WWE Superstars 7th May 09 reviewed

Show opens with Edge coming out to waffle with Jeff Hardy, Edge gets an ass-kicking for his troubles.

Diva Tag Match - Santina & Kelly Kelly vs Rosa Mendes & Beth Phoenix. Do WWE really value their women so lowly that they have to throw a man in drag into this bringing it down to gimmick match status? Thankfully Santina was out quickly and Kelly made a nicely sold snap Hurricanrana into a near fall on Phoenix, the headscissors was WAY oversold and clearly Kelly isn't that well versed in WWE history by doing her springboard backsplash (she doesn't remember how badly injured Chyna got doing that very same move).

To be honest this match was mainly Kelly (she's a noisy little f**ker isn't she, more pornstar moans than convincingly sounding in pain) but the match was slowed down at the wrong time with the weardown move by Mendes on Kelly. Kelly made the pin on Mendes (was Mendes even legal?) in a fairly average match. Kelly Kelly is a good worker as she showed here, maybe if she wound her vocal reactions down a few notches she'd be a bit more bearable.

Finlay vs Zack Ryder. It seems Ryder fell into the WWE dressing up box and came out wearing Grand Master Sexays outfit? Not a great match (And I'm being overly generous saying that), I couldn't really tell who was supposed to be getting over here. Ryder didn't show much in the way of skill & Finlay hasn't never been overly talented (can anyone believe he used to be a trainer at WCW's Powerplant?) even at his best which was in his WCW hardcore days. Finlay took the eventual win in this very dull match, shouldn't Finlay really be considering retirement at his age?

Chris Jericho vs John Morrison. So Jericho is sticking with the "Eddie Izzards fatter brother" image? It's still not working for him. Truly s**t match with f**k all action, Jericho took the win off The Codebreaker after Morrison was distracted by Shelton Benjamin on the Titantron.

This was 3 average at best matches, the women worked well but having Santino in there just dragged the match down to ridiculous status. Phoenix & Kelly worked well together, I didn't really see enough of Mendes to form a fair opinion. Santino is s**t and always has been, his gimmick is c**p and the female gimmick is even worse. This show hasn't been able to impress yet and its keeping up the bad work. Way to go WWE.
