MAJOR MISMATCH
On tonight's edition of "WWE Superstars," by order of Raw General Manager Vickie Guerrero, Hornswoggle will face Big Show in one of the biggest mismatches in WWE history.
CHARISMA VS. STRENGTH
ECW Champion Christian will take on Mark Henry on "WWE Superstars." How will Captain Charisma fair against The World's Strongest Man and former ECW Champion?

FOOL'S GOLD?
Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio looks to make a statement on "WWE Superstars" when he faces off against Shelton Benjamin. Will The Gold Standard show he is deserving of a title opportunity?

I don't know why we got Big Show vs HORNSWOGGLE in an exhibition match or that it was the MAIN EVENT~! Why didn't they advertise Rey vs Shelton on RAW? Rey vs Shelton was the only match not advertised and it was the best one!

Christian vs Mark Henry was good.

GOLDUST coming out for the save on Hornswoggle was a bizarre act from the bizarre one for sure. I don't even know what to make of this.

Now this was a pretty quality episode of Superstars The ‘main event’ wasn’t much of one, but the other two matches were top TV quality in their make-up and execution.

I admit to not having deep thoughts on it, but I really liked Mysterio vs. Benjamin. It was a good match and liked Morrison on commentatary (Jericho and Benjamin in a bad haircut contest ). Benjamin wanted to pick a fight with Morrison and he certainly got it when the Shamen of Sexy punched him out.

I’m always in favor of seeing Christian in the ring and his match against Henry was pretty good. One would expect The World’s Strongest Man to be next for the ECW Champ, but I guess we’ll see.

And here is the WWE.com proof that Hornswoggle-Big Show was a mismatch:


Goldust saving Hornswoggle was a big surprise, especially since we see very little of the former I-C Champion these days, but I guess if anyone is going to side with a leprechaun it’d be Goldust, wouldn’t it?
