It looked like a Scissor lift. In that case, he should have been tied off. Where's OSHA when you need them?

Hey remember when everyone on the FAN buried the gimmick as the worst thing ever? To be fair, the first few times it was on TV, it was god-awful. Now he's hamming it up and it's spectacular.

I loved that whole segment. That's what you do to keep a gimmick like this over. You add something new to the mix when it needs it, and that's what they've been doing. First, he started saying "DECORUM, PLEASE!!!" and bang a gavel, now he has a Mega Podium. I love it. I hope they give him a judge's wig or something next.

I think Barrett would be better if his Bad News were clever one liners with dramatic sound effects like on the JBL & Cole Show. Although he needs to keep that podium.

Bad News Barrett still sucks. I agree. In 6 months he'll have a new gimmick, which will also suck along with whatever theme music he'll have.

I hope he does the Bull Hammer with the gavel.

Hey remember when everyone on the FAN buried the gimmick as the worst thing ever? To be fair, the first few times it was on TV, it was god-awful. Now he's hamming it up and it's spectacular. And this time they actually had him randomly pop up and say something, instead of introducing him.

It's a terrible, poorly thought out gimmick, so every week, they keep throwing new completely random stuff on top of it without any semblance of theme or coherence backing it up.
And as of this week... it's become a thing of surreal brilliance.

So stupid.. but so awesome. Agreed. I really hope the takeaway we all have here is not "OMG THIS IS SUCH A GREAT GIMMICK" but "Call the Men of Science, but Wade Barrett can put boiled trash over like it was a hitherto-forgotten Von Erich!" It's a terrible, poorly thought out gimmick, so every week, they keep throwing new completely random stuff on top of it without any semblance of theme or coherence backing it up. And as of this week... it's become a thing of surreal brilliance. And so pithily, another FANner has so succinctly defined the concept of "so bad, it's good" to a much wide audience

The podium was awesome. His promo was just terrible.
