Shallow:
That Raw ending was really well done and makes me want to check out next week.
Larrabee:
I have mixed feelings regarding the new NXT takeover angle. Like Shallow said, the ending was very well done. Perhaps one of the best endings to a Raw in a while, they went all out with how the attack was laid out and everything. Though part of me feels like it's been done before over and over again. The WCW invasion angle in 2001, along with the three or four ECW invasion angles. This new NXT one actually reminds me a bit of the Millionaires Club-New Breed angle in WCW back in 2000. If done properly, I think the storyline will work. The only major disappointment here is that there's not much of a chance for any of the 8 rookies to get over on their own, as now they'll be locked into a group so it's going to be more of a challenge to make an impact on an individual level. They had a great thing going with Daniel Bryan getting at The Miz and Michael Cole, and then next week, boom...switch gears. I will say though, now I'm curious to see where this all leads.

If all we get from this is Bryan and Punk in the ring at a PPV with more than 20 minutes to work a match then it'll all be worth it for me. I have at least 1 match from the ROH days and it was solid.
Mo Z. Dizzle:
What I'm thinking (any probably others thought of) is that they'll reveal the NXT rookies to be Undertaker's 'attackers'.
On another note, I was lmao at the ending of the Santino-Kozlov segment.

I'll only like that idea if it leads to Taker's streak being ended.
If they want Taker to keep his streak going then I have an idea after seeing tonight. Cena and co. get a group together to get the NXTers back for what they did and teach them a lesson of trying to get too much too fast, with out paying their dues first. Naturally with this Angle Bryan will be the one to turn face first since he's pad more dues than Cena ever could. But anyway among the vet posse is Goldberg, who is supposed to come back anyway. He helps take out the NXTers over the next few months. By the end of the fued after he takes out his man at Summer Slam or Survivor Series, Taker returns and jumps Goldberg. It is revealed that Goldberg took out Taker, because he's sick of his hokey streak. 18-0, big deal he says. He started out 100-0 and with footage the WWE can show a clip from each of his first 100 wins. He even beats Taker at the Rumble. Then at Mania in Atlanta; home of Goldberg and WCW history they have the rematch and Taker wins and keeps the streak going.
Then next year he loses to Barret or Bryan. 19-0 is enough.
