*MERGED* [OFFICIAL] The Nexus General Discussion thread

[Hazardous]

now im pretty sure there is already a Nexus thread for all things nexus.. so wont be surprised to see this one deleted..

Because Nexus is not NWO and WWE is not WCW. I'm kind of into the Nexus thing but I still cant help but just think its a rip-off of NWO. But anyway...

except the NWO was seen as an invasion from another company, with well established stars, thats what made it so shocking. everyone thought the WWF was invading WCW.

i see them sticking around untill the ratings drop. no reason to break them up now, and once everyone, and i mean EVERYONE not just a few people, lose interest and stop asking question after question, then they will probably split, and i think a few will leave right aay, a couple stay, then slowly weed them out till there is one or two left. a while back i compared them to the Spirit Squad. come in, and beat all the top guys up each week, and since they left, there is only one left (Ziggler)

2nd what was the big storyline on raw suppose to be melina getting a title shot? lol. and nexus would be so much better if they dropped david otunga to bring back daniel. and we all probably know its gonna be tripple h as the manager i just wish they would show him . so i dont have to hear that duschbag say .excuse me i have recieved another email and he get on his unnecessary hugh podium to read it. in my opinion he is now tied with vickie guerrurue. sorry for the misspel but soon he is gonna be worse than her . i hope its cena but it wont.

This Nexus team has at least 2 more months in it. They're still apart of the main event picture, and they haven't gotten stale yet. There is no reason to give them so much air time just to break them up after their first couple of payperviews. As a long shot, I could even see Nexus making it to the Royal Rumble. There are so many different storylines you could pull out of the hat for these guys. I even see them moving to Smackdown, and recreating the havoc their. Smackdown needs something to bring attention to it anyways.


Also, I don't believe that Wade Barrett is the only one out of the group that will have a successful carrer. I believe the majority of them will have long carrers in WWE. Shefield has the look of a future World Champion to him, and Tarver, Gabriel, Otunga have a place as well. I can't say much for Slater or Young though.

 

[BigDaddy420]

the second is probably either the dude who usually covers his mouth i dont think he has any orginalty and his moves dont look beliveable.

Obviously you have never seen his promos from FCW. Tarver is intense on the mic. There is a reason he ran the show the week Barrett was across the pond. Its gonna be easily 2-3 years before any of these guys, with the exception of Wade and Bryan, (when they bring him back) become major players on tv week-in and week-out.

 

[disturbedbob]

I think the Nexus will be around till at least Royal Rumble. It maes no sense to split them just as they are gathering pace.

I see all of them staying in some capacity:

1/ Wade Barrett will be champ by the end of WM. Forget Miz, Barrett is a much better wrestler and a much better heel. Everyone will soon be bored of Miz if they are not already.

2/ Skip Sheffield is the dark horse. A legitimate big man with good wrestling skills, power moves and a great look. Could be a main eventer if given the right storyline.

3/ Justin Gabriel has impressed as a heel, as I thought he was an ironed on cert to be face. Finisher is stunning, needs more work on the mic though, but that never stopped Jeff Hardy, right? Def and IC or US title run for him in the pipeline.

4/ Heath Slater has failed to elevate since first good impressions. He seems one of 2 odd ones out in this group. He will one of the first to turn face I feel, maybe bringing Gabriel with him??

5/ David Otunga sucks. I cant stand his promos and he cant wrestle, but Vince is obviously high on him. Needs to improve hugely. Mid carder at best. He's like MVP, but a poor mans imitation....and thats saying something.

6/ Michael Tarver has a good on screen persona and is getting better wrestling needs vast improvement though, but I can see him being a work in progress. Maybe he and Otunga can form a tag team.

7/ Darren Young is the last tool in the box, the one you never use unless you really need to. I think he misses Percy. So I say lets see the South Beach party boys reunite

Truth is all the best up and comers (other than Barrett and Danielson) are in NXT2. The 6 left I feel are better than the Nexus 7. Even Lucky Cannon is on a par with Gabriel or Slater right now.

