That's stupid, many other ways to send the kids happy.. have the Nexus win, and then have John beat them up at the end of the show despite losing the match. Cena beating them both just made them and the entire team look weak. Vince isn't the genius everyone thinks he is when it comes to booking.

Jericho said in his book Undisputed (I’m pretty sure it was Undisputed) that Cena was definitely to blame for Nexus being buried. He ignored the advice of both Edge and Jericho and went to Vince to make sure he went over.
I applaud him for being honest and putting the blame on Vince, where it rightfully belongs.

Only faces with actual personality and character traits who are interesting and entertaining should be cheered. Not the generic "good guy with no personality or character except good guy" Hogan, Cena and Reigns types.
They didn't handle it correctly. Everyone in the Nexus should've went into his office & firmly said they weren't gonna do the match if they weren't going over. The Shield did that multiple times.
Ambrose mentioned one time they were supposed to lose that 6 man tag match early on their careers against Daniel Bryan. Kane. & Ryback at TLC. All three went to Vince & said this isn't happening & held their ground until the finish was changed.
Daniel Bryan was the worst member in Nexus and the first to get kicked out.. He was a joke and never a superstar until the word YES! But in my eyes he's still an overrated joke
I always felt the nexus losing at summer slam killed their momentum. I don’t know why they would think having Cena be the lone survivor was a good thing.
I still think Barrett vs Gabriel would've been a great feud in the year after being right below Cena vs Punk. Justin the perfect face vs Wade the despicable heel as Justin breaks away from Nexus putting them both over
They could have had Gabriel turn on Barrett after he got pinned in the match, then John Cena pins Barrett after Gabriel's turn. It would have made Justin the hero of the moment.
Wally Rosario I don't know about that. Gabriel has come out saying that his promo skills weren't fantastic (he was a decent wrestler). Maybe he would've gotten better. But you're right, Gabriel was clearly the most "face" member of the entire Nexus group. And Barrett's mic skills as a heel were amazing.
Marc Altamura that’s why the company dropped every year Cena was there. You can thank Stephanie McMahon for that. That’s why Vince Russo never came back to be the head writer for the WWE because Vince McMahon gave the reigns to his daughter to be head of writing at the time. Then it became personal not business then she pushed Cena to the moon then the WWE sunk.
Wade Barrett was like one of the last entertaining things the WWE had left! Such a shame how Vince didn't realize the talent he had. Plus, his mic skills were exceptional, especially as a heel!
I think both Edge and Jericho have revealed over the years that it was Cena's idea. Which in his defense, apparently admitted later on that it was the wrong call. So my guess is, Cena went to the boss and McMahon had to give in to to his poster boy at the time.
Rewatching wwe starting from the 2010 segments, cant believe wwe lost barret, the man speaks clearly, easy to understand, sounds really natural, has the looks and the deep manly voice
Stu was the best show I've been to. He was so open about every part of his career and had no problem saying he didn't like things that had happened. He was funny and overall a lovely guy. I'd love to see him back one day when he thinks the time is good
"Vince need kids to be happy". That line is what WWE all about today. Its not about wrestling, or unpredictable and exiting storylines. It is all about chosing one poster boy and turning him into a super hero for kids by giving him to bury every single "bad guy" in the roster. A Big respect for Edge and Jericho for not supporting that kind of bullshit.
granted I stopped watching wwe regularly in 2004, but i remember reading about things here and there. I respect John Cena for his work and his success, but holy fuck...burying the Nexus was such a stupid decision
Seems like a real straight shooter. Tells a story, doesn't bad mouth those involved, just voices his unhappiness with the situation and that's that. I do miss this dude in the WWE universe, he was a great heel.
"SummerSlam NEEDS to have a happy ending!" *2016 ends with Lesnar so brutally beating Randy Orton is was legitimate the most gruesome thing in WWE, probably ever.*
It’s instances like this that really make me appreciate a guy like The Rock... Coming up during the “attitude era” I don’t think I ever remember an instance where The Rock refused to put a guy over due to his ego... Austin and Triple H were a bit different in being hard headed about putting certain guys over but from what I remember The Rock seemed to lose a lot
the rock even pitched the idea to have ziggler cash the mitb on him in wm 29, but first he was to be put over cena, and then have new guy like ziggler steal the show, but the wwe rejected the idea to put super cena over
The Rock is probably one of the most giving top stars there's been. Austin was more protective of his spot, however, I don't think even Dwayne would accept losing to a rookie Brock Lesnar on a random Raw with no build.
If Nexus went over with Barrett clubbing Cena in the back with a distraction from Gabriel. I can only imagine how much that could have catapulted himself to being the WWE Champion at the time.
"The kids have to go home happy." As if every 'kid' was a Cena fan, and every 'kid' didn't like a rebellious faction. Tapping into THAT side of the audience is important too.
@@thegame2834 In Wrestling's Hay day I'm fairly certain there were more kids in nWo shirts and D-X merchandise, and at the time those two factions were definitely heel.
@Misguided Angel Which makes no sense since Cena's gimmick was "generic guy with no personality or character." Basically a real life version of a Create A Wrestler from the games.
