We're actually at the point where the best heel on the roster can't get pushed. That's wrestling in 2012.
CM Punk is WWE Champion.
And I don't agree that Barrett's being buried, losing to the WHC whether you like him or not is not a burial, I wanna see what happens next. If he just keeps on floating around doing nothing or moves on to a lesser name and a nothing feud then I fear for Barrett, however if he keeps involved in the WHC scene by interfering for the belt, then he's nowhere near being buried yet and a title shot may yet be around the corner. He deserves his shot and I think he'll get it though I agree wholeheartedly that Creative have totally messed up his return.
I can see Barrett interfering at HIAC, Big Show winning but receiving a Brogue Kick for good measure after the bell, Ziggler cashing in and winning and bingo, fatal 4 way for Survivor Series. Who wins that is anyone's guess, Barrett would have a good a chance as anyone.....
^^Now obviously this is what I would like to see and what is possible however not convinced that creative can come up with something like that.......

CM Punk isn't a better heel than Barrett and that's coming from one of the most incessant CM Punk marks on this board, he's my #1 guy in the company. He's a better everything else than Barrett, but not a better heel. Barrett is so heel that there's no successful way to ever turn him face, it's like turning Rey Mysterio heel, it's not going to work at all. He's 100% villain.

It is when you've JUST returned and you haven't faced anyone but jobbers. That flat out tells people "yeah, nothing has changed, he's the same joke as he was before he left". Now his momentum is dead and it's just gonna be one loss after another, just like Tensai or Brodus Clay.

He will get a nothing feud, it's CLEARLY headed in that direction, and even if he were to get a title shot, he's 100% losing, just like the other million title shots he's gotten. Nobody gets that many failed title shots and becomes champion.
Creative deliberately messed up his return, which is exactly my point. If Vince cared about him, he never would've let that happen. It's IMPOSSIBLE.

Yeah, sure he would. You know, being the only guy who's never won the title and especially after a fresh MITB cash in, that puts him at GREAT odds.

LOL @ WWE fucking over Barrett's push once again. Can this company do anything right? I suppose on the bright side, when he finally quits, Kassius Ohno will get to do his gimmick again.
I don't think Barrett will be quitting any time soon. If you follow him on twitter, you'd be able to see he's very finincially driven, and seems pretty happy with his place in the company, which is a shame, he should aim higher.
Who gives a shit about Chris Hero? Fuck him, he's nowhere near the league of Wade Barrett.

Surely Vince would see the matches between him and Sheamus were really good though and something good must happen.
Look at who the #1 contenders to the world titles are and honestly tell me with a straight face he gives a shit about how good the matches are.
And what exactly does "something good" mean? A feud? It's not good unless Barrett wins the title, it's a waste otherwise, and the odds of that happening with this guy in charge is nil.

Just keep him away from a Face Orton or Ryback (like him but he will be booked to embarrass Barrett). Last thing he needs is to deal with those two guys.
I don't think losing to Sheamus means he buried. After HIAC is when we will see what they really do with Barrett, if its still squash matches on Superstars/SD/Raw than I don't what else to say, but screw WWE
Three great matches against the World Heavyweight Champion and people are saying Barrett got buried. Don't be surprised if he main events Survivor Series.

I hope so. I don't have a problem with him losing to the World champ Sheamus now, if it means he will the gold later. They need to make them have a proper feud. It should be for WM, but I guess they want Sheamus vs Punk/Orton.
