I know this was the first one, so there is no need to get too happy. Now to see if they can continue to pull these numbers. I personally loved the show, so I am going to keep watching for now.

I won't. Mainly because I usually don't end up watching any WWE program on a week-to-week basis but I'm definitely going to tune in when I can. I hope that next week is better, only the main event was really a good match. The others, at least based off the rookies, wasn't so great.

I had no problems with NXT, I just won't watch it on a weekly basis because I have better things to do n Tuesday nights.

Well I have DVR so i always record RAW ECW/NXT TNA and SD just in case i miss them then i delete them when i'm finish watching so i wont miss them. I'll watch NXT i like it didn't really know what to expect at first but I like it so i'll keep watching.
