I also think they need to be broken up. For what was a great idea and produced one of the biggest WTF mark-out moments I can remember, they sure did manage to drop the ball.

fine, but I hope they realize what made this angle work in the first place and utilize these things in future angles. the angle just ran into shit luck.
I love wrestling more when stables dominate a show. We haven't really seen that since the days of Evolution and the Cabinet from what I remember. Legacy was terrible after a couple weeks. |

Be very careful about throwing out old WCW ideas here. Most everyone hates them despite the fact that some of them worked out really well.

If Barrett is indeed out until SummerSlam, I could see them ending it before then, but ending it on this next Raw seems like it would be hard to pull off without completely killing their momentum.
I agree that it seems too simple to shoot a few Barrett promos via satellite to keep his face on TV. If they don't want to do that, they could do something like have Barrett "suspended" but still giving orders while he's away. If they wanted to keep the gang motif going, it'd be like the head of a gang still ordering hits while behind bars. Barrett wouldn't even have to be on camera for this...they could have Tarver or Otunga explain the hit as being ordered by him. At the very least, if they're going to end this soon, set up some kind of in-fighting for control of the group and have it break down that way. Otunga thinks he should be the new leader because he's the A-lister, Tarver thinks he should be the leader because he has the killer instinct, Sheffield thinks he should be the leader because he's the biggest, etc. |

Don't end a good angle because you run into some bad luck. Write around the bad luck, change... evolve. The best ideas grow out of necessity. As many have said you don't need a mouth piece when all you're doing is laying waste to people. Also as many have said Barrett can still show up via satellite.
If they abandon this storyline it'll be the greatest example of the WWE's inflexability and lack of imagination yet. |

Surely if it's recorded in the UK, it counts as working in the UK and not the US? Though it will be for a US company? Bit amiguous. |

I don't truly believe that abandoning this altogether is the right move. They've put alot of time and effort into this storyline and I feel that it deserves to be done the right way. Now that a couple of the staple members are gone, it isn't all that easy to continue, but I think WWE should just get a bit creative and this could go a long way.
If I was booking this, I would temporarily replace Barrett with a WWE veteran that never "got his fair shake" in the company, despite being there for so long. There's a numbers of guys that could be used but personally, I'd choose Dustin Rhodes (Goldust). On an edition of Raw they could promote Goldust's "last match" in a small tag team match of Yoshi/Goldust vs random tag team #4 or something. In the middle of the match the NXT guys surround the ring. Nexus swarms the ring and Goldust escapes out of the ring before he can get attacked. 2 more WWE guys hit the ring (preferrably main eventers Cena/Sheamus or something) to "even the odds." Goldust grabs the ring bell and slides back into the ring. Cena is mounting offense and is fighting everybody off quite well and then gets LEVELED by Goldust. The massive beating continues and Goldust gets on the mic. He could say something like "You think I don't know why these guys are doing this? You think I don't know why they want to make an impact? They're doing this because they don't want to turn out like I did in the WWE. The way that they were treated when they came into this company is the way I've been treated in this business for the last 20 years. I announced my retirement last week and nobody cared. They gave me my last match on a low card piss break segment of RAW. I'll be damned if I'm going to stand around while it happens again. Before it was just a catch phrase but I'm going to make sure now that you'l NEVER forget the name of... Nexus. Dustin would of course shed the paint and all. I think he could do great in a mouth piece/leadership role at least while Barrett is gone and they could really make it make sense if they chose to. I understand that this was a rather detailed account of what I'd like to happen (maybe even a bit noid-esque) but this is how I'd book it for the time being. It doesn't have to be Rhodes either, it could really be anybody on the low/mid-card (Masters, Regal, etc) thought this worked though. |

If Barrett is gone for any length of time he should be storyline suspended. While he's gone Vince and Bret attempt to get revenge by putting the Nexus in a tag match against Cena, Orton, John Morrison, Mark Henry, R-Truth, Bourne, and even hype up the return of Triple H for the match. When the WWE is in the ring, the Nexus comes out and refuses to work until Barrett's suspension is lifted and they just leave. Otunga can take the vocal lead for a while. The Raw guys continue to issue challenges to Nexus but they refuse and eventually stop showing up. Finally when Barrett is able to work again his suspension is lifted and we pick up where we left off. By that time Bryan might even be back and he can come back with or against the group.

The first person that came into mind for another under used vet was Chavo. However, I think if he were to lead the group they would actually lose credibility because he has been buried so much. Same with Santino. Santino probably could play a bad ass pretty well with his MMA background and new partnership with Koslov. Chavo not so much. |

To be fair, this wouldn't be their run of the mill "We're bored with it" drop. I'm pretty sure WWE didn't plan on firing Danielson, but they had to because Linda is trying to distance herself from wrestling and also, it's a total work, people. And their hands are tied with Barrett, because Linda didn't want to be tied to a company that hired foreigners. That's why Bret Hart is no longer GM and Kofi no longer speaks with a Jamaican accent, mon.
But seriously, it looks like WWE may have already been on this before Barrett's visa expired, so I wouldn't toss the baby out with the bathwater just yet. |

Well Wade (the wrestler guy, not Deadpool) coming back to work I can see them keep the Nexus.
However, I will still call them the "No One Gives A Damn 7". They're just a unit with a bald gerbil, a dude that does a 450, and a guy who talks with an English accent. |

People are chanting "NXT" or booing them as they see fit. To say these guys aren't working together is a bit silly. Also, Wade Barrett is cleared, so hopefully the group keeps going with better theme music.

I gotta be honest -- don't like the idea of Goldust leading the group. It was well-written, but I just wouldn't be able to take him seriously as a leader. Chris Jericho, I could believe. William Regal I could even believe (because I can buy him taking up the manager role). Dustin Rhodes is just someone that I don't see much worth past being Goldust and feuding with his brother, which they are still yet to do. Probably because they consider it a step-down for Cody.
