ONE-ON-ONE DRILL

UP AGAINST GOLD
Unified WWE Tag Team Champions Carlito & Primo square off against Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas in a non-title bout. Will the duo who dubbed themselves the "World's Greatest Tag Team" upset the titleholders?

REAFFIRMING THE FACE
Finlay hopes to break a streak of bad luck when he takes on Jack Swagger, who is set to prove he is still the face of ECW despite not currently having possession of the ECW Title. Catch the action on "WWE Superstars."

Superstars is starting to routinely become the 2nd best show of the week.

Colons vs WGTT was pretty darn great. I thought the Cryme Tyme interference at the end was unnecessary, and it makes me think WGTT might be transitioning into a feud with Cryme Tyme. I think that's a bit premature considering Benjamin/Haas vs Morrison was pretty good and didn't last that long. Anyway, I thought the interference was unnecessary, but at least it wasn't the sole reason for the finish. At least the match continued for a little while longer after Cryme Tyme came out.

Jack Swagger vs Finlay was short and a typical ECW match. Not much to say.

John Cena vs Ted Dibiase was better than I expected. Pretty good. The finish was hot, and the crowd was into it.

I don't know how this was taped with ECW, but if they taped Superstars before ECW, I can kinda see why the Los Angeles crowd was so flat for ECW. Superstars was pretty exciting with at least two electric matches, and ECW was mostly slow, long matches, and the 3-on-2 match was kinda strange in execution.

Dibiase should consider leaving Legacy since he seems to do fine on his own.

I thought the Cryme Tyme interference at the end was unnecessary

Same here. But it was funny seeing that older woman "raise the roof" in the audience when they came out.

Late comments from me on this last week, I'll be watching my RAW tape yet today...

I never minded Cryme Tyme on RAW, but every time they have shown up since joining SmackDown they just seem to be in the way. They certainly were in the excellent Colons-WGTT match. It didn't really hurt the match, but JTG and Shad managed to be annoying again.

I liked the feature on Adelitas Way. I really enjoy the Superstars theme song.

So I guess Finlay's eye must be okay if he was wrestling Swagger two days later.

I enjoyed the XBA logo as part of the "Denver Debacle" video.

Cena vs. DiBiase was a pretty good match. Two big thumbs up from me.
