I, for one was ecstatic to see that it was Bret Hart as the 7th man and not Triple H.
Right before Bret came out, I was saying to myself that it either had to be Triple H or Bryan Danielson. I was really hoping that it was going to be Danielson, and I was frankly going to be mad if it had been Triple H. If it was Triple H, it would've been so predictible and would've really been boring. I was hoping for a surprise and got one. When Bret's music hit, I literally marked out. For some reason, I didn't even think of him being the 7th guy. Probably because I assumed that he was still dealing with the insurance issues and wouldn't be back this soon. I knew/figured he would eventually come back, but not this soon. Hopefully he's got that stuff straightened out so he can be back to being a regular part of the show.
I realize Bret can't really go in the ring anymore, and honestly it makes me uneasy watching him in the ring, but he's in there with 6 other guys to help carry the match (with three of the best in the world with Cena, Edge, and Jericho), so I don't think he'll bring the match down at all. He certainly has a reason to be involved as it was Nexus that took him out, so of course he should be out for revenge.
I was disappointed that it wasn't Danielson. And I'm disappointed that they got the Great Khali in the match. I just went "ughhhh" when he came out. I would've much rather it had been Goldust if you wanna use one of your mid card, comedy characters, because Goldust can still go in the ring and put on a helluva match. Jericho especially joining up and teaming with them was pretty surprising for me and creates an interesting dynamic. Although once it was revealed that Bret was on the team, it really made much more sense to have Jericho and Edge on there. You kind of have a mini "Team Canada" in the team.
I was really surprised to not see Evan Bourne as one of the teammates as he's been Cena's biggest ally both onscreen and offscreen. Morrison will be great in the match, but what happened to his feud with Dibiase? I think they have a nice feud going, and am kind of disappointed that it looks like they're not going to focus on it for Summerslam.
The Great Khali? Ughhhh. True they needed a big guy on there to counter the size/height advantage of Wade Barrett, but Mark Henry would do a better job and beings he got beat on Raw, would have more motive to be involved than the Great Khali.
I have no problem with R-Truth on the team. He's a popular babyface who's dealt with Nexus a bit, so he'll do fine in the match as well.
I'm looking forward to it. I'm actually almost thinking about ordering Summerslam for the first time in years. I just kept noticing throughout the night that the best/most interesting parts of the show involved Nexus. This group is really making Raw must see tv.
I do really hope that some kind of twists happens at Summerslam to keep the storyline going. I don't want this storyline to end. Especially if Danielson comes back in the fall like what is being speculated. If he comes back, then things are going to get really interesting. I think it'd be awesome if Cena turned heel at Summerslam, but then again I kind of like him in the role of the defending hero of Raw. So I'm cool either way they do it.
I really hope that Bret Hart doesn't turn on the Raw guys and join Nexus. I don't want to see Bret as a heel (wow my inner mark is coming out lol).
But yeah, I'm just glad it wasn't Triple H. I would've been real disappointed, because him joining up would've been so predictible and boring.