@Xehanort10 if you really think John cena has no personality than you don't understand why he packed arenas every single night more times and longer than anybody else in the world
I agree with Wade Barrett the nexus should have won, they needed the win more than John Cena did at the time. It was a big mistake and the leave the kids happy was a lame ass excuse.
Yeah...we no sooner get rid of one glory hound, then we get another one! Who's next up to be a glory hound, Roman Reigns?!? (As if we can't see that coming)!!!
At least Cena beat them with 4 other people unlike Hogan single-handedly destroying the entire Dungeon of Doom one night with a chair. They had about 15 members, most of which were billed as monsters.
The only positive that came out of this, is that the shield saw this and used it as an example to firmly stand their ground in not going down to cena in their first match against him
I recall Edge and Jericho not being happy with that, and I’d swear I saw an interview with Jericho on the subject and he said Cena immediately saw that that was the wrong choice too after the match.
I remember jericho and edge were discussing this on talk is jericho, and they both mentioned that the ending of the match was cena's idea. Both y2j and edge had told him that it was wrong but it is very difficult to overrule what cena wants..they both agreed that cena does indeed indirectly bury talent if he wishes.
Don the problem is that the guy in charge got comfortable as soon as he bought WCW and became afraid to pull the trigger on anything, so he trapped the entire company in a looping cycle for the past almost 20 years and basically fucked over an entire generation of Pro Wrestlers... why would anybody in the locker room want to be competitive or have any pride in their character if they knew that at any moment they could and were most likely going to have the rug pulled out from under them. There is no reason to compete, there is no reason to care. The toxic part is dumbing down the role of the talent to the point of them just being bit actors in a half rate sketch comedy routine. Nobody needs to actually be a pro to work at WWE... all the stuff that made the true pros pros is all sanitized and choreographed... that’s why half of their roster is as green as grass in spring time. The art form as been removed almost completely, except only a handful of guys are allowed a little bit more leeway. As far as AEW goes, they just need some time to iron out some kinks. It still feels too much like a big budget indy show. They give the guys enough freedoms to have pride in their characters but I don’t think they have enough people helping them develop an on screen presentation, opposed to a live audience presentation.
Wasn't it John Cena who made that suggestion? If I remember right Edge and Jericho talked about this on his podcast and thought it was a stupid decision. Then after the match John admitted it was the wrong decision lol. For whatever reason people don't regard negative stories like this when talking about Cena's character (as a person). He does all that charity work but I bet there's a lot more involvement by him on these weird storyline arcs that deflated other people's careers.
@@sjsjsIIIIIIIIIIndndnjdhdhx yes, but there isn't a problem with pointing out how other top wrestlers have done coworkers dirty. John Cena is the only one fans will go out of their way to defend or even discredit negative claims against him. Stating truths shouldn't be met with "well actually".
nichelle harris when the well actually out weighs the truths, it's okay. Youre petty against him prolly becuase he beat your fav curtain jerker, but pretending he's not the GOAT of wrestling is crazy
Well, this is one of many reasons why some of us still not going to forgive Cena for ruining such talents, right now he is trying to have some absolution by putting talents over in his recent matches like AJ Styles, Nakamura and KO, but his entire tenture from 2005 to 2014 will not be easily forgotten, vince apparently lost his freaking touch 10 years ago and needs to step aside immediately.
2005-08 Cena was great. Basically the product was much better. PG Cena was cancer. Just to "make kids happy", they put over already established talents over the ones that needed it. Kids will only get upset, they won't stop watching as long as the "top guy" is there. This is just a stupid excuse that ruined the product. 2015-present Cena is better. Him being less PG is what makes the different.
@@bi9footrealm umaga, bobby lashley, chris jericho, kurt angle, christian, great khali, edge, sheamus, jbl, triple h Those were his rivalries where he won besides sheamus Randy orton rivalry was from mid 2007- late 2009
Raymund Turner I was rewatching an episode of raw that was from last year and he looked healthy now he looks extremely tired and stressed. I would have been retired if I had Vince’s money. I understand he’s a control freak but he’s going to put himself in the ground early if he doesn’t retire
SummerSlam has to end happy huh? 2011 - Heel cashes in MITB and wins 2012 - Heel makes the babyface tap like a bitch 2013 - Heel cashes in MITB and wins 2014 - Heel absolutely kills the babyface (like a bitch) 2015 - Heel taps out, ref doesn't see it, and heel wins after a lowblow Vince is so full of shit.
I thought wade Barrett will be world champion back in 2010 but they never make him champion well he is so underrated WWE wrestler he is so talented and great athlete
Furthering proving Cena buried Nexus and even Jericho and Edge said Cena made the call and they fought with him and gave up because they knew he was the golden boy
AlwaysLookCool729 Actually on the podcast with Edge and Jericho, they say Cena made the call. Watch on youtube "Chris Jericho talks about John Cena burying Nexus"
Legendary Method The point still stands because you're the latest in a long line of people who misinterpret that podcast to fit their narrative. Cena decided, and later regretted, the FINISH he thought of for the match. That being the ddt to floor. The FINISH of the match, is not the RESULT of the match. The result was that Team WWE was going over, and that was management/Vince's decision.
