Really, Vince McMahon is upset at Nexus shirt sales? You take a group of people that the casual fans didn't know about until they were on NXT, team them up for no real reason after NXT ends, and then give them a lame shirt... and he is mortified at the sales of the shirt...



The shirt sucks anyways. It's just the letter N on the front, and they're not even cool heel.

Lock Jaw 09-26-2010 04:11 PM

Yeah, what does he expect? Nexus aren't exactly the "cool rebel outlaws" that the nWo was.

Plus, it is a giant yellow square with a black "N" on it.

Fucking utilising the workers right would help Vince. You fucking ass clown.

Honestly Nexus has wore out its welcome it should have been disbanded after summerslam. I thought they wouldn't have made without Danielson but some how Barrett kept the group of jobbers together.

XL 09-26-2010 04:59 PM

Looks like "CENA WINS" at HiaC.

Or maybe he loses.

Think about it. This report comes out just days after their biggest merch mover is put into a position where he may have to support the smallest merch movers.

Clearly, he loses then comes out decked out in N gear for a few weeks. Sales will be through the roof.

Maybe this was their plan all along. I mean, who besides Nexus and Cena even wear armbands that are sold?

erickman 09-26-2010 05:20 PM

yeah and the shirt sucked anyway all it was a big n

Innovator 09-26-2010 05:21 PM

You know Cena will have a purple N shirt

Jimmy Cones 09-26-2010 05:24 PM

Last Indy show I was at there were exactly 2 WWE shirts that I saw, both Nexus.

Savio 09-26-2010 05:25 PM

delete or merge with "NNNNNO!!!"
 
No shit its a fucking yellow square with a catch phrase on the back that Barret said once on the lowest rated TV show WWE airs.

I'm sorry, but how does this matter?

The nWo shirt was essentially just a few letters and it was one of the biggest selling shirts in wrestling history.

Also, the Austin 3:16 shirt. Yeah, it had a skull on the back, but still, the main selling point of it was one word and a few numbers.

Simplicity over complexity. If Nexus was over huge this exact shirt design would sell like hot shit.

Its not the fact of the letters but that it is a square.

Xero 09-26-2010 05:32 PM

It's a logo. It looks good. It's not fancy, but it more than gets the job done.

This is a skewed check mark. Would you call it bad?

dhellova guy 09-26-2010 05:45 PM

I actually like the design of the shirt.

Shouldnt Vince, if his cup were half-full, be thinking "wow, these guys are so over as heals, fans wont even wear their stuff! I'm so smart!"

I mean, thats what I would be saying, but then, I have a bit of an ego.

I have to assume that Vince built them up in his mind as the second coming of the nWo.

And with the original Cena attack, he wouldn't have been far off. But thinking it after the attack is what makes him insane.

I only saw 1 Nexus shirt across from us. The black guy in front of us that smelled like a toilet was wearing a shirt from NOC.

A skewed check mark looks better than a square.

BizarroKing 09-26-2010 06:00 PM

Maybe people thought the N stood for something else?

LOL! I remember that movie. Also, not sure why Youtube recommends I watch reactions to "2 guys, 1 horse" after watching that video above.

I heard Sesame street is going to be brought to you by the letter N soon and they are negotiating bulk shipments

yeah an we still see a bunch of nwo shirts at westling shows and raw and impact shows. turner made a killing with that shirt in the 90's, an for people to still wear it 15 years latter. i was thinking of getting that shirt back in the day, but i allways hated hogan.

Fox 09-26-2010 07:25 PM

I'm sorry, but this:

http://oi30.tinypic.com/f0pvfn.jpg

Is not an attractive shirt. It looks like a warning sign you'd see on the side of the street. It's got a big "N" on it. WTF. The first time I saw them come out together I thought it was a fucking joke.

http://www.wrestlingvalley.org/wp-co.../7860/7860.jpg

"NNNNNNN." Come the fuck on. It LOOKS stupid. Compare those to these:

http://araspro.com/images/nwo_double.jpg

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JVHfOKaeUi...o/s400/nwo.jpg

It looks like a gang spray painting: there's a reason for the design of the shirt. It was and still is pretty cool. Anybody who put on the shirt instantly gained more credibility simply by doing so. It meant something. The D-Generation X shirts accomplished the same thing.

http://www.wrestlecrap.com/rwtb/dx.jpg

The Nexus shirts are just fucking ugly. If they were half as cool as the nWo, DX, or even some of the other current Superstars' shirt designs, they'd be selling like fucking murder based on how they've been pushing the Nexus.

MoFo 09-26-2010 07:50 PM

Teh shirt isnt that bad, its just Nexus arent cool heels that can shill a million shirts anyway. You are comparing a group of first yr rookies to to the biggest stars of the business in Hogan, Nash and Hall, it isnt a fair way of gauging success.

Juan 09-26-2010 08:03 PM

So another "Attitude era is better than the current era" thread? great

Destro 2.0 09-26-2010 08:06 PM

I blame this on Otunga he should have never been on I love New York.

The Pope 09-26-2010 09:32 PM

I loved those NWO shirts!

The Pope 09-26-2010 09:37 PM

A veteran wrestler's invasion is more believable than rookies invading.

That can't seriously be what you got from what I said. It's a design problem. It has nothing to do with the Nexus storyline as a whole; I'm talking about the conception and execution of the Nexus logo, which is fucking ugly as fuck.

The Pope 09-26-2010 09:40 PM

I think HHH's kid desinged the shirt.

What do you get when Owen Hart leaves the Nation and joins the NWO?

The Nexus shirt.

Anyone who doesnt get that, look at Owens attire during his stint in the Nation.

I still like the shirt though.
