WWE Glasgow Live - 10 Interesting Observations
4. Barrett Insults Scotland, Then Were Saved By An American Patriot
King Barrett came to Glasgow to deliver some bad news. He cut a pretty great promo using local Scottish slang words to describe the crowd, specifically calling us all Pish which got a chuckle from the audience in the Hydro.
Bad News would then go on to declare himself the Local Hero which very briefly, my friend and I thought would bring out Scottish indie star Joe Hendry who brands himself The Local Hero but instead Barrett continued to berate the Glasgow crowd until Jack Swagger came to save the day.
The All American American came out to a mixed reaction in Glasgow. The Scottish crowd didnt seem thrilled that a US Patriot was coming to defend the honour of Scotland from an Englishman. Swagger put his arm across his chest to do his We The People routine and maybe 18% of the audience did it along with him.
They would go on to have a decent match. Barrett is such a great worker which is understandable that youd forget with how often he loses matches. In keeping with tradition, Swagger wrenched in the ankle lock, Barrett tapped and Scotlands honour was saved. Kind of.
