100% should've been. Vince hated the English and was never going to allow an English world champion, though. Always said it, and it always held true. Regal and Barrett should've both won the belt, and I have never, ever bought that BS rumor that Regal was gonna win the title off of winning KOTR. Nothing about that run suggested anything of the sort. He never treated Regal as anything but undercard fodder.
Plus, his quick little involvement with Drew McIntyre awhile back during his feud with Punk was a nice touch. Absolutely love when WWE do little moments like that to remind people how the wrestlers behind the scenes are friends. Like when Big Show was attacking William Regal to get to Sheamus as they had a close friendship too.
When you go back to that time, it’s amazing how they fumbled. Could you imagine if they put the heavyweight title on him around the same time they gave it to Punk, then had them both hold it for a couple years till they were ready to unify the title. Two dudes with multi year long reign as a world champion and then they also have history they could tell with both being former Nexus leaders.
Wade is what Drew McIntyre has turned out to be. Imo, If WWE had the same patience and given Wade (during Bad news run) the push Drew got i think Wade would've succeeded and become a big player in the company..
Wade Barrett was already made. He didn’t need his Bad News run. If all they did was make him a credible opponent to John Cena (like Edge and CM Punk), Barrett could have had a Hall of Fame run.
@ you could really say that about a lot of the decisions Vince made last minute. Still on the topic of mitb imagine he actually went with Aleister Black/Ali instead of Otis/Brock
Wade makes a great point about Money In The Bank. Made me think. Why have they never done a Money In The Bank story, where the holder is a babyface and the Champion is a heel with a faction. Every week, the faction assault the money in the bank holder every week, so stop him cashing in. Which kinda forces them to announce the cash in ahead of time like RVD did. If done right, you'd have an underdog babyface with overwhelming support.
He should have won the briefcase in 2013 instead of Sandow, Cena was champion at the time it would be interesting to see Barrett get revenge on Cena for the Nexus
Sandow never been booked properly as well, always treated as a comic relief instead of an actual intelectual guy, that's not how you build a top heel PG era side effects
wade barrett shouldve been wwe champ damn near 15 years ago. shit is actually ridiculous how underrated this dude is. he had the same aura as a cena or orton. he felt big time.
It's crazy too imagine how such an amazing match between Taker and Hunter, that continues the story of Taker and Shawn for a third year, wasn't the original idea. But when Wade talks about the build up it totally makes sense. Insane.
I don't care what anyone says while criticizing him, I want Barrett back in wrestling again. Just give him an amazing brutual Signature and Brutual Finisher Manuer. Send him as a full-blown heel, redo Nexus, make everyone be strongly booked in matches in incredible storylines, and finally Wade Barrett becomes your NEEEEWWWW WWE CHAMPION!
The funniest part of this to me is that I was looking for T-shirts from my favorite eras of WWE and saw a Corre shirt online and said "Oh yeah I remember that" and bought one. Once I went back and watched some of their matches........
Nexus interfering in the Buried Alive match was pointless if it wasn't going to lead to anything. Vince didn't want Taker to lose clean to Kane for a third match in a row so probably that's why they interfered
What I gathered from this is that even backstage these guys were treated like jobbers at first when they should’ve been trying to make the next generation of wrestlers. I feel so bad for him because he could’ve been a main eventer twice and both times they messed it up. I love drew as a Scot but I’d been happy with wade as a uk WWE champ
That could be one of the biggest "What ifs" in WWE history. What if Wade Barrett won MOTB, as originally planned? Would Barrett have gotten the singles push he needed/deserved? Would Daniel Bryan still reach mega star status and start the "YES" movement?
I'll never understand how this guy wasn't one of the biggest superstars, dude had height, was built, good looking and has a voice of a supervillain. Honestly still cant believe it lol.
Are you forgetting that he was injury prone? That was what curtailed his career. There were many occasions when he got pushed but he'd get injured prematurely.
Wade was actually the only one out of Nexus I wanted to see thrive. I think it was that James Bond persona that I liked. Similar to how I always liked Nigel McGuiness' football punk persona.
