He's not a master of the mic by any means but he's fucking stellar at everything else. He's very close to a prototypical sports entertainment star. Barrett is still unproven. He definitely wins on the "able to lay off the drugs" aspect though.

I'm really not seeing it, man. His moveset is unremarkable with the exception of the fact that a lot of it looks sloppy and weak. And his 'psychology' seems to be "let the other guy wrestle most of the match, then pop up and do a quick 5 moves of doom, sell a little bit more, then do a suprise RKO" in virtually every match. And his voice is slow, robotic, and awkward on the mic.
Barrett actually looks like he's doing damage out there, and is a much better talker. And he also doesn't keep getting busted for drugs.
