WWECW had legit become my favourite wrestling show on the air by the time it was cancelled. How does Superstars compare to it? Does Superstars have story lines from week to week?

Nah, it's just fantastic wrestling for the most part.

Bit of audio desync, but oh well!

(at 3:34, right after the bell, the guy yelling "RUN! RUUUUNNNN!" cracks me up)

Legit one of my favourite matches of all time, and another example of how underused the Big Show is when they don't let him be his big, goofy self.

Also, Colin Delaney's storyline could have been awesome if it'd been played out a bit further.

Any update on what happened to him? He'd be awesome if he came back on NXT.

Outside of the Hardy Boyz, are there any other notable guys that lost their debut match but won world titles?

This is, of course, ignoring jobber runs.

I wouldn't say fantastic.

Superstars is an hour of matches. There's usually a bad divas match, a decent match and a good match. Every month there's one really good match. Rarely there are angles. It's an hour of wrestling I usually enjoy every week, but often forget about.

Superstars was also (from memory) outrating ECW in the last few weeks it was on the air, though ECW for the most part got higher ratings than NXT did.

Well, I'm sure you're in the best position to judge whether you'd like to spend all evening in the company of unwashed marks.

The lack of ECW means that it could now be "Smackdown vs Raw 201X" without the need to include 'Featuring ECW' on the cover. Also, NXT might be an interesting formula for a Road to Wrestlemania feature, starring your Create-A-Wrestler.

Also, ECW would never survive a PG rating.

I was just watching the raw from the day after WM XIV and he comes out on a horse on that one.

I realize you probably want a major PPV or something, but sorry this is all I have.

I read this really fast and saw it as Jeff Hardy and immediately wanted to see it.

For content did Tim White ever successfully kill himself? What happened with that, I'm assuming it was just completely dropped and never spoken of again.

I've always wondered why Finlay was called "Fit" Finlay. Was it just because he was in shape or was it some Irish thing I'm not aware of? It just seems like a lame nickname, especially for a wrestler.
