*MERGED* [OFFICIAL] The Nexus General Discussion thread

[brainsuks1234]

I think having Sheamus as the Nexus leader would be a great idea. Sheamus came out pretty much the same way they did. He debuted in wwe by making an impact. He destroyed everyone in his way. He retired Jamie Noble. And the big part he has screwed john Cena (TLC wwe title match). Nexus made thier debut(NOT COUNTING NXT) on raw attacking john cena, cm punk and everyone else around the arena which ended up getting daniel bryan fired for being an idiot out thier. Nexus made a huge impact stating they wont stop till they got thier contracts they got thier contracts and still kept attacking even going too mr.mcmahon. And the same thing with Sheamus they have SCREWED John Cena.
So you can see Sheamus as a leader for NEXUS would be a good idea and I dont think wwe should put Triple H and John Cena as the leaders. If they want Cena a heel send him too TNA. Triple h as a heel is just turn off you're tv and sleep. Sheamus as leader makes perfect sense and would be intresting too watch.

 

[Sean Valjean]

No, this wouldn't make "perfect sense" because the Nexus has gone after Sheamus before. They haven't actually gotten to him, but they have tried. Sheamus' debut was nothing like theirs. He destroyed face jobbers and got a world title. He didn't destroy everyone and everything like Nexus is.

The Nexus has a leader. His name is Wade Barrett. They don't need another leader, or a mastermind, especially if it's someone already on the roster. That would completely go against the idea of the Nexus: young no-names rebelling against the establishment and trying to make a name for themselves. Not to mention that if Sheamus, HHH, or any other main eventer is made the leader, the focus would likely be on that person instead on the ones that need it: The Nexus.

Sorry, but this is a terrible idea.

 

[KnowYoRole]

How about Wade Barrett as the Nexus leader? seriously people. why must there be a leader other than barrett? he's doing just fine by himself. the nexus is a group of superstars separate from the rest of the WWE. they do not have anything to do with any superstar.

 

[dvayne]

I think he could make a good ally with Nexus but it would be very anti-climatic for him to be the leader when Barrett has better mic skills.

I hate that they'll probably give Nexus an established leader (Cena or HHH) being thrown around right now.

I think they should keep them as a renegade group taking out all of the established stars. I would love for Jericho to tease being the leader or mentor of them forming an alliance only for once they're all in the ring together to form a circle around him and destroy him next giving Jericho a face turn I'll get more into that in a new thread though

 

[CyDeez]

No, this wouldn't make "perfect sense" because the Nexus has gone after Sheamus before. They haven't actually gotten to him, but they have tried.

Sorry, but this is a terrible idea.

Actually if you think about it, it does make sense though... Everyone they have gone after they have been able to get to, and/or destroy! But for some reason Sheamus was able to get away everytime, as they kicked Cena's ass and basically put or kept the title on Sheamus, each time... Convenient!!!

Just a thought, but if you really think about it, the potential for the story line is there and DOES make sense!!!

 

[dannynandez]

I dont think having Sheamus as the leader is a great idea...Cena as the leader would be interesting, he could use the angle like he is tired of being the face of the company and feeling over-worked or somthing like that, but that would go againt everything Cena currently stands for (which would be refreshing!!)...but im gonna have to agree with the idea that Nexus doesnt have a leader...cus honestly this whole Nexus angle has gotten me actually interested in Raw lately, and having a established superstar come out being the leader would mos def make the angle stale and go against what they stand for....so no i dont feel sheamus would be the best choice considering he isnt even that established himself to take over Nexus.

 

[Morpheus101]

Why does Sheamus need to be the leader of Nexus? Why does it even have to be HHH or Cena? Barrett alone is a GREAT leader. He has awesome mic skills and is an up and coming megastar and soon-to-be WWE Champion. Having Cena, HHH or Sheamus as leader of Nexus would steal the thunder that Barrett has worked so hard to build for himself.

With that being said, I am in favor of having HHH behind Nexus in some way, shape or form, but not to become their leader. HHH could have a heel turn, but remain outside the Nexus group, perhaps engaging himself in singles feuds. As much as I want to see a heel Cena, I do not want it to happen this way...sorry.

They don't need Shame-us. They are over on their own, No need for any "leadeR"

But I could totally see HHH trying to benefit from their momentum

 

[Uncle Sam]

I'm getting tired of this bizarre cycle of neutering and empowering the Nexus. One second, they're going to destroy wrestling as we know it and nobody can stop them. The next, oh wait, all you have to do is get a bunch of randomers to run down to the ring. The next, they're destroying everything in their path and are invincible. The next, Cena has a chair. A chair. Those things hurt. Ain't going near that. And so on and so forth.

The 'Super Friends' angle is just the latest way to neuter them before, potentially, building them back up again. I'm not sure what they're building up to but I hope it's something good, at least to compensate for this moment I had while watching RAW:

"One more? Oh man, I bet it's Daniel Bryan. This is gonna be absolu-- Oh. It's Bret Hart. Must that cunt ruin everything?"

