WWE Superstars Results: The Miz Punks Morrison; WSM Joins RAW Team

Last night's WWE Superstars featured a match from each show, and with Bragging Rights less than 2 weeks away, every match is crucial.

RAW Match:" WSM" Mark Henry vs. "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters. This was the final qualifying match for the final slot on the RAW Team, captained by D-Generation X. Mark Henry is the world's strongest man, that is not a moniker, he is indeed, but how would he fare with a bum knee? The medical bands around the knee of Mark Henry was the result of his tag team match, with MVP, against Masters and Guerrero just 2 weeks ago on RAW. How fitting that Henry would have to face, possibly the most impressive specimen of human body sculpting, Chris Masters. The match seemed decent at first, but it was obvious who would win the match. With MVP losing his qualifying spot to Jack Swagger, it would only make sense that the other half of the tag team would make it. Masters, near the end of the match, attempted the Master Lock, but, as King said, his arms aren't long enough to wrap around Mark Henry. With a quick release of The World's Strongest Slam, WSM fills the final slot on the RAW team.

The RAW Team is finalized: DX, Cody Rhodes, Jack Swagger, Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, and The Big Show.

ECW Match: Vladimir Kozlov vs. Tommy Dreamer. Last week, Dreamer and Goldust lost miserably to the team of Kozlov and Jackson, and this week would be the same in singles competition. Goldust already lost to Jackson on this week's ECW, it was only a matter of time for Dreamer to fall as well. Dreamer either did well for lasting so long in a match, or Kozlov allowed him to remain as long as he did. The Moscow Mauler focused on the right arm of Tommy Dreamer, vital to Dreamer's finishing DDT. But with an Iron Curtain, Kozlov proves dominate yet again.

Note: WWE Bragging Rights is a SmackDown vs. RAW pay-per-view, so ECW will not appear on the card.

SmackDown Match: Intercontinental Champion, John Morrison vs. CM Punk (Non-Title). Despite their run in for the ECW Championship back in 2007, Morrison (now a face) and Punk (now a heel) have jump started their rivalry. And so far the records stands 2-1 in favor of John Morrison. Filling in for J.R. on commentary, was guest commentator, United States Champion, The Miz. Both The Miz and John Morrison, former tag team partners, will face off at Bragging Rights. The Miz already knows everything there has to about Morrison's offense - so why was he there? - to screw up the match. It was obvious before the match started, it's classic wrestling feud 101. The Miz claims Morrison's downfall is his high flying, much like Jeff Hardy, and that in 2 weeks, the better of the team will emerge. Morrison had CM Punk set up for Starship Pain but The Miz interfered and attacked Punk, thus awarding the win via DQ to CM Punk. However, John Morrison got the last say-so by connecting with a Flying Chuck to the forehead of CM Punk. The record now stands at: 2-2.

Tonight marks the return of The Dirt Sheet. What will these two have in store for each other on the Friday Edition of SmackDown?

DX Unpopular in the Locker Room?

Its being reported that Triple H and Shawn Michaels are getting some serious heat in both the SmackDown and RAW locker rooms, because of the abuse in power. Triple H being the son in law of Mr. McMahon and Michaels a close friend, its understandable where this rumor would get its start.

Instances of abusive power: In the 2008 Draft, Triple H was traded to SmackDown as the WWE Champion, he would not allow Jeff Hardy to get the World Title push.

Another instance: The 2008 Draft was suppose to last a year, but a draft was held prematurely in order to move Triple H back over on RAW, due to frustration of not being on the top brand.

And another instance: It was reported that prior to the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view, R- Truth was ordered to remove his camouflage vest because it was gimmick infringement - DX is currently sporting the army look. - I wonder if it would've been ok with DX for John Cena to revert back to his Marine gimmick?

Fact: Fans love DX and that's what sells tickets. No one is going to buy tickets to see Finlay and Mike Knox, or Slam Master J and Charlie Haas. It just would never happen.

Dilemma: WWE is suffering from lack of future big names in the business. They are still selling the same names that made them big in the attitude era. Problem is that these superstars are noticeably getting older and the younger wrestlers won't be ready to carry the company after their departure.

When Shawn Michaels returned from his WrestleMania hiatus, he had asked Jericho who had been developed since: John Morrison, Dolph Ziggler, and Cryme Tyme over on SmackDown, but no one on RAW.