Aaron Schmitz your point doesn’t stand you just want to say dumb shit because the proof is there Barrett,edge,Jericho even Bret Hart said that him going over was really stupid because it completely killed nexus as a whole who were white hot Barrett even said in the video that Vince told him summerslam needs a happy ending
This is exactly why Vince needs to go. No feel for anything in the business anymore! You can tell in his voice that Barrett is extremely pissed off, but he handles it with such class. I couldn't believe that Cena won that match, because he didn't need it. And here we are in 2020 STILL with no mega stars that haven't been shoved down our throats (Reigns, Rollins, etc)
When Cena debuted on 2002-2003 i didn’t think he was going to be a mega star look at him now. Anything is possible. Nexus could’ve been something special.
Yeah it was John Cenas idea to do the ddt and kick out, they tried to convince him, in the end edge through his hands up in the air and gave up. That ended buried them, as they said "Look at Wade Barrett now" th-cam.com/video/fZdSu0IjwGA/w-d-xo.html&lc=z225up3iywq4vdkgk04t1aokgehv2bvhgxorbwwkkr2vbk0h00410.1510747346996698 The finish should have been different, but atleast he admitted he was wrong
I remember being a kid when this match happened 7 years ago and I wanted Nexus to lose so bad. Now I'm older and I realize how bad it was that they lost but it's ironic that when John Cena won I was so happy he defeated them, now i'm like "I miss the nexus".
So vince didn't want the nexus to go over cause it wouldn't have been a happy ending? So whats his excuse for the endings of SummerSlam 2003, SummerSlam 2011, SummerSlam 2012, SummerSlam 2013, SummerSlam 2014, SummerSlam 2016? And better yet, why did he let Reigns retire the undertaker?
WWE dropped the ball constantly with Wade Barrett! 1. The Nexus, led by of course, Wade Barrett, should’ve won at SummerSlam 2010, should’ve won the title from Sheamus at NOC’10 or from Orton eventually, instead of The Miz and should’ve main evented Wrestlemania vs Cena irrespective of the outcome! 2. ‘The underground fight club to reignite the flame’with the beard thing in late 2012, which actually was the place where Wade came from in real life, could’ve been a box office smash, as well! 3. Bad News Barrett gimmick was pure gold as well from the United Kingdom’s finest to date! He had the crowd in the palm of his hands, and the WWE Universe were so engaged to it, that the WWE could’ve turned him face! Whatever was given to Stuart Alexander Bennett aka Wade Barrett, was turned into pure gold by him, he is still a treasure, he should run a stable/faction, The New Nexus, as a manager, at least! If this man was in the attitude era, (where I felt mostly everyone was given a fair shot, with lesser backstage politics) he might have had multiple world championship runs, he could out talk, out perform, anyone from the roster, as a HEEL, the HEEL! One of my favourite superstars ever, to not win a World Championship.
I HATED the nexus when I was younger. Now that I’m older I realize that was there job and they were great at it. As I sit here now the nexus is my favorite group of all time. Just how I hated Paul heyman but now love the guy
Karan Patil actually what happened was that The Shield was booked to lose to Cena, Sheamus, & Ryback. Luckily, Seth convinced one of the refs to change the outcome
I personally didn't think the Nexus beating a bunch of veterans (who were still winning world titles) made much sense .. I'm gonna go with Vince on this one
Wade Barrett would have been a wonderful WWE Champion. He has the look, mic & promo skills& in ring ability. Man a waste on WWE’s part, they missed a star talent
What a way to run a wrestling company,, we want to send the kids home happy?... 😂😂😂. Sod putting over a group that is hot,, prolonging the storyline, making them look super hot and having new stars to challenge the main event,,, nah, we want cena to win again because the kids will cry if he doesnt. Killed them stone dead right there,, and they had 1 final chance to rescue them by barrett winning the title,, what was the excuse for that cena going over? The kids might have bad dreams?.. what a truly pathetic way to book a wrestling storyline. Embarrassing tbh,, no wonder wwe is dead.
NotoriousTorashiro Ryback was gonna be the WWE Champion but backstage heat and hurting wrestlers in the ring is why they scratched the idea. Wade Barrett was world championship material.
@@NotoriousTorashiro That's not the point is it,, they were a group taking over WWE programming they weren't individuals,, they ruled through sheer numbers and working with each other from a common ground and purpose,, strength in numbers was their main weapon. Barrett and Ryback (although he had to change gimmick before getting over) were champion material,, Bray Wyatt was in that group as well. But the whole point of Nexus was they were a group of guys aggrieved by the treatment they received ffs. You don't book a group to do what they did and then just have them lose their first big test you utter melon.
Tha Taurus I guess John Cena needs to go 0-1000 just so you kids can be satisfied because every time he win a match, you all complain saying he's burying talent. But then completely ignore he lost to CM Punk almost every time they fought, he lost to KO at Elimination Chamber when John Cena was United States Champion, dropped the title to Seth Rollins to make Seth a dual champion in WWE. Hell he even lost to Barrett 1 on 1 at Hell in the Cell, you know, the one where he was forced to join Nexus. He put so many people over, but no one remembers any of that. Only when he wins so they can bitch about him burying talent.
do you work at wwe?? NO. You know nothing! Stop assuming things and blaming cena for everything YOU PATHETIC PIECE OF TRASH. GET OVER YOURSELF AND GET YOUR SORRY ASS OUTTA HERE!
