Okay show. This week's Superstars felt like a repeat of previous Superstars matches and a repeat of the mid-card feuds from each of the brands. Top stars of the show were Jack Swagger, R-Truth, and Zack Ryder, as all three men seemed to stand out. I was especially impressed with R-Truth continuing to stand out despite not being given much to work with on Smackdown.

The main event six-man tag match from the Smackdown brand was a carbon copy of the previous Hart Dynasty vs. Cryme Tyme match-ups, except Truth scored the pin for Team Cryme Tyme. Same conclusion to the show with HD on the outside pointing fingers at CT while the winners celebrated in the ring. Pinch me if I've seen this dream before. We'll see if this ever leads to anything of merit like a tag title feud once Jericho and Big Show split up sometime down the road.

Jack Swagger vs. Primo offered a nice, high-energy start to the show. Swagger looked more like a star than previous Superstars matches after getting some main event rub with DX and Team Raw for the Bragging Rights PPV. ... Alicia Fox is no Gail Kim in the ring. But, apparently Raw's pecking order has been established on Superstars the last two weeks: Melina is the champ, followed by Alicia Fox, Kelly Kelly, and Gail Kim. Jillian Hall is tailing in the BCS rankings thanks to a weak non-conference schedule.

This was a better episode of Superstars than last week. Neither show had much to complain about, but last week didn't have much to praise either. This week had more with two good matches. The first was the opening match of Jack Swagger vs. Primo. This was better than any match from last week's show and while it only went 6 minutes, it was fun to watch while it lasted. Swagger looked like a star in a dominant victory, but Primo kept things interesting with some flurries of offense in his comeback attempts. The crowd was hot for Primo.

The second match that I liked was the main event 6 man tag, Cryme Tyme & R-Truth vs. Hart Dynasty & Mike Knox. I am tired of the Cryme Tyme - Hart Dynasty feud, but with some additions this week I didn't mind, especially since it was a good tag match. I will say though that Tyson Kidd has too much talent to be in a go nowhere tag team with a dull partner in a go nowhere tag division.

Other than those two good matches, there were two solid matches and nothing to complain about.

Just barely a thumbs-up show, thanks in part to Swagger vs. Primo, the best match on the show. Crowd was definitely into Primo, which probably had to do with that being the first match the live crowd saw. He and Swagger seem to work well together. Fox vs. Kelly was messy at times, as neither woman is ready to carry a match.

The main event was fine, but nothing we haven't seen before. I keep saying I'm tired of Cryme Tyme vs. Hart Dynasty, unless they change something about the feud. Ryder vs. Reks wasn't much of anything at all, except for putting Ryder over which is all Reks should be used for at this point anyway.
