I had a long post about the ending but I deleted it. I'm not really sure how I feel about it yet. On one hand, I'm annoyed that I have to see some of those guys still. I was looking forward to being done with 3/4 of them. The attack doesn't really make sense to me as they were JUST feuding last week and now they suddenly have arm bands and really seem to hate desk chairs.

On the positive side, it was refreshing and a total surprise. They could actually have something here with this stable so long as they don't screw it up. Some how, I see this being another Invasion. Interesting at first, then completely forgotten.

Brian Danielson is awesome and stole the show with his screaming. I hope they fix some of these guys looks, though. It's really hard to take Darren Young seriously. Same goes for Skip Sheffield. (Yep, yep, yep. What it do)

How funny would it have been if that "Wild and Young" played after the attack.

My exact quote tonight to my friends was "These guys just hate office chairs" I couldn't get past that. It seemed like their top priority was to destroy those things. An honorable mention goes to them pulling back the table and Lawler was STILL lying under there. He must have been there for like 10 minutes on the floor.

Whats funny to think about is, how since the fans voted tonight and CM Punk was voted in it made things weird cause most would of figured Rey being voted in and John and Rey being attacked but since it was CM Punk they had to go ahead with the plans anyways and how CM Punk came back into the ring trying to fight them off made him look like a face. (I miss the old CM Punk that was a loner and a face)

O/U on John Cena vs. (any wrestler) championship matches for the rest of the year? Yawn

[steve784]

This kind of makes NXT season 2 weird doesn't it?

[Old Time Hockey]

Awesome ending to the show last night. Did not expect it at all. The rest of the show was a joke though. Why did nobody help Cena out? Couldn't have Rey or Evan Bourne came down and tried to help and take a beating as well? Worst acting job on that last segment goes to Matt Striker who is just laying there holding his stomach for a good 10 minutes while everyone else is laid out.

[steve784]

I LOL'd whenever after like 20 minutes they moved the destroyed announce table and Lawler was under there the whole time.

Did Cole get beat up? or run off?

[Old Time Hockey]

I think he ran because I did not see anyone beating Cole up.

How about Justin Roberts getting choked with is tie?

That makes me wonder if somehow Cole is a part of this.

[Old Time Hockey]

Justin Roberts sold getting choked by his tie very well. He really looked like he was struggling to breathe. If Cole is part of this, that would be awesome. I have a feeling something big is brewing and last night was the beginning of things to come.

That ending was awesome! I've never seen so much destruction in and out of the ring before.

It's moments like these where the no blood policy sucks.

Agreed. Cena bleeding and being taken out on a stretcher would've had much more of an impact. But I'm still glad WWE isn't like TNA in that Cena doesn't wears the crimson mask every week like Flair does. Two instances of blood a year would be fine for WWE.

I just want to re-iterate how awesome Wade Barrett is. His mannerism's, the way he talks... he just is a beast. If he gets pushed right, he has a chance to be a star, IMO.

I watched the beatdown again, and it was just as awesome as the first time. Cena took a pretty good beating. Danielson getting to kick him, scream in his face, and then spit in it.. was all sorts of awesome.

Couldn't agree more. He could easily be a main event talent soon.

The Miz is still my fav heel in all of wrestling

He's come a long way from being a waste of space thats for sure. One of the most improved guys in the company over the past few years.

He's probably still my favorite heel, but to me him at his best was whenever he was 'feuding' with Cena when he first came to Raw. Those promos were incredible.

My fav promo was when he was still US champ and raw was in Cleveland and usually hometown guys faces or heels get cheered 99% of the time but the Miz was booed and he was like "I'm the only champion to ever come out of Cleveland"

I just watched the replay for the first time after seeing it Monday. The silence (no announcers) is what makes that whole thing. And I loved the 'stunned" shots of a few people in the crowd. It was esp great since these shmucks seemed genuinely concerned, while the friends I was with were laughing like crazy. It was also nice to see Cena get slapped around by a bunch of no names.

I remember watching a PPV, too lazy to look up which one, about 3 years ago where they had HHH tap out to Cena in the main event. HHH was supposed to be the heel but since most people hated Cena's stupid gimmick the crowd was pretty pro-HHH. I remember Jim Ross having to cover up by saying things like "We have a split crowd here, old school and new school" My point is, am I wrong in saying the only people who like Cena are women and kids under 15?

NXT was pretty dull. It seems like they're setting up Cole as the ring leader behind the attack on Monday. That is extremely stupid. Hopefully, it's just a swerve. Did they really need to show a replay of the ENTIRE attack?

John Morrison's promo after the first match was hilarious. After asking the crowd what they thought of Eli Cottonwood: "Some people are happy with him, some people are not. Everybody has an opinion on him and that's what matters." WHAAAA?

Random thoughts: Hopefully Michael McGullicuty can overcome that horrible name. Sucks Kaval had nothing to do but at least having LayCool as his pros will make him stick out from the bunch. His time of the mic was equally as funny as Morrison's which was equally as funny as Titus O'Neil's. "If you want a fight, make it a fight. If you want a win, make it a win."

Yeah NXT was pretty meh. From what I read of SmackDown, it's even more meh. Looks like they're either dropping the ball completely on this NXT invasion or keeping it mostly to Raw.

Surprisingly the only NXT rookie that I was somewhat impressed with last night was Husky Harris....he moves around pretty good for a big guy.

[Kicksave]

Husky Harris is my new favorite.
