Well...Jericho was on fire. That's the first time I've heard a Y2J chant in a while too. And now we see the team breaking down....
Well...we now have Cena and Bryan vs. Barrett, Otunga and Slater. Cena getting beat on by Jericho and Edge outside the ring.
Very disappointing match. Not because of the win, but because of how. Skip Sheffield was the only guy from Nexus that came away from this match looking like a serious competitor. Wade Barrett was hardly in the match and when he got in at the end, he tapped without even struggling to get to the ropes. This makes that rumor I read somewhere about how WWE never wrote a full story for Nexus when they debuted them after NXT ended seem very real. Nexus are done because this match made most of them look pretty weak.
Probably nothing. They were pushing this whole "greater purpose" for why they were doing this. I was hoping that Raw vs. Nexus would be the explanation of that, but we got nothing there. I bet they're done.
I think Nexus is done. I sense a huge fallout coming tomorrow night with them disbanding and Wade Barrett starting his singles career, which I think will be a very successful one. The only Nexus members that have any future potential outside of him, to me, is Gabriel and Otunga. Gabriel because I think his ring skills are solid and Otunga because he's like Miz 2.0. Not the best ring skills, but great on the mic, which that alone can keep you in the biz. Two good things came out of tonight though. 1. The return of the Undertaker. This is great for multiple reasons. First and foremost, he's back and that makes Smackdown MUCH better now that he's there. Second, because of the ensuing feud with Kane. If they do that right, it could be the best storyline Smackdown has seen in ages, and could potentially show that that show itself isn't completely inferior to Raw (like it currently is). 2. Daniel Bryan making his return. I'm glad the WWE brought him back. I think he's immediately going to come in and compete for The Miz's US Title, and I think he's going to get that match at Night of Champions. He was also arguably the best wrestler that wasn't in one of the two major organizations (TNA and WWE). I think his return is going to be great for Raw, and strengthen an already really solid roster (and a roster that becomes even more superior to Smackdown).
Man, WWE matches suck ass these days. Even the PPV's. Weak event. I know regular TNA shows that have more exciting matches than this. And it's really sad, because WWE has the talent as well. Take for example that Gabriel guy from the Nexus, he seems like a high-flyer. Use him for something a bit more extreme. Or Evan Bourne as another example. WWE needs to realize that even little kids these days love to see some violence. Enough with this dumb PG crap. TNA > WWE by a long shot at the moment. Even the story lines are getting more interesting than WWE at TNA, especially with this new TNA vs. ECW thing they got going on.
TNA definitely has the better wrestling right now, I'll say that much. The best thing they had going though, did just come to an end when MCMG and Beer Money finished their best of 5 series. That being said though, I still think the WWE has the better storylines (for the most part). The Nexus storyline was really solid, though not fleshed out as well as it could be. Kane and Undertaker has potential to be a really good storyline. What happens to the SES after seeing Punk walk out on them could be interesting as well. So, to say the least, the WWE has the potential to have some pretty good storylines right now, they just have to do them correctly. TNA, on the other hand, has slightly ridiculous storylines, specifically the most recent one with Abyss and "they"...it's strange. At least the WWE, for the most part, keeps their storylines realistic and don't have people hearing things. They also don't seem to flesh out storylines too well, aside from the recent Abyss one. The MCMG vs. Beer Money series has been great, but no real storyline behind it. The Anderson and Hardy coalition has also been good, but I want to see where they go from there. But TNA, while they have the mostly superior in-ring action (which is honestly what matters the most), their storylines aren't the greatest. As for the PG rating, I'm wondering if it's their doing, or a product of being on USA. I'm wondering if it'll change at all when Raw moves to SyFy later this year. It'd be nice if it did, because they have the talent to put on better wrestling than TNA right now, they just are too timid in their presentation because of the PG rating.
This new TNA vs. ECW thing they got going on? By new, you mean the thing that WWE did in 2001? TNA is pathetic and far worse than WWE, which isn't exactly great entertainment at this time. I watch Impact...sorry..."The Whole F'n Show" this past Thursday and they were forcing themselves to be Attitude Era WWE, except they lack the personalities to do it. If TNA tried to be a wrestling show, it could work because they lack the entertainers.
Thanks for playing. You may have noticed the part where I talk about story lines and entertainment. Some people watch sitcoms on Monday night, others watch wrestling. What's the difference? Please carry on with your life and find something better to do than attempt to tell wrestling fans that its fake because we already know and we don't care.
