I still love that moment. Punk sitting and slipping on the "N" armband. Even liked the slight "Fight Club"-feel it had at first. Like a-lot of things in the 'E, slight potential that imloded into nothing. That was by far the best moment in the entire program. The group just kind of went away once Punk delivered his now famous promo. I still hate the fact that it said CM Punk of the Nexus" on his on-screen entrance graphics at MITB.

CM Punk did the best he could with the gimmick, but it was a poor decision to break-up the Nexus into two groups and move Barrett away from the Nexus. That was such a stupid time, for everyone involved. Like, how do you take an awesome idea like The Nexus and f*** it up so badly that Wade Barrett is only just recently recovering from it? And then there's The Corre, which is probably the least imaginative name for a group since the Attitude Era.

To be fair Barrett's started to recover several times before just to have it get messed up. Most notably how he had that Orton feud that made him look great for most of it (and had that stupid yet funny elevator fight) until he suddenly just got swatted down by him then effortlessly tossed in the Rumble and how the Corre / New Nexus mini-feud was pretty damn over before they just abruptly dropped it.

True, and I'll admit that Wade getting injured when they'd start building him up didn't help.
