Reviews/Thoughts:

Looks like we got a triple threat match to start things off (I'm not counting the average, short promos from the three NXT rookies). I laughed when the crowd was chanting for Daniel Bryan during the match when the rookies were competing. Very good match here, hard-hitting contest with a bunch of big moves.

Yoshi speaks decent English. Why can't Khali learn the language as well?

Hornswoggle/Titus segment was amusing. Green skittles, eh? And I have to admit, Kozlov was entertaining in his skit with JTG.

Another great match between Yoshi and Tyson. Keep these two feuding, that's all I'll say.
