I knew it!!!!!

[aweso_me]

From the news board "-- There was an idea pitched at a creative meeting several weeks ago where someone suggested that they put Zack Ryder in a new faction alongside WWE Tag Team Champions David Otunga and Michael McGillicutty. This all depends on CM Punk's WWE future and whether or not they decide to kill off the Nexus once/if he leaves."

I had said this in a previous post about Zack Ryder. Anybody else thought this or did you just think that Zack Ryder appeared out of nowhere? I said he was going to be the new Nexus leader but it was going to be the Zack Pack.

do anyone else think is completely insane? Zack has the chops to stand out but if he's supposed to lead Nexus then having him say "Woo Woo Woo You Know It" is kind of stupid. he should join up. but if he joins Nexus he has to play with his character and tone the stupidity down a bit. I definitely think Zack has the chops to breathe a little life into Nexus though. he just needs to tone it down a little in the ring because when he's on RAW he's a bit much. his videos are more normalish.

[AWESOme-ME]

I knew it had something to do with him joining Nexus. Idk about him being the leader though

[stevieg1237]

I'd much rather see Hawkins/Ryder dominate the barely surviving tag division than watch him join Z-list Otunga and McGillicutty (who should be on his own anyway), maybe throw in Barreta and make it a trio. That would be great.

[aweso_me]

It might be that Michael and Z list will be playing the straight roles to Zack's more clownish role. This might bring some character development to Michael and Z list. More talk time.

ohhh yeah right. yeah Otunga will look like CLint Eastwood next to Ryder yeah. but as long as they come off good because his goofiness could discredit them all.

[stevieg1237]

If this really is true though then I can kinda see Zack turning on them both like Punk did to the New Breed and go back to being a singles babyface again while the other 2 are possibly released.

[Snair]

Zack ryder doesnt fit in Nexus for me.He'll have to make drastic adjustments to his mic work.

[CMRyder]

Well...It'd be interesting, I'd take it if it gets Ryder on TV more.

[Viper]

Zack Ryder as a faction leader is completely laughable.

[clh2285]

Zack Ryder as a faction leader is completely awesome.
I completely agree :)

[alexrules01]

Zack Ryder, Otunga and MM? Thats one of the weirdest ideas I've ever heard. Judging by the initial post, it kinda gives the idea that it would be a new group, NOT The Nexus.
They should instead make Ryder, Hawkins, Barreta and have Scott Stanford as their manager. Whens the last time the WWE had a face stable? (A proper one, not like Santino/Kozlov/Tamina, The Heart Dynasty probably counts)

[K-Jammin]

Im glad he may be getting a push, but this sounds kinda crazy to me

[Tommy Thunder]

If WWE go through with this I'll be fuming!! Sticking Ryder with the sinking ship that is Nexus would be insane!! Otunga needs to be released, and Henning needs to break out on his own. I want Hawkins and Ryder to take the tag titles from Nexus.

[The Brown One]

I haven't seen Hawkins in God knows how long (I don't get Superstars here anymore, if he's been featured on it). I'd rather see Ryder take on a successful singles career. The kid shits out talent, while Otunga and Mcguilli..fuck it dont. If this storyline goes through, I'll just be happy to see Ryder on Raw, actually COMPETING.

[steveorton]

I think putting Zack in Nexus has to be the worst decision ever, this will be an epic fail, I'm jus sayin...

[Tenzach]

As long as he gets TV time then I really don't mind what he does.

[The KANEROONIE!!!]

I love it how everyone yells "Push Zack Ryder! We don't care how!!!" Then as soon as they come up with a way to, all of a sudden "This is bullshit!!!"

You guys are trying to picture Zack Ryder as a member of Nexus. You're doing it wrong. You have to picture Hennig and Otunga as Broskis. I mean, how can you discredit Otunga? What credit does the man have to take away? And Hennig, he could afford to take care and spike his hair. They don't have to be a comedy stable, they can just be a face stable with Ryder playing an upper midcarder with comedy appeal, Hennig and Otunga as the tag team that hopefully shows some personality, and maybe, just maybe, The Big O as the muscle.

Sorry guys, but they're pushing Ryder for singles competition. It looks like he and Hawkins aren't becoming a tag team again. Accept it.

Yep.If TNA had a faction led by Zach Ryder,we would have never heard the end of it by the 12 year old WWE Addicts,who love John Cen and see nothing wrong with PG.

[Reloval]

Zach Ryder and Juan Cena (after John Cena gets fired at MITB) next Tag Team Champions!

[steveorton]

Zack needs to be on his own or in a tag team with a partner that complements his style, I'm jus sayin...

[S.E. Zero]

You're reading to much into this it was a talk, which most days in the WWE stays that way: A talk.

Ryder is doing fine on his own and competing in a tag team with Hawkins. He doesnt Otunga nor MM as they in turn are going nowhere especially when the Nexus is officially dead when and if in fact Punk leaves in about 2 weeks.

[K-Jammin]

Somebody like The Big O maybe? ;)

[maar13]

I hope they just push him....but keep him away from Otunga, that guy like Black Whole of charisma and Wrestling ability, he can''t even run across the ring properly.

[Russo swerve]

Who said they wilp still b the nexus?

[eboy]

I like the Idea i think Otunga especially complements Zacks Style so that works have EVE, Belles or Rosa as their Divas/Valets give them a Wild Party Attitude

[Automatic]

Why not? If it gets Ryder more over I don't see the problem, but they need to turn face and lose the whole Nexus affiliation.

[steveorton]

@K-Jammin that would be great, I'm jus sayin...

[helmsley]

i think its a good beggining for ryders push, so later he can shine in solo

fan tastic!!!

I completely agree :)

ur an idiot.

[Viper]

zack ryder being a group leader is the weirdest idea since juan cena.

[maar13]

zack ryder being a group leader is the weirdest idea since juan cena.

Come on, tell me you won't LYAO if you see either Otunga or McGullicuty (Hope I spelled it right) Spiking their hair and talking like Ryder, seriously.

Hope not because that damn Otunga is like a Black Whole of charisma and wrestling ability but it will be funny as Hell.

[Juvenile Junkie]

Now imagine the uproar if this was a Vince Russo idea
