Stu Bennett (Wade Barrett) Turned Down a WWE Offer for a Nexus Reunion

[Hoss]

I prefer to remember him as the guy that broke Punk's spirit.

 

[Dale]

I remember him as the dude who shoulda been world champion when he was feuding with Punk but got screwed out of it because of the long term plan being Punk/Rock.

 

[Chris]

RybAxel should have at least been tag champs even if they had a shitty team name

 

[TeaDrinkingLimey]

Shame Barrett never reached the heights he was meant to. I loved the 'Bad News' gimmick

 

[Jimmy King]

For real though, I liked Ryback as “Da Big Guy” Bully Ryback and I’ll remember him for that. I just think that story from Punk is kind of funny.

I loved the Bad News Barrett gimmick too, that was a lot of fun imo.

 

[Cwalker]

Ryback will always be remembered for Punk making him say that he’s “dumb as fuck”.

I always thought Punk was kinda full of shit on that story.

Either way, Ryback should’ve had a run with the World Championship at some point. He was that over. But shit all started to go downhill when Cena got hurt and Ryback got put in the HITC

 

[Deezy]

Selfish fuck.....he could've got Heath Slater his.job back so he can feed his kids.

Rhyno ate all his crackers and cheese

Considering they wanted this reunion to happen over WrestleMania weekend, my guess is it would have been a cameo spot in the Firefly Fun House match between Wyatt and Cena.

 

[Smart Marx]

I'd have popped hard for a Nexus spot during that. Not that I didn't already pop for that segment.

Maybe that's what the nWo segment was supposed to be.

 

[Hoss]

Maybe that's what the nWo segment was supposed to be.

Yeah I feel that. I think during the Nexus storyline was one of the most intense periods of fans hoping Cena would turn heel, from what I saw, so that would have made sense to have those things coincide.

 

[Smart Marx]

If it would have replaced the nWo stuff then no dice.

 

[Smart Marx]

 

[Hoss]

I would imagine it would have just come before the nWo stuff but it might have completely replaced it too. No telling really.

 

[Smart Marx]

I'd pop for it if it included both, but if I had a choice I'd take the nWo stuff since I'd already seen Cena in a Nexus shirt.
