7. Is A Huge Preston North End Fan

Born in Penwortham, Lancashire, Stuart Bennett has made no secret of his affinity towards his beloved Preston North End. Despite moving to Wales at the age of 6, PNE remained in the heart of Bennett and he still keeps up to date with his team even though the majority of his time is spent in the United States or touring the globe. North End currently reside in League 1, the third tier of English football, and you can find the master of the bull hammer at any and every game that he can get to when the WWE comes to the UK. In fact, he even brought several of the Preston North End squad out with him at a Manchester live event during the WWE's recent European tour. In typical Wade Barrett fashion, the former Intercontinental Champion taunted the crowd, proclaiming, "About time the city of Manchester got a look at a real team€€ Of course, any football fan knows that Manchester houses two of the Premiership's best teams in the form of Manchester United and Manchester City, both of whom are two divisions above PNE. Still, nothing like some easy cheap heat to minimalise the guaranteed UK cheers for Barrett.
