maybe it's the homserism in me but that is it for the OG winner of Season 1 NXT Wade Barrett I guess
NXT has come a long way since then but Seaon 1 & 2 gave me some of my favorite talents of the last 10 years. (Barrett, Daniel Bryan, Bray Wyatt, etc).
I got back into wrestling since the attitude era when I saw the Nexus debut during that Cena vs CM Punk match and Wade Barrett and the NXT guys came out and dumpstered everyone. I thought it was so awesome to see new guys come out and look so strong, it was very attitude era in itself (which I'm hoping they do with the Balor Club debut). I really thought Wade Barrett was going to be a star (the look, the mic work, etc) with how strong he first looked, it's a shame they let Cena squash everyone and ruined what was my favorite faction in a long time and it was also a shame freak injuries ruined any pushes he could have got. (Like when Big Show threw a guy on him and blew out Barrett's shoulder.)
