You're either Nexus... or against us.

How would anyone know if I was in nexus?
what if the nexus came out to wild and young instead of their based theme?
>>18984564They were so cool.They were so goddamn basedI was so fucking hyped for them.They were killed in a single summer Absolutely amazing historic fuck up.No reason Woi couldn’t have been WWE champion he was READY.
>>18984594That shot of them swarming Cena goes hard
>>18985842i think being in the crowd for the nexus debut is probably a top 10 wwe crowd of all time to be in
Tarver was inexplicably over for me and I have no idea why.
>>18984564Emotunga was my GOATI need a Nexus hoodie fr
>Ruthless Aggression >Legacy>Nexus >The NXT Graduates (2023-2024, Ilja, Bron, Lyra, Roxanne, Fraxiom, Giulia, etc)How many other times has WWE completely fumbled the "New Generation" stable/idea?
>>18986088Legacy would’ve succeeded if they hand’t backed the wrong horse
>>18986093Who's "they"? It's all Vince and his obsession with hating new talent and Dusty for Cody. Anyone with common sense wouldn't have let DX win over Legacy at Hell in a Cell or let Cena fucking BURY Nexus beyond recovery. He's an idiot then and he always had and has been.
>>18986093Cody and Ted should’ve just been dude-bro jocks called Cody and Ted.The entire stable should’ve been a group of jocks just using their family name to party and pick up chicks.It’s was right there. Why did they have to instead just be the most stoic vanilla group of who cares to ever exist?
>>18986045Man Nexus was so over. Back in school a lot of kids wore the OG hoodie.

>>18986088>How many other times has WWE completely fumbled the "New Generation" stable/idea?The original "New Generation" era of the mid 1990s.
>>18986088Pretty sure the new stable on NuECW was literally called "New Generation" or New Blood and none of them went anywhere lol
>>18986411New Breed
>>18986419Yeah that. It's actually funny how many times WWE fumbled and ruined careers like that so easily and openly
For what did the N stand for?
>>18984603What does the I and E stand for?
>>18984564Excellent question, Shelton.
>>18984564>>18984594Unironically, Cena's retirement should be a fakeout. He makes a big fine speech, then a bunch of hooded guys swarm the ring with Nexus armbands. Barrett stands up from commentary, does a thumbs-down and they beat him up.
>>18986105While that Summerslam match was catastrophic in the short term, you also have to look at the situation with hindsight, that none of them aside from Wade Barrett ever amounted to shit anyway, so it would've fizzled out eventually
>>18984564Why do people act like they were this big thing? They were JOB Squad, something for Cena to do over the summer. CM Punk was ironically the breakout talent out of the whole Nexus gimmick. Consider that. He actually still debuted as a Nexus member as late as MITB 2011.
>>18986689It's too based and would put someone young and new over, WWE can't do that.
>>18986749Most Nexus guys are like 40-50 year olds at this point, they're the right age for main event stars in the current WWE.
>>18986700>build up new gen stable >bury them beyond repair >they can't succeed individually because they're tied to their burial and Vince never liked them as pet projects >lol why didn't they succeed on their own? What did he mean by this?
>>18986796>>lol why didn't they succeed on their own?Because they're shit, objectively, if you look at who was actually in the stable. They should've won at Summerslam but I don't think it would've changed anything in the long run because most of them couldn't wrestle or had no charisma
>>18986619Nexus
>>18986810>couldn't wrestle or had no charismaAnon... who buried Nexus?
>>18986146>song is clearly supposed to be Power by Kanye West>people thought that Justin Gabriel should have had the song because it has chanting and he’s from South Africakek
>>18986146This is a jobber theme if I ever heard one
>>18986760Nobody said they were gonna be the same Nexus dudes. Hello!? Husky Bray Wyatt is fucking dead. DEAD! Ain't no point putting a armband on him no more.
This was back when I really, really started to loathe WWE. All the drones were gassing it up like it was some awesome angle but it was a bunch of dimeless geeks and Wade getting pushed as legitimate force. Skip and Tarver were ok, but the rest? Not a fucking dime in site. Maybe if Danielson didn't get fired it might have gone somewhere interesting but those geeks carrying around those awful copper belts was a joke
>>18986796When you're in a stable, you tend to use the stable to get individuals over through it. Shield worked like this. Now Jasethy does fucking suck, but even a proud Seth hater like me can admit he's a million times better than fucking David Otunga or Justin Gabriel. The only one that benefited from the Nexus stable was CM Punk, because he just turned it into his goon squad. That's all they were, in any case, just a bunch of jobbers. Punk at least gave them a purpose for his revolution thing.>>18986829Are you seriously saying Cena was worse than Wade fucking Barrett? Are you seriously saying this retarded shit?
>>18987314You're an idiot if you think that most "successful" wrestlers today got by on their own merit instead of being pet favorites with connections or politicking + being booked constantly in the main event. If you don't understand that by now with how many mediocre talents are now "popular" and seen as "legends" then you're a fucking mark. For years, YEARS, people dogged on Randy for being garbage in the ring. Now everyone likes him. Why? Because he was pushed in main event feuds. People fucking DESPISED Cena. He had no charisma and notoriously COULD NOT WRESTLE. Now people claim they love him. Why? Because he was pushed. In main event feuds. Triple H. Reign of Terror. As interesting as a wet paper bag and as funny as a painful shit in the toilet. Revisionism again. Because he was pushed in, what? Main event feuds. Roman Reigns. The most bland and uninteresting and unambitious wrestler to disgrace the roster. Can you guess what happened to him? ...Can you guess why it happened? I rest my case.
>>18987377>Roman Reigns. The most bland and uninteresting and unambitious wrestler to disgrace the roster. Can you guess what happened to him?I mean, this proves that smarks are retarded. The minute Roman got creative control, he was actually allowed to shine, and he's easily better than any indie darling shitter like Dolph Ziggler who had no charisma, at all. Cena was good, like really good. Mostly smarks hated him, and as it happened, smarks got really loud in 2013-2014 when the internet was starting up.Is it a coincidence that the shittiest years, BY FAR, of WWE, were 2016-2019? You know, when guys like Cena took a step back and indie faggots were allowed in?You genuinely think someone like fucking David Otunga could headline WrestlemaniaLMAO
>>18987422Just say you grew up with Cena lil bro. It would explain your stockholm syndrome.
>>18987422>being a mark for c*na>being an anti for zig the nig Low IQ subhuman.

