Re-Booking Wrestling Angles Part 2
The Nexus Angle
June 7, 2010. A day that marked an interesting and compelling time for the WWE and wrestling as a whole.
The shocking debut of the season 1 NXT Rookies faction, lead by the winner of that season, Wade Barrett. The faction that became known as "The Nexus".
The way they came in and just destroyed everything and everyone in sight was just something we hadn't seen in a long time. Not since the nWo days in WCW. It was a time where we were really hyped up and buzzed about the product. It was a night that we wrestling fans will always remember.
But, unfortunately, when we look back at it now, all it does is fill us with so much rage, frustration, and flat out disappointment. Cause we know what happened just two short months later.
August 15, 2010. SummerSlam. The day that all the hype, interest, and intriuge died. The night that The Nexus, especially Wade Barrett himself, and all their momentum came to a grinding, screeching halt. The night that John Cena buried, not only Wade Barrett himself, but an entire group of young and promising talent that could have and SHOULD have been stars of the future to come for the next decade.
You know, wrestling fans, in my first part of the series, Re-Booking Wrestling Angles Part 1, make sure to check that out, I said that the Invasion Angle was the worst angle in wrestling history. And while I still stand by that statement, The Nexus Angle is probably the second worst angle of all time.
Why you ask? Because, like the Invasion Angle, it had the potential to create several new stars, make incredible moments on television, and tell one of the biggest stories that would grab us fans by the balls and make us watch with excitement.
And what happened? Again, like the Invasion, EGO. It was ego that ruined the Invasion Angle, and it was ego that ruined the Nexus Angle, this one being by Cena's big ego.
A story that should've been huge, and turned out to be one big failure that, pretty much ruined career's and caused bad business for everybody involved.
However, me being here, I feel like I HAVE to re-write this angle. Cause I think, no I know, I can do better than how the WWE handle this angle. How I would write this angle is how the WWE SHOULD have done the Nexus Angle.
So, without any further ado, this is Re-Booking Wrestling Angles Part 2-The Nexus Angle.
Author's Note: Yeah, I've decided to try and do a second part of my Re-Booking series, even though, I am not even close to finishing Part 1. Hope you all enjoy. If you do, make sure to comment, like, favorite, and follow this story for future updates. Thank you all and goodnight everybody.
