Nexus:

Michael Tarver says WWE killed the Nexus at SummerSlam 2010:

''We didn't know what the direction was and honestly I don't think that they did either. We all had our own experiences and are smart enough to know it really makes the most sense for us to win and it doesn't hurt them, it actually helps them if we win and continue because then they can keep building. That was the first time in a long time that Cena had real sympathy because people were kind of over him and he's even though he is always going to be over no matter what because he's John Cena but that was the first time in a long time that he had real sympathy. He did his thing and John Cena is great, he's amazing. To me, I think they got greedy. That storyline should have ended at WrestleMania. We should have won, grown stronger added Mason Ryan, added Bray Wyatt (Husky Harris), added Joe Hennig (Curtis Axel) or maybe even add CM Punk and make it a super or even bigger group.''

I have to push him sometimes. (laughs) Come on, man! Get out there, come to this thing with me. Do this, do that. Have this match. But I've been really enjoying it because we've become friends and he's a great, great guy."