Truthfully, DX has given Legacy the push of a lifetime. To be known as the first team to make DX submit or to main event pay-per-views at such a young age?

DX is definitely hogging the spot light over on RAW, along with Orton and Cena, but more wrestlers are going to have to start stepping up their game. Shawn Michaels came into the business when Hulk Hogan was the sole mega star - what did HBK do? He worked 10 times as hard than anyone else by putting on the best matches possible.

So a shout out to all the superstars that complain that DX is taking over: Well then, make the WWE remember why they hired you by being the best in the world at what you do.

RAVE SUPERSTAR: Matt Hardy

Name: Matthew Moore Hardy
Billed Height: 6' 2"
Billed from: Cameron, North Carolina
Signature Move(s): Twist of Fate, Side Effect
Highlights: ECW Champion (1 times), United States Champion (1 time), European Champion (1 time), Hardcore Champion (1 time), Cruiserweight Champion (1 time), WCW Tag Team Champion w/ Jeff Hardy (1 time), WWE World Tag Team Champion w/ Jeff Hardy (6 times), WWE Tag Team Champion w/ MVP (1 time)
Entrance Music: "Live For The Moment" by Monster Magnet

Known as the Man that Will Not Die, The Sensei of Mattitude, (Arguably) Everyone's Favorite Wrestler... Matt Hardy begins the road to greatness 10 years into the business. The Hardy Boys started out young with a trampoline in their backyard, promoting their own show known as the TWF, Trampoline Wrestling Federation, with the hopes that one day they would make it big and become the World Tag Team Champions. Well that dream has been realized 6-fold along with a run with the WCW and WWE Tag Team belts, but what's next for Matt Hardy?

Obviously, the man has won some singles titles and made a run around as the face of ECW for quite some time. He was actually the first man to bring over the United States Title after being drafted from SmackDown - making the title exclusive to ECW for a while. He also became the ECW Champion in the 1st ever ECW Championship Scramble at Unforgiven 2008. He was known as a fighting champion, taking on all comers. Well, it's almost been a year since Hardy held a title, having since then, feuded and reconciled with Jeff. But again, what's next for Matt Hardy?

With the departure of his brother from the WWE, Matt Hardy was drafted back to SmackDown, seeing as he wasn't being utilized well over on RAW. Lately, Matt has not been seen on television, and the few times that he has, he's usually on the losing side. Just this past Friday, Drew McIntyre pinned Matt in tag team action. WWE claims that the reasoning behind this is for Matt to heal properly from his recently surgically repaired abdominal wall. Others in the land of the dirt sheet, are pinning this on Jeff Hardy's recent arrest. What ever the case may be, Matt Hardy is a Man that Will Not Die and hopefully that determination culminates in him winning the World Heavyweight Title.

This past Tuesday on ScyFy, Matt Hardy made a special appearance on the original series, Scare Tactics. A show hosted by Tracey Morgan, places ordinary people in scary situations with the intent to scare them. This footage, even though aired this week, is actually old footage as Matt Hardy is billed as an ECW Superstar. Hardy actually pulled off the psycho pretty well, but I wouldn't have expected any less as he does host and star in The Hardy Show online series: The Best Show NOT on TV. It would've been nice if the guy Matt was trying to scare actually got more scared. The whole V-Chip story line reminds me of the South Park Movie, where Cartman kept getting electrocuted for cussing.

Below is the Scare Tactics appearance of WWE's Own, Matt Hardy!

WWE Remembers: RIP Captain Lou Albano 1933-2009

This bio was copied from the Official World Wrestling Entertainment Website.

He was “often imitated, never duplicated” and rightfully so, because the legendary Captain Lou Albano will always be one of a kind. With his open Hawaiian shirts, outrageous facial hair and trademark rubber bands hanging from his cheek, Captain Lou may not have looked like much of a success, but his record speaks for itself.

Albano was an excellent athlete as a youth, attending the University of Tennessee on a football scholarship. After a stint in the United States Army, he began his sports-entertainment career in Canada in 1953. Albano soon began teaming with Tony Altimore; together they were known as “The Sicilians.” After coming to the WWWF in the 1960s, they defeated the legendary Bruno Sammartino & Spiros Arion to win the WWWF United States Tag Team Championship in 1967.

