It should tell the guys working creative for the WWE something that guys who haven't been in the ring regularly in 20 years are more interesting than the guys they are pushing.
They need to wipe this Nexus stuff off the map or get rid of everyone except Otunga and maybe Husky to go along with Barrett. I think a John Cena heel turn with a "permanent" spot in the Nexus would be pretty damn interesting, too. I mean, if you are going to make it this evil stable, at least put some people that are worth a damn in it.
Hell, I like your idea of the three way war, but a three headed monster of Barrett, Orton and Cena coming out of Survivor Series would be one hell of an angle.
My prediction is that Barrett wins, but The Miz cashes in the Money in the Bank that night and ends up champion. Barret, Cena, Orton and Miz rival for a while. This leads up to a Orton/Cena wrestlemania match.
I'm sure Miz will cash it in, but doubt he wins.That's a more probable storyline. Of course there is no way Cena is fired (again, the money/fan favorite thing) and they have been pushing Miz hinting at cashing it in lately. Actually, that sounds more than probable. That's exactly what will happen. Book it!
That Hulk Hogan heel turn for WCW turned out pretty good for business.
I also wouldn't be surprised to see the return of Triple H at Survivor Series. When he does return, I would prefer to see him as a heel. Maybe help Barrett defeat Orton, setting up Cena/Barrett and Triple H/Orton feud.
