Jeff’s Thoughts
Tonight was an all right episode of Superstars.
The opener was an absolute bore, I am not a fan of Divas matches and they are hard to watch couldn’t get into it at all.
The Ryder/Primo match was OK but with Primo’s track record the writing was on the wall.
The main event was a repeat of a couple weeks back I liked that one and I liked this one as these two teams work well together.
