Yesterday marked 5 years since The Nexus debuted

[R=G]

Thoughts that night? Who are these guys? That was pretty cool!

Thoughts now? Maybe it wasn't such a bad thing that a group where Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel were threats didn't make it

Bryan and Ryback are the only ones who'll make money for the company and they wouldn't get their real chance if they were stuck with the group for long period of time IMO. Bryan would be seen as Wade's lackey for a couple years and would've stunted his development of his underdog character. And Ryback would've got them deavours a couple years ago since he wouldn't get over as Skip.

There was MUCH more to Danielson's push than that..they wouldn't have him kick Cena's head off screaming "You are not better than me" the whole time and spitting a good loogie in his eye. Nah...Danielson was gonna be the mercenary and was gonna get cheered no matter WHAT once he hit the real cities.

They were what Rusev and the Wyatts were. A force being built as unstoppable so Cena would seem more impressive after stopping them. Had the been plan to get the guys in the group over the whole thing would have gone better. They could have let them dominate until egos broke them up. Instead they lost to Cena then booked them as just a group of guys who had no direction.

It says something that the only ones from that group with a chance of maineventing in the future weren't there for most of the angle. Bryan was "fired" and Ryback was hurt.

Great debut, great execution and like the mob in Casino, they managed to fukk it all up.
