1. There is no chance of Wade Barrett getting a shot at the World Title this year. Barrett is little more than a glorified jobber at this point on Smackdown. His current program with Daniel Bryan is little more then a way to further put him over by beating a larger wrestler. Granted, they have a history to play off of. Barrett will not come out on top, because he doesn't come out on top of anything these days. Bryan will submit him when they finally face off, and Barrett will go back to losing random matches on Smackdown every week. This program here is to give Bryan his Nexus firing revenge and give him further credibility in his build to Wrestlemania.
We have to wait and see, don't try to be a smark. Wade Barrett has all the tools to be a upper-midcard wrestler.
2. Simply put, Wade Barrett is not yet a world champion because he doesn't deserve to be one. The man has been given numerous opportunities, such as a feuds with Cena and Orton, and has yet to truly solidify himself as a main event caliber guy. If you can't get over against the two biggest names in WWE today, you never will. I know that will burn a lot of Barrett supporters, but face the facts. How many chances does he have to be given before people accept him for what he is, a midcard wrestler and nothing more. I admit he is a talented, charismatic talker. However, he is just an average wrestler with average skills, who is not over no matter how any of his apologists try to spin it.
Wade Barrett was very over on RAW, the 1# heel on the entire company and saying otherwise will make you look bad, so he had an incredible debut year.
C'mon grab Cena and draft him to SD! make him lose against Ezekiel Jackson and Daniel Bryan, make him doing dark matches on Smackdown oh and give him that crap Wasteland, and there you have the #1 face of the company turned into a glorified jobber.
Do you realize that WWE is fake right? They follow a script and they have to respect the way that they are booked right?
John Cena is an average wrestler and a charismatic talker, still one of the best ever in the WWE.
Batista was a bad wrestler, but a charismatic talker, also part of the best superstars in the 2000's.
That argument that they need to be like Daniel Bryan to be World Champions means zero to me, wrestling ability mean shit if the guy can't talk, look at Kofi Kingston, Evan Bourne, Tyson Kidd, John Morrison, etc... all very good wrestlers none a world champion.
The Miz in the other hand, crappy wrestler, awesome in the mic -> WWE Champion
3. Let's hope Barrett remains a solo act going forward. Booking sabotaged the Nexus angle, I won't dispute that in any way. The Corre was a complete and total failure on every level. Giving him yet another stable would further water down what's left of his character, and possibly lead to him getting pushed even further down the card. He just isn't a guy to be leading a stable. Give him an opportunity to prove himself as a viable singles competitor before having other wrestlers follow him. Why would anyone want to follow a man who is an afterthought on Smackdown, one who loses virtually every match he has? Barrett would be much better suited as an enforcer/lackey to a bigger star.
So he isn't a guy to lead a stable? Did you forget about the Original Nexus? Well, Wade Barrett was the leader and that was clear that Nexus worked for him, and he did have matches against Randy Orton for the WWE Championship, twice thanks to the stable. He is a great leader, I can't see nobody else doing that job... Look at CM Punk being part of the Nexus, that was a crappy leader, he turned the best stable in the WWE to a memory and CM Punk is well... CM PunK!!
The Corre was such a failure that all of the members from the group won a championship right?
Heath Slater & Gabriel- Tag Champs
Zeke and Wade- Intercontinental Champs
In my calculations I think that this accomplishments are very good for a failure.
Justin Gabriel even scored a pinfall victory over Edge. They weren't a failure, I would rather see The Corre than Original Nexus all the way.
Wade Barrett isn't an afterthought, if you are saying that then tell me why is Mark Henry currently having a helluva push? Last time I checked he was jobbing to Barrett and then all of a suddenly he is relevant again.
The same thing can be said about Sheamus, losing against Bourne, Morrison, Henry, heck he even lost against Santino and a better booking and there you have probably the best superstar on SD! and definitely next in line to be world champion.
Yes, make Barrett a lackey for Daniel Bryan and you will see him overshadowing his master everytime they entered in the ring.
You can't put a charismatic guy as an enforcer, that will completely overshadow the main guy.
You really pulled your hate out of your ass, isn't that right?
You failed miserably giving that reasons that don't prove in any way that he is a midcard, in fact you just proved that you didn't knew that wrestling is fake.
