July 4th 2024.
Wade Barrett will never forget the moment he considers to be the most embarrassing of his entire career. It all happened during his time as a member of the Nexus in 2010, shortly after his debut. The WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry, who is known for his incredible strength and performance in the ring, was not happy with Barrett after he nearly injured both of them in a costly mistake.
In an exclusive interview with The Agency through AceOdds, Barrett opened up about the unfortunate mishap. He mentioned how management had insisted that he use his old finisher, The Wasteland, during his match with Mark Henry. However, Barrett was hesitant because he knew that his finisher was not suitable for someone of Henry's size and weight. Despite the objections from Barrett, Henry, and the match producer, he was forced to go through with it.
During the day, they had practiced the move and it seemed to work fine. But when it came to the actual match, it was a disaster waiting to happen. Barrett landed on top of Henry's head, and he was almost certain that he had broken his spine. Henry was furious with him, and to make matters worse, it all happened live on television in front of the entire world.
Barrett couldn't help but feel highly embarrassed, especially since he was still relatively new in the world of WWE. He had only recently been promoted from the developmental league FCW, and now he had dropped one of the biggest names in the industry on his head. But luckily, he was able to move on and have a successful career.
Looking back, Barrett admitted that he had no regrets and was grateful for all his experiences in the industry. He had moments where he wished WWE had pushed him to the next level, but he was proud of all that he had achieved. He even made it to the main event in Summer Slam and Survivor Series, won championships, and became a focal point on TV numerous times.
Now, Barrett can be seen every Friday night as a commentator on SmackDown alongside Corey Graves. Although he is content with his current role, he did mention that he would be open to another match if it made sense. He even had a potential opportunity to return to the ring with the NWA when their now-SmackDown general manager Nick Aldis approached him. However, due to the pandemic, plans fell through and Barrett ultimately signed with NXT.
But Barrett is still in great shape and would consider another match if the opportunity presented itself. He is excited to see what the future holds and is grateful for all his experiences in the industry, both in and out of the ring. As for his fans, they can catch him on SmackDown every Friday night and watch Money In The Bank on the WWE Network on July 6. And if you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, don't hesitate to reach out to The Agency's entertainment team – they would love to hear from you.
