Really into Wade Barrett's new gimmick
I was kinda meh was he came back, but I really like what they are doing with Barrett. I love his new finisher. Ryder sold that like he got shot.
Hopefully this goes somewhere. |

His finisher is new, his gimmick is not. He's simply continuing the Barrett Barrage where he left off before his injury.

The gimmick is definitely tweaked. He's got more character to him now. He wasn't this much of a badass fighter type before the injury.
And those fight club promo videos before he returned did wonders for him. WWE has lacked characters with depth so badly. Everyone's generic. Cody had a good thing going with the "disfigured" thing but now he's generic heel #317. I was completely bored with Barrett already but the fact that they gave his character some depth actually has me interested too. |

Of course his gimmick has changed he's more gritty than ever he's not about the paycheque anymore it's about kicking ass. Never been a fan of brawler style wrestler that is until Wade Barrett came along but I guess it's because he's done the real thing it makes his punches seem more realistic. Plus he's a great on the mic to boot this guy is a future WHC there's no doubt in my mind it's just a matter of time.

Barrett wasn't actually a bare knuckle boxer though.

His music sucks dick and needs to be changed back to End of Days or even We Are One. He should do Wasteland as an alternate finisher.

He needs to use the Black Hole Slam more on smaller opponents and make it look as devastating as Abyss does.....

I would say he would definitely need a new finisher. For example... if he were to go over Big Show..... that would be lame if he finished with a short-arm forearm smash :/
Other than that, I think Barrett will be the next big heel, given enough air time. Give him a couple more weeks, say after HIAC, and start a feud for the IC title, just for starters. |

Honestly? I don't know.
I read somewhere that the boxer thing was all kayfabe but wiki says otherwise. That said, their citations are based on interviews that seem to be littered with kayfabe answers admittedly based on a skim read). |

Wikipedia doesn't lie...

If Barrett's elbow smash doesn't finish the Big Show, he can wow the crowd by getting him up for the wasteland.

I like that Barrett seems more gritty, but I'm not really into this yet. I guess it's because we haven't really seen him feud with anyone yet. That will come in time. Barrett is a good worker and fantastic on the mic -- don't get me wrong -- I'm just not into his current thing just yet.

I'd be into Barrett vs. Jericho at WrestleMania next year. Barrett tries to knock of his old NXT Pro. Have Barrett become IC Champion before WrestleMania and throw that title into the mix. Barrett could beat both his Pro and one of the greatest IC Champions of all-time to validate his reign in one big win.

I like it but would have loved if he kept the jacket with rose since it had an actual meaning from his NXT days as him being the "gentleman" brawler of NXT.
He's still a brawler but now added in the business part to his gimmick with all the product samples he's handed out so far. |
