Corre Values

If nothing else, at least the symbol for Wade Barrett's new stable is better than the generic "N" of his former. Maybe they will sell some shirts now. Smackdown now has a stable consisting of Barrett, Heath Slater, Justin Gabriel, and Ezekiel Jackson. The Corre.

This is good. Nexus definitely got people talking on Raw. Now Barrett gets to lead a branch on Smackdown. CM Punk's version is starting to make me want to change the channel anyway, with or without a Batista clone. Corre allows Barrett to still build his main-event credibility. I strongly believe it is only a matter of time before he is a World Champion. Going down the ladder, Slater and Gabriel should get the tag titles back. The only storyline reason for them losing the titles to Santino and Kozlov was to further Cena making life miserable for Nexus. The tag titles used to be upper-midcard worthy. Now lower-midcarders defend them against lower-midcarders. As for Jackson, I don't really care. He is the muscle in the group. If they want to give him the Intercontinental Championship, fine. Just don't screw Kofi over again after. Kofi either deserves some kind of push up the card or just let him get the attention in the midcard.

And like everyone else, I am looking forward to NeoNexus facing off with Corre. If it all ties in with some kind of swerve in the end, even better.