 

[Барбоса]

The 'Super Friends' angle is just the latest way to neuter them before, potentially, building them back up again.

Personally, I think that the relatively weak line up of the 'Super Friends' makes it entirely possible that Nexus will pull out the victory at Summerslam. Jericho and Edge are at each others throat while both hating Cena; R-Truth is hurt and seemingly feuding with Miz; Morrison looks like entering a feud with DiBiase while Khali is as much of an in-ring invalid as Hart. The internecine and outside struggles of the 'Super Friends' could easily see Cena abandoned at Summerslam and fall prey to Barrett and co., needing a saviour (or executioner) with a sledgehammer perhaps...

I too had this brief moment of potential euphoria only to have it crushed. If there ever was a perfect time to inject DBD back into WWE and this feud, being Cena's 7th man was it.

I think that the make-up of the 'Super Friends' should be slightly. Those attacked by Nexus the previous week should all have been involved. Evan Bourne has already been shown to be a Cena ally and a Nexus target while this was a good opportunity to give Yoshi Tatsu some exposure that isn't as some anthropomorphised anime character. Bourne and Tatsu should be there instead of R-Truth and Khali, while DBD should be in the team with Bret in a managing capacity. (With Bret included perhaps we could see Nexus enter the Unified Tag Title picture as well)

However, no matter what the line-up, Nexus should win as Summerslam

 

[R.K.Orton]

I have read through parts of this thread and never spotted a post like this but sorry if it has been done.

WHY OH WHY MUST THERE BE A SECRET LEADER WHO IS A WWE WRESTLER !!!!!

Sorry for the capitals but theres so many things thats pissing me off with this.



1. If the Nexus are working under a superstar like Cena, Sheamus, HHH whoever it takes away credibility of the nexus. It's like saying the nexus are not clever enough to carry out attacks and gang up on wwe superstars on thier own. What the nexus have been doing is hardly rocket science.

2. The nexus are a young up and coming faction who talk about changing wwe and writing a new chapter for the future. So why would they accept an older wrestler who has been around for a while.

3. There is no way you could draft in a believeable storyline putting a wwe superstar in charge of the nexus after the nexus took out the chairman and put wwe in trouble havng people running scared. Cena and HHH are the names ive seen brnded about most. Even if either turn Heel why would HHH take out his father in law thats just not going to happen and Cena has been beat down and lost title oppertunities due to the nexus. How could he then be explained as the leader.

I think it would be perfect to have the nexus being run by themselves and not lackies of a wwe star with some sort of grudge.[

 

[Барбоса]

I cannot help but feel that Nexus need a more focussed goal. Barrett telling us that they serve a much higher purpose is only going to fly for so long.

Something needs to be explained sooner rather than later. Even if it is simply that they are targeting Cena as the biggest star on RAW so that everyone else might fall into line or be easier to take apart once the figurehead superhero is dispatched.

As I mentioned above, Hart's inclusion gives Nexus an avenue to take the Unified Tag Titles while the truce with Sheamus should be played more as a short term thing rather than long term, planting the suggestion that Nexus want the WWE title rather than attacking the champion. In the run up to SS, Nexus should also be exploiting the divisions in the RAW/Cena camp. Remind Edge and Jericho about how much they hate each other and Cena and Khali of his defeat to Cena. Encourage Miz and DiBiase to take revenge on R-Truth and Morrison respectively. Taunt Mark Henry, Evan Bourne and Yoshi Tatsu about not being good enough to join Team Cena.

Divide and Conquer

 

[TheRockSays:]

Listen Up, Wade Barrett is/and will continue to be the leader...It is too obvious to the WWE that anything but, would completely destroy the appeal the nexus has...Cena? Really? HOw could you even go about creating a storyline that fits....Even if you turned CEna heel, with everything that he stands for, it would be literally impossible to turn him back, not to mention that, i hate to say it, but the WWE isn't primarily interested in satisfying the wants of the older WWE fans.....They know we will watch either way, but if they take their most valuable wrestler and turn him, they may lose the interest of the young kids....you ever think of that?

 

[TJWWE]

I just can't take any of them seriously. They are surpose to be a threat to the RAW superstars. The only one that should be their is Barret as he won NXTS1.

 

[Morpheus101]

As much as I'd love to see it, I don't see a Cena heel turn coming out of any of this. Think about it logically, what would Cena himself have to gain from aligning himself with the Nexus? It wouldn't be the WWE Championship, because Barrett himself will be gunning for that in the very near future. The idea of Cena leading Nexus also seems weird, to say the least. It would be a very bad fit.

It is far more likely to be Triple H. Triple H could come back and align himself with Nexus, without actually leading them. Triple H is far more of a "mastermind" type character, hence the fact that he is often nicknamed the cerebral assassin. He has been involved in just about every successful stable in WWE/WWF history over the past 2 decades. His presence would add to the group, whereas Cena just wouldn't be a good fit. What does Triple H have to gain? Answer: power and dominance...something his character has always craved. Cena has always been about hustle, loyalty and respect (and all that jazz). Cena's character would not fit in to a stable.

