I love how you mention Regal like he's not a jobber.
Let's see...who was first to hit the ring? A 60 year old man, who promptly beat the shit out of a few guys about 40 years younger than him before having the likes of Mark Henry and Santino show up to help clean the ring. THEN Edge and Sheamus and Orton came out.
That's not the point though. It's not who was beating them up, it was the fact that they were completely dominated by the WWE guys and sent running with their tails between their legs. After them being fired tonight as well, seriously, explain to me how any fan out there would consider the NXT guys a threat, at all? I'm not asking for much here, just your basic booking 101 that's been used for the last 30 years. The heels have to do something for us to take them seriously as a threat, otherwise, why should we care as a fan? I know KB's got my back on this one.
