As much as I liked the ending of RAW with the NXT rookies literally destroying everybody in the way, and whatnot. There's a minor mistake, why in wrestling gear? Why not the classic shirt/jeans combo? That would made it more..."realistic" so to say.

Oh, ok. You said "CM Punk's angle, as well as Jericho's."... which threw me off.
See, a lot of people are claiming they'd rather have seen Danielson continue his work with The Miz. Who's to say that that doesn't continue. This clearly looks like NXT is aiming to take over the WWE, at any cost. Could easily lead to The Miz on Team WWE vs. Daniel Bryan on Team NXT, at the Survivor Series.
Also, the likes of Sheffield, Young, Slater and Tarver aren't over enough on their own. This gets them some of the spotlight. Continuing this beatdown of the WWE Superstars will get them even more exposure. Once this is done, all eight of these guys might be able to get over by themselves.
It's really all a matter of giving this time. It's too early, for it to be fully judge. From what we've seen so far, I feel this is one of the better things to come from WWE Creative in the past 10 years, easily. However, it could either stay where it's at, get even better, or just fall flat on it's face. It's all up to how Creative book it.

Even when they didn't wrestle a certain week, they'd be shown in wrestling gear ( unless they were already eliminated ). I think there may have been a couple times where Barrett and Otunga were shown in street clothes, however. - Triple S

Yeah sorry Triple, my bad wording there.
Like I've said in the other thread, I'll give it time. Im first impressions were contrasting to the rest of WF in that I wasn't overly impressed. I'll follow it though.

Anyone else notice that earlier in the show, Barret said be prepared for something that has never happened in WWE. <_<
and also, it would of made them get more heat if Mysterio would have won the vote.

There's a lot of things, that have hinted at this. It's just none of them were taken to THIS extent. Some I can remember off the top of my head:
1. Wade Barrett claiming "The Winds of Change" were blowing through the WWE. 2. Barrett's promo on RAW last night: "Maybe you should be asking me this question in one week's time. When something will be accomplished, that's never accomplished before in the entire history of the WWE." 3. Every NXT Rookie claiming "You haven't seen the last of ______." 4. Michael Tarver's "nWo"-equse t-shirt, that he worse numerous weeks.
Granted numbers 3 and 4 were small things. Anyone remember any others?

All joking aside, Cena sold like a champ last night. Which was great to see.
However, Roberts wasn't selling a damn thing. You could tell he was trying to get his fingers underneath his tie, but was too tight. Also, once the camera cut away, Danielson let go.

Really? Didn't notice that, at all. Anyone have any pictures/video? Makes me wonder if they were selling them at the merch stands. If so, that's odd.

I really hope Cole isn't the leader. Sure, it would be shocking, but why? Why can't Barrett just be the leader? I mean, if Cole joins them, then the awesome AmDrag/Cole feud would have meant nothing. Unless they say it was all acting, which would be stupid, because of the INTENSITY of the feud. Especially now that Bryan's heel, (which is stupid enough),..I don't want to see him side w/ cole for the fact that he was TOTALLY being established as this awesome face, now he turns heel, it's a step back, but siding with cole, would be a complete 180.
I have a feeling that cole simply ditched the scene out of realization that the Next World Order were destroying EVERYBODY, and not only would he have to watch out for Bryan, but all 8 of them.

If so, that's odd. - Triple S There was a couple above the Turnbuckle(From a Television perspective, equal hight with someone on the top rope) where Gabriel hit the 450. Probably just a couple that made them, because even they were dumbfounded as Gabriel ascended to the top rope. As to Focalin, I figure Cole could say he watched NXT Season 1 from Ringside and saw the kind of crap they had to do up-close-and-personal. Say after last week he convinced Wade Barrett and Daniel Bryan, who came to terms with one another about their feud backstage, then they called up the rest of the disgruntled, former NXT Rookies to join the group, and it was an easy decision. Then Barrett and explain their actions. The bad part would be Cole would likely stay at the RAW Announce Table as the "Pro-NXT Announcer", but at least it would provide us with the Heel-Face dynamic on RAW again, and King is good at making fun and berading Cole.

Or, Cole could be accused of betraying RAW by leaving the scene so quickly while everyone else got their butts kicked, so even though in actuality he had nothing to do with it, the suspicion/paranoia of the rest of the RAW crew makes him snap and go heel anyways, kind of like Sting's "Crow" transformation/initial ambivalence towards WCW but nowhere close from a cool-ness perspective...

I attended the show last night - the crowd was in shock at the ending. Even "Tie Dye Guy," for those who know him was in awe.
Anyways, as far as I saw from the merch. stands, they were not selling any RUN NXT shirts.... I sat close by to the people wearing those shirts(in the picture) it seems as if they were the only few in the arena with such shirts. WHo knows where they got them. Maybe I jut missed them, but I didn't see those shirts.
fun show to be at - I agree that Rey/Cena would've been a better match to have the 'takeover' take place... however, it was still pretty awesome and had a 'shock-value' that the WWE hasn't HAD in years.

Thought of another small hint...
6. Bret Hart saying that "Next week's ( last night ) Monday Night RAW, would be one you wouldn't want to miss."
