Can you name someone else who was hotshotted up like this and main-evented one of the Big 4 PPVs who lost their momentum that quickly? All I can think of is Umaga, but there were some other issues at play there obviously.

You do realize with that Orton comparison reason it took so long is cause he couldn't get over right? Barrett don't have that problem. Hell this angle has actually gotten Cena more over. How is that not impressive? Worse comes to worse he'll end up on Smackdown being top heel there, but I' am pretty certain this main is gonna be a world champ one way or another. Plus do not forget that Nexus took out Taker and weeks back they teased there was a real reason why they did that so Barrett seems like he'll be feuding with Taker so this man got big plans ahead of him.
I still don't understand after all the momentum and the massive push he has received, that you don't think Barrett will be a World/WWE champ in his career. He has a well rounded look and he'll only improve in the ring. He has main eventer written all over him. Whether it takes 3 months or 3 years doesn't matter, but he will get there.
And it doesn't matter what it took for Orton to get on top. The fact is after that terrible run in 2004, look where he is now.
Umaga, Sheamus (although he's regaining his momentum).
SHEAMUS WON THE WORLD TITLE. TWICE. Where did you see him losing momentum? What the fuck? Did you think Cena "lost momentum" when they took him out of the main event for three months?
And I'm not exactly a Barrett disciple. I just recognize that WWE clearly has big plans for him.
He had like two segments with Santino which segued into a feud with Morrison meant to build JoMo up, and now he's in a #1 contender match for the world title. This is a pointless argument.
Did u just bring up in ring skills as a reason why he won't win the world title? This is WWE that is not what they look for when it comes to the world champion not the main thing anyways. Miz isn't great in the ring he's pretty average but he got a shot because he is pretty good on the mic and has charisma.
Yeah, nobody knew who he was. He only won the Royal Rumble and had is own segment JUST on what brand he was going to choose. He wasn't a big deal or anything. Noo...
