*MERGED* [OFFICIAL] The Nexus General Discussion thread

[KKarvox]

For anyone that didn't just see it, Kane helped The Nexus beatdown the
Undertaker, and while it is anything but conformation, do you think that Kane is going to be revealed as the leader of Nexus, or do you think it was just a one night deal?

For the affirmative, think about it, Kane is trying to mirror Taker in every way to become the new phenom, trying to take out Bret Hart like Taker took out HBK, maybe Kane is forming his own following so to speak. Why else would Kane use his "powers" to help Nexus, and it would also explain why Nexus has not touched Smackdown, as is Kane's territory so to speak, and Nexus is his way of keeping a presence on Raw.

Perhaps it was just Kane letting Nexus do his dirty work, but it's something to watch in my opinion.

What do you guys think?

 

[Hazardous]

No. I'm sorry but a million times no. Just happened to be a one time thing, as what better way to make an impact then to attack the legendary Deadman? For years now people have made a name for themselves by attacking Undertaker, and this was just the Nexus way of "making an impact". Kane just happened to be there at the time. Saw it coming a mile away really. But as everything, the "higher power" probably has a McMahon name on it.

 

[WweBreezybre]

OMFG No he's not the leader Personally I dnt think Nexus needs a higher power Im srry but you ppl lead to much into things its not like kane was down there fighting with them no it was just 2 storyline intersepting Im not trying to bash you seriously but when I look at the shit ppl put up lik not to long ago ppl were saying that the person driving the limo for Nexus was leader now look at where we are now and we haven't heard anymore about him.

 

[Daratedrsuperstr]

No, I think this was just a one night deal to make both the Nexus and Kane look strong by taking out the Undertaker.

 

[Porter1989]

nexus was just looking to make an impact. and kane let them soften him up for him. undertaker was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. kane will do whatever he needs to do to hurt the undertaker and if that means nexus taking him out then so be it. so no kane is not the leader, just having nexus do his dirty work. nothing more.


nice reply Neiler187-just a plain NO and nothing more. classic.

 

[ABMorales787]

Really now. So for one second, it couldn't possibly be to further the feud with The Undertaker. No, not for a second. I suppose Jericho and Edge leaving at the main event is also a reason to believe that they are involved.

Say, why not Santino? Maybe he's the mastermind. I mean he's never been victim to any of the Nexus attacks. Hell, he might be the mystery GM, too.

No, Kane is not behind Nexus.

 

[Krobra]

The chance of Kane being the leader of Nexus is 0%. Kane used an opportunity to weaken the Undertaker a little more and use more psychology against him. I am personally happy with Nexus being only five, six with Skip before breaking his ankle.

 

[Cebeards]

the conceptual possibility that this idea manifested itself in your head as a road to be traveled, punches my brain in the dick. Altough, Kane had a pretty decent promo. Oh yea, my answer is no....

 

[Dohara]

Its possible. The Kane/Undertaker fued started on the Smackdown before the Raw that Nexus formed and destroyed everything and everyone (besides cole) at ringside, plus what Kane said did link to what The Nexus have been saying for months.

 

[The Doctor]

You know, what's so bad about this? Didn't we all suspect Nexus of taking out The Undertaker when the invasion first happened? And Nexus has been talking about a higher purpose for a long time. Kane could have formed and hired the Nexus in order to take out Taker and become champion. If it's true, this could lead to some massive crossbrand mega storyline. How cool would that be?

Just kidding, it's not going to happen and was only a one night thing in order to give Nexus and Kane some more heat and further both storylines at the same time. Nothing to see here, folks. Move along. Too many stories would be confused and messed up were this to actually happen.

 

[timber123]

Enough of these elimantion matches because in my eyes just makes then not impressive. Ohh the beat down the Undertaker who basically whipped the floor ti'll lights went off. and in the match jericho and edge leaving just doesnt help the cause it just makes the title match interesting and obviously it was to put over Barrett but in know way is Nexus stronger now without Sheffield. its just not fun anymore watching them beside barrett have to be in these matches. Hopefully next couple weeks the get some work in singles but right now im not liking it. just my opinion

got prediction if anyone cares in im seeing Barrett winning with help from Nexus as well as in the near future Undertaker coming back on Raw for an appearance

Just your guys thoughts do you think these matches make them stronger despite what king and cole say?

I agree Doc, when 'Taker first went out, and then Nexus was beating down people, I was one of them people who thought that they could be behind it. But then Kane started his hunt, and it became a little obvious. But after the Promo on Smackdown talking about this is a plan years in the making and all that, why include the big heels from RAW, onto a Smackdown feud? It would really take attention away from the two monsters, and put it on Nexus, and where would that leave Cena without his big Anti-Nexus thing? Thats why it wouldnt work that well. Leave it with Kane and Undertaker, as this very well may be the last time we see this.

