Bio
Wade Barrett, a tall, well-built Brit, brings a strong bareknuckle fighting background to WWE. Confident and eloquent, Barrett isn’t afraid to speak whatever’s on his mind. He’s notably obsessed with supremacy and will do anything in order to achieve it.
Since coming to WWE prominence as the winner of WWE NXT season one, Barrett has worked tirelessly—not only to step into the limelight, but to dominate it—thrusting himself into infamous notoriety time and time again.
Whether as a prominent member of powerful groups of intimidation (The Nexus and The Corre), showing his championship mettle by capturing the Intercontinental title, or sticking it to everyone from John Cena to Big Show to WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon, Barrett has demonstrated that might most certainly makes right.
As long as there is authority, Wade Barrett will pursue his path of destined destruction with unrelenting aggression and resolve. The only question is, where will this devious grappler will strike next?
Breakdown
Wade Barrett is a decently strong striker with an 85 Strike Power and a 90 Strike Defense, but he lands pretty much in the middle for every other category.
Ring Escape if you get into trouble, and take the fight out onto ringside to deal out some serious damage—strikes out of the ring are also awarded the 1.5× Out of Ring damage multiplier. Jab a couple of quick strikes and a running Clothesline strong strike for another 1.5× damage multiplier factored in.
