Final Build To Backlash

I just wanted to note that, for anyone in the US, Superstars will have an encore presentation at 11/10c on the same night. Another replay will air at Noon/11c on Sunday.

[Dead Crow 370]

Decent show, I thought. Everything had a purpose and all the matches were pretty good.

[Maxximus 353]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

I just saw Shane botch the coast to coast, Cody sold it very well!

They taped Kane and The Big Show defeating CM Punk and Rey Mysterio.

 

Out come Jim Ross and Todd Grisham. That means that the next match was definitely for WWE Superstars.

 

Edge defeated Kofi Kingston in a long match when he hit the Spear and got the pinfall.

 

Hornswoggle and Finlay defeated Tyson Kidd & Natayla when Hornswoggle pinned Kidd in 30 seconds. After the match, Finlay sang an Irish song to say goodbye to Hornswoggle.

 

In the dark match main event, John Cena defeated Edge via pinfall. Afterwards, Edge got on the mic and said everyone is out to get him since he just had to have a match with Kofi before facing Cena. He said that he will get the World Title back at Backlash.

I understand that they were in London for all the tapings this week, but I am a little bit confused. Was the entire Superstars show taped before RAW or was it split up into taping before RAW and before ECW/SmackDown on Tuesday? I assumed that it was two different days since the ropes changed after the opener, but the spoilers kind of leave me disputing that. Anyone know anything about it?

[Guest Kanenite]

They taped one Superstars match, that being Hornswoggle and Finlay vs Tyson Kidd and Natalya at the Smackdown/ECW show. Bit confusing really as they just changed everything all of a sudden without any notice.

*Michelle McCool & Alicia Fox defeated Gail Kim and Maria.

 

Dark Match:

 

*Cryme Time defeated William Regal & Dolph Ziggler.

Wow, I knew that WWE was going to make Superstars a show for lower level talent, but they sure jumped from the big stars to the lesser stars. Last week's show featured Edge taking on Kofi Kingston and this week features Carlito taking on Ted DiBiase. That's quite the plunge. I did enjoy the show though. Matches were not very good, but I liked that each brand had a spot on the show with no interpromotional bouts. It's nice to see some of the lower talent getting a chance to shine. It's also nice that they are keeping the decent wrestlers on the show as opposed to having guys like Jamie Noble or Chavo Guerrero main event the show.

 

Also, what has happened with Gail Kim? They had her built up quite well for a few weeks then all of a sudden she is teamed with Maria and is pinned by Michelle McCool.

Gail Kim's push died like the minute she redebuted. WWE cant push a trolley these days, let alone a Diva. She's looked terrible in the ring too, although she's looked pretty ordinary ever since she stopped working with Kong, funnily enough.

*Goldust defeated Chavo Guerrero

 

*Kelly Kelly and Santina Marella defeated Beth Phoenix and Rosa Mendez

[Guest Dave7g]

So after 2 weeks it's even shittier than velocity.

[Guest JamesMXPX]

The Goldust Vs Chavo Guerrero match was not taped for Superstars, apparently, and was just a dark match before hand.

 

A special edition of the Cutting Edge with Jeff Hardy is on Superstars this week, and will be taped tonight with Smackdown and ECW.

Was sure they were going to make something more of Jericho and Morrison

[Guest AfroChocobo]

Was sure they were going to make something more of Jericho and Morrison

 

Agreed. Jericho is the PERFECT person for Morrison to cut his teeth on as far as a high profile feud is concerned.
