My Thoughts

Going to keep my thoughts short and sweet this week. Thought this was a good episode of Superstars this week.

Gabriel/Hawkins & Riley/McGillicutty were solid matches, with all 4 giving a good effort and improving in their work with every match, nice to see it. Finally, no other words than awesome for Daniel Bryan vs. William Regal. If you want to see pro wrestling in its purest form with superb grappling and vicious strikes, then this is a textbook example of that. Highly recommend check this match out for any fan of pro wrestling, just great stuff.

My Grade: B

Well that will do it for me this week, want to thank you all for reading my recap and I will be back next week for all your Superstars, FCW, and Ring of Honor needs. Have a good weekend, see ya next week!
