• Thursday night's episode of WWE Superstars featured two good matches and an entertaining women's bout. The best match was a tag team contest in which Evan Bourne and Yoshi Tatsu defeated Zack Ryder and Chavo Guerrero. MVP defeated Carlito in a well-worked main event, and Beth Phoenix beat Layla.
• Neither team in the tag match is a regular team and there was no story line reason for them to be facing each other. It was just four good workers showing what they can do in the ring when given an opportunity. As I've said before, if you are a fan who wants more wrestling and less "sports entertainment," Superstars really is a show you should try to catch.
• Considering that MVP hasn't been booked as anything special in quite a while, it was amazing how over he was with the crowd – even he seemed surprised. It's probably not going to happen, but it would be great if someone on the writing team noticed that reaction, recognized MVP's potential and pitched an idea to Vince McMahon that would give MVP a legitimate chance to get to the next level.
• Michael Tarver's interference backfired and cost Carlito the match against MVP. Man, Tarver just can't catch a break.
• Phoenix is connecting with the crowd as a babyface.
• The promo by Simply Flawless was somewhat funny at first, but then it started to become annoying. On a side note, Layla is an underrated performer, and if life was fair, she would be the leader of the group and Michelle McCool would be her lackey.
• When McCool and Layla were making fun of Phoenix for being masculine, Vickie Guerrero said that Phoenix could not have a shot at McCool's WWE women's title because she is the wrong gender. The truth is that Phoenix's gender is irrelevant, because not all of the women's champions have been female. Remember, Harvey Wippleman held the women's title back in 2000. Oh, and Chyna held the title, too.
• Jack Swagger looked more like a star and showed more personality in a 60-second video package than he has in all of his appearances on Raw and Smackdown since winning the Money in the Bank ladder match at WrestleMania XXVI on March 28. Ditch the guy with the constipated look on his face and bring back the grinning, chest-thumping, push-up-doing All-American American, Jack Swagger.
