Imagine Bad News Barrett and Neville as a duo!

Wade Barrett revealed during an interview with the Gorilla Position podcast in August 2016 that he was constantly pitching storyline ideas during his final two years with the company.

Barrett was a big fan of The British Bulldogs when he was younger and he wanted to replicate part of their memorable act by having him and Neville walk to the ring with an English Whippet dog.

Sadly, as the five-time Intercontinental champion recalled, "they turned it down and put me in a Toys ‘R’ Us plastic crown and made me lose to R-Truth every night!".
