6 WWE Superstar tattoos with a backstory

#2 Wade Barrett inks up for his favorite band

Barrett got high praise for the tattoo from his favorite band

It doesn’t matter if you won season 1 of NXT, and are a multiple time champion, when your favorite band contacts you, you’re bound to geek out.

This was just the case with Wade Barrett, who despite his massive success in the States, remained loyal to his British roots, and sports a bouquet of red roses, the official flower of his home-county of Lancashire.

Surrounding the rose are the words ‘Boredom, Culture, Alienation, and Despair', which may seem like the usual cries of an angsty teen, but any UK indie rock fan worth their salt will recognise them as the lyrics to Little Baby Nothing by Manic Street Preachers.

Although MSP never really made it big in the US, they were massively popular in England, where both Barrett and the band hail from.

In fact, Barrett was even contacted by guitarist James Dean Bradfield, who offered the superstar his services for the former WWE star’s theme song, to which Barrett could only respond that his mind was blown, in a tweet.