 

[miky0301]

An Idea: Maybe the Miz is joining Nexus at Summerslam?? They have never had run-ins, and if the 7 on 7 match is before, I could see him subbing in for The Great Khali and screwing over team WWE. In return, I could see the Nexus helping the Miz by attacking Orton after he wins the WWE title, and helping the Miz become WWE Champ by cashing in MITB... From recent events, I could see it, and The Miz has the perfect character to screw over team WWE for himself. I also see Nexus going after Smackdown soon too...

 

[sincero]

^^^^ joined the forum because I had the same idea... Miz would be the perfect leader for Nexus. After taking the WWE title Miz could then hand over the Us title to Barrett. This would easily make Miz the biggest heel in the company and is really the biggest surprise WWE could pull off at this point

 

[Danielr11220]

watching raw on Monday gave me an idea if they are going to have a leader other than Barrett then it should be The Miz

Here is why it makes more sense than any one else on the wwe roster
1.he was a season one pro
2.It could (kayfabe) explain why brain danielson "showed remorse and was thrown out of nexus"
3.the truce with sheamus is just to sucker him in then boom nexus attack miz cashes in MITB (the higher Purpose)
4. miz gives wade barret the us title on ppv thus him getting his tiltle shot

on sunday he agrees to join team wwe just to screw them all "to prove he is raw's top dog and his show"


or do you guys think i am crazy?

 

[the_A-LIST]

Come on guys. Miz is already a heel. This would be a wasted opportunity for a top face superstar to turn heel. Sure Miz could be somewhat a good fit to the Nexus but why waste a heel like that when you can just get a top star who's face to turn there back on the WWE and join Nexus. Also, i've heard rumors there going to be the Nexus Nine. So 2 members could possibly be joining Nexus in the next few days to months.

 

[waylonmercy]

When Nexus made their first attack the forum here was buzzing like crazy. Some had to do with the firing of Bryan Danielson a few days later, some felt the attack was similar to the nWo, and some thought it was the nature of the attack.

In my opinion I believe there was another reason why Nexus created great buzz. What made their first attack so unique had nothing to do with creative plans and all to do with the WWE Universe swaying from the norm.

WWE was having that WWE Universe makes the matches concept that night and were heavily promoting Rey Mysterio in attempts of having Cena and Mysterio get laid up. But what I feel is the difference maker was the fact that CM Punk got voted in and Luke Gallows followed him to the ring.

The idea of Nexus attacking the top face and a top heel along with his protege aided in the attack being so chaotic. They came out of nowhere, they attacked BOTH a heel and face and convincingly did so. CM Punk to his credit helped the situation by jumping back in the ring later on and trying to attack Nexus. I strongly believe had Nexus attacked Mysterio and Cena that the hype behind their debut wouldn't be as great.

 

[Doctor_What]

Not sure if this one been suggested.But what are the odds of Randy Orton being revealed as Nexus leader? I am guessing team wwe v nexus is main event at SS so I see Orton winning wwe title earlier in the night then he shows up in the tag match nails an rko on Cena and we have our new leader of Nexus.. and he just happens to be the wwe champion.

 

[Remix]

watching raw on Monday gave me an idea if they are going to have a leader other than Barrett then it should be The Miz

No. Just no.

Here is why it makes more sense than any one else on the wwe roster

Putting aside that it wouldn't and that Nexus doesn't need a leader who isn't a tall Englishman with so much product in his hair that the Arabs are concidering drilling for oil there.

1.he was a season one pro

So was Jericho, and yet he's most definatelty against Nexus. Also, Nexus outright stated that they disliked the "Overzealous Pros" in week 2 of their campaign to takeover WWE.

2.It could (kayfabe) explain why brain danielson "showed remorse and was thrown out of nexus"

How exactly? If Miz was the leader since day 1, Damielson would have known and been ok with it. DBD feeling remosre is the Kayfabe reason he left the Nexus when in reality he got fired. YOu don't justify kayfabe with kayfabe.

3.the truce with sheamus is just to sucker him in then boom nexus attack miz cashes in MITB (the higher Purpose)

Sheamus is being insular. He stays away from Nexus of they stay away from him. This was what he was doing before MITB, afterwatrds he just made it official.