Wwe is on decline because Vince lost his edge! Back in the days Stone Cold and The Rock earned what they achieved now Vince thinks he's going to create superstars and look what he achieved, Roman Reigns
People talk about him getting injured, but if The Nexus were still kept strong and relevant, and Barrett was a heel champion, he could still act as the leader of the group and have them doing his dirty work while he recovered, still making TV appearances and all.
They were a great group and potentially could have been for a long time. I don't understand what was the need to put over half the guys in team Cena. Bret had his glory, Edge and Jericho were well established, no clue what to do with Khali etc. Instead, Barrett, Darren Young, Justin Gabriel, Otunga, Slater all got screwed over. Only Ryback managed to become big from there. They had a chance to make many great storylines from there but failed miserably
@@Foxo-Matti12 What are you basing it on? Just because you think sucks, doesn't automatically mean that they deserve to get buried. It's too bad Cena never got buried, given he's done far more burials than an undertaker.
Bray Wayet or whatever was a part of that group to if I'm correct , well if he also kept complaining like you he would have never reach where he is today. Wrestling big guns like Undertaker, Randy Orton etc. Respect is earned at the end of the day.👊👊👊
Barrett was one of my top fav in the nexus he got boring in BNB but as a person he has the charisma to do something in wwe but its a shame they never use him well
Barrett would've made a sick WWE champion as well... just a shame
which Barrett, Wade, Bad News, or King?
Wade but only with his bare knuckle finisher
They did start to push him hard a couple times . Then he would always get injured. Just bad luck for him.
Sting he was on pace to be in the role the miz is. He already had 5 or 6 reigns but they were starting to get longer but he either got hurt or they would mis use bnb
Sick, he not poorly. Kids nowadays
I really miss Bad News Barrett. He had the look, the mic skills, the in ring ability & the crowd loved him whether he was a heel or babyface. Stupid Vince doesn't know how to book matches ever since The Invasion screw up.
BossDon_Arita actually wwe was still great up until the late 2000's but since then it's been downhill
BossDon_Arita I don’t miss BNB, I miss Wade Barrett
He also couldn't stay healthy
BossDon_Arita That's why he is out of touch.
I agree with the look and mic skills, but he never had a great in ring ability and the crowd always hated him.
Anytime Vince see the fans like something, he kills it off.
Been saying that for a while now
Yeah. The control freak is obsessed with only making them like what HE likes.
moe dog AJ Styles has a message for you he said Hold his fucking beer!
I wouldn't go that far. Fans liked Stone Cold and the Rock so he strapped a rocket to their asses. Maybe you mean in the last 10 years.
Hard to believe that a rookie is going to go Vince and bitch about being booked to lose though.
Vince 2010: I need the kids to go happy
Vince 2013: Have Orton cashed-in on the biggest babyface of the company at that time.

Nice thought... would've been nice to see how that scenario would've played out
They could have had Gabriel turn on Barrett after he got pinned in the match, then John Cena pins Barrett after Gabriel's turn. It would have made Justin the hero of the moment.
Wally Rosario I don't know about that. Gabriel has come out saying that his promo skills weren't fantastic (he was a decent wrestler). Maybe he would've gotten better. But you're right, Gabriel was clearly the most "face" member of the entire Nexus group. And Barrett's mic skills as a heel were amazing.
This feud can be triple h vs randy orton v2
When in doubt, Cena ALWAYS goes over. Remember that. ALWAYS.
Cena USED TO GO OVER, now Brock does whatever he wants
Unless he's facing Brock or Roman.
And to be fair, Cena owned up to the Nexus fuck up.
Marc Altamura that’s why the company dropped every year Cena was there. You can thank Stephanie McMahon for that. That’s why Vince Russo never came back to be the head writer for the WWE because Vince McMahon gave the reigns to his daughter to be head of writing at the time. Then it became personal not business then she pushed Cena to the moon then the WWE sunk.
Fred Skuttle non of the above. But Cena did ruined the wrestling industry. Obviously you never lived the attitude era.
Wade mentioning that Vince wanted happy endings, but then let’s Brock Lesner beat Undertakers streak
Brock Lesnar is the only real wrestler who could hv done that
And Daniel Bryan winning the title at the end of the show

Wade Barrett was like one of the last entertaining things the WWE had left! Such a shame how Vince didn't realize the talent he had. Plus, his mic skills were exceptional, especially as a heel!
They can’t push everyone you moron
do u think triple h will bring him back?
He was always injured everytime they give him a big push
I think both Edge and Jericho have revealed over the years that it was Cena's idea. Which in his defense, apparently admitted later on that it was the wrong call. So my guess is, Cena went to the boss and McMahon had to give in to to his poster boy at the time.
Cena gave Vince oral
Exactly
@@TrideepNagg yes he did. Slobbed on his knob. And swallowed every last bit
Even Cena admits now that decision was the wrong one. A phenomenal opportunity to give the Nexus a huge push missed.
They were gonna get buried eventually. Other then Wade barret, Noone had true starpowet
Vince to Wade: I got some bad news for you.
Wade to Vince: That's my line!
"Summerslam needs to have a happy ending."
Didn't realise wrestling was a Disney film Vince.
Rewatching wwe starting from the 2010 segments, cant believe wwe lost barret, the man speaks clearly, easy to understand, sounds really natural, has the looks and the deep manly voice
Stu was the best show I've been to. He was so open about every part of his career and had no problem saying he didn't like things that had happened. He was funny and overall a lovely guy. I'd love to see him back one day when he thinks the time is good
"Vince need kids to be happy".
That line is what WWE all about today. Its not about wrestling, or unpredictable and exiting storylines. It is all about chosing one poster boy and turning him into a super hero for kids by giving him to bury every single "bad guy" in the roster.
A Big respect for Edge and Jericho for not supporting that kind of bullshit.
granted I stopped watching wwe regularly in 2004, but i remember reading about things here and there. I respect John Cena for his work and his success, but holy fuck...burying the Nexus was such a stupid decision
Seems like a real straight shooter. Tells a story, doesn't bad mouth those involved, just voices his unhappiness with the situation and that's that. I do miss this dude in the WWE universe, he was a great heel.
"SummerSlam NEEDS to have a happy ending!"
*2016 ends with Lesnar so brutally beating Randy Orton is was legitimate the most gruesome thing in WWE, probably ever.*
I mean it was a happy ending no one liked roman in 2016
“Summerslam needs to end in a happy ending”
Summerslam 2013: hold my beer
"Can't be more over than John Cena pal..."
Summerslam 2011-16*
It’s instances like this that really make me appreciate a guy like The Rock... Coming up during the “attitude era” I don’t think I ever remember an instance where The Rock refused to put a guy over due to his ego... Austin and Triple H were a bit different in being hard headed about putting certain guys over but from what I remember The Rock seemed to lose a lot
the rock even pitched the idea to have ziggler cash the mitb on him in wm 29, but first he was to be put over cena, and then have new guy like ziggler steal the show, but the wwe rejected the idea to put super cena over
The Rock is probably one of the most giving top stars there's been. Austin was more protective of his spot, however, I don't think even Dwayne would accept losing to a rookie Brock Lesnar on a random Raw with no build.
@@Gaelek13 austin was very difficult
He didn't want to put people over
Buit Michaels and hHH were worse. Went out of their way to damage the rock
@@Mainlyeverything Well at least michaels redeemed himself his second run putting everyone and their mother over.
@@topace403 after he was no longer near the top, he started putting people over. Fair enough
But I was talking about for various years before that
Vince said the exact same thing to CM Punk.
If Nexus went over with Barrett clubbing Cena in the back with a distraction from Gabriel. I can only imagine how much that could have catapulted himself to being the WWE Champion at the time.
💯
Vince: "The Nexus has a good thing going. It'd be a shame if someone where to... BURY THEM."
John Cena: *Grabs Shovel*
"The kids have to go home happy."
As if every 'kid' was a Cena fan, and every 'kid' didn't like a rebellious faction. Tapping into THAT side of the audience is important too.
It was pg and Vince was still catering to kids...This is def believable.
@@thegame2834 In Wrestling's Hay day I'm fairly certain there were more kids in nWo shirts and D-X merchandise, and at the time those two factions were definitely heel.
@Misguided Angel Which makes no sense since Cena's gimmick was "generic guy with no personality or character." Basically a real life version of a Create A Wrestler from the games.
@Xehanort10 if you really think John cena has no personality than you don't understand why he packed arenas every single night more times and longer than anybody else in the world
I agree with Wade Barrett the nexus should have won, they needed the win more than John Cena did at the time. It was a big mistake and the leave the kids happy was a lame ass excuse.
Wade Barrett needs to come back to WWE
Paige he said he will come back when the time is right
No, he doesn't "need' to go back to WWE.
TheTruthNJ09 Whenever the time is right and he does come back, I'd prefer the see him in NXT like Drew McIntyre. It just seems better that way.
Paige why would he *need* it? He doesn't seem to be starving.
GFW. WWE would go back to fucking him over and over again.
Cena's this era's Hogan.
except he doesn't backroom politic, vince made him beat the nexus, cena wanted to put them over.
PP Hyjynx stop lying stupid idiot cena is the shit factor of proffesional wrestling
Yeah...we no sooner get rid of one glory hound, then we get another one! Who's next up to be a glory hound, Roman Reigns?!? (As if we can't see that coming)!!!
Top guy. Charismatic. Moves merchandise. Should be protected and treated as the top star. Yep, he's Hogan alright.
At least Cena beat them with 4 other people unlike Hogan single-handedly destroying the entire Dungeon of Doom one night with a chair. They had about 15 members, most of which were billed as monsters.
The only positive that came out of this, is that the shield saw this and used it as an example to firmly stand their ground in not going down to cena in their first match against him
And that's where I think Wade lost his passion for the business! That did not make sense to me either!.. WWE lost a great worker
obiyonx and many since
I recall Edge and Jericho not being happy with that, and I’d swear I saw an interview with Jericho on the subject and he said Cena immediately saw that that was the wrong choice too after the match.
