Barrett informs that he was so burned out towards the end of his run there that he didn’t even bother trying to make anything better when he received scripts. During that period of time he didn’t have any arguments with creative or management because he was just going with the flow and giving them what they wanted. Jericho points out that when you lose that fire it’s time to move on. Barrett informs that he had no plan when he left WWE, he just knew that he needed to get away.
Barrett mentions that he landed the lead role in a film called “Vengeance”, in which he did all his own stunts. He points out that working as a professional actor is different than working in WWE because nothing’s live. Sometimes they do 15 takes of each scene from multiple angles, and that can be annoying when he was accustomed to live shoots. He also says it took him a while to adjust to filming fight scenes because he was accustomed to actually laying in punches and kicks, but in the movie business you don’t actually land strikes.
Jericho recalls a Highlight Reel segment featuring him, Barrett, The Miz and Brad Maddox from a few years ago. It wasn’t a great segment by any means, but Michael Cole called it the worst segment in RAW history after being instructed to say so by Vince McMahon. Jericho was furious with this and actually grabbed Cole and called him out for it. He got to the backstage area and people with livid at him for roughing up Cole, but McMahon later agreed that he might have overreacted by calling it the worst segment of all time.
