       How would you book the (Original) Nexus Members

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Back in 2010, I remember being upset like most of the guys
       around here with how The Nexus' storyline came to a close. The
       reason why it was doomed from the start may have been because
       none of the members had distinctive personalities or gimmicks.
       Outside of Otunga's lap-dog role, none of them (Not even Barret)
       had a consistent gimmick. After the breakup, slowly and surely,
       many of the guys would one-by-one come back with a new
       repackaged gimmick that differed greatly from their mostly
       soulless Nexus characters. If we were to see Nexus reunion now,
       it's safe to say that it would be far more interesting than it
       ever was in 2010. It's very cool to see how much they've grown
       in the business in such a short amount of time. Like a father
       watching his kids grow up. *teardrop*
       But contrary to what it seems I'm suggesting (a reunion), I just
       want most of the former Nexus members to be used in a better way
       than they currently are.
       Wade Barret: They really crapped the bed with this guy. They
       kickstart him in the main event and while he's very over as the
       top heel, they don't even give him a championship run. Now he's
       a gimmickless joke who is a waste of an IC champion. How many
       theme songs is he on now? 5? 6? How many IC reigns has he had?
       3? 4? He's not going to get over with the crowd on his own so
       take him off TV. Let him help train with developmental talent.
       He can teach mic skills, in-ring fluidity, and the importance of
       creating a gimmick - through struggling to find a good one of
       his own.
       Daniel Bryan: After his feud with The SHIELD is through, take
       him out of the Tag Team division. (Where he's only started to
       help recently) Push him back into the WHC scene. Del Rio is not
       interesting to the crowds so put his ass in the midcard or the
       TT scene (where he may find success as a heel) and give that WHC
       main event spot to Bryan.
       Ryback: Eventually have him win the WWE title at a big PPV. He's
       supposed to be this generation's Warrior/Goldberg/Batista clone
       so just let that happen when the moment arrives.
       Curtis Axel: If his main event push is for real, let him feud
       with Daniel Bryan for the WHC title. Bryan is beloved and it
       would be easier for Axel to get over as a power-tech heel by
       going against someone as universally liked as Bryan.
       Bray Wyatt: Since his gimmick is very much based on American
       stereotypes (Cajun hick, religious enthusiast, southern bred
       etc) put him in the US title scene and let him run with it.
       Heath Slater/Justin Gabriel: Break-up 3MB but keep Jinder and
       Drew McEntire in "JTG Jobber Hell". Repackage Heath Slater with
       Justin Gabriel since they're familiar with each other. And give
       them the Odd Couple comedic schtick since Team Hell No needs to
       break up eventually. Heath can remain the over-zealous trash
       talker who always bites off more than he can chew and Gabriel is
       the high-flying babyface who bails them out of trouble in their
       matches.
       David Otunga: Either go back to using him as a henchman for the
       managers and higher-ups or get rid of him. His best role in the
       WWE is as a prop. (much like Ricardo Rodriguez)
       Darren Young: He's the weaker half of Prime Time Players but at
       least he has a solid gimmick with them and is being used
       logically at the moment. Eventually PTP will have to win the TT
       titles and have a nice long run with them. Mainly for Titus
       O'Neil but if Young learns how to be a comfortable yet effective
       heel, then it'll benefit him greatly as well.
       It would be great to see a day where each of these guys are over
       as heels and the creative team decides to reunite Nexus. But
       before such a ridiculous fanboy dream could ever happen, each of
       these guys need to continue down their paths to success. To any
       fans of the original Nexus, how are these suggestions/demands?
       What would be some of your own?
