WWE Superstars 7/23/09 Review

Christian vs. William Regal

Wow, now this was a way to start off tonight's edition of Superstars. A great match with these two. Great mat-based wrestling throughout, which is expected of Regal. Regal's pushing of Christian from the top rope to the floor was almost nasty. Regal's half nelson suplex was very good as well. Not expecting that to be thrown out. Christian got the win with a springboard sunset flip.

Evan Bourne vs. Jamie Noble

I had almost forgotten Noble was still employed. But thank God he is, cause this was another hell of a match. Noble showed why he is a good wrestler and almost felt like I was watching an old ROH tape here. Noble tried to ground the high flyer, and almost had the job done a few times in this match. Bourne's jumping around the turnbuckle post to Noble on the outside was awesome. Bourne won with Air Bourne, the shooting star press.

A Chris Jericho hype video was shown here inbetween the main event. Nothing really to note.

John Morrison vs. Kane

I guess I got a little spoiled after two excellent matches. This of course was not as good as the two previous matches, but it still featured some good spots here and there. Particularly at the end of the match when Morrison back flipped out of the chokeslam. Morrison was able to hit the flying chuck kick and the pele kick near the end. He looked to springboard onto Kane, who was on the outside, but got hit with a flying chair from Kane to cause the DQ. Kane looked to finish off Morrison, but The Great Khali came down to ringside. Morrison used that to hit Kane with the chair before leaving. The Great Khali tried to pull Kane out to the outside, but was unsuccessful and Kane left through the crowd.

A really good night for wrestling here on Superstars. If you missed tonight, definately try and find a replay or something to check out the first two matches. If Night of Champions doesn't provide something better, one of these two might be match of the week.
