The "Growth" of Nexus

Here's the thing though. A threat basically means a guy is a good wrestler that has a high probability of winning his match right? Why would you boo that? What is it about being a good wrestler that makes it bad? Wasn't the Ultimate Warrior a threat to Hulk Hogan? Wasn't Shawn Michaels a threat to the Undertaker? Of course they were, but they got cheered all the way through.

Just being a threat doesn't make someone a good heel. There has to be more. HHH was a great heel because he had the ability to make his own rules and cheat to the top, not because he might win clean. Sheamus took Triple H out by jumping him backstage, not by winning clean. I think the problem here is you guys are confusing the words "credible" and "respectable." Winning clean makes a guy respectable. Winning by any means necessary makes him credible. And we don't need respectable heels. That in itself is an oxymoron.

And I don't know how you can say that WWE isn't making their faces go through some adversity when the company's top star is currently a slave.
