Mike Knox' dropkick was pretty spectacular. I wish they'd let him win every now and again.

Swagger and MVP work well together, but MVP's finisher is LAME. How exactly is it supposed to hurt?

It does give underuser superstars a great chance to shine. MVP/Swagger has been excellent so far, 2 really good matches. Haven't seen ECW in a while but I'm impressed with Vance Archer. Cryme Tyme vs Ziggler/Knox was a good tag match.

So far, 2 OMG moments have come from the past 2 episodes of Superstars. Nattie's slam on Jimmy Wang Yang and Knox's incredible dropkick. Looking forward to next week's episode (which is on at 6am on Christmas Day and 10am on Sunday on Sky1 and on at 9pm on Saturday on Sky Sports 3)

I think it better than ecw now. The last removal of talent from ECW removed most of my ECW interest and before that I always looked forward to it.

I like superstars as its just 30(ish) minutes of wrestling and it can vary each week as to who is one it.

That's why the slogan for the show is "expect everything". It really is a good show. I'm surprised why more people don't watch it
