Came across the news on another wrestling message board I read, googled it and noticed a few other sites posting it as well.

Misclicked, someone fix the prefix. Probably heading to TNA anyway.

 

[GarbageGoal]

I think he has a degree. Maybe moving on with his life. He gets injured way too much.

 

[reckoning]

He seems to have stalled in WWE, as they haven't really done anything with him since he won KOTR. If he has a good run in Japan or TNA, he could go back in a year or two with a fresh, renewed push that he won't get by staying there now.

Until he runs into....


JEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAHN CEEEEEEEEEEENA!

 

[The Shockmaster]

Should have been World Champion.

 

[bruins309]

Needed to turn face during Bad News gimmick. God forbid they allow for that.

Seems like a bright guy, hope for the best with him. He's right to want out.

Remember when this guy pinned clean Orton at a PPV?

I remember he was supposed to win MitB before Big Show killed him. Such a shame. Guy has a lot of talent.

 

[ColePens]

Could have been a solid top tier heel. Cena absolutely demolished his chances. He never fully recovered. I cannot wait til I hear his perspective on nexus when it's all said and done.

 

[TribalPhoenix]

Brilliant example of a career ruined because of Vince's stupidity. Squashing his Bad News gimmick in favour of this King Barrett nonsense destroyed him. I'm literally inches away from just cancelling the network and being done until Vince either walks away, retires, or dies.

Wish him nothing but the best going forward. Hope he finds a normal life, and that he can make it work with his ex-girlfriend Rachel David... word around the campfire is that his schedule made things overly cumbersome when they seemed really happy together.

 

[TheMistyStranger]

maybe he's seen the revitalization of Galloway and wants in.

 

[Paris in Flames]

He's certainly capable of so much more. Like...a lot more.

Creative and losing matches he shouldn't have hurt him but injuries have killed him.

[AtlantaWhaler]

I don't blame him.

I assume NJ makes a run at him.

...and LOL @ Ryback!

They put a stop to that because he was getting over as a face when he was supposed to be a heel.

 

[BonMorrison]

Barrett would've been a wicked face.

 

[Acallabeth]

One of the few WWE wrestlers that have great mic skills and true charisma. Too bad he's so injury prone.
Will he try an acting career maybe?

 

[LeafSadist]

I wonder if they'll give him a push and try and keep him around, or just let his contract expire.

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

I wonder if they'll give him a push and try and keep him around, or just let his contract expire.

I feel like they've been just letting his contract expire for the last couple years now.

According to Wrestlezone, Orton's Facebook page just posted the Bragging Rights 2010 match between Orton and Barrett with the caption:

“One thing ‪#‎TheViper‬ doesn’t respect: A COWARDâ€

It could be an unfortunate coincidence, but if not, stay classy, WWE...

 

[Reality Check]

Too bad he's so injury prone.

This.

Putting WWE aside for a minute, Barrett always seemed to get hurt. And at always seemingly the wrong time.

That said, he still should have been pushed harder and not treated as a midcard geek. He was saddled with so many crappy storylines and gimmicks as well.

The fact he was able to get this over is tremendous. Leave the memories alone, Wade.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Barrett was one of the few guys to get out from under Cena with the BNB gimmick. He was stupid over with a gimmick that had versatility as both heel and face.

I get injuries didn't do him any favors but he could have and been so much more.

 

[Brodeur]

Seemed like an obvious joke, but I was listening to today's Cheap Heat podcast and snorted when they imagined Barrett walking into Vince's office and saying "I'VE GOT SOME BAD NEWS FOR YOU."
