My Thoughts

Going to keep this short but sweet. I thought this week’s episode of Superstars was not good at all. It pretty much was a throwaway show and all 3 matches had no merit to them whatsoever and to be honest, were just filler to show the video packages hyping up Cena-Rock & Taker-Triple H for Wrestlemania. That is all I can pretty much say. Definite skippable show this week with nothing you need to show out of your way to see.

My Grade: D
