Hopefully his elbow isn't a new permanent finisher. Barrett will probably still use the Wasteland along with this move.

Re: What was that "finisher" ?
A "shitty little elbow"?! An elbow to the face will knock you the fuck out. It's a far more legitimate move than half of the finishers on the roster.

Re: Bare Knuckle Champion
So I guess every time Big Show punches somebody, if the wrestler's head isn't partly caved in, it ruins the illusion?

Re: Bare Knuckle Champion
A bare knuckle figher does not have more punching power or skill than a boxer or Muay Thai fighter. They simply... don't wear gloves. It's kind of in the name. Just because he has that background (which he actually does apparently) doesn't mean he would dominate everyone simply because he doesn't protect his hands.
Secondly it is a relief to have gimmicks like this in the PG era. Seriously... you're fucking complaining about a brutal gimmick?

Re: Bare Knuckle Champion
I can see why they've used it, as he has been involved in bare knuckle matches in the North West, they still go on pretty heavily across quarters of England and Europe if you know where to go, but the fact they just had him return into a squash match was poor, a PPV run in and screw job straight into a feud would have been better.
And he wouldn't be able to knock out ppl with one spark every time, its more the fact he can take the punishment, rather than dish it out. bigger guys than barrett can't knock a guy out with one punch, you have a nice "one-punch mickey" take on boxing/fighting.

Did Wade Barrett even deliver one move in this match? I guess because he's a former bareknuckle boxer, he has to take all the wrestling moves out of his moveset to get it over? That's ridiculous. On top of that, his finisher shat all over any potential Kassius Ohno push as "The KO King".
One more thing, the beard just does not look right. My ideal Wade Barrett return would have him wrestling in the beard and jeans, like The British Bulldog did. Atleast he would stand out from the pack. The tights are atleast better than those turd-green colors he was repping pre-injury.
I had big hopes for a Wade Barrett return, but it doesn't look all that good at the moment.

Re: Wade Barrett Discussion
Hopefully Wade Barrett doesn't win any title cause the WWE will become boring. It's boring enough with CM Punk being champion.