After the breakup of The Sicilians, Albano transformed himself into a manager, making it his sole mission to end the lengthy WWE Championship reign of Bruno Sammartino. This made him perhaps the most hated man in the promotion, but in 1971, he accomplished his goal; protégé Ivan Koloff defeated Sammartino in Madison Square Garden to end the Italian champion’s seven-plus year reign. Koloff’s reign lasted only three weeks, and despite managing several other Hall of Famers, Koloff was the only World Champion Albano ever managed. He would lead Don Muraco, Greg Valentine and Pat Patterson to the Intercontinental Championship, but never again tasted a World title.

Having been a tag team star himself, though, it was in managing duos where Albano excelled. In the span of 20 years, he managed 15 different teams to the World Tag Team Championship, earning the nickname “The Guiding Light” and a record that may never be broken. Several of his championship duos featured Hall of Famers, including fellow 1996 Hall of Fame inductees The Valiant Brothers and 2007 inductees The Wild Samoans. Mr. Fuji & Mr. Saito, The Executioners and The Moondogs were just of few of the other teams to become World Tag Team Champions under Captain Lou’s guidance.

After 15 years of being one of the most hated men in sports-entertainment, however, Albano had a change of heart. In 1983, he appeared in Cyndi Lauper’s music video for “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” and later claimed to be the catalyst to Lauper’s success. Thus began the legendary “Rock n’ Wrestling” Era in WWE, which combined with Hulkamania helped launch WWE into a new stratosphere in the mid-1980s. After a lengthy rivalry with the singer (which saw Lauper’s pal Wendi Richter win the Women’s Championship from Albano’s client The Fabulous Moolah), Captain Lou apologized to Lauper and became an instant fan favorite. Once the Rock n’ Wrestling phenomenon began to wind down, Albano led the British Bulldogs to the World Tag Team Championship in 1986 before leaving WWE.

In his time away from WWE, Albano capitalized on his newfound celebrity. He appeared in several episodes of shows such as Miami Vice before starring in the film Body Slam alongside fellow Hall of Famer “Rowdy” Roddy Piper in 1987. Albano also managed and performed with rock group NRBQ, who wrote the song “Captain Lou” in his honor. Later, the Captain starred in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show, a hybrid live-action/animated show; Albano played Nintendo legend Mario in the live portion while also voicing his cartoon counterpart.

After nearly a decade away from the ring, however, Captain Lou returned for one final hurrah. In 1994, Albano joined former protégé Afa the Wild Samoan as advisor of Samu & Fatu, the Headshrinkers. Together, Albano & Afa had success once more, leading Samu & Fatu to the World Tag Team Championship. The Headshrinkers thus became the final team on Captain Lou’s legendary list of World Tag Team Champions.

In 1996, Albano claimed his rightful place in the pantheon of the elite, the WWE Hall of Fame. Inducted by legendary New York media personality Joe Franklin, Albano was finally truly recognized as one of sports-entertainment’s elite. He was often imitated but never duplicated, and he certainly will never be forgotten either.

Albano died of "natural causes" on October 14, 2009, aged 76, while under hospice care at his home. He is survived by his wife Geri, four children and fourteen grandchildren. He was one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. All time.

Zack Ryder Rebukes Regal; The Hurricane Fades; Sheamus Reveals All

Last night's ECW further proved that ECW will not be a part of yet another pay-per-view. WWE' Bragging Rights is to promote the SmackDown vs RAW 2010, where the best of SmackDown and RAW collide in an epic tag team match by night's end, but ECW is still featured in the game. However, its not reassuring that the developers did not add Zack Ryder to the game. It also proves that ECW is not of the same caliber as either RAW or SmackDown.

The night started off with Ezekiel Jackson, accompanied by Vladimir Kozlov, against "The Bazaar One" Goldust. Jackson is impressive by size alone, not by skill. The "Juggernaut of Destruction," as Josh Matthews has named him, only has so many moves that he keeps repeated. And if you've noticed, both Kozlov and Jackson had to be weakened so as the other members of ECW to have a fighting chance. Goldust at times seemed like he could pull it off, but in the end he fell to the Ura-nage followed by and Iron Curtain for added punishment. When will these two improve their ring work? As a tag team they are not impressive in the least.

Following match: The Hurricane vs Paul Burchill. Now, The Hurricane has been absent from ECW for several weeks, and one would assume that he came back to win another match... But Burchill took down The Green Wonder with a vertical suplex... Call it a facebuster if you want, but it was a vertical suplex. What ever happened to his other move? He had a crazy finisher where he would elevate the person's face over the matt, and then force it down with the bottom of his boot. However something like that takes to much time to set up. But a vertical suplex? Really???

