Quick hits on WWE Superstars
• I watched WWE Superstars for the first time in two months on Thursday night, and it wasn’t a bad show by the normal standards of the program. The best match was between Jack Swagger and Kaval. Kaval got in a lot of offense and had some nice near falls before ultimately tapping out to the ankle lock after outside interference from Swagger’s Eagle (how silly does that sound?). I’m hoping that Kaval always coming up just short in his matches will eventually lead to him scoring a big victory and receiving a push.
• In the main event, The Usos defeated Mark Henry in a handicap match. This was fine for what it was. The Usos used outside interference from Tamina to get the victory. I’m just glad they didn’t lose.
• Gail Kim and Alicia Fox had a good match, which Kim won. Every time Kim wins a match I think that she’s finally going to get a push, but it never happens. As for Fox, her win-loss record has been less than impressive as of late.
• Luke Gallows beat Vance Archer in a hard-hitting big man match. At first I thought it was a heel versus heel match, but the commentary seemed to indicate that Gallows was a babyface, and after the match was over, Gallows played to the crowd.
Comments
The Swagger/Kaval match was the best WWE match of the week.
It's disappointing to see one of Swagger's talent and entertainment value curtain pulling on the third tier show.
It was good to finally see Gail Kim get an opportunity, albeit on Superstars.
She's easily the most talented woman on the current roster.
Alicia Fox' recent record would be worse than the ever horrible Bella Twins, which is saying something about WWE creative.

Agreed about Gallows versus Archer. When Gallows pulled down his straps and screamed like he was sort of turning back to the old Festus days, he got absolutely no pop at all. I think it was Cole who said, "the fans aren't sure what to make of him, he's so intimidating no matter what he's doing."
A kick from a girl is going to take out Mark Henry? Really?

Kev nothing on the go home show from TNA? Morgan kicks Easy E in the chops with his carbon footprint and nothing? Ponder this, notice Flair's facial expression as he hugged the "out of it" Bischoff, I wouldn't be surprised if this whole Flair kissing up to Eric and Hulk turns out to be a GIANT SWERVE, how about Morgan (finally getting his push) with a Championship match against Hardy, he wins and Flairs Fortune helps,leaving sending Immortal to a backseat as Fortune takes control.After the match Flair comes out blasts Hogan and Bischoff with HIS MASTER PLAN, all the while a smiling new Champion (the Carbon Footprint Matt Morgan laughing and gloating by his side, Morgan goes on laughing about how stupid we are all thinking he "cared" about Anderson's concussion and Immortal is left being Mortal after all. Just a thought (really a wish). Also opens up a possible Dixie/Fortune tie in. What are the chances?

Every time Kim wins a match I think that she’s finally going to get a push...
You mean this isn't her first win since she's been back?

I though Gail Kim vs Alicia Fox was the best match of the evening.
