On top of that, his finisher shat all over any potential Kassius Ohno push as "The KO King".
Let's all take a moment to thank Barrett for that. Chris Hero is as bland as white paint.
He faced a total, bottom of the barrel jobber, he's not gonna be busting out many moves in a situation like that, and he had to give some kind of an example that he wasn't the same wrestler as before. Nothing wrong with that. He's gonna be using moves when he faces real wrestlers, duh. The beard looks great too. Far better than the clean look.
Pointless nitpicking. The only bad thing about the debut is that they pulled the videos after 2 weeks and didn't give him a Raw return. It was too low key, but you can't expect anything else when he's a guy Vince has it out for.

they have 7 freaking weeks + NOC til HIAC to have Barrett start something. Not every return has to be dramatic like HHH, Kane, Undertaker, Rock, Austin, & HBK. Orton returned in a worthless match against Slater.
Yes, they have a ton of time, but you don't air vignettes of Barrett making it seem like he is going to make a HUGE impact, then return him in a squash match on the B show.
This was just an awful idea by the creative team... Another missed opportunity.

You gotta be kidding me. I can tell you have never watched Chris Hero in your life.

Shouldn't bring in an MMA influenced gimmick when everyone knows English fighters often lack takedown defense.

I do have one question for anyone who might feel that Dwayne Johnson "owes" the business. Is it just him, or is it anyone who moved on to other things? Should Luna Vachon get heat for running a towing company instead of working on RAW? Should Maven be critiqued on his Home Shopping Network bits instead of wrestling?
Or is it only the ones who go on to highly visible careers in movies that owe something? Why do Johnson (who left after putting people over, doing the traditionally "right thing") and Lesnar (who did not; except for making Eddie a legitimate star) get called sell-outs who "forgot where they came from" when someone who retires to do some regular job get credit (as they should) for moving on and making it without falling into a sea of addiction?
ok im convinced pyros an idiot. if vince is so racist and patriotic, why did edge get all those titles and a H.O.F? why did the rock become one of the goats? trish stratus canadian. bret hart canadian piper a canadian playing a scot. hell even nathon freaking jones got a wrestlemania match. You can argue henry was a thank you but if he wasnt injured he would be main eventing still. I notice your nationality is canadian if you wrestled for the WWE would you think vince is racist if you werent wrestling in the main event after a month?
You gotta be kidding me. I can tell you have never watched Chris Hero in your life.
I've watched plenty, and I mean PLENTY of what I NEED to watch of him. And really, anybody can tell you've never watched anybody you talk about since your views of talent blatantly contradict the rest of the world's.

Meh, was quite an underwhelming return yes but I'm thinking this might hopefully be the calm before the storm. WWE doesn't do 'surprising' that well nowadays anyway, and I think this re-debut was more of a 'welcome back' more than anything, a feeling out process in front of a crowd on one of their main shows. The beard does suit him though, and I dug the theme music (if that was his theme before then I wouldn't know, only started watching regularly again since Wrestlemania). Bit disappointed he kept the same nondescript ring attire though, ho-hum.
I think we should save our opinions for when he appears on Raw.

I think you need to see more. Because the Chris Hero you're talking about, definitely isn't the Chris Hero I've been watching since 2007.

Pyro just can't accept that somebody he loves so much isn't all that great. It's nothing to do with "race" and since when was "English" a race anyway? I mean fucking Sheamus is the World Champion. An Irish guy. It's laughable.
