Having said that.... i'm really liking the look of Husky Harris
Me to, that guy is great!

Or really thinking outside the box.... Cena heel turn and alligns with Nexus.
That's awful dude!  That's Russoesque!  After all the beatdowns he has received from them and after they have caused him to lose 2 title matches, he joins up with them, that would just be beyond dumb, I'm all for heel Cena, but not like this.

I think they need to get the guys over more, because I watched NXT and really liked them, but they have to remember a lot of people who watch RAW have never seen it and to them these are just some nobodies from a show they've never bothered with.

Whatever they do, I hope they don't break them up. At least, not too soon. In recent years, the WWE seems to have had this weird compulsion to break groups up when they really don't need to. I think Nexus need to continue their current path of destruction for a few more months, including winning the match at SS. I think they've been booked well so far; dangerous and dominant, but not invincible (eg. running away from Cena's army or whatever the hell they're called on Raw).

I agree with Cowbell about them winning some titles. Have Barrett win the US Title and say, Otunga and Slater win the Tag Titles.

I think this angle could turn out really well if they continue the way they're going. Let's just hope the inevitable split doesn't come too soon or with too many casualties (ie. guys getting released/stuck with crap gimmicks)....

Also on the subject of them, what's with the **** T-Shirts, that is some of the worst merch ever, I know they are meant to be heels and unlikeable but that doesn't mean they have to look stupid too.

I don't think they look too bad actually. A big sinister 'N'....

They need something to show that they're all united and part of this group, so I don't mind the t-shirts.

Well yeah I'm not saying they shouldn't have them, just better designed ones, looking like they do they look indie level simple.

That is one of the major problems I stated, for people who watched the show its obvious who they are, to the many who didn't they are a bunch of faceless guys, and thats another reason why a split in the not too distant future would kill them.

NEXUS will more than likely win at SS, and here is how I would handle it from there since Barrett has a shot at the World title I would suggest letting him win it to put him over a little while. Then I would have the rest of the group start losing matches left and right with Barrett being the only one winning matches an using the group to help keep the World title.

In other words I would not break this group but let it break itself up from within, maybe after Survivor Series that is where the group should really start to fall part, and it should start at SS and finish at Survivor Series.

I say make it an elimination match.
Wish granted!

This will make the match a lot more exciting and entertaining, I generally get annoyed when they have massive tag matches like this that are only one fall to a finish, the only time they properly pulled it off was all the way back at Canadian Stampede.

Does anyone else think that the next set of Rookies might be incorporated into the end of the Nexus storyline?

I've been impressed with some of the rookies on season 2 of NXT, especially Husky Harris, Alex Riley, Kaval & Michael McGillicutty (4 of the last 5 in as it happens).

The Nexus storyline has obviously been a success but in reality i can only see Barrett & Sheffield getting further exposure with Maybes next to Otunga, Gabriel and Tarver. Personally i think Slater & Young will be gone within a year.

It has given them wonderful exposure and i wonder if they maybe would do something similar with some of the new crop. Maybe on SD or maybe merge the best of the two seasons under Barrett's quest to concur the WWE.

I mean Barrett, Sheffield, Gabriel, Husky, Tarver & McGillicutty as a heel group would be impressive IMO

Just wondered what everyone elses thoughts are?
This is how it works, You're young until you're not
You love until you don't, You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry, You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe, Until their dying breath

The 4 you have highlighted of the 5 left are the ones I like too.  Percy Watson is just blah now, can't stand him.

I say push them as individuals though, they can all make it, Husky Harris is the standout for me though, Steve Austin acknowledges his greatness too.

Kaval will do well in the Evan Bourne entertaining sense but probably achieve very little long term, he could benefit from being teamed with Bourne, those two paired together in the tag division, they could have some awesome matches.

Alex Riley is like a Miz clone, he'll be an entertaining midcarder, I like him, but I can't see him progressing far past there.

McGillicutty is decent in the ring, and although he doesn't have as much charisma as his dad he is pretty solid, makes a decent tweener.

To be honest I do not see any of the season 2 guys joining NEXUS, however let me throw something out here and see if it floats.

What if season 2 wrestler decide to form their own little group to do battle with WWE and NEXUS? How crazy would that be it could be like the WWF when they had the little gang war going on in the early 90's.

I think it will be like Legacy and they will jump out weak links and add the strong guys coming out of NXT

I just do not see them doing that I think they are going to pit Season 1 against Season 2.
