Look back at the picture. Totally not Wade Barrett. Looks similar, right? The man pictured is actually Wade Dooley. Dooley was an English rugby player who was often referred to as the "Blackpool Tower" because he was a 6'8'' police officer who was notorious for his rough style.
As for the character, Barrett explains his inspiration as an extension of his real life "dark side" that people don't see.
Wade Barrett against Ryback? Sounds like a possible main event, maybe even a WWE Title match in the next few years. A match between two Superstars of their caliber would surely be put on only for paying customers. They did. In fact, most WWE fans didn't even see this epic matchup. It was on NXT Barrett got the last laugh though, as he would eventually lead Sheffield and other NXT rookies as the leader of Nexus. Maybe it's just his accent, but Wade Barrett has always sounded good.
Barrett can cut a decent promo, partially due to all his time spent in FCW. Barrett suffered an injury to his Latissimus Dorsi a long back muscle during training. Dusty Rhodes, one of the minds behind FCW, wanted Barrett to stay in the spotlight, so he brought him in for color commentary. Barrett did a pretty good job, and he would be a great candidate for the ol ' "wrestler turned announcer" gimmick later in his career.
Whether its bare-knuckle boxing, doing commentary, inflatable jousting, beating up guys who just stabbed him or anything else, Wade Barrett has done it all.

Obsessed with squid, spirals and story. I publish short weird fiction online at desincarne. You can follow me all you like, just don't touch my stuff. Why on earth would fans of professional wrestling take it as read, on this one occasion, that it's not just a work? Except that illegal things make it onto the internet all the time.
Newspapers, magazines and television run features on bare knuckle boxing. People write books about them. More importantly, the fights are all over YouTube, some with millions of views. Yet the supposed purse was twenty thousand pounds, meaning that the organisers of the fight must have made at least as much, if not far more. From the charge on the door?