God 2010 WWE feels like the stone age, that era was just so painful, up until 2011ish Pipe bomb era, WWE was PAINFUL to watch, or even admit to watching
It's so funny that Money In The Bank 2011 has the feel of being one of those events WWE threw a bone at their hardcore fandom - Punk winning post-pipebomb, Bryan winning MITB, Christian winning the title back from Orton - and all those decisions I'm sure were completely consequential lmao
@@theonlygoodonehere2259 his nexus run they fumbled him with super Cena, but every other time it was on him, I think people are forgetting how often this guy was injured 🤷♂️
@@Josh82420 exactly nexus, but as you can hear from this vid, they were gonna give him the smackdown MITB in 2011, and he was still at a chance to be menacing heel guy, and decided to give to daniel bryan wtf
I like Barrett and I agree he didn’t quite hit the heights he deserved (great commentator now though) but Triple H/UT was where the money was and was a part of the HBK/UT storyline. That was an incredible four year saga.
Sting did go to wwe in 2015 but they messed up his character by having him lose to Triple H at wrestlemania and then he got injured by Rollins when he faced him which he lost too
Literally none of the things people on here didn’t like about Barrett were his fault wwe killed a lot of guys at that time that went to other promotions and became relevant and then wwe brought them back because they realized they messed up I think Barrett is one of those guys who could come back and be a potential star.
Man WWE fumbled the bag so hard with him. He could have been what Gunther is now 10 years ago. If they would have rode the hot hand off the nexus, I think he would have went down as one of the best heel champions ever
Pats infatuation lead to a B plus situation.... Wade had some frustration trying to represent his nation.... we know its WWE's own right to chose... but to Wade that was just SOME BAD NEWS
This is my favorite midcard class so let me vent. Nobody thinks Nexus had star players in it besides Wade but I could tell they were being held back man, Gabriel? Heath as a character? Hell even Ryback was more than just Skip Sheffield. If only the machine was actually put behind these guys man🤧
@@stevehall6951 I personally enjoy V4 and V2 the most, the others are okay but the slowed tempo mix of version 4 is probably the weakest of the bunch imo
I’m gonna admit. Until Wade Barrett said this, I never noticed (or I could have forgot) the corre was two Rs lmao. I thought it was a dumb stable when it was happening so I never even gave them much attention
Daniel Bryan was always the best of the first NXT lot. His story with Miz was the highlight of that show. Even though he was given the nerd character, people were more connected to him than any other of those guys. Wade Barrett was good but he was just another stereotypical heel, there was nothing extra special about him. So I understand WWE going along with Daniel Bryan.
All these Barrett interviews but no one ever brings up how many times End Of Days was redone by different bands and artists. I want to know why! LOL Obviously Vince liked the song. Barrett hated it. But I want to know why it changed so many times.
Love this video love Wade Barrett, not the biggest fan of the drunk fan. Beefcake never "shot up" a subway. He left a bag of drugs on a train while working and caused and Anthrax scare. Glad i googled that, boo misinformation.
he'll make a good producer one day. hes in the position Aldis is right now. If WWE needs they can step back in the ring to sort some gobby wrestler out.
Should Wade Barrett have been a world champion? Let us know in the comments below!
YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!
Yessss!!!!!
100% should've been. Vince hated the English and was never going to allow an English world champion, though. Always said it, and it always held true.

YEET🙌....BOOOOOM, Bull Hammer!!!!!!!
definetly yes, his run as the bad news barrett was so good.
It’s a good thing Wade Barrett didn’t let his bad experiences with WWE ruin his relationship with the company. I like him on Commentary each week.
One of the few that gets it
He's smart, and talented enough that he could smoothly transition from wrestler to commentator.
Plus, his quick little involvement with Drew McIntyre awhile back during his feud with Punk was a nice touch. Absolutely love when WWE do little moments like that to remind people how the wrestlers behind the scenes are friends. Like when Big Show was attacking William Regal to get to Sheamus as they had a close friendship too.
