10 Wrestlers WWE Has Wasted Since Last Year's WrestleMania

4. King Barrett

The poor management of King Barrett over the past 12 months is best highlighted by the fact that Barrett will not be signing on with the company after his contract runs out. It comes as no shock that Barrett has set his sights on leaving in mid-2016 when looking back on what can only be described as the equivalent of character assassination since his return from injury in late 2014. Barrett has not only been reduced to a minor role in the European J.O.B Squad, aka The League of Nations, in the past year but been made to inexplicably change his entire character, winning the 2015 King of the Ring tournament and adopting a tired, unoriginal gimmick that no longer belongs in professional wrestling. Despite being a fantastic in-ring worker and a believable big man, who was expected to carry on from his pre-injury push, WWE's poor booking and mismanagement of the King Barrett character will result in the company losing another talented performer.

Overly-opinionated Australian WWE smark who is definitely not #booty. Slowly angering the IWC one article at a time. We will probably strongly dislike each other - let's be friends! @MattKMarsden
