Why do you/don't you watch Superstars?

[Alex Shelley]

Just curious. Seems like not many people watch it, and I wanted to know the reasons, as well as the reasons for people who do watch.

For me, I watch it because it's a chance to get longer matches for undercard guys. My entire career as a wrestling fan has been as a mark for undercard and midcard wrestlers instead of main eventers, so having a show just for them is nice. Some of the wrestling on Superstars is absolutely excellent. There are a lot of crappy matches but also a lot of really good ones (Evan Bourne/Carlito in February is still one of my favorite matches in all of 2010).

I used to watch it, but im more of a "storyline" fan than a wrestling fan, I suppose. And there isnt really any story advancement on Superstars, so I dont really miss anything if I dont watch it.

I don't get WGN America. :-\

And even if I did, I still wouldn't watch it, probably. Unless there's something like a 15-minute Evan Bourne match.

[brettappedout (BLM)]

Well I don't watch it because I don't the channel and I don't care to watch it all on YouTube. However if I read about a good match or two I will watch it ie Hawkins/Barreta, Barreta/Reks, Smith/Kidd, etc..

Also I do like the idea of Superstars, giving mid and lower card guys time to work and showoff there and not just in matches, but on the mic as well. Curt Hawkins for example was really good on commertary. He's better then Morrison or Ziggler right now in terms of mic skills.

Yeah i don't watch it regularly because i don't have WGN. But i will watch it on Youtube if Yoshi or @trentylocks is on. It's the only show they can wrestle more then 3 minutes. Also i'm sort of like OP as i am a huge fan of the low to mid card. It's why ECW was my favorite show.

[Soultastic]

I watch it. It's refreshing to have a wrestling show that isn't filled with storylines that try way to hard, and where I can see wrestlers who otherwise wouldn't appear on TV show what they are capable off.

[Big L]

Simply bc I like it

[The Tank]

Because I don't get the channel.

I've seen one episode of it ever. And it was alright.

[bob]

I don't get the channel

[Super Nintenjoe KBD]

It's on at 5pm on friday afternoons here which I think is a perfect time for a bit of mindless action, especially if drinking has already started for the evening! Often you'll have decent little matches like the recent Barretta-Hawkins encounters. And it also brings me back to watching Superstars in the 90's, meaningless random matches and lesser shown talent being shown, etc. Lastley, if there's wrestling on my TV Im going to watch it! Unless it's before midday, like Expirience.

[DASH 243✅]

like others have said I don't have the channel

[DSR]

I usually watch COMMUNITY instead. And, as much as I love midcarders, the matches on Superstars mean nothing. I don't like to see guys I enjoy basically spinning their wheels, where winning the match doesn't benefit them in anyway. *shrug*

[Chainsaw]

I also don't get WGN, and I haven't given myself the time to watch it online, although I should.

[Alex Shelley]

I honestly had no idea that the channel was so rare. Interesting.

[BK From WV]

I normally forget about it. It's on opposite Bones and I watch it. When Bones isn't on or a rerun,I usually am watching college football or NBA. Superstars just normally doesn't cross my mind. I have watched it before but I usually just forget.

Same. I like good wrestling as much as the next guy, but when I know for a fact that a match means jack shit, I just stop caring.

[Next Level was WRONG]

I like to find out what adventures Chris Masters has gotten up to since last week.

[Bo Rida]

I like watching Regal, Christian, Bourne and Goldust, I don't usually bother if the card doesn't appeal to me.
The Goldust vs Jericho match earlier in the year was fantastic.

[pink]

I don't get WGN, but I hunt down all the matches online. I love the show because for some reason I'm more interested in the Lower/Midcarders than the main-event, because the main event will always be the same guys, but the Midcard is constantly changing people, feuds, storylines, and such. Also, they have REALLY good divas matches. Instead of a Multi-Tag match that last 2 minutes, there are 5-6 minute matches with girls that can actually wrestle (watch any Gail-Alicia match on Superstars).

I don't get why they would put a show on a channel that 90% of the country doesn't have. it just seems like they wanted it to fail.

[Mozenrath]

I do get the channel, but I can never remember which one it is. Generally I don't watch because the show has earned something of a reputation for repeating matches. Harts vs Cryme Tyme for like 90 weeks will do that. The might be better about that now, but it still left a bad taste in my mouth.