It's not going to happen at Summerslam - Nexus should win this one and Triple H isn't ready to come back yet. I see an angle where Cena is taken out and sidelined for a few weeks. Triple H will probably come back as a face initially, leading up to a similar, but much more hyped confrontation at Survivor Series. Ultimately, Triple H will be the one to screw over his team for the "greater good".

 

[Christian42]

Right now the top heels on Raw are The Nexus, Sheamus, The Miz, Edge, Jericho and Ted Dibiase. So who do think the most hated heel is. I would have to say the Nexus because two of the top heels Edge and Jericho were pitted against them in there match at Summerslam and since they are on Team Cena they will be more over as faces. So the only person left to rival him as top face on Raw is Sheamus... and this one could go to either one... and my vote goes to The Nexus. What about you guys?

Well, the Nexus have pretty much thrown the whole heel/face thing out of the proverbial window, as far as other WWE superstars are concerned. At this point, only Miz and Sheamus are top heels (Dibiase is just a midcarder, IMO). For now, Edge and Jericho are faces. So aside from Nexus, it's a tossup between Miz and Sheamus as to who can get the most heat.

 

[RiVaLGaMeR]

If your saying they are then i agree. No ones really doing anything bad on RAW except Nexus. Putting them against Cena would drop their pop. Fans cheered for Nexus but when you mess with the golden child Cena thats when you get boo'd. They are the best heels right now if their actions can gather heels and faces together then they have to be. Its the enemy of my enemy thing. Both sides who dont like eachother protecting their existence. The leader of Nexus is going to get a instant boo no matter who they are. Could be HHH he would get instantly boo'd since he would be enemies to the Cena faction. Think of all the wrestlers that came out to save Cena that one day even Sheamus was cheered for.

 

[mayankeagle]

With Jericho and Edge becoming more like tweeners since they are joining Cena's forces to face the Nexus, it leaves Sheamus and the Miz as the top heels. However, the Miz garners more heat than Sheamus. But you'd have to go with the Nexus as top heels at the moment since they have dominated the entire situation.

 

[ThePh3nomonal1]

Absolutely, there is no doubt that Nexus are the strongest heels in the WWE, they are just so hated right now and with Edge, Jericho and even Sheamus teaming with CEna that pretty much leaves The Miz and Ted DiBiase. But no offence to either of them but they are not currently in the same league as The Nexus, though The Miz isnt far off.

So yes, The Nexus are currently the strongest and most hated heels on Raw and the WWE. Nice thread by the way.

 

[1_2_3 Kid]

Gotta agree...

It seems like every "heel" is wanting to put an end to the Nexus. And I personally am loving it.

The gang warfare thing is pretty high on my list of fav shit to see play out. This angle is pure gold, I just hope to god they don't fuck it up by revealing a stupid ass leader of the group. I've been leaning more towards VKM now but idk, it was just a random thought.

Edge, Jericho as we now see are team Cena .. really? Team Cena? That's how you know these guys are bad ass.

Who would have honestly thought from watching the debut NXT show, that these 7 guys would be the hottest thing smoking right now? I damn sure didn't, that's for sure.

But WWE keeps continuing to surprise me, and I'm am loving it. Way to get the bad guys back on top and throw a curve ball to everyone saying that the product was "stale".

Who's laughing now bitches!!

 

[deforty]

Bear with me on this first thread here. I was reading all the posts on the HHH and Cena being the ones behind the Nexus, but what if it was say Kane or Teddy Long that was really behind their attacks not HHH or Cena?

This would allow Teddy Long to get even with Vince for all the crap he has done to him with Drew and could start a new Brand War or Kane just becoming Jealous of not getting all the attention his brother gets and starting his own Ministry stable with a group of hungy young guys that just want to take over and be noticed.

So what does everyone think?

 

[Money Inc.]

I don't see the WWE promoting Raw talent in a major SD! storyline.

The WWE is currently moving SD! to ScyFy from Mynetwork and supposedly are about to beef up the story lines on SD! (I personally feel the story lines are always better than Raw anyway, but if they are going to put even more effort into them, I'm not going to complain)

It's defiantly a possibility of course, but I see them going with Kane alone. The Nexus don't need to be the attackers to get more over, they just need to be made like they belong in the ring with the likes of John Cena/Edge/Jericho/etc.

They cannot have them job in their fist official match as a group, you need to give the heel stable the legs to run and having them go over Cena this month will give them a good starting jog.

 

[deforty]

I personally would like to see Kane as the mastermind behind them. This would keep the the Nexus angle going alot longer and possibly up to WM with Wade Barrett getting the match against Taker at WM. We could also have to Rumbles in one night the original getting a Title shot at WM and the Other could be the Nexus vs WWE, winner getting a shot at Takers streak.

 

[secret titan]

I think there is more possibility of a masked Kane being behind the attack than Nexus. At least that's what I want to think. Nexus is and has so far stayed on Raw, except for the one return to NXT. I think the only reason the Nexus storyline is working so well is due to them staying on one brand.
