Loving the new leader of Nexus

Be innteresting to see what they do with Barrett now. Possible feud with Punk??

It's rumoured that they want to turn Barrett face? Not sure how that would work, maybe he backs up Cena after being "backstabbed" by Punk? Team him up with biggest face would probably ultimately get him over easily as a face.

It would kill any credibilty Barrett has for him to stay in Nexus with Punk as the leader.

Over to Smackdown to work as a Heel over there, building to a feud with Undertaker at 'Mania. There is talk of him being a babyface, but with all the heat he's gathered just recently off his feud with Cena, it would be silly to turn him face just yet.

Hate to seem negative all the time lately, but have just realised that there really isn't (IMO) any potential matches featuring guys currently on the roster that I would pay to see for the Wrestlemania PPV. I.e. they've usually been able to build at least one can't-miss match ( HBK v Taker at 2009 & 2010, Flair v HBK 08, Cena v HBK 07, HBK v McMahon 06, etc) but this year I just can't think of one that would really draw my interest. Anyone else feeling the same?

Guess it's to be expected considering they've lost guys like Batista and HBK over the last year, but unfortunately I can see it been this way for 2 or 3 years with Mania - I will watch it out of habit, but I can't see there been that feeling like years ago when you're really looking forward to it and have a strong interest in how the matches go.

What happened? I'm sure Maffew on that popular video sharing channel will (hopefully) have it covered soon.

Apparently falling over the top rope can be so difficult you need to try it 3 times, before being thrown over instead.

its a bit daft though to pull the top rope down when someones ducking their head to run into your chest.

That said, his attempt to cover it was funny.

To be honest Raw was better than it's been in months, and that was down to the matches being given some air time rather then 3 minute promos.

Miz & morrison would have graced any PPV.

Barrett is off to SD. Which makes sense as SD needs someone in the top heel role given Edge has gone face and the only other main event guy over there is Kane
