Quick hits on WWE Superstars
• I thought Dolph Ziggler’s performance on commentary during the Rey Mysterio-Mike Knox match on Thursday's show was disappointing. He seemed nervous and did not exhibit the cockiness that he projects so well in the ring. He almost came across like a babyface. Ziggler even failed to take advantage of a softball lobbed to him by Todd Grisham, who asked him where all his confidence came from. Ziggler said “It comes naturally. It’s just the way I am.” He should have said something like: “If you looked the way I do, you’d be confident, too. And if you had the skills inside that ring that I do, you’d be confident, too. Just like my song says, I am perfection.” You get the idea. He also was way too complimentary of Mysterio. Hopefully, it was a learning experience for Ziggler and he’ll get better.
• I liked the Mysterio-Knox match. I really think more could be done with Knox.
• The tag team match in which William Regal and Paul Burchill defeated Yoshi Tatsu and Tyler Reks wasn’t bad. I’d like to see Regal and Burchill as a full-time team. The problem right now is that the tag champs (Chris Jericho and The Big Show) are heels, and – unless I’m forgetting someone – Cryme Tyme is the only babyface tag team in WWE.
• Thanks to Santino Marella, that might have been the most entertaining Chris Masters match that I have ever seen.
Comments
Well after Legacy jobs to the returning (should be retiring) DX they can then headline a ppv with Jericho and Show, & steal the tag titles. Sounds pretty accurate(sad, pathetic) right?

How do you think WWE feels about the way their D show has consistently out-performed its A show for the past month or so?
This was even a below-average Superstars, but it was still infinitely more entertaining than Raw this week.

When was regal drafted to the superstars brand?
Doesn't that jerk Vince know that I don't get WGN?

@ Andy: There is no Superstars brand. The show features wrestlers from all three brands.

I would love to see Regal/Burchill fued with The Hart Dynasty. I think the Hart Dynasty could learn alot from the two of them. How about a Katie Lee vs. Natalya match?! It could be a great storyline like Regal telling David Hart Smith they reason he wear pink is because he will never be as good as his father and never be a bulldog. Regal and Burchill could even call themselves The Bulldogs. Just like in the 80s The Hart Foundation vs. the British Bulldogs. Plus more TV time for Katie Lee Burchill is good TV time!
