6. His Favourite Ever Wrestler Is Davey Boy Smith

In something that comes as no real surprise, Wade Barrett is someone who grew up idolising the British Bulldog, Davey Boy Smith. To many Brits of a certain age, Davey Boy is one of their favourite ever wrestlers - and Barrett is no different. The powerful Bulldog struck a chord with not just his countrymen but with audiences all over the world. And much like those who hold the British Bulldog close to their hearts, Barrett's favourite ever match is Bulldog defeating Bret Hart for the Intercontinental Championship at Summerslam '92; an event that was held at a jam-packed Wembley Stadium and one that is regarded as a personal favourite PPV amongst many wrestling fans. Style-wise Wade Barrett may not be all too similar to Davey Boy Smith, but both superstars have most definitely done their country proud.
