“Yes, sir, we promised you a great main event…” The WWE video leads us into the show.

The intro video plays and we’re brought into the arena with some fireworks. It was pretty hilarious to see a whole row of people get the crap scared out of them by the boom. Jack Korpela and Matt Striker welcome us to the show. Tonight’s main event comes from Raw. It’ll be Daniel Bryan and Gail Kim taking on Tyson Kidd and Melina.

They show the video where the WWE Superstars and legends talk about Triple H and the Undertaker’s upcoming WrestleMania match. I’m sorry but so many of their comments seem so forced.

Mike’s Thoughts

This wasn’t a bad edition of Superstars. We had two pretty good matches and an excellent main event. I still think Gail Kim is a bit of a spot monkey but every now and then she clicks in the ring with her opponent and tonight was the night. It doesn’t hurt that the two divas had an excellent supporting cast in Daniel Bryan and Tyson Kidd. If Kidd didn’t look so damn goofy he’d be a really decent heel in WWE. The guy can really go in the ring.

How many more times can we see Chris Masters and Tyler Reks fight? Seriously, it’s ridiculous. I have to give them props, though. They’ve wrestled each other a million times now and they do manage to put out a decent match nearly every time.

Final Rating: ** 1/2
