With the big debut of WWE NXT last night came reactions as well. Here's a sampling:
Rich Twilling
Good match and good showing for Daniel Bryan. I actually believed Jericho might have tapped out. So far, I like the show. It feels like a reality show and the idea is to really feel for the rookies being in the position they are in, and they succeeded with this viewer. I'm curious to see how long this format will remain interesting. I thought they did wonders with Miz and Bryan tonight.Totally disagree with the "reality show" feel comment. It felt like a regular WWE show with some different stuff sprinkled in. It didn't feel like I was watching Jersey Shore or Next Food Network Star, but in a way, that's a good thing.
Chris Jericho
NXT was pretty cool. Daniel Bryan and Wade Barrett will be stars. However, Punks guy has the worst hair I've ever seen....Jericho also retorted mockingly to someone who whined about him being too stiff with Danielson last night. The whiner deserved it. I mean, people don't realize that Danielson has been in matches that would make the one last night look like gay porn.

Overall, it was a decent hour of wrestling. It seemed like there might have been timing issues, as there were a TNA-esque amount of commercial breaks in the last half hour, which hurt the flow of the show, but there was enough different between the sit-down interviews, the crane camera, and the hyped "pros vs. rookies" conflict to where it felt like it wasn't standard WWE fare. We'll see how long they are able to keep that feeling, but for now, the show feels fresh.Yeah, the RAW Rebound and the commercials really hurt the end of the show from a timing standpoint. I think if they had combined the two shorter commercial breaks into a slightly longer one, it might have helped things leading into the match.

Enjoyed NXT..thought the announcing had an interesting edge. Adding some sizzle & attitude to commentary nice, new element.The announcing was probably the freshest thing on the show.
In another intriguing note, Michael Cole has removed his profile from the WWE Universe page because he doesn't want to associate with us Internet fans. God bless them for really going all out with this angle.
