Hopefully - from a British point of view, anyway - Wade Barrett's recent King of the Ring victory can provide a springboard up to better things. He can talk, he's got a great look, he can go in the ring and he's got a ton of personality. 

The thing that's eluded the Preston-born star though has been his finishing move - in the past anyway, he might have now found the answer with his 'Bull Hammer' elbow.

Barrett certainly made an impact on the WWE roster after winning season one of NXT. He was brought in alongside his former rookie opponents and made a name for himself as the leader of The Nexus. At the time, he tried out 'Wasteland', though the move failed to stick. It lacked the flair a match-ending strike should have.

He shifted on to the 'Winds of Change' later on, though settled on what he's got now at the back end of 2012. It looks as though it's here to stay, and both of the other options now appear as signatures in his move-set.
