Pushing Kofi Kingston at all, because he doesn't deserve it, he's just a jobber. A BLACK jobber. Hehe. We the people. But seriously, STOP PUSHING KOFI KINGSTON, HE'S BORING AS fukk!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, the biggest lost-money eff up was easily NOT having a summer Cena vs Brock Lesnar fued leading to a monster match at Summerslam.

Extreme Rules had the biggest may buys since like..backlash 2000, and YOU KNOW summerslam would've gotten huge press if say the two of them had a cage match or something.

It only would've cost brock lesnar like 5 appearances and it would've paid well.

So many of these could be a winner here, but at the end it was a close tie between the nexus failure and cm punk push, and i chose the cm punk push just because of how MASSIVELY over he was, finally overtaking Cena in merch, could've been what they were calling this generation's Austin, and because of egos and PG restrictions they just straight fukked it up one week after the next. I remember watching it like :dwillhuh: :mindblown:

A retarded autistic monkey could've booked that better!

Everybody had those damn Nexus shirts...dudes acting like it was two bit stable...no...they kept losing to Cena in the end and was WAY, WAY more over than Sheild. Punk at his hottest barely matched their buzz....

Nexus didn't make any mainstream waves though. Non wrestling fans/sites weren't talking about them except for the time :bryan:got fired...

I wasn't really following WWE during the whole Nexus storyline, so while I agree that most of them are bums NOW, are we speaking with the benefit of hindsight or did people actually think at the time these guys wouldn't go on to do much outside of that?

More like foresight. It was obvious that it was supposed to be used to push Barrett. Like Liggins said, he's been proven to be a very boring fella (no sheam) so it wasn't MUCH of a loss.



As for the thread topic, there's only 2 options that can compete Ryder and HHH/Nash/Punk...


In Ryder's case, HE DID ALL THE fukkING WORK. All they had to do was give him a quick segment weekly, give him a nice little win streak and let him cook. He wasn't going to replace Cena, but he was over and all they had to do was milk it. Dude was selling merchandise and getting huge reactions for a short second. :mindblown: @ not capitalizing on that. You push a guy like Miz for years hoping he will get some crowd reaction like Ryder was getting.

In Punk's case, you had the next Austin 3:16 moment right there on the stage. No, he wasn't going to be the next Austin (once in a lifetime) but he had a lane to do something major. All they had to do was let it marinate and not fukk it up. Not only could this have made for some good TV and a great summer, but they fukked off the opportunity to get a legitimate replacement for Cena. I know it's cliche, but Cena could have turned heel and had a fresh start. It truly could have been the start of a new era. Instead, we got Kevin fukking Nash (who wasn't that great 10 years ago) and HHH (the guy who is MUCH better behind the scenes than he is in front of the camera at this stage in his career) getting put in the mix. The worst part is that Nash/HHH could have easily been done without Punk involved.

My heart wants to say Ryder because they used his whole movement to shyt on him. They essentially proved that you can't go out and get yourself over and expect to get rewarded. On the other hand, my mind says Punk because it's the only option that would have gotten away from the :smugcena: era while taking the company in a new direction...

It blows my mind how everyone forgets how over Nexus was, and even more so how shook the roster was of them and how they destroyed everyone starting with their first debut. :whoa: EXCEPT CENA who just had to go over. There is no excuse for not running with Barrett then. He could've held the belt for a month. and the payoff with cena getting the belt back would've been great business

whats crazy is that as bad as we talk about hogan...dude dropped the belt for an entire calendar year to get savage over and did so, and built savage as the #1 heel when he got his revenge at mania V which is possibly their best main event ever or tier zero because of it. Not cena though. Unless it went to batista or punk who (GUESS WHAT) he's gonna get his revenge-

-oh snap

i just realized...the only reason the main event is gonna be a triple threat at mania is so Cena can get his wins back against rock and punk at the same time. :mindblown: :heh: :dead:
