[edit] Show history

On December 19, 2008, WWE and WGN America announced an agreement to create a new weekly, one-hour prime time series entitled WWE Superstars that was to debut in April 2009. The show features stars from all three WWE brands. In early 2009, WGN put out a press release hyping the revived series and revealed its new time slot for its debut. Superstars airs Thursday nights at 8 p.m. eastern time and at 5 p.m. pacific time.[3] A replay airs at noon on Sundays on both WGN America and WGN-TV.[4] Superstars had its debut show on April 16, 2009.[5]

[edit] Production

The theme song for the WWE Superstars is "Invincible" by Adelitas Way.[1] WWE Superstars currently uses the same universal WWE entrance set that has been used for WWE's primary television programs WWE Raw, Friday Night SmackDown, and ECW on Sci Fi since January 2008.[6][7] Although WWE promotes the series as a television program that takes place during one night, in reality, the matches that are set for the event are taped earlier than the broadcast day. These matches are taped during the Raw and Friday Night SmackDown/ECW on Sci Fi recordings on Mondays and Tuesdays, respectively, and are then aired Thursdays during Superstars.[8] This also results in different commentators for the show, such as the Raw commentators commentating on matches involving wrestlers from the Raw brand; this also occurs with the Friday Night SmackDown and ECW on Sci Fi commentators.[9]

Speaking of which, why are we writing rps when MD23 isn't out in full. Are you guys low on a writing staff. If you had asked earlier this week I could have helped out.

we decided to go on with MD24. I know it's not the best scenario but people were anxious for the card & RP board to go up so all of us on staff decided to just move on to the next show
