Ever since he first debuted on WWE NXT I've dug Wade Barrett, and it's been upsetting to watch his
potential get squandered in the fizzling out of the Nexus angle and the completely
forgettable CORRE storyline. Even in his recent feud with Orton, which should
have been elevating Barrett into a true main event talent, the wrestler has
struggled to get well and truly over as a threat, largely due to the fact that
Orton beats him up all the time, and that no one really understands what the
"Barrett Barrage" actually is.
Apparently, the "Barrett Barrage" involves throwing a guy
down a flight of stone steps - crude, yet effective - as seen last week on SmackDown during Barrett's match against
Orton. With Orton out of the picture due to a real life injury, Barrett gets
the heat for injuring him, and as a special bonus, even got to beat the holy
hell out of Santino Marella - the traditional privilege of a rising heel. But
as much as we dig the move, is there a worse finisher name in WWE than "The
Winds of Change"?
