WWE Superstars

Guess I'm gonna dig this up on Youtube if I can...

Your hosts are Scott Stanford, Josh Mathews, Jack Korpela, & Matt Striker.

Alex Riley vs. Primo Colon: Stanford notes that Riley is wearing the baseball jersey of Ricky Vaughn from "Major League"...a nod to Cleveland as well as the Charlie Sheen roast this past week. Riley holds the ropes to block the backcracker, then finishes with the TKO(now called the A-Bomb by Stanford).

Mason Ryan vs. Drew McIntyre: A battle of United Kingdom imports(Wales vs. Scotland) here...I would have pegged this as the show's main event rather than DiBiase vs. Kidd, but that's why I don't run a wrestling promotion. Drew takes a beating early but gives Ryan a neckbreaker over the top rope, then follows up with a standard Rude Awakening in the ring. Even Stanford notes that Drew has hit the skids lately...hopefully he'll turn it around soon. Ryan cuts off McIntyre's run of offense with an overhead belly-to-belly suplex...looks like El Big Comeback, but Drew comes up with a flying neckbreaker to put a stop to it. That gets two. Drew beats down Ryan, but runs into the House Of Pain(swinging uranagi)...Ryan follows up with the Meltdown and that's the ballgame.

Brodus Clay vs. Joey Gray: Gray is known on the independent circuit as Johnny Gargano...saw him at St. Louis Anarchy not too long ago against Davey Vega and he regularly works for Chikara as well as Dragon Gate USA. Here...I don't like his chances. Clay delivers the Tongan Death Grip chokeslam but pulls Gray up from the pin...avalanche follows and the Fall Of Humanity mercifully ends it.

Ted DiBiase Jr. vs. Tyson Kidd: Interested to see how DiBiase does as a full-fledged face. Korpela alludes to an old rivalry between Stu Hart and Iron Mike DiBiase in an attempt to add background to this matchup, even noting that Bret Hart and the Million Dollar Man had some battles in the past. YAY WRESTLING~! to start...nice exchange of pinning combinations leads to a pair of early two-counts. DiBiase rallies on offense and clotheslines Kidd out of the ring...but when Ted Jr. follows him out, Kidd rams him back into the ringpost to halt his momentum. Kidd controls the action by targeting the back...but DiBiase finally makes a comeback. Nice flying knee by DiBiase gets a two-count...Kidd rolls to the ropes and suckers DiBiase into a neckbreaker over the ropes(popular move). Tyson tries a springboard move, but gets dropkicked in mid-air...for two! Dream Street is blocked and Kidd hits a spinkick, then a basement dropkick...for two. Kidd catapults DiBiase between the bottom and middle rope, then hits an inside-out slingshot legdrop...for 2 1/2. Kidd charges at DiBiase in the corner but gets boosted into a rough landing on the turnbuckles...they fight on the ropes with Kidd getting the better of the exchange...Merosault misses! Dream Street hits and that's enough for the victory!