4. miz gives wade barret the us title on ppv thus him getting his tiltle shot

Barrett can gert any title he wants, and has stated he plans to go after one of the top titles (more $$$ for him winning). Why go after the lesser title when he could get more money going after one of the bigger ones?

on sunday he agrees to join team wwe just to screw them all "to prove he is raw's top dog and his show"

He wants to catch Sheamus/Randy when they're at their weakest and he's at his strongest. Why tire himself out unneccesarraly by competing against Nexus when he wants to be fresh to cash in his case? Miz was just playing with Cena and Bret, and they'll find another person or 2 to fil l in the empty spot(s).

or do you guys think i am crazy?

No, just wrong.

 

[TheInfamousOne]

Seeing as how i really want them to add some guys from season 2 of NXT...i really hope the leader(if it is not in fact Wade Barrett) is someone big enough to float from Monday to Friday seamlessly. Therefore its going to have to be a big enough name AND hard enough worker to be on Raw consistently and show up on Smackdown from time to time. So i truly hope that is Triple h if it has to be anyone at all...Still holding out hope for a Nexus Raw and Nexus Smackdown!

 

[Morpheus101]

I don't think it's going to be Miz that turns to the Nexus. I mean, why? WWE are pushing Miz as an individual and that's how his character is developing. Putting him in with a large stable would make no sense at all. I think that for now, it's best to keep Miz out of the whole Nexus issue and continue to develop his character as a standalone.

If anyone turns, it's more than likely to be Bret Hart and/or John Cena. I'd say HHH, but HHH isn't due to be back for a while.

 

[miky0301]

Here is how I think that the Miz could join the Nexus...

First the Miz helps screw team Raw over, and the announcers play it off like the Miz is just scared and out for himself.

The Sheamus/Orton match runs like normal, then Orton wins with an RKO followed by a punt to the skull taking Sheamus out of the equation. Orton celebrates with the title for about 15-30 seconds, and then the Nexus music hits and they surround Orton around the ring and close around him, he tries to fight back but the 7 on 1 assault goes on.

Meanwhile the announcers are hyping it up talking about how the Nexus won't stop attacking people, and why do they have to do this after the main event. Then they look down the entrance ramp and The Miz's Awesome hits, and he walks down with a referee and cashes in the Briefcase. The Nexus stands guard around the ring and the Miz wins the WWE title, and as hes celebrating the Nexus comes in the ring around him and pretend to surround him, but then Wade Barrett hands the Miz a Nexus armband. Then the Nexus music hits and they all stare down as the announcers play it up to watch RAW Monday to find out what just happened...

 

[miky0301]

If Triple H is the leader of the Nexus... I see Sheamus winning and the Nexus music hitting and surround him. He starts saying "We had a deal, we will stay out of each other's business." And then Triple H's Music will go and Sheamus will try to run away but the Nexus will hold him as HHH comes with a sledgehammer and owns Sheamus... Either way... They can make the Summerslam finish AWESOME

 

[martymcfly]

As soon as someone is revealed as the secret leader of nexus (which I'm afraid will happen eventually but I sure hope it doesn't), at that point the story stops being about nexus and becomes about whoever is named the leader. And whoever that person is, I don't doubt that it is someone that is already in a spotlight and won't need it shined even brighter.

 

[mooseman]

Is it crazy to think Orton is behind Nexus? Here's my reasoning we know the history between Orton and the McMahons that would explain taking out Vince and having a reign of terror on RAW. Trying to take out Hart links back to the "Legend Killer" days. Why Cena? Simple. The battle to end all battles Cena and Orton had means Orton can't wrestle Cena for the title again. He had to find a way to get the title off of Cena. Enter NeXus. They start all this shit with then champion Cena. Meanwhile he still has people coming after the title. He eventually loses the title. His focus shifts to taking out NeXus which allows Orton to walk in to get the title from Sheamus. Why haven't Nexus taken out Sheamus? Orton needed Sheamus to beat Cena and remain healthy enough to make it to SummerSlam to defend against Orton. Maybe i'm crazy but all the pieces fit to the puzzle.

