Look at the absolute state of those t-shirts.

CM Punk seized power of Nexus from one Wade Barrett in late-2010, and that forced Barrett to whip up something new. So, he and fellow Nexus member Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel joined forces with Ezekiel Jackson to form The Corre. It was a stunningly rubbish name, and they had some limp merch to go along with it.

The Corre was woeful, and perfectly sums up that 'bad idea on paper, even worse in execution' thought. The group lasted approx six months before being mercy-killed by creative. Admittedly, their implosion did lead to some Intercontinental Title fun between Wade and big Zeke, but nobody should be fooled by that.

Being fair, Barrett leading an offshoot rebel group of ex-Nexus members against Punk's new faction could've worked out differently, but it wasn't to be. The Corre instantly resembled a B-level squad who barely even believed their own nonsense about being superior.
