Mike’s Thoughts
Well that wasn?t the greatest Superstars to end my run with. The show was just one hour of no doubters. Did you honestly ever think the guys who lost ever had a chance? Two of them didn?t even get entrances. I have only two thoughts. One ? that must have been a tough twenty-four hours for Regal. He takes the Shooting Star Press on Monday from Bourne and then the 450 Splash on Tuesday. Ouch! My second thought is Jericho should not be wrestling on Superstars. He should be winning matches on Smackdown so he doesn?t look like a chump transitional champion. He is a transitional champion but they could do more to make him look stronger on Smackdown. That’s it ? I had a great time recapping Superstars. Keep following me on Smackdown and be sure to check out NXT!
