Inspired by the thread on the excellent Hunico vs. Gabriel match from the most recent edition of Superstars.
What are your favourite matches to show on Superstars since the show was re-introduced in its current guise a few years ago?
Off the top of my head, I remember:
McIntyre vs. Masters (they had at least a couple of matches, but there was one in particular that I really enjoyed. Unfortunately I can't remember the date).
Dolph vs. Kofi - from last week.
Santino vs. Ryder - for sheer silliness.
Jericho vs. Goldust.

I enjoyed McIntyre vs Ryder n2 in their minifeud.
It was a pretty great match. Ryder went the reverse of Super Saiyan, with his hair becoming more and more unspiked as the match went on which somehow sold Drew's offense a lot more than anything else Ryder did. Then Ryder hit a Rough Ryder out of nowhere for a win. That match wouldn't look out of place in a ppv at all.
...Except Ryder and McIntyre getting 15 minutes during a ppv would be ridiculously out of place, but you know what I mean.

What was so good about the McIntyre/Masters match? I keep hearing people talk about it but I've never seen either of them in a match that made me think "wow that was great!". I guess I just need to watch it but I'm afraid it's going to be just like all their other matches.

Undertaker vs. Matt Hardy?
Yes, Superstars was actually that important once.

Jericho vs. Yoshi Tatsu - I like the presence of main eventers, upper midcarders on the show because it makes it seem that much more important. Jericho made Yoshi seem like his equal, although I think all non-super heavyweights do this anyway.
Jericho vs. Goldust
Alex Riley vs. Jack Swagger - These two have chemistry that I think is underrated just because of the sandbag incident on RAW. Their first encounter on Superstars, weeks before the Ziggler feud was great, just because Riley busted out his "A-Bomb" (Chuck Taylor's Grenade into a People's Elbow like move). Then a few months back, they had another match with a great finish. Swagger just chop blocked Riley's leg out of nowhere and locked on the ankle lock.
Dolph Ziggler vs. Christian (a few years back)
Also like someone said, Santino vs. Ryder.
Natalya vs. Alicia Fox, just for the trash talking. I love watching them go at it just for bits like "WHERE'S MY HAIR?" I wish there was a male equivalent to that just for giggles.

Unless I was imagining things I remember Punk and Jericho having a really good match on Superstars once.

Jericho vs Goldust was one of my favourite matches from any event that year.

Jericho vs Morrison from the post Extreme Rules Superstars in 2009 was decent.

I remember a really good Trent Barreta match that I went out of my way to watch due to this board saying it was good. Can't remember who he faced though. Yea...this is a shitty contribution.

I guess I just need to watch it but I'm afraid it's going to be just like all their other matches. They had really impressive chemistry, and the way they paced the match made it seem like a real knockdown, drag out fight. Masters also sold the living hell out of his leg, if he wasn't legit injured then it was one of the best sell-job's I've ever seen. It was a hard hitting, exciting match up that stuck out from the usual WWE style. |

Daniel Bryan vs William Regal (Real Mans Man Theme)
Primo vs Tyson Kidd from around wrestlemania 27 time

The first Tyson Kidd and Trent Baretta match was fantastic. I also really enjoyed Drew McIntyre vs Chris Masters. David Hart Smith vs Zack Ryder was pretty fun too. I'd also say Tyson Kidd vs David Hart Smith when they first broke up was another entertaining bout.
