10 Reasons Why Bad News Barrett Is Actually Good News For WWE

By Tom Gibbs /

10. He€™s A Legitimate Tough Guy

He€™s not just a €œHacksaw€ Jim Duggan tough guy either. In his earlier years, before the wrestling bug bit him, Barrett (real name Stuart Bennett) was a champion bare-knuckle boxer. That€™s not just something WWE writers made up for the character. Barrett would travel across Europe taking on many challengers with just his bare hands alone. He was able to make a solid living off of fighting people for real. It left him with a damaged nose and a stabbing injury from a time when someone tried to rob him of his prize winnings. Even when he was stabbed, he still managed to walk off with the cash.This guy might just be a professional entertainer at the moment, but you definitely don€™t want him to get his hands on you if he ever wakes up on the wrong side of the bed. Let€™s just hope he keeps that playful smirk on his face.