 

[LigerBomb]

I'm going to be polite and simply say no. It was just a case of angles overlapping to accomplish simultaneous storyline progression while saving time. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

[Prolific]

I think the momentum is going south for NXT. They had something really intriguing going, and with the ousting of Young and Sheffield, I think it makes them even weaker.

There was something about the "Nexus Seven" that Cole started referring them as for a couple of weeks that made you want to know what was going to happen next. Now the beat downs are stale, and seeming creative can't come up with a good idea to revamp their level of mystique.

 

[WRESTLING_GENIUS]

No its not Kane, my opinion is its going to be The Miz since hes been on both seasons of NXT and well it jus runs together perfect IMO, but Kane being the leader is the worst idea ive seen posted on this site, jeese, something happens once and everybody blows it out of perportion....

 

[LigerBomb]

Strength is relative. It makes them looks smart. They more often than not act like a cohesive unit who all share in the same common goal. They recognize their strength in numbers and how it overcomes their individual inexperience. The more they do that the more they reinforce their "we are one" gimmick. Thus I see nothing wrong with them using—and actively exploiting—the numbers game whenever possible. What would be the advantage to them trying to win in singles matches? Too risky. Why bother? Along the same lines if it annoys and bothers you that they are "hiding behind their numbers" then all the better. They're heels remember? You're not supposed to like them.

 

[ABMorales787]

The fact that 3 of the guys couldn't beat an extremely exhausted John Cena doesn't help that cause either. Their air of invisibility is long gone. And now there little to them seriously with. Like mentioned before, they couldn't beat The Undertaker without Kane playing with the light switch. And they faced 3 guys tonight instead of 5. WWE really screwed up there on it. If the objective is to reach Survivor Series, then they'll reach it on their slimmest thread. Unless they add star power to the group which would just kill the purpose of the group. To push new talent. It seems the only hope for the group is for some guys from NXT 2 to join. But that would kill the purpose of the show. I'm intrigued by it. Can WWE find a way to save the group? Or will it not reach it's final destination?

 

[Spaceman Spif]

Sorry, but no Kane is not the higher power of The Nexus. The Nexus is not going to cross over to Smackdown and Kane is not going to cross over to Raw again for a while at least. This was a one time thing that was supposed to Nexus look stronger, but instead made them look foolish. At least it furthered the Kane/Taker storyline, but no Kane is not going to be the leader of Nexus.

 

[Spaceman Spif]

The Nexus as a group looked weak as hell tonight, they looked confused and lost. The only one who looked strong was Barrett, which there are obvious reasons why. However the group as a whole is barely keeping their heads above water right now. I think they will reach their destination, but unfortunately I do not think it will be as good as it could have been. The WWE really didn't help their cause tonight did they? I mean the five of them getting the shit kicked out of them by Taker until Kane turned the lights out, made them look unorganized and weak. Then only being able to barely scrape by the main event, made them look weaker still as a group. Sad night for Nexus, really sad.

 

[XXJJ]

I thought what happened tonight should of happened at summerslam. They should of been able to beat Super Cena especially when they outnumbered him. I thought they lost a lot of momentum losing at SS. Sheffield breaking his ankle didn't help either. He was looking like the 2nd strongest member of nexus.

Honestly WWE just need to use Nexus to help Barett establish himself as a future main eventer. The rest of them will be lucky to be mid carders.

 

[RKOMVPIMO]

I think the Nexus angle will come to an end very soon. I say after Survivor Series the group will break up with the members turning on Barrett for using them to help him win the WWE Championship. It's just getting very stale and seems like fewer people are caring about them each week.

 

[timber123]

yea i agree the only way Nexus is staying now is to Help Barrett grow and show he can mess with the likes of Cena Orton and Taker even though every guy he has faced has thrown him out of the ring only to come back after the rest Nexus beat those guys down so Barrett could use his move. Just not impressived and the NXT 2 season guys dont think will help. But who knows at this point im just happy Orton has a reason RKO Barrett

 

[Ace333]

well everyone from nxt season 1 showed up on raw so how about a few guys from season 2 joins like Riley, and Kaval

 

[timber123]

Oh Yea and props to Sheamus tonight for not *****ng out but i would have like to see him have elimnated someone

 

[It's Damn Real!]

They're not strong because the only "credible" wrestler in the entire group—that is to say, the only one who looks as though he can legitimately perform, and has, in the main event—is Barrett, and he's only good by default.

Outside of Barrett, what have you? A hideously inbred looking redneck with a broken ankle, a 450 splash, some random ginger with a girls haircut, a G-list husband of a D-list celebrity and Michael Tarver. Wow. Well, color me impressed – this is a fantastic group of haven't proven shits who couldn't hold a candle to the history of this industry's preceding (and successful, might I add) stables.