 

[Bobby B]

Here is my theory as to why the Leader of the Nexus MUST be Triple H:

He hasn't been attacked - above all the other previous suggestions, Triple H is one of the few people who the Nexus haven't attacked (true, he hasn't been on the show).

He's always been open to a good stable - DX/Evolution, maybe Nexus is the third coming of Hunter as a stable leader. There are certainly many things that you could attribute to his reason to want to take over.

The Nexus haven't attacked Sheamus - Why? Because Triple H wants to do the job himself. That's why Sheamus has not been attacked.

Just my idea, but he's my new top favourite for being Nexus leader.

 

[Ultra Awesome]

I would rather Triple H be the nexus leader than havinc Cena be the leader. Even tough many think that a Cena heel turn is needed, I don't think it would be in the company's best interest at this point because he is probably the biggest money maker they have to offer especially when it comes to merchandise.

Triple H on the other hand. Has been absent for quite a while. And if I do remember correctly, it had been reported that HHH wanted to go for a heel turn soon but was unable due to injuries. While i'm not sure if the heel turn was for "keeps" but it would only be the most logical decision that he becomes leader of Nexus.

Besides, HHH is a guy that could very well pull it of. Personally, I have always preferred HHH as a heel

 

[vampireblade]

I think if i had to choose anybody as nexus leader it would be the miz it makes sense seeing as hes been a coach on both seasons of nxt and he is virtually the only superstar who has yet to be attacked by nexus which could point to him being nexus leader

 

[dman1373]

this thread is on how you think their going to follow up on tonights raw after losing at ss.
Tonight they are either going to end it or reignite it. IF they end it then they will lose all of their matches and start to fight with each other. IF they dont end then they will need something that will set them appart from when they lost. THEY need a new member, leader, or their motives have to become. because no one will want to watch a losing team do the same thing when they first lost.

 

[MayorMcCheese]

This whole storyline made no sense really.

Nexus is built up as the ultimate team, they are all on the same page.
Team WWE is built as unable to work together, Edge and Jericho quit, show their disdain for Cena, show their disdain for Bret.....and then come crawling back to Cena.

Fast forward to tonight, Cena magically beats the last two guys in about one minute. Cena does not need the rub, he does not need to beat Nexus. but what happens? Nexus gets buried anyway. Everything they did prior to tonight means absolutely nothing because SuperCena always has to come out on top. This was supposed to be exactly what would give Nexus the advantage.....and they lose. They could have stretched this to Survivor Series, now Nexus has nowhere to go.

 

[sepehrsfmech]

i personally think that this is just the beginning for nexus on ppv.

its gonna go until a survivor series match elimination match
maybe at hell in a cell is a hell in a cell tornado tag team 7 on 7 match

 

[ronnieflexx]

wrestling is getting so predictable now it really sucks. nexus could of been the next nwo seriously. they completely ruined it tonight on the pay per view. you knew cena wasnt gonna turn heel because he came out with a new tshirt and hat with different colors making it obvious hes gonna still be the superhero. the only time i thought maybe just maybe cena is gonna turn on his team was when it took him so long to get into the match and when edge knocked him off the ring and he was on the ground. i was praying just praying that he was gonna turn...but of course theres NEVER any surprises in the wwe anymore. also thought triple h was gonna come out and declare himself as the head of nexus or something but of course not. the whole storyline is shot now and its back to the same boring monday night raws. it was actually interesting for a little while when nexus was taking over everything it actually made me wanna watch the show every monday. big deal daniel bryan came back wow another guy thats 150lbs thats like evan bourne thats just gonna be jobbed anyways. just my 2 thoughts. i come on this site and read articles and posts all the time but i just felt like i had to register and reply to this post. nexus had it all...all the guys were young, built, in shape made it interesting. just imagine cena turning heel and being their leader just imagine how interesting it would be if they just kept getting member after member and really did take over raw like nwo did in wcw back in the day. that was wrestling...i was actually impressed with bret hart though, definitely looked a lot better then he did back at wrestlemania
