Nexus - Where are they now?

[Big Red Jericho Punk]

The fact that they cancelled MITB at Mania because of Barrett's injury tells you how much they are behind Barrett. They also are considering a feud with Punk and Barrett which would be huge. Barrett is really high with the office and he deserves it. I wasn't too crazy about him when he first started out but then again the Nexus angle was booked horribly so that's why I lost interest. He always had great mic work but he was still a bit green. He has really developed now and can really get some heat from the minute he talks. He's arrogant, thinks he's better than everyone, plus he's from the evil UK (sarcasm but the kiddies don't like England). The fact is that Barrett is not irrelevant what so ever and you have to be a moron to think that. When he comes back, he may not get super heat at first but give him one promo and he'll get his heat back. Barrett's the real deal and if you can't see that, then I'm not sure what to tell you. The guy has feuded with mostly the best the WWE has had to offer in his career. I'd love to see a Jericho Barrett feud someday (random thought).

Otunga on the other hand is a good lackey and can play his character well. That being said, the guy is below average in the ring and will never get pushed to a high level because he simply can't work. I love how people love him so much yet I bet they can't name one memorable match he had. The guy has been with the company for 4 to 5 years now and is still garbage. Give me a break about Otunga. I hope Gabriel gets used more but he's pretty brutal on the mic.

Being over with the WWE audience doesn't really matter.

Then how the fuck is Cena where he's at?! Santino wouldn't even be with WWE if it wasn't for the crowd loving him, same goes for Ryder. Being over with the crowd is the main reason guys get WWE title shots. If Bryan wasn't so over right now, he wouldn't be where he's at now. So keep that in mind.

I wish Nexus would have lasted longer than they did in all honesty. I loved the faction. I love big factions to begin with, and they all brought something to the faction in some sort of way. Each guy in Nexus complimented each other in certain ways.

For me, Barrett is kind of a tricky one. To steal from Booker, I'm still waiting for him to make a play on SmackDown and actually become a top tier talent. The Corre had potential but ended up sucking hard, so was his feud with Ezekiel for the IC title. I honestly don't remember anything memorable from then on until his feud with Orton which could have been his big break but because of injuries to both guys, the feud was obviously stop and start and never reached it's potential. As far as relevancy goes, i'd best describe him as just being '"there." He's not irrelevant to the point that nobody has a clue who he is, but he's also not relevant enough that his injury and time off of TV has made him a miss. I don't mind the guy, but I do think he's massively overhyped in the IWC. He's a big guy but doesn't have the intimidation factor that most other guys on the roster do, he's average at best in the ring and even though he's a decent mic worker, I honestly think his English accent makes him sound alot better than he actually is and wouldn't have as much support if he was American because he wouldn't stand out as much.

Otunga has definitley found his calling with his current gimmick but should be nowhere near a ring in terms of wrestling as proven this week on RAW. He should just be the lackey to Johnny who does his dirty work, but very rarely wrestles because of his deficencies in that area. He should just be used like Patterson and Briscoe was to Vince, initiate the run ins and beatdowns and be the fodder.

Topic is Blue anyways, who the hell can predict the future.

Also, topic is being seriously derailed by people who take a shortbus to their local library.
