Jeff’s Thoughts

Following the Wrestlemania hype heavy episode last week, the April Fools Day episode of Superstars was quite exciting.

The RAW tag match was a fun opener that had its share of fun spots my favorite being the out of nowhere Trouble in Paradise to end the match.

Tatsu and Regal had a good technical contest that continued the push of the very entertaining Yoshi Tatsu.

I didn’t see RAW Monday night and tonight was my first chance to see HBK’s farewell. I was moved by the awesome replay video that WWE put together. I thought it was a great choice of song that told a great story of the end of the legendary career of Shawn Michaels.

The Main Event was an awesome, fast paced, in your face match that showcased to young teams in the tag division. The Pink and White attack is on a roll and will be a force in the tag division very soon.
