Wade Barrett: Book His Return

[Hoss]

As we know, Wade Barrett's return is imminent.

If you were in charge, how would you book him?

Push him hard as a main-eventer right away?

Have him beat jobbers for a couple months first in a slow build?

Or maybe you don't see much in him and you'd just put him in the midcard and leave him there with occasional feuds and storylines.

Should he have his own stable? A tag team partner? A major new gimmick?

Seems like a natural heel, but maybe you'd book him as a face?

What would you do with Wade?

 

[TheGreatShowtime]

Have him beat Shame-Us in his first return match for the WHC

 

[ExodusNirvana]

Sheamus or Miz. Does the E have a Euro tour coming soon? If so Sheamus vs. Barrett.

 

[So UnThotful]

have him run in during the brock/HHH match

 

[Fellatio]

Brutally attack vince

 

[CJ]

On the Summerslam pre-show have Blandy bytch about not being on the card. Says he doesn't care who he faces.
Booker T gives him the cause he knows someone that's itching for a match against a quality opponent.
Blandy gives the
Comes out to the ring.
*new entrance theme hits for the Barrett Barrage that is actually GOOD. The crowd is not seen since Austin's return at Backlast 2000*
Blandy:

Wade proceeds to give him the Fight Club-esque beatdown of a lifetime.
Throws a blunt on Blandy as he leaves the ring.

During Main Event he comes out to prove a further point and demolishes Sheamus after beating Del Rio (assuming this match is still back on. Is it? I don't know)
Dolph Dawg then cashes in his MITB for the victory.
Staredown between the two followed by a nod of approval as Barrett leaves.

Barrett has a few more weeks of vignettes hyping his bare-knuckle boxing past, and returns to face Big Show midway through an episode of RAW without any fan-fair; Show promptly wins with a knockout punch

 

[CM_Burns]

If they give him the title with his current character it will flop hard, they need to do something different with his push besides just win matches if they want him to be a star.

As much as I stan Barrett, this is true. I wouldn't give him the title just yet. I'd pull some sort of stunt or do something to generate buzz. Off the top of my head, have him brutally beat Santino in a match for the US strap. Have him rechristen it as the new Euro strap. Have him legitimately beat some ass for a few weeks before he loses it somehow and starts to seek the WHC.

 

[Black Thunder]

1.come out to shytty theme

2.enter ring

3.wait for opponent

4.mark henry comes out and squashes him

5.next day hand him pink slip

 

[jackswstd]

Give him a new theme and have him politely ask Taker for a roll of tape. He uses said tape for his fists and proceeds to beat the ever loving shyt out of Rey or Sheamus. He subsequently goes about beating up random cats in the lockerroom before getting into a feud with Sheam over the WHC.

 

[WOAHMYGOODNESS]

his new theme:


His return: Summerslam

wht does he do?: Have him decimate Sheamus after beating Del Rio. i'd rather have them keep the del rio doesnt get a title shot angle and have Sheamus opponent be a mystery until SS when Barrett comes out and beats him via technical reason leading to a feud. But since that doesn't happen, have him pretty much murder the retaining sheamus and then have him prepare to leave...have dolph about to cash in but barrett than tosses him in to the barricade and ramp, whoop on his head too...just have him beat up dudes, explaining the WWE isn't as tough as it once was. Barrett was tired of the touting, social media, and all the glamour of wrestling and went back to his roots of straight beating nikkas down. Have him say he was gonna win the world title and bring back toughness, knocking nikkas out for wins with his fight club/barrett barrage knee shyt and have him put over the knee trembler as his finisher in honor of Thrilliam Regal...have him knockout sheamus with a knee to win the belt in three months and voila, he's over as a tweener...then you can decide on whether you want him as a tough, believable face or a menacing heel

 

[thaKEAF]

This PG shyt is so horrible it's hard to get over a serious heel especially a big guy.

 

[Bob Loblaw]

I'd have him go over Ryback in convincing fashion and being the first guy to pin him

 

[Kimo_bud]

After Brock destroys triple, wade runs down and beats Brock senseless. He keeps punching brock in the head with blood on his hands to play up his bare knuckle fighter gimmick. Lesnar is unconscious and in a pool of blood
