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

By Tom Gibbs /

7. He€™s Making The UK Look Good

Barrett comes from Preston, England, and that makes him about as foreign a wrestler as one can get in the world of American Professional Wrestling. The boys overseas have given WWE a ton of great wrestling talent over the years, and Barrett is yet another one of those naturally gifted talents who continues to impress. When the UK Tours start up, it€™s a given that Barrett will be put in the spotlight as his entrance will get one of the loudest reactions of the night. Even if he€™s a despicable heel who resorts to the slimiest measures of earning a victory, the UK won€™t be able to resist cheering one of their own on. Barrett doesn€™t hide the fact that he loves his English roots, and whenever UK residents make their way over to a wrestling event and cheer him on, he shows them just how much he appreciate their support. The Raw after WrestleMania 30 made Barrett look like a hero of the people and it€™s great for a character to receive some much needed, and well deserved, love from the fans. Of course, it€™s a good thing that it doesn€™t happen every week. Barrett is still the kind of guy you wish you could wallop upside the head after all.
