Now we'll never know the REAL reason he had The Nexus help bury The Undertaker.

We will, we just have to wait until two more names get crossed off the list.

WWE used Randy Orton's Facebook account to diss Barrett and the media is spinning the blame on Orton himself, reason 123982948 to hate those worthless sacks of crap that think they can get away with the label of "reporter"

Sometimes feel like WWE bring these guys in too soon. The likes of Barrett, Ziggler, etc. have been in the company far too long without making a breakthrough. If Barrett had gone from England to Japan to spend a few years there he may have come in as a more well-rounded performer, with a bit of a name for himself, and wouldn't have spent 6 years treading water

Didn't even realize he was still under contract. What does he do? Would his flask still be over if he returned?

WWE putting the belt on a Brit would probably win a few fans here and get mainstream coverage. Obviously not a good enough reason to do it but with the right guy could be a smart move. Did hope Barrett would be that guy but a combination of bad luck and piss poor booking looks like that is down the drain.
Shame. And that bit where he ended up fueding with Wayne Rooney was one of the stupidest things I've seen. |

He does "analyst" work on the WWE network pre-show panels, seems like he got the Matt Striker / Byron Saxton deal where they just decided they didn't want him wrestling anymore.

Too bad, always thought he could have been something, but his body wouldnt let him. Hopefully he's happy with whatever decision he makes.

Otunga was always really clunky, but he was really, really fresh to the business. He was called up way too early for his "name." Who knows he if he ever would have "got it?" I hope he's still training.

Back when the whole "The Authority" thing was starting, he would've made a great on-screen lawyer to them even if he didn't wrestle.
UPDATE: Oh, right. Forgot he does the RAW Pre-Shows now... |

That and they realized he's a lot more valuable to them as a lawyer than as a wrestler because of his law degree.

Too bad he wasn't around to represent Bischoff during his trial.

David Otunga doesn't wrestle anymore because he got a major endorsement deal with Soul Glo hair products and is currrently working on a global marketing campaign for the new line of hair products with Eddie Murphy and Aresenio Hall, the company is called Coming to America. Otunga is their #1 male spokesperson and model.

Ruff Ryder is apparently referencing a lead balloon of a thread he made in 2010

This all reminds me of late 99/early 2000 when the WWE started bringing in guys from WCW and ECW to improve the roster. An inevitable side effect of bringing guys like Jericho/the Radicals/The Dudleyz, etc was that the old midcard had to make way and guys like D'Lo and Val Venis (guys who you felt were solid and could have maybe had more to their career with the right circumstances) ended up being pushed to the side.
Now with the WWE opening their horizons and bringing in talent from all around the world who are much better already or being trained better than the guys who pretty much came from a WWE branded factory before, it's going to result in the NXT guys and girls coming in a consequence will be, even with the Network and 5 hours of TV to fill every week, that the guys who are now dead weight will have to make way. Honestly wouldn't be surprised if a few more guys who were once knocking on the main event door find themselves looking elsewhere for work (such as Barrett, Swagger, Ryback) as well as all the dead weight on the roster like the Social Outcasts and Fandango. |

The WWE would really benefit from some sort of territory system. I guess that's what NXT and its relationship with EVOLVE are supposed to represent. Work things out with New Japan though. I'm sure Carlos Colon will accept help for WWC. Have Booker T's promotion in Texas be given some WWE funding and open up something in Memphis. Maybe look into buying a British promotion.

I could imagine Barrett dropping into NXT to target Balor, and regain "his" territory. Same for Swagger, he's another guy that could drop down with a massive chip on his shoulder and have blockbuster matches with a bunch of guys.
