Unlike The Miz (untalented reality soap maggot #23234) Paul London is awesome and watching him buy groceries and rambling about Matt Hardy is more entertaining than anything The Miz will ever do in his whole life.
Seriously: Project Paul London>>>>>>WWE

Gotta mention the Nexus as well. Wade Barrett was the biggest thing in wrestling that year, and they finally turned the crowd 100% for Cena.
Barrett NEEDED the belt with the way they had booked him, and the Nexus needed their Sting. With any faction angle, you need to establish the guy or guys who will take them down.
Barrett shouldve won at Survivor Series. The entire WWE locker room shouldve turned on Cena. Cena should constantly be popping up to fight Nexus. Do something to change his character, make him into something more of a badass, no corny jokes, not even any real long promos, just a guy determined to get back the WWE title from the guy who relentlessly tortured him. The payoff couldve even been stretched to WrestleMania, and I really wouldnt have had a problem if Cena won the belt in that instance at Mania, because the storyline wouldve called for it.

Agreed x100. The guy became a super heel super quick and even managed to get boo'ed against Cena, yet they didn't put the belt on him, jobbed him out in the closing of the feud, kicked him cheaply out of Nexus and relegated him to a place in mid card hell. Only in the WWE can they destroy the momentum of a character so easily.

I don't think Barrett should have won the title.
I actually think his current spot is about where he should be.

I don't think Barrett should have won the title. I actually think his current spot is about where he should be. I don't think he should have won the title either. But he could be doing more than he is doing right now. Also when RVD debuted with WWE he was over. The crowd loved him but yet he was always stuck around the midcard fighting for IC title. They could have done so much more with him.

Owen Hart after the screw job. When a guy with Shawn Michaels as his avatar says this, it's definitely a screw-up. (I picked Cryme Tyme. There was just no excuse whatsoever.)

It was huge waste of one of the WWE's most effective heels in recent memory. I don't know why people think he should have won the title. Miz was a better choice. Barrett's 'heat' was the result of Cena. Plain and simple, and his matches with Orton were boring, and had little heat, until Cena got involved. The moment his feud with Cena ended, it wasn't going to be the same. And it wasn't. It wasn't something Barrett could sustain on his own. He's still a few months from really being a main eventer. He's only just completed his first year in the company. The IC title is right for him.

The Invasion mainly because they didn't sign Big Poppa Pump when they really should have done.

It's the other way around. Barrett'd gotten a crowd one hundred percent behind Cena for the first time in years, and the only reason his heat wasn't 'sustainable' is because of the bookers' incompetence. Maybe he didn't need to hold the belt but they way they handled him and the rest of the Nexus was awful and killed alot of his momentum.

Cryme Tyme. They were stupidly over, but despite there being two tag titles and them being passed around without much rhyme or reason, the most over team on the roster never got them.
The Invasion was close, but really there was so much working against them beyond McMahon's desire to bury WCW that it was never going to be good. You don't have the biggest names of WCW at your disposal, but if you wait to ensure that you can get all of them then it will pretty much be too late for it to matter. They drastically misused who they had (DDP being the biggest victim), but it was never likely to work out the way people wanted it to.

Matt Striker "Your Teacher" was really over and then they just jobbed him out.

Nexus and Miz winning the belt are tied in together for me. Argue all you want with me, but in my opinion, Miz has no business being in the main event. I hate to use an old wrestling cliché, but Miz simply doesn't look credible up against guys like Cena and Orton. I know he's supposed to be this chickenshit fluke champion, but he never should've gotten the belt. Barrett should've won it at Survivor Series and held it until at least Mania. Nexus could've been the biggest angle in the last decade, possibly even bigger than the Invasion. But the moment Cena popped up after a DDT on the concrete like nothing happened, Nexus was doomed. But if Barrett had won the belt, there would've been some credibility restored to the group. Although Skip and Tarver's injuries didn't help, WWE still brought in McGillicutty and Harris to fix that. But between the true occurrence of Super Cena and Miz ass-kissing his way to the belt before one of the most over heels in recent memory won it, Nexus was a self-fulfilling prophecy of failure.

There is simply no argument for anything other than the InVasion, there just isn't. It's ridiculous to suggest otherwise. The InVasion should have been the biggest. Thing. Ever. in the history of wrestling. It should have been so huge that it basically killed the industry by eclipsing anything else that could possibly happen. WCW vs. WWF was the dream of so many fans for so many years, and they f***ed it up.
