R-Truth interrupted Chris Jericho, who stated that he would go on and win the Royal Rumble. Truth, who pinned Jericho last week in their tag team match, not only insulted Jericho, but proclaimed that he would win the Rumble. Usually fans are behind fan favorites, but even the fans couldn't see Truth headlining WrestleMania. And Truth has to stop talking with a southern accent, no one can take him seriously as a competitor. He spends more time skipping and jumping rather than winning hard fought matches. I understand whole heartily that the WWE is catering to a family audience, but what happened to hard fought intense matches? What happened to superstars and gimmicks that we could scream our heads off. Where are the future Kurt Angles, the Chris Jerichos, the Shawn Michaels, the Eddie Guerreros, the Chris Benoits, the Stone Cold Steve Austins, the Rocks... what happened to real star power being seriously made in the WWE? Just because it's a family show, doesn't mean that the spirit of true compeition must die with these animated gimmicks.You Can Look, But You Can't Tell Them Apart
The last time the Bellas were in a match was in a losing effort to Maryse in the Divas' Tournament. However, this time, the Bellas stepped up their game and executed a higher quality match against Jillian Hall and Katie Lea. The Bellas went from drop kicks, to forearms, to twin related combination moves, the bottom line, the Twins were red hot. Much like Kelly-Kelly last week, when she defeated Jillian Hall, the Twins have improved and they looked good doing so.
Chris Masters Lost in a Sea of Spanish People
Chris Masters, a.k.a. Pecks Masters, contested this week in a Triple-Threat Match to determine a entry spot at the Royal Rumble against Chavo Guerrero and Primo Colon. Masters appeared with his Spanish girlfriend, Eve Torres, and was the favorite to win the match. I never pay much mind to these below average mid-card matches, but the aggressiveness of Chavo Guerrero showed promise of a good fight. At one point, Chavo launched from the top turnbuckle and frog splashed Masters and Primo on the outside. And later, Chavo side-stepped out of an oncoming Primo, who went head first through the ropes and into Masters who was still on the outside. Chavo vowed to make a name for himself and to be taken more seriously, well this match gets him just a bit closer in doing so. If Chavo were to raise the intensity of his matches, then I can see him going on to win a mid-level title in the near future, but as for now, he passed out from the Master-Lock, granting Masters an entry spot at the Royal Rumble.
Matt Hardy's Key of Destiny Stolen by Jeff
Last week on SmackDown, Matt Hardy pinned D.H. Smith in a tag team match, turned handicap as his partner Khali was of no use. This week on Superstars, Matt Hardy would go one-on-one with the son of the British Bulldog, David Hart Smith. In Matt's corner was Khali and Runjin, and in Smith's corner was Tyson Kidd and Natalya. Has Matt Hardy fallen so far down in his WWE career that he's tag teaming with Khali? Matt recently went through surgery for his burst intestinal wall because he refused to take time off during a big push in his mediocre career. He went back to back capturing the United States Title and then switching to the ECW Title and reigning as the face of the Tuesday C-brand. He later started a feud with his brother, costing him the WWE title, for a reason. Matt has not, and probably never will, captured a World Title. Etched on the pants of Matt Hardy is an emblem of a key that is suppose to unlock his destiny, but Jeff stole that key long ago. Jeff Hardy, despite his drug addictions and tardiness, has done something that his brother will most likely never accomplish - superstardom. While word has it that Jeff has jumped flagships and will start wrestling on TNA with his friend Shannon Moore, Matt Hardy cannot even manage to build any momentum for himself, as the only Hardy left in the WWE, to grasp the brass ring that has always alluded him. Instead of being in the title picture, Matt Hardy is here on Superstars getting pinned by D.H. Smith.