Sheamus came out to make an announcement and explaining what he hopes to get out of this feud. Shelton Benjamin is no doubt a pure athlete, a future champion, but he's been in the WWE for how long and he hasn't done much except win minor titles. So if a guy like Shelton can be seen as great without accomplishing much, then by the end of it all, Shelton will prove to be a stepping stone for his future. The Age of the Celtic Warrior will soon be among us.

Final match: ECW Champion, Christian and Yoshi Tatsu vs. William Regal and Zack Ryder. Prior to the match, Ryder confronted Regal for attacking him last week, and looked to set him straight since his buddies weren't around. But Kozlov and Jackson were there, granting Ryder's complete cooperation. Christian sees Yoshi as a future challenger to his title, and a viable asset to ECW. Tatsu once again proved that he has what it takes to be in the WWE, but it was the assist from Ryder that allowed Christian to lock in the Killswitch for the win. Ryder getting back at Regal for not only having Kozlov beat him up, but for intimidating him before the match. Ryder answers to no one, and no one should know that fact more than William Regal.

Ring Announcer Lauren Mayhew is doing better, but she's still not there yet.

Rosa Mendes is officially a member of the ECW roster.

Two New Divas Champions; Full Tri-Branded Divas Trade

Access Hollywood's Nancy O'Dell hosted RAW, and a strong minded host at that. She even issued a Divas Title Match against Jillian Hall?

Divas Title Match: Mickie James vs. Jillian Hall. Now, Jillian has been with the WWE for a long time, going through 2 gimmicks but never winning a title, until last night. In a major upset, Jillian pinned Mickie James to win her first title. The match was somewhat decent, except there was a lot of ring rust with Jillian, seeing as she rarely wrestles. But the look in her eyes and the spontaneity of it all was exciting to watch.

Until, Nancy announced that she had spoken with the other GMs about a Tri-Branded Divas Trade. And issued another Divas Title match against RAW's newest member, Melina!

2nd Divas Title Match: Jillian Hall vs Melina. Jillian did not want to fight because she just won her first title. But in a matter of seconds, Melina's hand was raised in victory as the NEW Divas Champion, the 3rd Diva in history to win both the Women's and Divas Titles.

The list of the Divas Trade is as follows:

Melina and Eve Torres: SmackDown to RAW
The Bellas Twins: ECW to RAW
Mickie James and Beth Phoenix: RAW to SmackDown
Rosa Mendes: RAW to ECW

Obviously, because of the trade, Mickie had to drop the belt to Melina, but because both are faces, an interim Divas Heel Champ had to be named, poor Jillian.

Beth Phoenix was not to thrilled of her new trade to SmackDown and took it on Maria Menounos. Santino Marella then issued a match pitting these 2 together - now since when did Santino become a GM?

Divas Tag Team Match: Maria Menounos, Kelly Kelly and Gail Kim vs. Beth Phoenix, Alicia Fox, and Rosa Mendes. Gail Kim started the match, until Maria wanted in, in which she showed off the wrestling moves thought by Triple H, a few kicks and arm drags. But when Beth came into the ring, Maria was in trouble but managed to bring Beth on one knee. Kelly Kelly won the match by pinning Rosa Mendes. In reality, Maria trained at a wrestling school to learn the basics before going into the match.

Congrats to Jillian Hall for becoming a Divas Champion, but better luck next time after losing it to Melina.

DX Captains RAW Team; DiBiase Pins Orton?

With 2 weeks before WWE presents its newest pay-per-view, things are really starting to heat up on Monday Nights. Chris Jericho started off by announcing that there will be a 7 on 7 tag team match pitting the best from RAW against SmackDown, and that he will captain the SmackDown team because he is the best in the world at what he does. However, RAW Guest Host, Access Hollywood's own, Nancy O'Dell cut Jericho off - because a member of SmackDown doesn't kick off RAW, but DX does. Jericho was left speechless - for once.

One half of DX, Triple H, officially kicked off RAW, with the time keeper filling in for Michaels, running around the ring and holding the mic like a sword. Triple H went through a bit of a skit involving phoning Michaels at home and peddling the new Unauthorized Story of D-Generation X, of course. Because DX, just like Gene Simmons, is the biggest merchandise peddler in the business.

