Ah, Wade Barrett – the ultimate waste of potential within the WWE. This is a man who was handed mediocre storyline after mediocre storyline, and yet whenever this happened he was able to knock it out of the park. He’s got a great look, he can talk, and his style of wrestling is desperately needed in this independent-heavy era.

Before his pro wrestling adventure began, though, Wade was a legitimate bare-knuckle boxing champion. Of course, it’s not exactly something that you’d want to promote or encourage (although that’s exactly what WWE did), but that doesn’t mean we should ignore it.

Barrett is as hard as nails, and we have no doubt in our minds that he’ll continue to prove that.
