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

9. That Playful Smirk

Speaking of his face, don€™t you just love it when he smirks? Now that he has a fully grown beard, it just adds emphasis on it. It€™s a smirk he loves to put on in front of the fans, and he knows that people love to hate it. There€™s just something about that kind of smirk that says, €œPlease hit me right here.€ It€™s an arrogance that Barrett pulls off flawlessly. And when he laughs, forget about it; you€™ll want to step into the ring and smack him yourself. When Barrett faces a challenge he believes he can overcome (which is 99% of the time,) he€™ll keep that smirk on his face for as long as possible. It€™s part of his charm, and it€™s part of who he is as a WWE character. It makes his opponent angry, it makes the fans angry, but most importantly it makes us care about what happens to Barrett during the match. People are willing to pay to see that smirk get wiped off his face, and it€™s that same smirk that has made him such a wonderful heel that fans love to hate ever since first seeing him as a part of The Nexus back in 2010.
