As time goes by, is it pretty 50-50 how Wade Barrett's in ring career will be remembered by?
Nexus and the N logo are timeless. That 2010 storyline was so memorable, this might be the only thing a casual fan may remember of him.
The Bad News Barrett was a fun gimmick for us WWE fans who continued to watch years after the nexus. He won his titles here. But does this body of work be more memorable than the Nexus run?

I wasn't watching when Nexus was a thing, but that's what I always think of first.

It should be Nexus leader, but it's hard to reminisce about that time without laughing in disbelief.

Bad News Barrett.
I still remember Jerry Lawler's weird retort to him.

Nexus had great moments, obvious classics like the debut, but honestly, I still think of Bat News Barrett first, probably since he spent so much time in the role and got to show more personality.

Is it dull to say both?
When he's 70 he'll be hitting conventions selling yellow 'N' armbands and charging $30 to tell people he's 'afraid he's got some bad news'.
He did very well for being a mediocre wrestler (by today's very high standards) and only having a short career - to have two such memorable characters.

Nexus for me.
Bad News Barrett was a good gimmick but the Nexus was huge at the time.

The fact there’s no Good News Barrett on here makes me consider this poll null and void.

Bad News was a better gimmick but the Nexus for better or worse was one of the most prominent angles in recent history so that gets the nod in my mind.

Probably Nexus. It was a much bigger focal point of the shows as opposed to a midcard comedy guy.
It’s so weird. They gave him a main event push when he was total dog shit in the ring but made him a comedy jobber when he actually got better. Lol

Should be: Bad News Barrett
Will be: Nexus leader
BNB had so much potential that they squandered.