I think he'd be really good with Cole.
That they didn't "let" Nexus change in the locker room is just such a great encapsulation of everything wrong with WWE in the 2000s and 2010s.
I didn’t know the locker room culture was toxic even back in 2010, I though things changed liked in late 2008 when it became PG
@@j86485 pg only for the cameras
It shows how badly Vince and Laurinitus mishandled the roster behind the scenes.
Everything about Vince’s WWE was toxic
@@kdizzle901 Yup, but the braindead morons will defend it for "being tough" cause they have a bad outlet for their trauma.
Wade was horribly misused. What a fumble.
one of the biggest fumbles in last 20 years in wwe
So much wasted potential.
He wasn't misused! He definitely should have been world champ, but misused nope!
He was always hurt
When you go back to that time, it’s amazing how they fumbled. Could you imagine if they put the heavyweight title on him around the same time they gave it to Punk, then had them both hold it for a couple years till they were ready to unify the title. Two dudes with multi year long reign as a world champion and then they also have history they could tell with both being former Nexus leaders.
Who else wants to see Wade Barrett wrestle again?
No one. I worst finisher of all time.
I'd love to see him make a comeback.
Wade Barrett coming back as Nexus dark faction going after CM Punk.
Honestly no jabroni, he's bitter like bret hart
He had no charisma or a single move anyone cared to see
Wade is what Drew McIntyre has turned out to be. Imo, If WWE had the same patience and given Wade (during Bad news run) the push Drew got i think Wade would've succeeded and become a big player in the company..
nah, nexus wade barrett was amazing, and should have got the monster push that time, I used to sort of fear him as a cena fanguy
Wade Barrett was already made. He didn’t need his Bad News run. If all they did was make him a credible opponent to John Cena (like Edge and CM Punk), Barrett could have had a Hall of Fame run.
He was a Big player diference is he didn't got much oportunities cause the bad news character was world title material
@@CulEdz I wonder why cena hated barrett so much
Absolutely. It's a shame he was somewhat injury prone at the worst times.
Absolutely love Wade Barrett
He's not only a great wrestler and commentator, but these interviews have shown us his normal side as well
Wade winning the 2011 mitb is a new butterfly effect cuz the night Bryan wins the title he starts doing the yes! yes! yes!
It's kinda nuts that one man's SNAP decision, to change who went over in a SINGLE match, could be so impactful to wrestling history.
@ you could really say that about a lot of the decisions Vince made last minute. Still on the topic of mitb imagine he actually went with Aleister Black/Ali instead of Otis/Brock

Yeah it’s an unique idea to make the money in the bank holder an underdog babyface instead of a typical coward heel
He should have won the briefcase in 2013 instead of Sandow, Cena was champion at the time it would be interesting to see Barrett get revenge on Cena for the Nexus
Sandow never been booked properly as well, always treated as a comic relief instead of an actual intelectual guy, that's not how you build a top heel

I love this guy's voice. Plus, the accent. Im glad he's on commentary.
He really is good on the mic to bad they didn't put it to better use
It's crazy too imagine how such an amazing match between Taker and Hunter, that continues the story of Taker and Shawn for a third year, wasn't the original idea. But when Wade talks about the build up it totally makes sense. Insane.

The funniest part of this to me is that I was looking for T-shirts from my favorite eras of WWE and saw a Corre shirt online and said "Oh yeah I remember that" and bought one. Once I went back and watched some of their matches........
Wade should have been multi time world champ, shame on them for misusing him. He’s killing it on the commentary mic now, multi talented
Nexus interfering in the Buried Alive match was pointless if it wasn't going to lead to anything. Vince didn't want Taker to lose clean to Kane for a third match in a row so probably that's why they interfered
He sounds like thor lol
I love this interview and I really like the way that wade portrays everybody else
"To the surprise of fucking nobody..." That's comedy gold right there.
