WWE Superstars 4th Jun 09 reviewed

Tag Match, Hornswoggle & Goldust vs The Brian Kendrick & Jamie Noble - Noble is STILL working for WWE? I thought he'd long since fallen off their radar. Goldust was probably the best worker here by far with one of his best moves suplexing Noble out of the ring over the ropes to the floor, Hornswoggle had a decent enough but very short run of moves and seemed to be VERY over with the crowd. Hornswoggle took the win off The Tadpole Splash but there was a visibly obvious flub where Kendrick had to grab him with 1 arm and repostion him for the 3 count, it was an ok match other than that howler.
Overly long video package schilling Cena vs Big Show at the upcoming PPV.
David Hart Smith (with Natalya & Tyson Kidd) vs Tommy Dreamer - Smith worked ok, Dreamer wasn't anything special. Smith certainly did a decent job of selling for Dreamer including taking a nice flying clothesline off the apron. Dreamer seemed equally content selling for Smith including some nice elbow drops, my only complaint about this match was it was a bit too slow. Smith took the easy win after Natalya distracted the ref allowing Tyson Kidd to kick Dreamer in the head and Smith made a roll-up.
Overly long video package advertising the upcoming PPV.
Tag Match, Chris Jericho & Dolph Ziggler vs R Truth & Jeff Hardy. It seems Ziggler fell into the WWE dressing up box and found Jeff Jarretts shorts and Sid Justice's vest? And Truth is still doing his "Whats up" entrance gimmick, rather surprising that TNA haven't put a stop to that seeing as he started it there unless WWE bought Truth and his gimmicks outright when he signed to WWE?
This started slow and stayed slow, the commercial break was taken at the worst possible time as well right during the match. If WWE events are pre-recorded can they not time matches to ensure commercial breaks don't happen whilst matches are on? Its not f**king rocket science, get someone to look at when ad breaks are scheduled for each show then work the matches around them.
Truth had a decent match, he always works well but was jobbing to Ziggler big time here which is really sad considering the amount of talent he has. Could he not replace the less talented member of Cryme Tyme? Hardy won this off the Swanton Bomb on Ziggler after Truth took out Jericho with a nice suicide dive, despite being on top for the whole match Ziggler & Jericho weren't remotely entertaining.
