God, can you imagine if they set up some kind of six man tag, put the five remaining guys in it with one other poor sap and they all look at each other, then at the other guy (probably Titus) and the five of them just beat the crap out of him?
Do it on an Old School RAW, that way you can always pretend it didn't happen.

It felt surreal. It was one of those deals where everyone knows it's scripted, but it's so good you let yourself believe in it. Of course, they ruined it over and over again. The worst being the Summerslam match. Cena is left alone at the end with mulitiple Nexus members and rolls them over to win after taking finishers and shots on the concrete floor. So dumb. jericho talks about the match in his third book, that cena approached him and edge and said he was going to get a ddt on the floor, get back in the ring, AA someone, and win. jericho and edge tried to talk him out of it, because it was a bad idea (duh), but cena did it anyways. he apologized to them after the match, and admitted they were right.

I remember that Summerslam had a whopping 2 matches advertised beforehand. They put everything into that giant main event, and by the end of the night, The Nexus were good as dead.
Remember the Raw before Summerslam when Team WWE/Nexus had that brawl to close the show? The crowd was going absolutely apeshit, so much so the hard camera was shaking.

People told me to "wait and see" when it came to "the bigger picture".
Did anything ever come of that?

If I recall correctly, he wasn't just suspended. Bryan was fired. Yeah he was fired. The rumor was that Vince himself apparently called to let Bryan know why. My guess was included in that talk was if/when this blows over we'll offer you a new contract. Loved the debut and some of the stuff after. Video package for Summerslam is AMAZING. But here's the thing.....they all kinda sucked. Bryan was the one guy who could have good matches consistently. Good lord did the Barrett/Orton matches suuuuuuuuck. Yep... and as I said in another thread the Terrible matches between Orton and Barrett are probably what made them fully decide not to put the Title on Barrett. Say what you want about the Summerslam match but they were still treated like a threat and pretty damn high on the card afterwards, it wasn't until after the Orton matches that they pretty much became cannon fodder.

I actually stopped watching because they fired Bryan, and not because I was this huge DB fan, but because it was bullshit to appease a toy company and a doomed political campaign.

WWE dropped the ball. I mean, there's really not much else you can say.
They were all pretty inexperienced but they were the hottest act the company had in a long while during a time where they desperately needed some new guys at the top. Crowds were BEGGING the regular WWE guys to put aside their differences and fight this dastardly super-faction. It started going downhill at Summerslam (what a dumb move, BTW. At least them win their first f***ing match as a unit) and then the Orton feud was pretty much the end.

I'm almost surprised they haven't done a Nexus reunion There was that time when Barrett wrestled Gabriel on a random Raw and some people started to chant for Nexus, which apparently at least led to a discussion of the possibility of a reunion. They've done how many NWO and DX reunions, why not the Nexus?

Such potential, but alas, Randy Orton and John Cena ruin everything.

While we're on the subject, what would you say were Bryan's best matches during his 2010 summer vacation on the indies?
