The Return of Wade Barrett
It's about time.
I felt he deserves his own thread dedicated to anything and everything Barrett related. I look forward to him coming back and interacting with everyone, and hopefully they will send him to the top of the foodchain. |

Barrett looked sexy as fuck in his little video on Raw this week. I wouldn't be surprised to see him reappear at the SummerSlam PPV.

On Monday's RAW, WWE aired a promo hyping the return of former Nexus leader Wade Barrett, who has been out of action since February due to injury. The promo, which showed a bearded Barrett unleashing havoc at a fight club, will air on WWE television through SummerSlam.
Barrett returned to action in a dark match prior to Tuesday's SmackDown tapings from Houston, Texas and is currently overseas with the SmackDown brand for its weekend tour of Asia. He is expected to return to action after SummerSlam. Originally, there was talk of Barrett returning at WWE's Money in the Bank pay-per-view and winning a title contract, to be cashed in at SummerSlam. Those plans were decided against, however sources indicate Barrett is still in line for a run with one of WWE's top titles later this year. Source: f4wonline.com |

So we should expect him to destroy Sheamus in the "main event" at Summerslam. I hope so. I am bored to tears with Del Rio and a Sheamus vs Barrett feud sounds LOVELY. I miss him.

I would not take a load from Giant Bernard or that dancing clown (i'm drunk and forget his name) with that stupid hat. The dinosaur guy.

Wade Barrett is good in the ring but he's kind of boring. I would repackage him as a soccer hooligan and he can recruit a bunch of tubby bald English fucks into his stable and they beat up people for no reason and talk in horrible slang. Then Sheamus can be like I'm Irish and he can recruit pro Ira stable and they can have sectarian violence in The WWE. Then they hire Bono to negotiate peace. Epic.

Then again, they could have the whole "fight club" vignettes for a couple weeks, then when Wade actually comes back, he comes down to the ring doing the Alex Wright dance flanked by two more dancing valets and immediately feuds with King Hippo over who "got served". Winner gets all the girls. Also, it was hard for me to keep reading past "bearded Barrett" in the initial post. That in and of itself sounds badass. No where near as badass as Mike Knox's chin-stache, which was so epic it changed my opinion on him as a worker! "Bearded Barrett" is somewhere between Damien Sandow and whenever Danielson went full mountain man like back when he said he wasn't shaving until he cashed in MitB until 'Mania and that he wasn't going to shave until then instead of playing up the whole goat-face thing and trimming the sides down and looking more like a faun (without the pan flute and harem of women). |

I always thought Barrett was overrated. Not that he's bad but I'm sick of guys wanting every halfway decent wrestler with a decent look to win the world title NOW NOW NOW! Standards for a world champion have gotten insanely low.
That being said, that video for his return was REALLY well done and I like the idea of him having a "no nonsense" English badass fighter kinda like Regal had but on a higher level on the card would be pretty awesome for him. It would really separate him from the other generic younger heels the internet jizzes about way too much. |

I like Wade Barrett. He's a fantastic talker and he has the sense to position himself in a way where he sees himself as the hero of his own story. I actually think Barrett would make a bad-ass babyface down the line, although the card is heaps stacked with faces right now.
I'd definitely go with different theme music for the man, however. Even something instrumental and dark. Something with a creepy piano intro that then gets really grizzly. Give him dark lighting for his entrances and such. Let him shake his opponent's hand before absolutely destroying them. He holds no malice towards them -- it's just the code Barrett operates by. I think his finishing move could use some tweaking, too. I understand moving away from The Wasteland, but I think The Winds of Change is a bit weak, too. How about a Pump Handle Ace Crusher, or something like that? Or even a Pump Handle Wasteland? He doesn't need anything too flashy, but I think Barrett suits the sort of finisher that requires that short set-up after he's beaten the living piss out of his opponent. Something powerful, but elaborate. Even something like an Implant DDT, which is a finisher that I think should really be used by someone. |

I have to agree with Noid (as always) that Barrett has been using two massively unimpressive finishers and something better could easily be found.
I agree that something with a bit of grandeur is needed, Maybe a Dominator used in the way Bobby Lashley did it? or something that 'comes from nowhere like Abyss/Joseph Park's Black Hole Slam? However I did read recently that Barrett has been working a more methodical and deliberate style on the recent Asia tour and if he was to bring this back to TV I'd love to see him utilise a submission finish. Imagine how sexy badass, bearded Barrett would look picking someone apart to 'soften them up' for submission and then snapping a London Dungeon on them. ![]() |