I remember jericho and edge were discussing this on talk is jericho, and they both mentioned that the ending of the match was cena's idea. Both y2j and edge had told him that it was wrong but it is very difficult to overrule what cena wants..they both agreed that cena does indeed indirectly bury talent if he wishes.
And people wonder why in 2019 WWE doesn’t have any home grown stars.
Toxic over competitive work culture. Hope AEW starts eating away at the pie.
Don I don’t think the work culture is competitive or toxic enough.
Don the problem is that the guy in charge got comfortable as soon as he bought WCW and became afraid to pull the trigger on anything, so he trapped the entire company in a looping cycle for the past almost 20 years and basically fucked over an entire generation of Pro Wrestlers... why would anybody in the locker room want to be competitive or have any pride in their character if they knew that at any moment they could and were most likely going to have the rug pulled out from under them. There is no reason to compete, there is no reason to care. The toxic part is dumbing down the role of the talent to the point of them just being bit actors in a half rate sketch comedy routine. Nobody needs to actually be a pro to work at WWE... all the stuff that made the true pros pros is all sanitized and choreographed... that’s why half of their roster is as green as grass in spring time. The art form as been removed almost completely, except only a handful of guys are allowed a little bit more leeway.
As far as AEW goes, they just need some time to iron out some kinks. It still feels too much like a big budget indy show. They give the guys enough freedoms to have pride in their characters but I don’t think they have enough people helping them develop an on screen presentation, opposed to a live audience presentation.
Wasn't it John Cena who made that suggestion? If I remember right Edge and Jericho talked about this on his podcast and thought it was a stupid decision. Then after the match John admitted it was the wrong decision lol.
For whatever reason people don't regard negative stories like this when talking about Cena's character (as a person). He does all that charity work but I bet there's a lot more involvement by him on these weird storyline arcs that deflated other people's careers.
Yeah then we gotta give him credit for some of the punk stuff he pushed to fued with him
He made mistakes , sure, but so has every major wwe star of all time. He's done so much to make this back
@@sjsjsIIIIIIIIIIndndnjdhdhx yes, but there isn't a problem with pointing out how other top wrestlers have done coworkers dirty. John Cena is the only one fans will go out of their way to defend or even discredit negative claims against him. Stating truths shouldn't be met with "well actually".
nichelle harris when the well actually out weighs the truths, it's okay. Youre petty against him prolly becuase he beat your fav curtain jerker, but pretending he's not the GOAT of wrestling is crazy
Well, this is one of many reasons why some of us still not going to forgive Cena for ruining such talents, right now he is trying to have some absolution by putting talents over in his recent matches like AJ Styles, Nakamura and KO, but his entire tenture from 2005 to 2014 will not be easily forgotten, vince apparently lost his freaking touch 10 years ago and needs to step aside immediately.
HoS0X AJ and Owens still would’ve gotten over. Nakamura needed it
2005-08 Cena was great. Basically the product was much better. PG Cena was cancer. Just to "make kids happy", they put over already established talents over the ones that needed it. Kids will only get upset, they won't stop watching as long as the "top guy" is there. This is just a stupid excuse that ruined the product.
2015-present Cena is better. Him being less PG is what makes the different.
@@bi9footrealm umaga, bobby lashley, chris jericho, kurt angle, christian, great khali, edge, sheamus, jbl, triple h
Those were his rivalries where he won besides sheamus
Randy orton rivalry was from mid 2007- late 2009
Vince should have retire 10 - 15 years ago.
Raymund Turner I was rewatching an episode of raw that was from last year and he looked healthy now he looks extremely tired and stressed. I would have been retired if I had Vince’s money. I understand he’s a control freak but he’s going to put himself in the ground early if he doesn’t retire
La'Cori Netter i hope he does
Yup. He should have taken a year or two off and then gone and done the XFL or another big project and let the rest of the family handle WWE.
@@drinkaprpic 😂💀💀
I could listen to Wade talk all day. He is talented, wouldnt mind seeing him return on NXT now
Just absolutely love this guy. What a talent in the ring. WWE's loss.
Wade Barrett should've been a multiple time champion by now. He had everything to reach that point but they screwed him.
Cena “Hulk Hoganed” The Nexus that day
SummerSlam has to end happy huh?
2011 - Heel cashes in MITB and wins
2012 - Heel makes the babyface tap like a bitch
2013 - Heel cashes in MITB and wins
2014 - Heel absolutely kills the babyface (like a bitch)
2015 - Heel taps out, ref doesn't see it, and heel wins after a lowblow
Vince is so full of shit.
Despite being part of the group for only one night, Daniel Bryan had more success than all the other members combined.
Only Slater is left from the original Nexus. Bryan too if you really want to add him.
Noh Buddy bray Wyatt was part of nexus
@@BigSoulja69 Not the first version. He came up as part of 'New Nexus' under Punk with Mason Ryan and Curtis Axel, then Michael McGuillicutty
Sadly, It wasn't a shock to me. Heaven forbid we have anything but super Cena
winning. 🤦🏻♂️
So we ignoring that he hasn't won in 6 years?