>>18990260Just like Big Kev!
>>18990260>cena timmy obsessed with bbc Lol.
>>18990416but enough about you
>>18990416That part
>>18989468>>18987450>>18990416Nope your wrong.
>>18990416>making all the timmies seethe with one post Kek
>>18984594Nickelodeon opening ass song
The whole purpose of this group was to build up Wade into the main event and they didn't pull the trigger. Wasted months of TV only for Miz main event the next Mania. Were they that worried about Wade making Rock look like a bitch?
For any dirtsheet fags, where there rumors about a team coming in to btfo of Cena and hold the show hostage? Or was it an actual surprise?
>>18986689>>18986749Gunther's his last opponent Imagine Gunther, Ilja and few other euros or nxtroons coming out to rape Cena
>>18991925I originally though his last opponent was going to be Jey. He eliminated Cena from the Rumble and is over with kids so kind of a mirror for heel Cena. I guess Jey failed the test reign with the WHC because Cena turned face and that match doesn't work anymore. I think it's Roman now.
>>18991477Wade is an anti-draw so no.
>>18986745>still debutedhmm
>>18991925An lanklet auschwitz runaway with zero muscle definition, a dimeless 130lbs midget and a bunch of other midgets... woah...Nexus worked because it was filled with big guys like Wade, Ryback and Tarver and medium sized guys like Otunga and Darren Young. The only small guys are Gabriel and Heath who were tag guys anyway.If current NXT tried to do an invasion it wouldn't work since 97% of those geeks wouldn't even be taller than Rhea
>>18992485Nexus didn't "work", they had a bunch of dimeless jobbers on contract and decided to throw them in to see if they'd work. They didn't. All of them tried to cut promos, all of them failed. All of them failed in singles matches as well.
>>18992553>all of them failedwow I can't believe somehow losing to an incohesive team and its top members getting crushed by CENA WINS LOL didn't make them stars
>>189925572012 called, wants its opinions back. They got crushed because none of them could draw a dime. Crowd hated them.
>>18992560WOW DUDE THE CROWD HATED THE HEELS HOLY FUCK THIS IS TERRIBLE
>>18992569It's fucking hilarious watching e-drones >>18992560 attempt to assess wrestling, they're fucking parodic>none of them could draw a dimeHow exactly are they supposed to draw if they never go over?
>>18992573Yeah it was definitely Nexus and not Michaels retiring.
>>18992610nigga what in the fuck are you talking about? Who mentioned HBGay Magazine ever?
>>18992617Kamala lost Hamas lost
>>18992573Yep. Ryback really set the world on fire when he went over everyone. If Michael Tarver got the same push, he would've been the next Stone Cold.Fucking faggot.
>>18992569It was more along the lines of X-Pac heat.>>18992573It's hilarious watching smarks assess wrestling, they're so parodic.
>>18992622>>18992700>>18993207>they get THIS mad over booking universally considered shitty getting criticizedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gtffv9bpB-U
>>18993207x-pac heat is literally made up cope by smarks
>>18993232e-drones will pretend they never liked it anyway when it was the only thing in 2010 WWE that caught on.
>>18987314
>>18993232Xpac sucked you stupid faggot
