There was a backstage segment a few weeks ago after he lost to somebody where he took out his fake tooth and started acting crazy. I guess the loss made him snap. Also we're just expected to ignore his previous backstory because he grew up in the bush now.

I'm curious as to how Miz will use his finisher as headshots aren't allowed.

(It turns out they just cut away from the impact and called it the Crushing Finale.)

Tensai vs. McGillicutty
Raw recap
Beth vs. Kaitlyn
More Raw recap

I don't even know what day Superstars airs on anymore. Reports differ. Sadly it's the show that's been hit the hardest by the ever-expanding WWE TV lineup, but at least we tend to get a good match on Main Event to make up for it.

Tensai/McGillicutty was surprisingly decent and McGillicutty showed good babyface fire for some reason. They cut to crowd shots repeatedly because McG was bleeding from the nose a little bit, and one of said shots must have been from around 2009 as it included a "JEFF HARDY SWANTON BOMB" sign. That's just lazy, video editing guys.

Funnily enough, in the recent WWE magazine, Bryan said that his guilty pleasure is watching bad wrestling and named Santino as an example lol

Santino might work in this case since the show is for children. The Bryan/Kidd match was a fun little match that deserved to be seen by more people.

I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

Ryder really needs a new finisher if he's going to be one of the focal talents on SLAMS.

Jim Ross could call matches without going into babytalk about how after the airplane spin, they'll both be dizzy! Fall down go boom!

Or maybe you should hold children's TV to a higher standard.

edit: What I'm trying to get at through jokes is that I hate when children's TV is patronizing. Children are a lot smarter than people give them credit for, and if they are challenged to try and be more thoughtful, they will often meet the challenge. I would have eaten it up as a kid if JR and Grisham or someone explained basic wrestling stuff in an easier-to-understand, kayfabe manner.

It's a delicate balance: too simple and the kids will feel talked down to. Too advanced and you lose their attention. My 2 little nieces already understand the concept of sarcasm (as when my brother asked the young what she was reading and she replied: "Why? You can't read?") but still barrage me with questions about what goes on in My Little Pony and why everyone acts the way they do (you try explaining 'peer pressure' to a 4 and 5 year old).

I think that a wrestling commentator can speak at a "higher" level for Saturday Morning Slam so long as they're not relying on insider references.

Thauros

I haven't heard the commentary in question, but there's no reason why the commentary on a kids' show would have to be annoying to anyone over the age of 6.

The old Hogan era Superstars was also a Saturday Morning show aimed at children, but while my mom usually thought wrestling was idiotic she begrudgingly enjoyed Jesse Ventura's commentary.
