Superstars cancelled
 

...yeah.

Guess it's time for the next wave of releases.

Release Yoshi Tatsu, so he can return home to NJPW, and beat Tanahashi for the title.

Maybe NXT will be back on TV now.

hopefully not

damn i kind of liked it

Sort of surprised since the few episodes I watched had some good wrestling and it gave the lower and less used wrestlers some tv time but at the same time it makes sense due to the WWE barely referencing or hyping up the shows.

Most of the time I'd end up forgetting its on tv or forgot what channel it was on (Cox Cable decided to switch up the channels with wrestling a few times within a year).

Hope they release Chris Masters and JTG so they can go to NJPW so they can win the IWGP Tag Team Championship from Giant Bernard and Karl Anderson.

It's been over 270 days since Bad Intentions (Giant Bernard and Karl Anderson) defeated Blue Justice Army (Wataru Inoue and Yuji Nagata) and No Limit (Tetsuya Naitō and Yujiro Takahashi) for the IWGP Tag Team Championship during Dominion 6.19 in Osaka.

lol at DVLH saying Tatsu will go back to Japan after the next 'wave' of releases.

Is there a source for this?

As far as Yoshi going back to NJPW... Fuck that, Satoshi Kojima would job his ass out of there in 2 weeks.

Seriously DLVH84, go fuck yourself. This is TPWW. Only .0002% of us give a shit about puroresu. Join a different board you fuck.

Bummer

That sucks. Really lame, since it had some great wrestling on it.

Also, like Yoshi Tatsu has any chance in hell at beating Tanahashi. Tana is a golden boy.

They should just put superstars matches on their website. I dunno why they haven't done that yet anyway.

Websclusive SHOWDOWN

It was never available to me anyways, since WGN isn't really carried here on the eastcoast.

I got it on DirectTv at my father's beach cottage, but not on Comcast here in Mass

Never even seen an episode, don't get the channel.

I had it, but didn't watch it. Seemed like it was a recap show with jobber matches for the most part.

I'm sad to see it go because now I can't insult TNA for getting ratings lower than WWE Superstars when it does.

How dare you CSL!

DVHL84 has memorised the date of every minor event in pro wrestling history! How can you not be impressed with that?

The guy should go on MasterMind (or its US equivalent). He'd walk it. Although I fear his general knowledge may let him down. Doubt the guy can remember how to walk with all that space in his brain taken up by random dates, events and locations.

TNA Impact! The Only Professional Wrestling Show on Thursday Nights!

Yoshi is a pro on NXT, he isnt going anywhere till his rookie is eliminated.

<font color=goldenrod>Damn :( reallllly hope it stays web-exclusive otherwise there's really nothing for most of those guys to do</font>

Does this mean that TNA beat Superstars? Or that TNA got Thursdays so associated with shitty wrestling, that it destroyed Superstars?

... NXT is on TV.

Not in the US.

Only international markets still have NXT on tv but it might go back on tv in the US for Season 6 to go along with Tough Enough returning on tv.

Thank you, XL

Actually, I don't Google or Wiki at all.

Where did *I* say that you did?

See, head so full of dates that he can't manage basic comprehension!

I'm sorry. I meant to say that to our friend, CSL...I don't Bing either.

Do you have an Eidetic Memory, DLVH84?

<font color=goldenrod>There's definitely gonna be a handful of releases soon anyway, as always. Everybody will get their WM payday in the pre-show battle royal and then be let go by the end of April, possibly right after the draft.</font>

I don't see a *huge* problem with it. I expect a HUGE midcard release fest in a few weeks. On top of that, WWE is just too saturated on TV. Currently, they have 6 hours of original programming, 7 if you count AM RAW. It would have been bumped up to 8 hours when Tough Enough started.

But they've had a low card show for a long time, so I do expect it to either be picked up by another network or thrown on the website.

what happened to those "velocity is coming back!" rumors?

On the other hand, Superstars was, more or less, treated like ECW on TNN.

SO by the process of elimination does this mean that TNA actually beat WWE in this case?

I'll miss those rivetting JTG v Tyler Reks main events, thats for sure.

Superstars was my favorite show after Velocity :(

I don't understand why so many people have something against giving midcarders a chance to wrestle on tv. Is that a problem for you? Because I'm pretty sure you never watched the show.

So much for the Masterpush.

RAWWWWWWWRRRRRR
 

RAWWWRRRR I hate Raw because it's just main eventers talking for two hours!!!!!!!!http://tpww.net/forums/images/icons/icon8.gifhttp://tpww.net/forums/images/icons/icon8.gifhttp://tpww.net/forums/images/icons/icon8.gifhttp://tpww.net/forums/images/icons/icon8.gifhttp://tpww.net/forums/images/icons/icon8.gifhttp://tpww.net/forums/images/icons/icon8.gifhttp://tpww.net/forums/images/icons/icon8.gif

Oh ok, well here's a show with some lower card guys wrestling.


RAWWWRRR I hate Superstars because there's no star power!!!!!!!! http://tpww.net/forums/images/icons/icon8.gifhttp://tpww.net/forums/images/icons/icon8.gifhttp://tpww.net/forums/images/icons/icon8.gifhttp://tpww.net/forums/images/icons/icon8.gifhttp://tpww.net/forums/images/icons/icon8.gifhttp://tpww.net/forums/images/icons/icon8.gif

Personally, I prefer SmackDown! over RAW, because it's wrestling-oriented.

Thanks for yr. take :y:

Personally, I prefer the show that gives sufficient time, opportunities, matches and storylines to lower, mid and upper card workers.

Looks like Snooki came in to aid Zack Ryder in a Jersey push just in time...

Instead of feuding with Reks and going nowhere he'll probably get a huge push/feud with Del Rio.

ha

Ouch, Daniel Bryan's future just got cancelled.

I enjoyed Superstars, rats.

WHAT WILL CHRIS MASTERS DO NOW?!

well, there goes that new mexican's push.

Technically, doesn't your gimmick depend on his career? Like, if he dies, so do you?

I have a feeling of the 50 people who care, most post at TPWW.

Main Event Raw. He did outpop DX, after all.

what a knob you are

Impact has gotten higher ratings than Superstars for quite some time. I don't think Superstars was any kind of a threat for them. You can still insult TNA for putting Bully Ray in a main event though. I would.....

<font color=goldenrod>Regardless of what happens with Superstars - it seems like the vast majority of the Superstars brigade have reasons to stick around. Ryder, Hawkins, Barreta, and Smith are all good in the ring and really young. Kidd, JTG, and Yoshi have job security at least until NXT ends. Chavo and Regal also have NXT going for them and both guys seem like lifers even if they transition out of wrestling roles (Regal's already on the way to doing that).

Maybe it won't be that big of a spring cleaning this year.</font>

Wouldn't be so sure, Carlito got released mid season I think.

I'm gonna guess the second.

As will I.

<font color=goldenrod>Wellness violation. World of difference.</font>

This could only mean one thing...

...the return of WWE Metal/Shotgun Saturdays/Jakked/Livewire

Stevie Night Heat.

Last time I watched Superstars Mr. Fuji hit Crush in the back while he was on the ropes about to put Yoko away for the title.

I never recovered from that. I'm glad it's cancelled.

This is horrible news.

FIXED

A big surprise but not a total shock to me that Superstars was cancelled.

WWE realizes that product image has differed since 1993. I'm not even saying that tobe funny, I really think they've had this convo and maybe axed this show as an excuse to allocate revenue into other more "relevant" shows?

Which would make sense if they canceled it, or weren't the ones trying to get more wrestling on TV just like in the 90s.