Interesting point made for those of you who don't recall, not only can Jericho and Show appear on any show because they are the Unified Tag Team Champions - but Jericho is a member of SmackDown while Show is on the RAW roster. People just assumed both were a part of SmackDown. Triple H instigated Big Show into believing that Jericho orders him around, which broke into an argument of who really carries the team - the brains or the brawn's? It escalated to the extent that Big Show did not want to fight alongside Jericho but alongside his RAW roster. The team that is captained by none other than D-Generation X. But in order to land a slot on the team you have to win a qualifying match - arranged by none other than Triple H.

If you notice, Nancy O'Dell only called one match on RAW last night, the beauty of peddling your program, or in Maria Menounos position, peddling her new movie, without really doing much. The whole night was arranged by Triple H - issuing Qualifying matches while even Santino Marella called a match.

The 1st Qualifying Match: Chris Jericho vs Big Show. Now the stipulation did not apply to Jericho since he's the captain of The SmackDown team, but if Show wanted on the RAW team he would have to go through his partner. Show has a point, he does carry the team with that knock out punch of his, but Jericho rejuvenated his career: New look, new belts. If it wasn't for Jericho, Show would still be in dead end feuds. Show didn't really want to fight Jericho, but Jericho wanted to stop his friend from advancing to DX's team. Jericho even faked a knee injury to lure Show out of the ring for the 10 count, but Show still managed to block Jericho from the ring and thus advancing to the RAW team.

The following Qualifying Match was a Triple Threat: Legacy vs. John Cena. Now, only one can advance to the RAW team, which means that at one point in the match, Rhodes and DiBiase would have to confront the other. For the most part it worked like a handicap match with Legacy teaming up on John Cena. But with Orton distracting Cena, Rhodes didn't go for Cena, but his partner DiBiase for the pinfall victory. Thus, Rhodes advances while upsetting the balance of his partnership.

The 3rd Qualifying Match: Jack Swagger vs. MVP. Last week, Swagger made a promise to remain undefeated by years end, and after pinning Bourne last week - Swagger is 1-0. MVP is a former rival of Swagger's, once feuding for origins of upbringing, last night was a rematch of this bout. Last night's RAW program has been pitting tag teams against one another, (Jeri-Show and Legacy) but MVP and Mark Henry have not been together long enough to sell a dispute against one another, so MVP was set to fight Swagger instead. Jack Swagger pinned MVP with the Gut-Wrench Powerbomb; thus advancing to the RAW team and keeping the streak going, 2-0.

The final Qualifying match of the night: Evan Bourne vs. Kofi Kingston. The match was a high paced-high flying match, but as I have said, Evan is a jobber and what do jobbers do? They lose matches that is their job. So with that said, Kofi advanced to the RAW team.

The final slot will be determined on WWE Superstars: Mark Henry (WSM) vs "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters.

The RAW team so far is: DX, Big Show, Cody Rhodes, Jack Swagger, and Kofi Kingston.

Another match was also announced for Bragging Rights: United States Champion, The Miz will go one-on-one with his former tag team partner, Intercontinental Champion, John Morrison.

The final match: John Cena and Orton vs. Legacy. Legacy were still at each others throats for what happened in the triple threat earlier on in the night. If Rhodes were to pin Orton, he could be the guy to pin both of his teammates on the same night - but if DiBiase could pin either one of them, he would certainly build some credibility. Orton however treated this as a Handicap Match. In the end, DiBiase pinned his mentor for the win. With Orton livid of the betrayal, what does this mean for Legacy?

It was announced that John Cena will face off against Triple H in what could be Cena's final match on RAW.

This Week's ECW: 10/06/09, WWE Superstars 10/08/09, & SmackDown: 10/09/09

Fatal Four-Way Match Revealed; Ziggler Dumps Maria; McCool Dominates

Last night's episode of SmackDown started off with a congratulatory announcement to Undertaker's 7th World Title Reign by GM Theodore Long. The announcement was halted by the man who lost his title at Hell in a Cell, CM Punk, demanding his rematch for the World Heavyweight Title. Then that was broken up by The Chairmen of World Wrestling Entertainment, Mr. McMahon.

McMahon proclaimed that the World Heavyweight Title would be defended at Bragging Rights in a Fatal Four-Way, with CM Punk, Rey Mysterio, and "The Animal" Dave Batista. Of course the stipulation is being passed off as Teddy's idea - giving him more heat towards the Undertaker.

