Tarver comes down with a case of who gives a fuck, Slater & Gabriel couldn't get momentum in any way other than as a tag team due to a lack of "little guy division"... even the added weight of Rotunda (heh), Batista 2.0, and even CM Punk after breaking up what was left seemed to be more from despiration to get momentum back. Otunga and Henning* are only together by circumstance, though they're making a decent go of things as they are. It seemed they had a massive idea how to start this angle, but didn't expect it to take off, so they didn't really plan anything long-term. The Cena thing where he could take on a whole gang by himself was really the nail in the coffin. I see them somewhere about "Natural Born Thrillers" area.

Almost forgot about the NBT (Mike Sanders and da boyz). I was one of the ones that marked out that fateful June evening when they were tearin' up RAW. Barrett was the perfect leader of them. Sheffield and Tarver MADE that group, IMO. The injuries and Daniel Bryan's firiing cost them any momentum that they had or would have had. The sad thing is they could've gotten it back. Cena should've stayed gone, for a little while at least, after he lost to Barrett. The NXT'ers that were elimnated should have been allowed to join, which would have garnered interest in that show. I didn't wanna see it end this way.
