WWE SummerSlam 2010 | WORST Wrestling Shows Ever

In hindsight, Daniel Bryan getting fired after the Nexus assault may have been the best thing to happen him 😆

[@joey420chronic]

The comment about Jericho looking like a dehydrated mango with Vince Neil's hair 😂😂

[@hib6076]

Hot take: The Nexus were never going to be as big as people think. When the Shield debuted it was clear that they each had their own role and personality. The Nexus just felt like they were the same. And besides Barrett and Bryan, none of them were really stars. I mean, come on, was anyone expecting Heath Slater or David Otunga to be world champion?

I was there for this PPV. It was the first ppv i saw live and I loved it then, since all I cared about was Big Match John. Watching it now it's one of the worst Summerslams I've ever seen, but I do have a bit of a soft spot for it since it was the first PPV i saw in person

[@ryanjaco400]

Still waiting for super showdown 2020. It’s actually infuriating to think back on Goldberg beats fiend and Brock buries ricochet. Both of those world title match runtimes together didn’t even make 5 minutes. Unacceptable no matter what show it’s on

SummerSlam 2010 wasn't a horrible show because John Cena went over The Nexus.. it was a horrible show because they marketed their main event around 7 guys in a group who were NOT ready for that kind of exposure and who had done nothing to deserve that spotlight

[@caseymike]

This was the first pay-per-view build I ever followed WWE for, and I thought it was sooooo cool at the time! Only years later did I realize how damaging the show (particularly the main event) was.

[@TheRealAhoy]

"The damage" is a myth. The actual story was The Nexus got over far more than it was ever expected to, but even so, it was still a bunch of generic looking jobbers with generic names. Having "Team wwe" lose to a bunch of bland jobbers would have actually done way more damage.

[@jdiegoskinny]

ngl melina and alicia were pretty good for their era. the post-match attack from Laycool saved the segment tbh

[@JLWprime10]

Cena winning made summerslam 2010 Memorable and awesome

[@billybeeeeeeeeee]

The Nexus weren't good enough to get the win. The best member of the OG Nexus was on Team WWE that night. Barrett was never interesting in Nexus, Gabriel would never be anything more than a decent flyer, Slater was a jobber from the start, they actually tried with Ryback for a bit, Otunga was HOT GARBAGE, Tarver was never going to do anything ever. Darren Young died in the tag division for a reason. None of them had anything worthwhile. Cena could've still lost and the Nexus wouldn't have been anything anyway.

[@MarkieDood]

Well it's not Barrett's fault that he was never booked to do anything interesting, but he was always a great talker and a fine in-ring worker, by early-2010s WWE standards. But yeah, when a young Heath Slater is the second-best member of the team, I -- to an extent -- understand the argument that maybe that team shouldn't be going over in the main event of one of the biggest shows of the year.

[@TheRealAhoy]

People act like something terrible happened. Something potentially terrible was averted ha. The guy below you chiming in with "bad booking" tropes. Good booking wouldn't have saved them... None of them ever got higher than they were here, they were actually pushed just by being in a main event of a major show and none of them ever went on from there to do anything better, except for Ryback. People are one dimensional about booking. They think it should always be "make new stars". But the majority of the time it's not make new stars, it's to give more equity to your current stars. If wwe put money in to Cena, they are putting money in to a commodity that will definitely pay off. If they put money in to Darren Young... They are putting money in to a guy who flops in a singles run while being seconded by Bob Backlund. These guys are given auditions, and they don't build on them. Cena delivers consistently. He used to get to shows early and walk around the arena sitting in empty seats just so he could grasp what the person sitting in that seat would be looking at when they looked at the ring. We don't see it that much on tv, but when Cena is doing a promo or in a match or looking at the crowd, he is actually interacting with people in seats, they actually interact with him! Cena is actually winking to random people in the audience making them feel like a part of his performance. That kind of outside-of-the-box thinking is why he was given the ball.

2010 is where Vince McMahon started to lose suck at booking. The constant booking with Brock Lesnar to be the main event of over and over again and him just starting to be out of touch with professional wrestling itself.

[@oddishhonor]

His hero

[@MarkieDood]

It’s a complicated issue, really, because on one hand it is obviously of the utmost importance to build up fresh young stars, but on the other hand you can argue that a lot of those guys really had no business being in that position. Like if you look at the seven members of Team Nexus on that night, realistically less than half of them had the potential to eventually develop into respectable singles stars. Do we really want to live in a timeline where the likes of David Otunga and Michael Tarver can say they’ve won a SummerSlam main event?

[@TheRealAhoy]

Yeah, while everybody always gets together to lament bad booking, I try and understand it. I'd have to say Vince made the right call, Cena remained a full time main eventer until 2017 and has gone on to success in film and tv, which in turn makes wwe more connected in industries. Cena was so well built up he has equity that helps his association with them transcend regular in-ring issues. The most successful Nexus person was Ryback, whose career basically ended in 2016, has exposed himself as a massive diva and who had a 'peak' of under 6 months. Eventually, it's not the booking that makes the star, it's the person that makes the star. Considering his career started long after Cena's began and ended before Cena stopped as a full timer, and he was by far the most successful out of his team, they hit a home run. If you're gonna be a big name you're gonna get over unfavourable booking and come through it. Cena was by far the best investment option, and "team wwe" losing to a group of genetic looking jobbers would have been a massive blow. They weren't gonna be like the NWO were to the business lol. Unless Cena joined them! That would have given them momentum.

[@MarkieDood]

​@@TheRealAhoy Tbf the most successful Nexus guy was Wade Barrett, and the second-most successful Nexus guy was Heath Slater. Ryback was briefly pushed strongly (if losing in the main event of two PPVs is what counts as a strong push in early-2010s WWE), but it's not as if he ever really accomplished much of anything.

[@optimus2008]

DONT YOU DARE INSULT ARGYLLE, FRASER! The Straight Edge Society are the unsung burial of SummerSlam 2010. They could've recovered the Nexus's momentum even after this event if they had just booked them properly after Barrett beat Cena clean at Hell in a Cell. I love the concept, hated most of the members.

[@TheRealAhoy]

Maybe the Nexus getting over like it did was a fluke and he decided not to put more investment in to pushing the 2010 equivalent of the Hawk Tuah girl?

Think me and others will disagree about this. They could have had 7 stars. Instead, Cena's ego got in the way. Also, Cena himself even regrets doing this.

[@TheRealAhoy]

@@anthonylshearman6122 If the other 7 guys were to become stars they would not have been stopped from doing so by losing a main event match of a major ppv, it would have actually been a step in the right direction. Austin lost to Bret, twice, lost to Undertaker before he became a star. The reason he lost then was because instead of being sure Austin was going to be the guy he did, they decided to put extra investment in to current stars they were sure would still be around as marquee name value. That's why established guys win, they have current marquee name value that it's not quite a given that people who have less name value will ever achieve. It was the right call, because the nexus guys never went on to do anything close of note, except Ryback who was presented under a different gimmick entirely. If one loss hurt them, then they were no-hopers.