There was a segment of Vickie questioning Long's judgment of not only reinstating Hell's Gate but making Taker's first title defense a Fatal Four-Way. Additionally, she also badgered him for not placing Eric Escobar in a match on his first official night on SmackDown.

SmackDown featured five matches: Rey Mysterio vs. One-Half of the Unified Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho. The match was an encore for those that loved the Jericho-Mysterio feud, which took on the earlier part of the summer - battling for the Intercontinental Title and The Mask. We even saw an instance of Jericho trying to remove Rey's Mask, but even after a spine-contorting Walls of Jericho - Mysterio won in his second attempt with the 619. Jericho may have successfully defended his title last Sunday, but the rest of the week proved less than desirable, as he lost a match to DX on Monday and now to The Master of the 619. Mysterio has done nicely for himself since coming back from his suspension - a title shot for the Unified Tag Team Titles, and now being named a contender for Taker's World Title... unbelievable.

Next was a non-title match up between Women's Champion, Michelle McCool vs. Eve Torres. This was actually an enjoyable match, probably won of the better women matches in a while. These are two women that have been given the push from WWE and are doing the most of what they are given. Eve is still a bit new to the fierce competition that goes inside the squared circle, but she is improving vastly. Her drop kicks are still impeccable and her new maneuver, a standing Senton is a great new addition. Now, McCool actually countered a maneuver with a cart-wheel, and it wasn't won of those peppy cheerleader chart wheels, it was more fluid - like the sack people from Little Big Planet game? What was also impressive was the finish - a boot to the face by Michelle McCool for the 1-2-3 victory. Usually WWE overdoes the finish of the match needing to be the Finisher - in her case it's the Faith Breaker, but a boot to the face was a nice change of pace. I applaud both women for putting on such a great match.

The third match was for the Intercontinental Championship: John Morrison defending against Dolph Ziggler. Sunday's Hell in a Cell pay-per-view saw both the IC and the United States Titles both successfully defended, but Kofi lost the title to Miz on RAW, would Dolph follow suit with a win on SmackDown? The two put on a spectacular match on Sunday, that it's incredible that they could replicate another high caliber match just five days removed from the ppv. John Morrison is a fighting champion with a background of ECW Champion, Multi-time Tag Team Champion, and now a 3-time Intercontinental Champion. Dolph Ziggler has still not gotten his taste of gold, and after some miscommunication with Maria, his time to shine is still a long ways off. Dolph had left a chair by the ring apron, so when the time was right he would strike Morrison for the quick win - but Maria, innocently, took back the chair so she could sit and watch the match. Of course, when looking for the illegal item, Ziggler was distracted by Maria sabotaging his plan and lost focus; thus, losing the match. Shortly after the match, the following segment was Dolph breaking up with Maria, because he wants to focus on his professional life. Maria just has a tendency to go for the bad boys: Carlito, Santino Marella, and now Dolph Ziggler. When Dolph speaks to Maria during segments, it's actually genuine, but when he tries to cut promos or talk in the ring - it's just really bad. Ziggler has a future in the WWE, but John Morrison is a fighting champion that will not relinquish easily.

The fourth match was a tag team match: R-Truth and Matt Hardy vs. Drew McIntyre and Kane. It was the team of the North Carolinians against two dominating forces. Kane has dominated The Great Khali, and is now trying to find more victims; while McIntyre just wants to reach the point of his career where he's a World Champion. But everyone has to start somewhere and last night, McIntyre hits it big by pinning Matt with the Double Underhook DDT - but it was thanks to Kane's uppercut that Drew was able to lock in the devastating move. Kane and Drew actually worked well together as a team, possible tag team? Singles careers are the best way to go, if one wants to be taken seriously.

The final match was between CM Punk vs. Batista. These two men, along with Mysterio, will meet at Bragging Rights as competitors fighting for the same prize, The World Heavyweight Championship. Some may not recall, but CM Punk and Batista feuded back in 2008, during Punk's 1st WHT reign as a Face. Punk would always get away with his title intact, and tonight was shades of that feud, as Punk was able to deliberately run the ref's 10 count long enough to keep Batista out of the ring. CM Punk was declared the winner via count out, but it was Batista that looked like a winner when he Batista Bombed him. Could this be a sign of things to come, when in 2 weeks Undertaker will defend his "holy grail" in a Fatal Four-Way?

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.
