Bad News Barrett could be the funniest gimmick in a lifetime.

[Crayo]

Was speaking to @Rysenberg earlier about this, but how awesome would it be if he would just appear in random backstage/ring segments? Like, the unrealism of not noticing this fat ass podium there would be comedy gold. Can you not imagine some jobbers like Sheamus and Big Show having an argument, and boom this podium appears right beside them backstage where Barrett cuts this bad news promo.

He's so damn good at it too. Barrett, marry me, you sexy beast. We need a smiley of the podium rising with him on it too.

That's what he's been doing on the JBL and Cole show for months leading up to his TV debut (sans podium). Just show up like a ghost to deliver bad news, then disappear into the night.

I'm really bored of BNB now. I'd prefer it if he mocked WWE related issues rather than just talking about a news topic and adding something negative about Americans on the end, which the crowd doesn't care about. Soon someone needs to come out, interrupt him, and challenge him to a match. Pathetic gimmick that will be laughed at in a few years time.

Too big to add, but I love it.

@Crayo: You just like him because he's English.

It's one of the reasons, but not the only reason :smug:

I didn't really think it was all that funny until at the PPV when he got stuck, and he came up with something so witty and on the spot that I laughed pretty hard. It was something like" i've come down to your level." Wish I could remember the quote now, because I sound like i'm just rambling on about nothing.

The thing wouldn't go up, so he just said "I have come down to your level to deliver some bad news to Daniel Bryan fans!" You got the quote right.

If given actual relevant material and backstage segments and not just saying "lololol you gonna die of a heart attack" it could indeed be one of the best gimmicks ever.

He needs to be shooting on vanilla midgets like DZ and DB. Sort of like Batista, only it makes me want to kill myself less.

Bad news barret is alright at best. He annoyed the shit out of me at EC. After every fucking match his music hits and that damn podium appeared. Only funny on occasion.