What I gathered from this is that even backstage these guys were treated like jobbers at first when they should’ve been trying to make the next generation of wrestlers. I feel so bad for him because he could’ve been a main eventer twice and both times they messed it up. I love drew as a Scot but I’d been happy with wade as a uk WWE champ
I genuinely enjoy hearing this man. He has excellent communication skills
That could be one of the biggest "What ifs" in WWE history. What if Wade Barrett won MOTB, as originally planned? Would Barrett have gotten the singles push he needed/deserved? Would Daniel Bryan still reach mega star status and start the "YES" movement?
Only the real ones know wade Barrett is a legend frfr
I'll never understand how this guy wasn't one of the biggest superstars, dude had height, was built, good looking and has a voice of a supervillain. Honestly still cant believe it lol.
Triple H buried him behind the scenes
his shape wasn't good back in 2011 but as BNB he was definitly world champion material
Are you forgetting that he was injury prone? That was what curtailed his career. There were many occasions when he got pushed but he'd get injured prematurely.
One of the best standing moonsaults you'll ever see to!!
When he had his biggest push in 2010 his ring work wasn't that good. When he got better Vince had already lost interest.
Wade was actually the only one out of Nexus I wanted to see thrive. I think it was that James Bond persona that I liked. Similar to how I always liked Nigel McGuiness' football punk persona.
The infatuation line was incredible 😂😂
This guy had a good look and voice. Why Daniel Bryan.
Daniel was getting the pops… Vince didn’t even want Daniel to main event
Why not DB
Corr. Cohr. Corre. Kore. Korr. Kohr. Kor. Cor.
Edit: Qore. Qor.
Looks like Wade was wrong about it being hard to be spelt in different ways
Or corps as in Marine Corps
@@petermiddleton5998what about Job Corps even tho the s is silent
You could get even crazier if you used Wade’s phonetic pronunciation of the word, it would be similar to contemporary merch.
Where can I watch the full interview instead of these parts?
Wade would be such a great wrestler in this era
God 2010 WWE feels like the stone age, that era was just so painful, up until 2011ish Pipe bomb era, WWE was PAINFUL to watch, or even admit to watching
It's so funny that Money In The Bank 2011 has the feel of being one of those events WWE threw a bone at their hardcore fandom - Punk winning post-pipebomb, Bryan winning MITB, Christian winning the title back from Orton - and all those decisions I'm sure were completely consequential lmao
Hey kind of new to this channel, does he ever upload new interviews? Don’t get me wrong any bit of this content I love, but just wondering! Thanks
As a Marine I can tell you there is definitely another way to spell Corps. And a shirt with it spelled that way probably would have sold great.
I loved nexus at the time and he’s right the corre just wasn’t the same. I absolutely loved his elbow finisher, used it every year on wwe games
I can only dream for a modern day nexus with wade barret and nxt come ups taking over the smackdown and raw tag team divisions
The Nexus story line made no sense
I can’t say wwe fumbled him cuz he got hurt every time they pushed him
they fumbled him badly in his peek heel run though, so yes they did
@@theonlygoodonehere2259 his nexus run they fumbled him with super Cena, but every other time it was on him, I think people are forgetting how often this guy was injured 🤷♂️
@@Josh82420 exactly nexus, but as you can hear from this vid, they were gonna give him the smackdown MITB in 2011, and he was still at a chance to be menacing heel guy, and decided to give to daniel bryan wtf
@@theonlygoodonehere2259 tbf Daniel Bryan wasn’t exactly a bad choice haha
@@Josh82420 it was, because it went no where for his push, and didn't make a star guy, until they paired him with kane, and he started getting over
I like Barrett and I agree he didn’t quite hit the heights he deserved (great commentator now though) but Triple H/UT was where the money was and was a part of the HBK/UT storyline. That was an incredible four year saga.
Damn i see why guys like Kenny Omega, Sting, Will Osprey, Abyss, & many others never came to WWE. Bc Vince created such a toxic & bad environment.
