WWE Superstars Results: DiBiase Commands Silence; Not Enough Hart in Next Generation

This is the first EVER blog post regarding the results of WWE Superstars. I figure if WWETheReturn is going to be a blog about the WWE, why not include it's B-List Show?

WWE Superstars airs on WGN American - broadcasted on the West Coast, so those of us at the East are out of luck. The show is a good place for those Superstars who don't have time to shine on the other three brands.

So last night's WWE Superstars, as do all, featured matches from all three brands. It opened up with RAW's contribution: Ted DiBiase vs. Evan Bourne. People were wondering what had happened to Legacy and why were they no shows on RAW? Well, as DiBiase explains, Cody Rhodes had to be taken to the hospital after Sunday's Hell in a Cell Match. After receiving a superkick from Michaels and a sledgehammer shot to the head, Rhodes was in no condition to compete, let alone stand. Doctors report that Rhodes will pull through and be back in the ring soon. And when DiBiase asked for a moment of silence for his partner - the crowds started booing. Now, it's one thing for the audience to boo, but what gives Jerry "The King" Lawler the right to see it as a dumb idea? It's a sign of respect, Lawler! And to note: the format of the announcers are way off. It's always been a Face Commentator and a Heel Color Commentator - when did RAW start having a Face Commentator and Color Commentator? Lawler should be siding with Legacy instead of DX. Same goes for Smackdown and their announce team. Well the match between DiBiase and Bourne was a vicious one. But as we have seen in seen in recent weeks, Bourne is now a Jobber for the People. Like it or not, Bourne is jobbing. DiBiase connected with Dream Street for the pinfall-win. And just to note: Dream Street resembles The Rock Bottom way too much! Except for the fact that DiBiase grapples with a Cobra Clutch before the side slam... but come on... it's basically the same move.

ECW's contribution: Sheamus vs. Shelton Benjamin. We see The Gold Standard wrapped up in heavy bandages from the assault caused by Sheamus prior to his match 2 weeks ago. Now, this is the first official match that these two have had against one another. Except it wasn't much of a match, but an all out street fight. Sheamus failed to adhere to the referee's 5 count; thus, granting Shelton Benjamin with the win via disqualification.

And the final match was SmackDown's contribution: Cryme Tyme w/Eve vs. The Hart Dynasty. Prior to the match, The Hart Dynasty was interviewed by ECW's Josh Matthews. Let's just say that The Hart Dynasty are terrible at cutting promos. I understand that Natalya is suppose to be the mouthpiece of the group, but when the other two start speaking... that's when you realize that the New Generation Harts do not hold a candle to their family's legacy. The match had Tyson and Davey trying to execute the Hart Attack and then Davey trying to go for the Sharp Shooter - but both attempts failed. And I'm glad the moves failed, because the Harts have a lot potential to be the top of the industry, and moves like Hart Attack and the Sharp Shooter would be great crowd pleasers in ppv calibur matches. It's sad that after all the Harts did to try to win the match, it was through Eve's interference that Shad picked up the win.

And this concludes the first EVER blog post on WWE Superstars. Stay tuned to WWETheReturn Blog for Full episodes of this week's ECW, WWE Superstars, and SmackDown.
