The crowd reaction to Barrett was medicore at times, he got a few "You suck!" chants but nothing big. Then it was time for Cena and what happened ... he wore no Nexus gear! Damn you, CeNexus! A Nexus armband an that's it - what shit is WWE trying to pull here? Argh, that really pisses me off! Cena looks like a big, lost child by the way, his too big shirt and jean shorts don't help in the matter either. It's the best acting I've seen from John Cena in a long time, though.
That's what I wanted to see ... and what I got to see. Disappointing.
When Cena had to team up with Tarver it was clear that he wouldn't help him win the match, but he again showed a nice defiant behavior that even had me grin a little at times. After Tarvers did the job he acted somewhat heelish with the way he beat him down. There was one spot where the camera was pointed so that you couldn't see his eyes. It gave him that certain "Viper look" - listen to the voices John!
The GMs decision that Cena has to obey Barrett was necssary because otherwise he would've destroyed them in two or three weeks.
I skipped the Divas match and the Legendary plus Jackass 3D advertisement in favor of some food and was back in time for the interview with John Cena (should've skipped that one too, but whatever). Josh Matthews had a point though when he said, "You are either Nexus or ... you're fired."
Daniel Bryan can sell a beating, we already know that, but was that beat down from Sheamus really necessary? ...of course it wasn't. There are enough jobbers out there who could've done the job.
"And Michael Cole, you have been the personification of stupidity since 1997." that was clearly the line of the day. That's why you have to love Edge. And because of, "Why am I arguing with a computer? We’ve gone from Stone Cold Stunning Mr. McMahon on Raw to Edge arguing with a computer!" of course. It's the same as Jericho's classic "Of course you have an e-mail!" "Just shut up and read it!". I already miss the man.
The segment with the Miz, Alex Riley and Edge was about the most entertaining part of the evening. Edge owned Miz (and Riley), by the way - "But he is awesome ... at tapping out to Daniel Bryan."
Afterwards Miz dragged Riley out of the arena like he was his baby - and suddenly Edge's reference wasn't that far-fetched anymore.
I skipped about another seven minutes of Divas and Ted/Maryse/Knoxville highschool storyline, but was right back for the piece with them and Goldust. It was mildly entertaining at least. Okay, the thing with the belt was hilarious. Give it to Goldust, the guy may be a freak, but he is a freak who can be funny.
Cena coming out with Nexus for the Battle Royal gave the whole thing a nice touch. He played his role well when he stood guard dog for Barrett during the whole match and walked out for him at the end.
All in all it was an okay show. They actually got me interested in the CeNexus storyline (if only because of the possibility of Cena turning heel). Let's see what they make of it next week.