I thought wade Barrett will be world champion back in 2010 but they never make him champion well he is so underrated WWE wrestler he is so talented and great athlete
Furthering proving Cena buried Nexus and even Jericho and Edge said Cena made the call and they fought with him and gave up because they knew he was the golden boy
AlwaysLookCool729 Actually on the podcast with Edge and Jericho, they say Cena made the call. Watch on youtube "Chris Jericho talks about John Cena burying Nexus"
AlwaysLookCool729 Not sure how your point still stands, if the people in that match verbally said what happened?
Legendary Method It's called mental retardation. Just give him a pat on the head and he'll go away.
Legendary Method The point still stands because you're the latest in a long line of people who misinterpret that podcast to fit their narrative. Cena decided, and later regretted, the FINISH he thought of for the match. That being the ddt to floor. The FINISH of the match, is not the RESULT of the match. The result was that Team WWE was going over, and that was management/Vince's decision.
Aaron Schmitz your point doesn’t stand you just want to say dumb shit because the proof is there Barrett,edge,Jericho even Bret Hart said that him going over was really stupid because it completely killed nexus as a whole who were white hot Barrett even said in the video that Vince told him summerslam needs a happy ending
"what REALLY happened" - proceeds to say less than what Jericho and Edge said years ago. Alright then
This is exactly why Vince needs to go. No feel for anything in the business anymore! You can tell in his voice that Barrett is extremely pissed off, but he handles it with such class. I couldn't believe that Cena won that match, because he didn't need it. And here we are in 2020 STILL with no mega stars that haven't been shoved down our throats (Reigns, Rollins, etc)
Another big mistake was wrestle mania 2013. Should have been a triple threat match rock VS Cena vs punk. Absolutely disgraceful
John Cena is the real Undertaker. Now he's gone and WWE don't realize the damage he made by burying so many talented wrestlers like Stu Bennett.
@@shane-irish he's talking about an actually undertaker not the wrestler look up the definition of what an undertaker is
@@zlimeball i know what a undertaker is no need to look it up
@@shane-irish then it was unnecessary to call him a retard then
Shane Canning You clearly didn't because you didn't get what he said.
Shane Cannibg stfu
It was bullshit... Cena never needed that win but for damn sure The Nexus did... then again this is Cena being Cena... #TrueCareerKiller
None of them were ever going to be that big. Fuck 'em.
Remember ambrose's worked shoot promo? "Be happy being the guy who plays john cena on live tv".
Cena needed it
When Cena debuted on 2002-2003 i didn’t think he was going to be a mega star look at him now. Anything is possible. Nexus could’ve been something special.
Cena buried countless people in his prime
And that's a shoot brother
No doubt Cena politicked on him and Vince protected him.
Actually John cena thought it was a stupid decision to have the nexus lose at summerslam
Ugh yeah according to Jericho he did wanna go over on them th-cam.com/video/fZdSu0IjwGA/w-d-xo.html
So Jericho is contradicting himself? :-o
Yeah it was John Cenas idea to do the ddt and kick out, they tried to convince him, in the end edge through his hands up in the air and gave up. That ended buried them, as they said "Look at Wade Barrett now"

The finish should have been different, but atleast he admitted he was wrong
doubt it.. more likely that the merch sales were peaking and WWE wanted to milk that shit for as long as they could
Cena been screwing careers for a long time, really, even back in tna when aj was the man, he never screwed anyone over
The Clarences love & support Inside The Ropes and Wade Barrett!
I remember being a kid when this match happened 7 years ago and I wanted Nexus to lose so bad. Now I'm older and I realize how bad it was that they lost but it's ironic that when John Cena won I was so happy he defeated them, now i'm like "I miss the nexus".
Some years later, The Shield became the thing that The Nexus wanted to be
I miss Wade Barrett.
So vince didn't want the nexus to go over cause it wouldn't have been a happy ending? So whats his excuse for the endings of SummerSlam 2003, SummerSlam 2011, SummerSlam 2012, SummerSlam 2013, SummerSlam 2014, SummerSlam 2016? And better yet, why did he let Reigns retire the undertaker?
pyroassassin dummy, roman was forced because no one was willing to retired undertaker...make a research before blame the wrong person
Turned out to be pathetic matches.. all of them
WWE dropped the ball constantly with Wade Barrett!
1. The Nexus, led by of course, Wade Barrett, should’ve won at SummerSlam 2010, should’ve won the title from Sheamus at NOC’10 or from Orton eventually, instead of The Miz and should’ve main evented Wrestlemania vs Cena irrespective of the outcome!
2. ‘The underground fight club to reignite the flame’with the beard thing in late 2012, which actually was the place where Wade came from in real life, could’ve been a box office smash, as well!
3. Bad News Barrett gimmick was pure gold as well from the United Kingdom’s finest to date!
He had the crowd in the palm of his hands, and the WWE Universe were so engaged to it, that the WWE could’ve turned him face!
Whatever was given to Stuart Alexander Bennett aka Wade Barrett, was turned into pure gold by him, he is still a treasure, he should run a stable/faction, The New Nexus, as a manager, at least!
If this man was in the attitude era, (where I felt mostly everyone was given a fair shot, with lesser backstage politics) he might have had multiple world championship runs, he could out talk, out perform, anyone from the roster, as a HEEL, the HEEL!
One of my favourite superstars ever, to not win a World Championship.
