If Barrett is going to be out a while, I could see WWE making a MitB match at the PPV with the remaining Nexus members for his title shot.

Yeah, they shouldn't bail on Wade Barrett as NXT leader yet. They have something to actually build his heat up. Just have him give someone else the title of NXT leader while he is gone. David Otunga would make the most sense. They cut promos about how the WWE is trying to keep back Barrett, but they are working on ways to bring him back. Michael Cole can sheepishly add that Otunga went to Harvard Law school, so he is looking for a way past Barrett's "suspension."
You could even have Barrett occasionally air a video taken from England talking shit to the WWE. Then you just have him slide into the ring at SummerSlam or thereafter, after John Cena has either won the WWE Title or successfully defended it. He picks up Cena for The Wasteland, nails it, and we have a new WWE Champion. |

For the record, I'm not necessarily in favor of my idea, it's just something that I can definitely see the WWE writers going with - especially since it's being "reported" that the scripts are being written more short-term than ever before.

Jericho seems to be the likely choice, given that he was the Pro of the Season 1 winner and was the only guy on the roster not out there when Bret sent the entire roster out to watch the ring. Not that I want them to go that route, but IF they were going to - I could see the Raw GM "suspending" Barrett and then borrowing some familiar faces on SmackDown and making the remaining Nexus guys compete in a 7-on-6 handicap match against the Season 1 Pros. Jericho turns on the WWE guys, and bam...you have your mastermind. Hope they don't rush it...although it would be good to have a guy who can definitely talk. Otunga and Tarver are okay, but they are nowhere on par with what Barrett was on the mic. Jericho could fill that void. |

Man, I thought the UK-US "special relationship" would help out here. Come on the US has "no closer friend". pfft. What a crock of shit. I feel ripped off.
On a side note, Regal should really have rights to take American nationality by now? Ain't it something like 10 years before you can become naturalised? |

You can become eligible to apply for naturalization if you've been a full-time resident for at least 5 years. Wiki lists him as residing in Fayeteville, Georgia, but even if he is living here full-time I don't imagine he has a lot of time to take the necessary test. I know he's married with kids, but I don't know if his wife is a citizen or not.

Or they could just resolve his visa issues and he'll be back on Monday >_>

They have, apparently. The same goes with Drew McIntyre, who will return when creative find room for him. I'd personally have him cost Matt Hardy a grab at the briefcase in Money in the Bank -- or have him mysteriously added to the match as a ninth participant.

So was there anything past the "he may return as soon as Monday," or are we just taking another portion of a rumour out of context and running with it?
Seriously, because I read and have commented on the portion where he might be back soon, but that was far from definitive, even as rumours go. |

Granted, some rumours are bullshit, but this one is pretty clear-cut: The visa issues have been cleared up, and Barrett may be back as soon as Monday. If he's back on Monday, we know it's true. If he's not back on Monday, we know it's not. Simple.

So either you're completely missing the point or you're being a dick.
Good, I can go back to not paying attention to you. |

Wow, you were paying attention to me? How the mighty have fallen, KK? You can't be so sensitive about people being dicks, right? I mean, seriously -- you care if someone is a dick to you?
What more do you actually want from that report? A copy of Wade Barrett's visa? A comment from the US government? The rumour (and it is just a rumour) says that Barrett might be as back as early as Monday. It's pretty self-explanitory. If you want someone to hold your hand and tell you whether or not to believe it, wait and see. |

Somebody would be sacked at our place if they let work permits expire. Slack business practice by WWE if it's true. Even more stupid if someone has leaked it and it's easily resolved. Would make for a great storyline though.

Hopefully he is back on Monday, or if not then soon thereafter. I'm not sure anybody else really could handle the leading duties.
Otunga is the best talker, but can't back it up when the time would come to wrestle (and if he became the leader for now, he'd presumably be in a big match). Sheffield and Tarver aren't bad talkers, but they come across as the enforcers of the group and that would be lost if one of them lead. Gabriel is too nervous on the microphone. Young also isn't that good on the mic and looks too goofy to be the leader. And nobody should have to take orders from Heath Slater. |

I love how you took my thoroughly neutral position and made it about me demanding proof, though. I suppose it takes that kind of idiocy to go from Zero to WARGARBL in thirty seconds, though. |

Deciding their ranks by their order of elimination is also an easy way to go about things. Barrett won, he's the leader. Then you've got Otunga, Gabriel, Slater, Young, Sheffield and Tarver (the enforcers at the bottom). It seems to work well enough. |

I think the NXTers seemed a little bit lost without their leader on Raw. The attack on the legends took a lot longer then it should have. I'll be glad if he's back on Raw this Monday.
As for Drew, I thought he was supposed to be getting some time off to go on a Honeymoon. So, I say give him a little bit more time off to celebrate. Not sure if the INS would like if WWE announced that Vince McMahon got him out of his deportation. Good thing Wrestlemania happened in Arizona after that immigration law passed. ![]() |
