Eh, at least he has a gimmick and they haven't completely forgotten about him. I think this gimmick is pretty funny, and hopefully they'll find a way to incorporate it with him in ring. For now, he's pretty entertaining.

I'm a fan of Bad News Barrett and I treasure...absolutely treasure....the idea of his current gimmick leading to a WM match against Y2J...in which Y2J will job, because that's what he does.

Jericho has no ego, and loves to put over new talent.

I am disgusted at how WWE is treating my hometown guy Wade is from my area in England and I want to see him main eventing with the WWE title not doing this shit with ring bells, charity collection and doing this weird bad news barrett gimmick
If he wasn't from your hometown, would you feel the same way?

As little a win over Jericho tends to mean nowadays it would be a huge leap up for Wade.

Kinda reminds me of the Fandango win over Jericho. People said it wouldn't do anything for his career since beating Jericho means nothing anymore, but for a little while you could buy the dude as a wrestler. In this case beating Jericho is the first step to proving Wade isn't a hopeless scrub after all

I don't mind the gimmick they're trying on him, but it's obvious that they don't know what else to do with him. The gimmick he's doing now doesn't seem like something that could transfer well to the ring. I'd like to see him in the ring again at some point since he'd do well in a midcard feud.

Barrett keeps on delivering his bad news with no return to the ring. In February, as Barrett's talking, someone appears on the ramp...

Barrett beats Jericho at Wrestlemania.

Amirite guys?

This is..........PERFECT!

I would love this. It'd be the perfect opportunity for Jericho to make a surprise return to the WWE and defeating Jericho is definitely a step up from losing to The Miz on the pre-show.

Bad News Barrett could work if he was to face someone like Jericho at Wrestlemania, because he needs to be wrestling matches in order for anyone to keep giving 2 shits about him. If not Jericho, I don't see why they can't get Booker T to feud with Barrett because he interrupted Booker's spinaroonie on RAW.