I HATED the nexus when I was younger. Now that I’m older I realize that was there job and they were great at it. As I sit here now the nexus is my favorite group of all time. Just how I hated Paul heyman but now love the guy
Cena - "Doesn't work for me brother"
*>Kids go home happy*
Bring back Nexus
then they made a nexus ripoff call the shield. did exact same thing like them. but since it had rock's cousin, they let that grow.
Karan Patil actually what happened was that The Shield was booked to lose to Cena, Sheamus, & Ryback. Luckily, Seth convinced one of the refs to change the outcome
Karan Patil stfu
I personally didn't think the Nexus beating a bunch of veterans (who were still winning world titles) made much sense .. I'm gonna go with Vince on this one
Because "they haven't been built up as threats so lets not build them up as threats at all" makes much more sense you're right.

Wade Barrett would have been a wonderful WWE Champion. He has the look, mic & promo skills& in ring ability. Man a waste on WWE’s part, they missed a star talent
If he had a that. why didnt he become champion later on?

What a way to run a wrestling company,, we want to send the kids home happy?... 😂😂😂. Sod putting over a group that is hot,, prolonging the storyline, making them look super hot and having new stars to challenge the main event,,, nah, we want cena to win again because the kids will cry if he doesnt. Killed them stone dead right there,, and they had 1 final chance to rescue them by barrett winning the title,, what was the excuse for that cena going over? The kids might have bad dreams?.. what a truly pathetic way to book a wrestling storyline. Embarrassing tbh,, no wonder wwe is dead.
No one in the Nexus was ever going to be big, that was your first bad assumption right there...
NotoriousTorashiro Ryback was gonna be the WWE Champion but backstage heat and hurting wrestlers in the ring is why they scratched the idea. Wade Barrett was world championship material.
Vince and Cena can fuck themselves matter of fact fuck each other
@@NotoriousTorashiro That's not the point is it,, they were a group taking over WWE programming they weren't individuals,, they ruled through sheer numbers and working with each other from a common ground and purpose,, strength in numbers was their main weapon. Barrett and Ryback (although he had to change gimmick before getting over) were champion material,, Bray Wyatt was in that group as well. But the whole point of Nexus was they were a group of guys aggrieved by the treatment they received ffs. You don't book a group to do what they did and then just have them lose their first big test you utter melon.
Respect to the shield for not putting up with that shit
I heard Cena and Orton and Vince and triple hhh were like the new cliq during this time !
This video is what made me find this channel.
Lets be honest here nobody complain bout bad booking before Cena showed up its cena fault these guys don't get the push they need
Tha Taurus how many times did Cena put Styles over.....he even lost to Kevin Owens in their first match....
Tha Taurus what do you think the Hogan era was?
Someone doesn't remember Triple H during the awful period of him ruling Raw
Tha Taurus I guess John Cena needs to go 0-1000 just so you kids can be satisfied because every time he win a match, you all complain saying he's burying talent. But then completely ignore he lost to CM Punk almost every time they fought, he lost to KO at Elimination Chamber when John Cena was United States Champion, dropped the title to Seth Rollins to make Seth a dual champion in WWE.
Hell he even lost to Barrett 1 on 1 at Hell in the Cell, you know, the one where he was forced to join Nexus. He put so many people over, but no one remembers any of that. Only when he wins so they can bitch about him burying talent.
do you work at wwe?? NO. You know nothing! Stop assuming things and blaming cena for everything YOU PATHETIC PIECE OF TRASH. GET OVER YOURSELF AND GET YOUR SORRY ASS OUTTA HERE!
Wwe is on decline because Vince lost his edge! Back in the days Stone Cold and The Rock earned what they achieved now Vince thinks he's going to create superstars and look what he achieved, Roman Reigns
Emanuil Penev Sadly, WWE is now "kid-friendly" so it's watered-down so if you're over 11 years old, this era of wrestling might suck to you.
"Need the kids to go home happy" I Loved the Nexus as a Kid, Especially Wade Barrett, But ok vince.
I'm a John Cena fan but I agree Nexus should have gone over. Cena's SummerSlam history up to that point had a handful of losses anyway.
People talk about him getting injured, but if The Nexus were still kept strong and relevant, and Barrett was a heel champion, he could still act as the leader of the group and have them doing his dirty work while he recovered, still making TV appearances and all.
Nexus needed that win more than Cena.
Edge and Jericho both said it was cenas call and they both told him it was a and idea.
This would be the equivalent of Hogan loosing to the Giant for the WCW World Title right after the NWO was formed.
Completely killed the angel.
And armgeddon 03 imagine if evolution lost every match and there lying on the ramp without any belts
Cena to Barrett, Rusev, Wyatt, and Corbin: I'm going to bury all of you.
Bryan, Lesnar, Punk, Rollins, and Styles: *Uno Reverse*
They were a great group and potentially could have been for a long time. I don't understand what was the need to put over half the guys in team Cena. Bret had his glory, Edge and Jericho were well established, no clue what to do with Khali etc. Instead, Barrett, Darren Young, Justin Gabriel, Otunga, Slater all got screwed over. Only Ryback managed to become big from there. They had a chance to make many great storylines from there but failed miserably
"We need it to be a happy ending" = Cena said he should go over
