Barrett is very happy for his old friend, Drew McIntyre. He thinks McIntyre is going to be very successful in his second run with the company. He notes that the entire locker room was blown away by McIntyre’s initial release, and most people were confused as to why the company would release someone with his size and ability. Barrett adds that McIntyre’s promos may have needed work, but he addressed that during his indie run and now he’s one of the best in WWE.
Barrett informs that he had a lot of fun with the Bad News Barrett character, and he’s proud of what he did with that gimmick. Eventually that gimmick was dropped when he won King of the Ring, and creative told him that this win could be very beneficial for him. Unfortunately, within a couple of weeks he was losing to guys like Sin Cara and R-Truth and he knew this was a problem.
That sums up today’s episode of Talk is Jericho. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
