It's two mediocre angles that weren't very good the first time, combined into a single retread!
Eh, it's probably just a way to let Cena kill a couple months before his Wrestlemania feud starts up. Hopefully they don't waste too much time on this nonsense.

Very clever, opens alot of possibilities. What happens with Barrett? Is Punk using the Nexus? Is Punk the leader? Is Punk the GM even?! Is Otunga the new leader of Nexus? Will Barrett return to fight against him with his own faction? Or will Barrett end up being a part of the bigger picture down the line? Alot of possibilities, but it's still predictable and lame apparently. And if the Undertaker comes back will the wwe remember that it was actually Nexus who took him out? |

Eh, It cant make Punk look any worse than being completely dominated by Rey/Big Show for a combined 6-7 months Touche, but then you're just pairing two non-credible sources together. I'm glad some people are excited about it, don't get me wrong, Diffstrokes, diff. opinions, but not everyone IS gonna like it. I hate the idea; just my view. Im honestly not sure how I feel about it yet. Just feel like there are too many kneejerk reactions around here sometimes. Let's allow this to play out for a bit. |

I'm going to be cautious with this, as all it is to me right now is a rehash of the Cena/Nexus rivalry with Punk replacing Barrett.
It's wait-and-see at this point, folks.

So...........where's the thread in which we offer our weekly condolences to Nexus? I mean now that CM Punk is joining in, surely the two coming together is the peanut butter and jelly of the term 'berried'.

Alot of possibilities, but it's still predictable and lame apparently. Probably because Nexus Phase 1 had a lot of possibilities too and ended up with the usual "Cena makes everyone look weak." outcome and the WWE basically doing everything wrong from one step to the next and making it bland and obvious. Why have any expectations that this is going to be any better? Until the WWE proves us wrong, why not have doubt? Yeah sorry guys but how many times are you gonna fall into this trap the writers set up? It always has potential to be interesting and the WWE destroys it. All of those questions are great questions and would leave some suspense and build. But once again this is the WWE, meaning the angle will play out like so: 1. Next week Punk gives his explanation, Cena responds. 2. Nexus lay out Cena for the next 2 weeks after Cena defeats them in a number of handicap matches with or without Randy Orton. 3. Cena challenges Punk at the Rumble and beats him convincingly burying him under a pile of John Cena merchandise after the match. 4. Cena dances |

You said yourself just then, "Until the WWE proves us wrong" maybe they will now? How does anyone know they won't? We are coming up to Wrestlemania season, things get more heated and generally better around this period. Maybe this is all going somewhere that we can all enjoy? Who knows? But with the Punk twist tonight how the hell can anyone predict it perfectly? Wait until its over to bury it if you need to. |

Get ready for Smilin' Wade Barrett! He hi-fives the fans WWE universe on his way to the ring, and even gives a tube of hair gel to one lucky youngster at ringside. Kinda like a reverse Rock. |

And there is a way better chance that this angle will end up even more messed up and pointless and stupid as the initial Nexus angle has been. You can call me narrow minded all you want, but it's conditioning to the way the WWE operates. I'd LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE for them to prove me wrong here, but I am just not getting my hopes WAY up like a lot of you seem to be just because it's CM Punk. (Who I love btw.) |

I totally agree, and I'm fully prepared to be let down by this whole thing. But like I said, for tonight, I'm enjoying this for what it is -- one of my personal biggest markout moments of the year. Let the future hold what it holds, but why not kick back and enjoy the awesomeness for tonight?  |

But what a boring time, if it seems so likely that the outcome will be very predictable and restore things to the same state they were when the story started? Why not be critical for want of something dynamic and substantial, that leaves such an impact that even when the face does prevail things won't be as they were when it started? Like, why not ask for a better story and excuse what appears to be creative laziness? |

i will stand by that i like that Punk is with Nexus...but honestly, wwe could care less if the internet dosent find nexus to be a threat anymore...Nexus still look threatening to little kids...and little kids have moms and dads that will buy them cena merch to support there hero...buy cena dvd's to support there hero...or if the kids is more of a rebel...will buy him a nexus shirt and a nexus armband...because wwe see's things as Kids = Money  as long a the kiddies have MONEY...everything will be good! |

SES wasn't a stable it was Punk with a valet and a bodyguard, then a 2nd bodyguard. Punk in Nexus might be what SES could have been, Barrett will show up on SD! To face Edge since Smackdown is lacking in heels right now, then Barrett will face Taker at Mania if Taker is healed by that time. To be honest I think he could be the guy to break the streak.

Eh, people sure seem to be complaining quite a bit about an angle that's existed for maybe an hour and ten minutes. The sad thing is that is the entire point of ANY angle...to get you talking. I personally like Punk and didn't want to see an end to Nexus so this is kind of cool to me.
It's also kind of cool that Cena may have to recruit Barrett to defeat the group that he once led.
Wrestling is kind of fun when you don't read WAY too much into it. It's just a show folks!

Again with that whole "its because it is Punk" thing, that is total bulls*** (regarding my opinion anyway) Punk has gone from being stale on SD, taking out Bourne in the mid card, being a commentator and now starting a feud with Cena which also incorporates the Nexus (however long that lasts). My point is that the reason people are liking it is because it is DIFFERENT. Punk is generally treated different it seems. That is something we should all be welcoming surely? |

Because it's really easy to imagine that if it WAS Otunga or say...HHH in Punk's spot right now it'd be getting shit on way more than it has. And it's not a new angle...it's a continuation of a neverending Cena vs. Nexus angle in which Nexus has already been shown to be worthless in. |
