ECW Match: Shelton Benjamin vs. Zack Ryder w/Rosa Mendes. The third match between these top ECW Superstars witnessed a strange, but different outcome. On ECW, Ryder demanded another rematch to prove that he could beat him, but did he really earn the victory? By the end of the match, Rosa noticed Ryder's cellphone ringing and called for him to answer it, in mid-match! She actually had the unprofessional audacity to enter the ring after she dropped the phone. The referee almost called the match while frantically ordering her to get out of the ring. Even Ryder pleaded her to leave, until she screamed at a flying Shelton, leaping onto the top turnbuckle - in hopes of attacking Ryder, while endangering Rosa. Zack, then, knocked Benjamin off and went for the cover. What looked like another easy win for Shelton, turned out to be Ryder's big Pay-off for having Rosa at ring-side. In the realm of professional wrestling, a wins a win, and you win by any means necessary. SmackDown Match: Jimmy Wang Yang vs. Eric Escobar w/Vickie Guerrero. This was a disgusting display of professional wrestling. James Yun, aka Wang Yang, is an amazing high-flying wrestler who should not be jobbing to... another failed attempt of a Puerto Rican superstar. WWE should focus on building the Puerto-Ricans that they already have - The Colons - rather than trying with this uncharismatic "Puerto-Rican Nightmare." James Yun can actually wrestle, which is more than I can say for half of the WWE roster. Yun was a part of an amazing faction back in WCW, Jung Dragons, and to be in WWE as a jobber for Escobar? WWE clearly needs a real creative team that actually knows of which wrestlers should be pushed and others that should just be released. Eric Escobar won with a combination of Vickie's screaming and a running drop kick. Escobar covered Yang in, what I like to call, the Vickie-Mix Pin because it looks like the love making position he would apply on his manager/lover.
RAW Match: Mark Henry vs. Cody Rhodes. Last week on WWE Superstars, MVP got the better of Ted DiBiase, but would the other half of Legacy have a better shot of taking down "The World's Strongest Man?" And seeing as Randy Orton pinned Mark Henry two weeks ago, you would think Rhodes would also get the job done? We all know that WWE Superstars are pre-recorded extra matches, but to pretend that it actually takes place on Thursday is a little much; because this weeks edition of WWE Superstars saw the extreme difference between the Philadelphia arena and Madison Square Garden. Rhodes attempted to take out Mark Henry's legs, which, with two knee braces, seems like the best tactic to take down the Kool-Aid Behemoth. But the World's Strongest Man pinned Rhodes, not in front of the fictitious WWE Superstars audience, but the New Yorkers at Madison Square Garden. The World's Strongest Tag Team and Kofi Kingston enter the Survivor Series with the momentum for their team; however, CM Punk and William Regal, with wins over Christian and R-Truth, carry the momentum for Orton's team. Which team will survive come this Sunday?

So... WWE should only focus on a certain amount of Puerto Rican wrestlers at a time? Do you have a quota for other minority wrestlers as well?
Your question is cute, but you have a weak argument seeing as I'm pulling for an Asian wrestler, also considered a minority. WWE builds puerto rican wrestlers and then drops them like a bad habit. Seems like they are the ones filling a quota. Carlito was great, then he dwindled down. His career got pushed again with his real life brother coming onto the scene - guess what, they're jobbers now. Are you upset because you are of puerto rican decent; or because I'm pulling for the Black and Asian superstars? And guess what, the Asians aren't doing so well either. And, when was the last time that a Black guy was a World Champion? I was pulling for The Colons, because they had something great but they didn't run with it. They let it fall apart. And I do not support Eric Escobar because he has no real wrestling ability, and if it wasn't for Vickie Guerrero, Eric would not even be here.
I have no problem with Escobar being Puerto Rican, my big problem with him is that he is not a good wrestler. Just like everyone else that's terrible in the WWE, regardless of ethnicity. People should be chosen because they are good and have something new and innovative to offer to the WWE Universe, not just for the color of their skin. Put of course, WWE is a multi-billion dollar corp that must meet the needs of all demographics, especially since they wrestle all around the world.
