Since no one cares about TNA.

And this will probably just be me and G4Fan commenting here but why not...

So...for those who watched the 6/7 Raw (I've read about the ending but not seen it yet) was it as awesome as it sounds?

SPOILER: Click to show

The Season One NXTers came out and beat up CM Punk and Cena (they were the main event) and tore up the set at the end of the show. Why did they even waste time building them up as heels and faces if they were just going to turn them all heel en masse? And will this just end up being the one millionth variation on the nWo (which wasn't an original idea to begin with)?

Hey, I like wrestling.

As for RAW, the ending was very interesting to watch. At first, I was confused when I saw Michael Tarvard there but it made sense when I saw everybody else. I'm not sure where they will be going with this but they definitely caused me to continue watching NXT.

The destruction was actually really cool to watch because they tore apart everything, including the security railing. And they even beat up everyone around the ring including some random stage guy. Personally, I was very happy to see Matt Striker have his head kicked in. Though I was very disappointed to find out that Cole got away!

I'm going to guess that they were the ones to attack the Undertaker, but that leaves a few continuity problems since the attack took place before the season finale of NXT.

I'm interested to see what happens with this plot, but I hope it's not just another Invasion plot. It simply won't work.

As long as they don't draw it out too long or dilute it by adding too many people they'll be fine but since this is the WWE something will probably go wrong along the way.

That was the best ending of Raw ever. EVER. I bet G4fan and Jaggard in the chat last night that that would be the reason for canceling NXT season 2(despite the fact that G4 is super excited for Percy Jackson/DJ Gabriel). I saw them all in the ring with Cena(before the attack) and thought, "Cena's gonna get gang-raped" and I was right! that made me 7/9 in the picks.

Rating for the Show: 6 stars out of 5(Kozlov's dancing alone is 1000000000/5 stars)

Michael Cole is the master mind. Enough said.

It's WATSON Chief......WATSON.....

lol Someone said "Little rear-end kissers" on the facebook page describing Season 1 destroying Raw. I think its very plausible they all teamed up because they knew even despite Barrett's win, they will take a backseat. Also, Barrett claimed there will be "winds of change"...what better way to start that than to attack the face of the company? As long as they establish these eight and no one else, it should work. IMO, this is how the InVasion should have started, but it's too late to solve that now.

And people care about TNA......they just don't admit it

EDIT: Dear lord, I just remember, Justin Roberts is a trooper for pretty much getting most disturbing attack in a long time.

[lostinube]

Ugh. I hope Cole isn't the leader. That would negate the good feelings I got from the angle with Daniel Bryan Danielson. Unless it leads to more Cole beatdowns. I can get behind that.

[The Chief]

Well, NXT Season 2 Episode 1 is done.

SPOILER: Click to show

First two matches were good. Eli Cottonwood impressed me, and Percy WATSON did well. Overall, I think Cottonwood was better. Titus O'Neil is okay, didn't see much of his skill in the match, though(wasn't playing close attention). Husky Harris did impress me, mixing a large body with good speed(he was compared to Jeremy Shockey). At the end, the Pros jumped the Rookies, which was initiated by McCool slapping Kaval(at which point I thought, "them bitches gon get it!") followed by a brawl reminiscent of Monday.

Oh, Ube, Cole got called crazy by Matthews after Cole complimented the Miz.

Overall rating: 3

[Badalight]

It sucks because Undertaker is injured, so no reason to watch ;(

[lostinube]

Not having the Undertaker, Triple Owner's-Son-in-Law and Shawn Michaels around would make this the best time to introduce and get into fresher faces.

I hope hope hope that Cole only sticks to being a Miz cheerleader and isn't the NXT "mole." Striker makes more sense in that role since he was an indy guy.

[HarlequinKnight]

Just watched the end of the Cena beatdown, it was incredibly entertaining. But as much as I enjoyed the Aliance storyline all those years ago, I generally don't enjoy stable-based angles, so I'm looking at this and hoping that it either doesn't go for too long, or is a midcard angle that I can easily and happily ignore.

Right now I'm not really caring about the WWE as a whole though, there aren't any angles that I'm enjoying, the guest hosts generally irritate me, and Vickie Guerrero's voice is enough for me to change the channel. Only angle I'm following with any interest is the Orton/Edge one, as I love watching both of them perform.

[TCM]

Well SmackDown is tonight (although I think Australia has it aired already -- there's somewhere that already has it aired). Maybe a NXT appearance besides the obvious recap?

I don't remember where I saw it but I believe the NXT involvement was relegated to just promos. Not sure what they will show in TV. They've also run a Miz/Christian vs. Bryan/Slater match in FCW. I believe the theory is that they are saving the angle for the main show (RAW).

[lostinube]

Work or one of the dumber things the WWE has done recently?
us.wwe.com/inside/news/14734694

[The Chief]

both.

[2D2Will]

WHAT?!

We have to listen to Cole b**** about Bryan for weeks, resulting in the only interesting plot of NXT and his involvement with the big beat down, and we don't even get a satisfying conclusion with his character?!

BULLS***!

[lostinube]

If we are all being worked, so be it. It's nice to have some uncertainty once in a while.

The people who needed to know were told that Bryan Danielson was fired for choking ring announcer Justin Roberts with his tie during the angle on Monday night. That shot was edited from replays of the show. It's not known why this would lead to someone getting fired and from all accounts, Danielson was described as the type of person you want a dressing room filled with.

The choking with a tie was described as being too violent for what is allowed on WWE television.

www.f4wonline.com/content/view/13692/

Within WWE, the word has been sent out internally that the Bryan Danielson firing is legitimate the same way any other firing would be done. All the higher-ups in the company were informed that he was gone before the item that everyone assumes to be a work was put on the web site. It's difficult to believe given the timing that it could possibly be legitimate. The idea they would work their own employees on a wrestling angle is also hard to fathom given the history of companies that have done that.

The creative team was also told today that he's gone.

www.f4wonline.com/content/view/13691/

Of course this happened between all that so...

[RobbyMac]

Read the last paragraph.... He won't be gone for long.

- As noted before, the reason being told for Daniel Bryan's release is because of him choking Justin Roberts with his own tie during the NXT invasion angle on RAW.

Word is that someone very important complained to WWE officials about the angle with the idea that kids who were watching may think it's fun to choke people with their ties. It's unknown who actually complained but it had to be someone with a lot of power.

Bryan is being described as a scapegoat. WWE does want to bring him back to the roster once the whole thing blows over

[2D2Will]

I don't understand why choking Roberts would get him fired though. Sure, it was an intense moment, but the whole thing was supposed to be intense. If anything, it would make sense for him to get a fine for making a mistake.
