Wade Barrett is one of those guys that has been a part of WWE's main roster for over five years now. He was even main eventing PPVs in 2010 with top guys like John Cena and Randy Orton. He's had to deal with some unfortunate injuries, but has been consistently pushed at the Intercontinental Title level for several years. What WWE needs to do more than ever in the near future is really look at everybody on their roster and try to improve the status of some of their guys. Barrett's a fine example of that because he's a guy in his mid-30s that is at a point in his career where WWE has to seriously think about pushing him as a top heel. Why did they have him stop saying his "I'm afraid I've got some bad news" line anyway? That was a great part of his act. It's why he has the name. Then they just stopped doing it. Do they not want characters to get over with the crowd? Come on, WWE. Be smart about it. Post WrestleMania, after he loses the IC Title, WWE needs to make Barrett a top heel. It should be considered a priority.
10. Steve Austin Podcast On WWE Network With The Undertaker
The previous two editions of the Steve Austin podcast with Vince McMahon and Triple H as the guests were huge successes. People want to know who is next and when it might take place. There's one name that should be next: The Undertaker. It would be amazing to see Austin sitting down with The Undertaker for an hour to talk about his career, some behind the scenes stuff we don't know about and of course The Streak ending at WrestleMania. Do it in April or May when there's a bit of a lull after WrestleMania. People might think that it would never happen because they don't want to break character, but think about Austin's talks with Vince and Hunter. They were talking about behind the scenes stuff openly. If they were to do something like this, hype it up as the first time people will have ever heard Undertaker talk about his career this way and put it on after Raw then they would probably do record viewers for a non-PPV style broadcast on WWE Network. They could even do something like to announce Undertaker wrestling at WrestleMania 32 next year and him saying it's his last match. That's how you generate huge headlines on WWE Network.
