Yes! As a kid I didn't understand the business as most kids didn't...looking back; Nexus definitely should've gotten over at Summerslam( though I hated Nexus at the time) no faction did or could do what those guys accomplished in such a short amount of time. Wade alone is a top tier talent and should've gotten that major push after winning K.O.T.R

Barrett was one of the absolute biggest balls dropped by wwe in my opinion, he had so much insane potential, with nexus, with bad news Barrett, with so many different things he could’ve been world champion easily if they just invested in him and treated him like a decent mid carder or a top star instead of just a jobber.

@@thegreat1007how can you say that? They booked him as THE guy in nxt season one. The leader of the nexus who attacked the biggest star on their debut. Then the leader of the CORRE. After all 3 failed they have him ANOTHER chance as bad news barrett. to say he was booked awful is not true. He just is not a good talent. He was underwhelming every time. Lacking charisma. Not overly athletic. Physique looks like the son of a chiropractor. If he had that gimmick he would’ve been more over. He was not over back then at all. I remember watching it. Despite that roster being very weak.

Im a fan of Wade Barrett, I always hoped that he win the WWE Championship someday, but the best he got was 5 Intercontinental Championship reigns... Which isnt a bad thing tbh, but to be denied a Number 1 contender shot for the world title since 2010 is rather puzzling. I can understand Barrett's frustrations at having his Bad News character toned down and being crowned King of The Ring 2015. I felt really bad when he was the only League Of Nations member to receive finishers of 3 WWE legends at WrestleMania 32. Glad to see him back in the WWE as a commentator, but i still wish he returned to wrestling someday.

The guy had very good mic skills.

Vince "I refuse to let you get over."

I think he's brilliant. This is what everyone should do if they're basically just filling a seat in some company. If you're just a warm body… Take the option. Walk away.

That's pretty much it. There are wrestlers Vince loved and those he tolerated and no matter what the fans thought, Vince did what Vince wanted. This is something HHH has learnt from, you are not there to do what YOU want, you are there to do what the FANS want. It was same with Bryan Danielson, he was so over with that whole Yes gimmick, and yet Vince wasn't having it, because he wasn't Roman. Same with The Fiend. Vince is clearly smart, but he's not all that wise.

Wade doesn’t get enough credit for getting into the best shape of his life towards the end of his career in WWE.

Vince sabotaged so many talents in the 2010s it should be a crime.

I like Barrett a lot and has so much talent but was booked bad by writers producers and Vince himself. I wish he was still around to wrestle because he would have awesome matches today. Barrett and Nick Aldis would make a great team in and out of the ring too.

One of the victims of the Cena Stone-Wall... Could have had a great career in WWE I think.

Cena burying the Nexus will forever be the biggest mistake of his career.

I seen the potential in Barret. He had huge potential with being a very good heel. I loved his finisher

Barrett was a great example of a guy that got over both in the Nexus and again as Bad News Barrett. Even as King Barrett. And still WWE never used him to his full potential as he easily could've been a world champion. Then they wonder why they can never find the next big star. A huge missed opportunity. Hopefully we get to see one last run as Bad News Barrett before Wade retires. Super smart and talented guy that is phenomenal right now as a commentator on Raw.

I miss this guy! That podium thing was so unique and good…

How he got Bad News Barret over is beyond me. Sure, anyone who is raised in Preston and manages not only to string a complete sentence but make a great career in wrestling is an achievement in itself. This man has known adversity that a should never be known. You dont visit Preston, you survive the trip.

Barret was making Cena look good as a face when he was running as the dominant leader in Nexus. They really ruined his push there. I don't mind Cena going over, but at least build Barret up and make him stronger.

I’m glad he returned as a commentator

I loved Bad News Barrett

Barret had the potential to be the next triple H. His Nexus could have been the next DX. Is league og Nations could have been the next Evolution. He needed a WWE title run and that could have put him on top bracket. He can always be the unamerican villain. But I get it. He was not supposed to be face and he would have sold plenty more.merchsndise as a heal than a baby european face. He and Rusev should have been Top heals to Cena.

He was so over with the Bad news character! sometimes i think VINCE kills a character not out of hate, but just as a testament of your character just to see how much of a company man some people can be, but he has botched so many characters it is VINCE

I really liked Barrett, I hope he's a guest entrant at the rumble

Solid guy. But he was never over.

Barret is part off the commentary right? Correct me if I’m wrong.

Wade Barrett is JACKED

Probably the best talent in history to be booked awfully. He is a world champion kinda guy.

Nexus was an awesome concept and wade was an awesome superstar :(

Good news Barrett

Bad News Barrett was gold.

It was all because of PG Cena and his huge ego. Had The Nexus won in 2010 , he would’ve been taken more serious and could’ve been a legitimate contender for the WWE Championship , but WWE kept booking as a jobber and even when he started to get some momentum and love from the crowd , WWE screwed him up all over again.

I was into that bad news Barrett but they jacked it

so this is why he can relate with LA Knight!

you know whats funny...there was never a point where i didnt not like wade...i thought he was great in everything he did in wwe. just hated they never gave him the wwe championship, should've been a main eventer

Barrett for royal rumble appearance 2024.

He was always on the injured list. Thats why he was never put into long term plans that could have saw him elevated higher than he was.

For Wade, I can agree with him to an extent. What I mean by that is, if they actually had plans for something and stuck with it, I would be fine with it because they actually thought something through. Plus, as he said, it isn't his company. BUT, what I differ with him is that I would be upset that Vince had no idea what he was going to do with, not just me, but for the other people I was working with, which he never did because he is a dumb*ss. Vince never had any real creative direction for anyone because, on a dime, he could change his mind and not tell anyone about it until 20 minutes before showtime. That is a bad boss to me. Not mention what he did in his spare time away from the desk....

And there’s nothing wrong with that. Barrett was underwhelming as a talent, which is really saying something considering how weak that roster was. He had more than enough opportunities. From being emphasized at NXT, Leading the Nexus, then the Corre. After the failure of all 3 of these they should’ve Cut ties and moved on, it’s not a good fit for him. BUT wwe gave him ANOTHER shot with the bad news barrett gimmick which was cringe at worst. Annoying at best. His recent role is by far the best for his skill set.