Sting did go to wwe in 2015 but they messed up his character by having him lose to Triple H at wrestlemania and then he got injured by Rollins when he faced him which he lost too
The whole Brutus Beefcake thing had me dying
“End of Days” V2 Slaps though 😂
The Core is a thing that should have been a T’ing ☘️😎
Literally none of the things people on here didn’t like about Barrett were his fault wwe killed a lot of guys at that time that went to other promotions and became relevant and then wwe brought them back because they realized they messed up I think Barrett is one of those guys who could come back and be a potential star.
I hated it when he didnt get his world championship match
Man WWE fumbled the bag so hard with him. He could have been what Gunther is now 10 years ago. If they would have rode the hot hand off the nexus, I think he would have went down as one of the best heel champions ever
The power of the Darkside should have clashed with The Barat Barrage👊
Pats infatuation lead to a B plus situation....
Wade had some frustration trying to represent his nation....
we know its WWE's own right to chose...
but to Wade that was just SOME BAD NEWS
Wade was a one of a kind wrestler Vince really dropped da ball wit him same wit da Nexus too
Not just Vince triple h literally had the opportunity and he never gave him a chance either
This is my favorite midcard class so let me vent. Nobody thinks Nexus had star players in it besides Wade but I could tell they were being held back man, Gabriel? Heath as a character? Hell even Ryback was more than just Skip Sheffield. If only the machine was actually put behind these guys man🤧
Very talented professional. Deserves all he seeks. 👍
Wade was a legit tough guy and should have gotten the push they gave baron corbin.
I liked his brother beau more too
I have a Corre shirt lol I loved the theme song honestly
Which one? There's like 8 different mixes of 'End of Days' lol
@brokkenskyy lol you're right, I think it's the 4th honestly but slower maybe 5th lmao I'd have to check

I agree that would be the second question I would ask. They legit came out to a new mix every 2-3 weeks lol
This guy still has a lot of potential in ring
Wade Barrett should bring back the Barrett Barrage gimmick if he makes an in ring return.
The funniest part of the corre bit is that they could have just spelled it corps
Love this video love Wade Barrett, not the biggest fan of the drunk fan. Beefcake never "shot up" a subway. He left a bag of drugs on a train while working and caused and Anthrax scare. Glad i googled that, boo misinformation.
I didn’t think “The Corre” was bad. I thought it was fine. Didn’t seem weird or off to me.
"copyright" is wrong, it's a trademark
A great storyteller...
It didn't went even Daniel Bryan win the World Heavyweight title at WrestleMania but 3 years after
He is great at telling stories
I reckon Corre sounds fine if the logo design looked cool, but... Well... That didn't exactly pan out.
Vince and Cena fought over who can bury Wade more.
He went against Randy and cena in 2010 enough said 😂
Every WWE wrestler has a Vince impression.
Seeing that Vince was surrounded by so many Yes Men makes me understand why the last 10 years of his career WWE was so awful
Bad news Barrett had legs
I'm afraid I've got some bad news..
tf am i watching an interview from 2017 for
Should have gone for the Kore
His neck and face look like a super hero
I remember when he returned and he was getting heat but Vince your always gonna a heel with me. I would have quit on the spot
These are old interviews right???
I wanna know about the brutus thing
he'll make a good producer one day. hes in the position Aldis is right now. If WWE needs they can step back in the ring to sort some gobby wrestler out.
He sounds like Chris Hemsworth if he was British instead of Australian
thats because that whole time frame sucked... the PG era was so bad. MANY people stopped watching.
therefore Barrett didnt go anywhere.
Why not KORE?
"The rise of the Corre" lmfao
One man buried them and that was cena
While the corre sucked the theme song was goated. For me personally anyway
Super Cena bullied Nexus and destroyed all their careers
the biggest what if he wade made it big what a fumble by wwe
I’m glad that the behind the scenes story is as stupid as the on screen story
Why not just Kore Kor or Korr?
Damn he sounds just like Chris Hemsworth!
The Undertrumper halted his push
Not a single soul thought Kore?
Thank god Vince is out of the picture
Wade was over as bad news
The Korrie
No? CørRre!
You really can't spell Kore a different way?
