mobile.twitter.com/WadeBarrettHe's changed his name on Twitter to Stu Bennett and it says "Performed in WWE as wrestler Wade Barrett." Edit: It's just been changed to "Perform in WWE as Wade Barrett". Good chance it's a false alarm. Evidently he's shooting a movie and trying to emphasize himself as an actor. There's an IMDB link there.

He's a tremendous talent they've just started to scratch the surface on. Hope it's a weird false alarm and he's still around.

I wouldn't blame him if he left. He'd be in demand by your major indies, so he needn't worry about money. WWE has just derailed him so many times that it has to be discouraging.

Seemingly it is just him wanting to do acting. Which I guess makes sense. He'd probably get injured less, for one, plus being a big guy who can actually talk worth a damn, he could probably get some work.

Seems more like he just changed his twitter to his real person instead of kayfabe

If he wants to act, he'd get shitloads of roles in crime movies, as the muscle.

When people talk about Kevin Owens and Bray Wyatt being victimized by Hurricane Cena, I'll never forget what damage John's Category 5 knuckle shuffle did to everyone in Nexus, most specifically Barrett.

THIS IS THE BADDEST OF NEWS! If he wants to act, he'd get shitloads of roles in crime movies, as the muscle. Yeah, I remember that film he was in with Colin Farrell, he played the muscle role rather well, with what limited lines he had. Plus, he's got the look. When people talk about Kevin Owens and Bray Wyatt being victimized by Hurricane Cena, I'll never forget what damage John's Category 5 knuckle shuffle did to everyone in Nexus, most specifically Barrett. Yeah, I don't personally reckon Owens & Wyatt were too badly wrecked by Cena, but Barrett? He came in, became the hottest heel in WWE in mere weeks, and then gets squashed by Cena and slapped down to the bottom of the card. I will say though, Barrett in NJPW or RoH? He'd be f***ing amazing. Make him into a mercenary like he almost was when he was "Open for Business", and he'd be great. |

He literally buried him. There's no way HHH wasn't having the laugh of his life in Gorilla during that. |

I'd love to see Barrett as a Bond villian.
James Bond: Do you expect me to talk?
Barrett: I'm afraid I've got some bad news Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!

Good move to get into acting. Considering he is a Brit in America, surely there will be no shortage of villainous movie roles for him to perform in.

If the acting thing fails, give him an afternoon court show. That dude can handle a gavel.

Sad if so, but let's face it: the guy got screwed over. Fall 2010, Nexus had so much heat that one time Barrett waited to speak because the boos were so loud. Why halt that momentum?

I think his strengths as a pro wrestler would apply better in acting than they do in wrestling.
