May 14 , 2009 Superstars results The May 14 , 2009 Edition of Superstars is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE , it was taped at the Nutter Center in Dayton , Ohio on May 12 , 2009 . According to the tale of the tape , this Thursday night had three separate David vs . Goliath match - ups , as Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio , ECW Champion Christian and Hornswoggle each faced off against men much larger than them in stature when " WWE Superstars " aired on WGN America . Summary . Despite Shelton Benjamin ' s size advantage , Rey Mysterio is The Ultimate Underdog and proved why he is dubbed just that with an impressive win over The Gold Standard . With a lot of fast - paced , high - flying action between the two , both Superstars fought tooth and nail trying to subdue their opponent and pick up the victory . The Master of the 619 was finally able to put away the gifted athlete that is Shelton Benjamin while John Morrison , who took a seat at the announce table prior to the bout , was clearly on The Gold Standard ' s mind . Following the match , The Friday Night Delight took to the ring to exact his own revenge on Benjamin after he similarly cost him his match against Chris Jericho just one week before . With tension rising rapidly between the two , what will come next in the rivalry between The Shaman of Sexy and The Gold Standard ? Also , with just three days before the Intercontinental Champion defends his title against the devious Chris Jericho at Judgment Day , will this victory give Mysterio the momentum he needs to come out on top this Sunday ? In a non - title match against The World ' s Strongest Man , Mark Henry , it looked as though the deck was seriously stacked against ECW Champion Christian on " WWE Superstars . " Although Captain Charisma has shown that he is able to overcome the odds time and time again , at points in the bout , it seemed as though Henry ' s size advantage and immeasurable strength might have had Christian beat . Thankfully for all his " peeps " out there , the ECW Champion used his whole body to topple the massive Superstar as he came flying off the top rope with a cross body block that allowed him to get the pin and the win . Now , Christian can focus all his energy on defeating " The All - American American " Jack Swagger in the ECW Championship rematch at Judgment Day . With almost a 3 - foot and more than 300 - pound advantage over his opponent , it was no question that Big Show had the upper hand going into this cruelly put together Exhibition Match against Hornswoggle . No matter how much heart he showed , there was almost no chance for Finlay ' s son to come out of this match against The World ' s Largest Athlete without sustaining serious harm or even possible injury . While Big Show toyed with the pint - sized Superstar at first , there were certainly no laughs from the WWE Universe or Hornswoggle as he wound up to deliver his devastating knockout punch . Thankfully , before a fist was thrown , Goldust came to the rescue , allowing Hornswoggle to walk from the ring . Unfortunately , no good deed goes unpunished , as The Bizarre Superstar was on the receiving end of Big Show ' s wrath and wound up being incapacitated by a devastating chokeslam . Was this brutal attack just a taste of what The World ' s Largest Athlete has planned for this Sunday in his match against John Cena ?
