3) Wade Barrett Would Listen To An Offer For A WWE Return
Wade Barrett was recently interviewed by ComicBookMovie.com. During this, he was asked if a return to WWE was off the table for him.
Barrett says that he would listen if WWE were to offer him a chance to return. It would have to make sense from a business standpoint though:
When I left there, I was of the opinion that I was done with working there. I was pretty angry with a couple of people from when I was working there and when I left, a couple of people in management. I think time is a great healer, shall we say, and I certainly don’t have much anger left in me in regards to that now. Similarly, I don’t feel like I have an automatic affiliation with the company itself or the people who work there. It’s not like I have any ingrained loyalty where I have to jump the second they call me, for example. If there were to be an offer, I would approach it as a normal business decision if it was an offer from AEW or Ring or Honor or New Japan, or anything like that. It’s simply a business decision: is it worth it, do I like the offer, do I like the pitch, do I believe what I’m being pitched is actually going to happen? That’s another big one. I would approach anything that came my way, the same I would from any other company to be honest with you.
My Take:
- I always thought that the Bad News Barrett gimmick was money and I was always a fan of him. I would like to see him return and receive a proper push.
