Barrett adopts new moniker

[Stopspot]

Wade Barrett says his new nickname is The Prince. Here are a few tweets from last night with a quote from Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince:
"As Intercontinental Champion, I am effectively 'The Prince' of @WWE. Beware the Machiavellian wiles of 'The Prince'."

"Wade Barrett: #ThePrince and heir to the @WWE throne."

""If an injury has to be done to a man, it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared." #ThePrince"

Could honestly work.

Don't like it personally. When I think of a prince the image I get in my head is of a boy. I think the Duke would be better, plus it sounds even more British.

So I see they've dropped the badass street fighter thing. Well, couldn't really get any worse than it was before, let's see if it works.

Oh god, here comes the british hate.

Ehh... Wade doesn't seem too much like "The Prince".

Agreed with Sehnor, Duke would've been better, but we'll see.

Lol Prince smurf. REALLY? Jokes.

Seriously who thinks up Barretts gimmicks they are taking the piss.

 

[CM Punk]

Sounds like Game of Thrones shit.

Barrett just needs to go lead Nexus again or something because this is going to be yet another failed gimmick. You know what would be cool, if Barrett had a gimmick where people hired him to beat up other people, like a mercenary. Barrett would be sort of like a one man APA, that'd be a gimmick that would work well with him and coincide with his current gimmick as a street fighter.
