I'm all for new faces at the top, but he just doesn't look ready to me. As i said before, let him carry the US Title and see how that goes.
I actually think it would be better to give Barrett the World Title if they
are going to give him a title at all. Having the leader of Nexus holding the second-tier championship wouldn't make them that impressive, if that makes sense. Kinda like "We don't trust you with the top championship, here, have the US Title." Give Barrett the WWE Title in a few months, make Gabriel or whoever the US Champ and then some random pairing the Tag Champions, like they did with Evolution in 2003. I doubt it'll happen, but giving Nexus a few title would certainly help them. I'd be for one of the other members winning the US Title, but not Barrett....
