filling in for tharvey1 who is on vacation this week.
You’d better watch out, you’d better not cry, you’d better not pout, I’m tellin’ you why. Santa Claus is comin’ to town – and hopefully, he won’t be singing “What’s Up” as he comes down your chimney. It’s Christmas Eve, it’s 8PM, and it’s on a network I don’t get, so we’re bootlegging it* for WWE Superstars!
*BoredWrestlingFan does not condone or endorse illegal downloads – but, since this show will be up on Hulu in a few days, I suppose it doesn’t matter this time. Hello, Mr. McDevitt!
Hello, all. Don’t call it a comeback. I’ve been here for years. Well, I was here last week if you don’t recall. Let’s dive in and see what we can find.
Match 1: Cryme Tyme vs Mike Knox and Dolph Ziggler
Alright! We have a Dolph Ziggler sighting. Dolph Ziggler has become a resident of WWE Superstars of late. I think it would make sense to have him on ECW right now. It would give him some exposure on a show that people actually watch on a semi-regular basis. Think about a Dolph Ziggler and Shelton Benjamin feud. That sounds great to me. But, I digress. I also just noticed that Shad shaved off his corn-rows. When did that happen??? JTG pins Mike Knox with the Shout Out. Todd Grisham tried to use the word “redunkulous” for some reason. He shouldn’t try words like that. He sounds “redunkulous”!!!
Trailer for The Marine 2
Believe it or not, I think this movie acutally looks better than the first one. It doesn’t look nearly as cheesy.
Match 2: Vance Archer (aka Lance Hoyt from TNA fame) vs Tommy Dreamer
Vance Archer and his tramp stamp look very generic, but I like his intensity…and they guy is gigantic. He has the potential to be ECW (or whatever they plan on calling it) Champ someday. Vance Archer wins with his Reverse DDT. Does that have a name yet???
Main Event: Jack Swagger vs MVP
Didnt this match already happen last week??? At least these guys are getting some TV time. Can somebody please explain to me how RAW can be 3 hours long and not have Jack Swagger and MVP on it in some sort of match??? Even Yoshi Tatsu and Zack Ryder who aren’t on the brand were involved in a 6-man tag match. Swagger has a match on ECW on Tuesday, so I guess that means he might be going back there. Way to drop the ball on this guy. Shoot…way to drop the ball on both of these guys. There was no reason to move Swagger off ECW to begin with if he wasn’t going to be used. Now they have to rebuild to guy. Kinda seems inefficient and unproductive to me. MVP hit the Drive By and the Playmaker to get the win. This match was great. I guess any time these guys can get on TV they better put on a good show.
Thanks for reading and I’ll see you next week.
We are just 3 days from TLC on Sunday. Here on tonights show the main event is Jack Swagger vs MVP. Where have they been lately???
Match 1: Dolph Ziggler vs Finlay
I hate Finlay’s “Hornswoggle” entrance music. I wish he would go back to his ominous Celtic theme. Why hasn’t Dolph Ziggler been on Smackdown lately? Wasn’t he on track to be the Intercontinental Champion??? ECW … or whatever they’re gonna call it soon will be the next stop for him. Ziggler wins this match with the Zig Zag.
Josh Matthews interviews MVP. MVP says he doesn’t like Jack Swagger and he needs an umbrella when he sees him to shield Swagger’s saliva.
Match 2: Hart Dynasty vs Jimmy Wang Yang and Slam Master J
This is a squash match if I’ve ever seen one. I assume that’s the only reason why these two have jobs. Tyson Kidd pins Slam Master J with some type of inverted suplex neck breaker.
Main Event: Jack Swagger vs MVP
Swagger grabs a mic and says he has a certain responsibilty and is held to a certain standard. He will let the children look up to him. He then proceeds to say he doesn’t have a lisp and then has trouble saying his name. Jack Swagger wins the match with his Gutwrench Powerbomb. This was a good overall match. Both guys should be in the championship race on RAW.
That’s it for me tonight. Remember to check out the Impact review, Smackdown review, and the TLC Roundtable on Sunday. See ya next week!
Last night was a lot of fun for me, although I had to work at 1AM following the show. PaintFingers and I took a lot of pics from the show, so we’ll start from the very beginning.
WWE Superstars aren’t strangers to endorsement deals, dating way back to Hulk Hogan doing Honey Nut Cheerios commercials, and probably even before that. Randy Savage snapped into Slim Jims, Mick Foley and Booker T shilled for Chef Boyardee, Triple H and The Big Show hammed it up for Stacker 2, and just recently, no less than Mr. McMahon himself, along with John Cena, did a spot for Gillette Fusion razors. What if more Superstars started getting into the act?
A couple of potentially lucrative deals for Edge and CM Punk are visualized by the BoredWrestlingFan Advertising Agency, after the jump! (more…)
