The Nexxus had some serious potential from a storyline perspective. Some of the guys weren't the best but you could totally buy into Barrett coming in to the Main Event out of nowhere. He has the look and Slater and the other guy would have been a perfect tag-team to revive that division. Then Otunga as the muscle.

But they effed it up to protect their boy Cena throughout the angle and then his firing, coming back, joining them it was just a mess.

If they really want to follow through with this Punk wanting change thing, he needs to recruit some young guys on his side. Even if he doesn't want to create a full out faction, he's got to be in their ears, turning guys against HHH.

I like Cena the Heel rapper, it went so perfectly he. He should do the rapping thing even as a face from time to time. His promo yesterday was crap, over hyping every word.

Good call on Hassan too.

How about Slick Rick as the manager from the 80's, used to love him.

What about a successful Brooklyn Brawler. Brawler was always a jobber back then but maybe someone taking on that role but actually doing something with it. Although, that would affect the way people look at the original Brawler.

Spot on. If Skip didn't get hurt he was the perfect muscle for the group. They just refused to ever make Cena look weak unless it was a 7 on 1 beat down, and Cena even won some of those. They had a golden ticket for something fresh with him and they went w/ the same old crap. Cena beating impossible odds. Change the record.
