This hour of television seemed to drag on forever with five short matches with four of them following the exact same formula of a heel beat down, babyface comeback, go to the finish with good overcoming evil or evil sneaking out a win tonight. Of course, the Bellas pulling a Finlay and using evil sleight of hand to overcome evil need not apply.

The main event tag match featuring under-utilized Raw talent was a nice conclusion to the show. They benefited from following four bland singles matches. Kofi was definitely the star of the show, but on WWE's D-Level show, there's not much elevating to be done. Meanwhile, Jack Swagger is stuck in no-man's land.

This was a disappointing episode of Superstars. Superstars is fun to watch when there are three matches, two of which get two segments. Superstars can still be good when they add a fourth match, leaving only one two segment match on the show. This week however, there were five matches (in a one hour show!), the longest of which was only 6 minutes. That is too many matches, making each feel inconsequential. I don't need to see a dominant 12-year veteran like Kane get a squash. What did that do for him, his opponent or selling his match at Breaking Point? Nikki Bella vs. Katie Lea Burchill was fine, but I'm tired of the Bella gimmick and Katie Lea has talent that is being wasted. Dolph Ziggler squashed Slam Master J which was nothing special. J hadn't even been on the last few weeks and has only wrestled once with this new persona, so I don't see this as much of a win for Ziggler. It was a waste of time.

I did enjoy Shaemus vs. Yoshi Tatsu and the main event tag, Jack Swagger & The Miz vs. Primo & Kofi Kingston. However, they were both shorter than they should have been. Those two matches should have gotten two segments. If that was the case, I wouldn't have minded either Smackdown brand squash. We definitely could have done without the women's match in this situation.

Quantity does not always equal quality, and it certainly didn't on this show. I don't have a big problem with squash matches: Both Kane and Dolph Ziggler winning in similar styles made sense. But it's not all that interesting, save for Jimmy Yang's squashes, as he always looks good in his offense and selling in them.

Like Jon, I'm hoping WWE moves on to something new for the Bellas. The twin switching gimmick is played out. I'm surprised they gave Nikki and Katie Lea so much time. Sheamus had a nice match with Yoshi, in that Sheamus came out looking real good. The main event tag was fine, but nothing that means anything for Breaking Point. Just a solid main event, which isn't bad. Hard to believe they couldn't find a spot for any combination of these four on the PPV.
