A biography for Wade Barretthasn’t been written yet.
“I always dreamed of getting in WWE and becoming a big star. But it's not something you could ever guarantee. It's like a kid wanting to play in the Premier League.”
“I think second place is the first loser in the competition.”
“My parents knew I was a massive wrestling fan.”
“I think Nexus is one of the favorite periods of my career, and I think we had a lot of success, and I think people responded to it really well.”
“The one thing I try to do is bring something to my fight scenes that no other film fighter could ever do.”
“Once upon a time if you go back to the early 2000s all the way to 2014 all I cared about in life was being a wrestler, going on the road, performing in front of crowds, getting big, climbing the ladder.”
“One of the problems with being a WWE Superstar is that I literally get zero time off unless I'm injured, and usually when I'm injured I'm sat on the couch unable to move because I've just had a surgery.”
“It was amazing to work with a cast like Terence Howard and Colin Farrell.”
“I felt very lucky that I not only got to be on Piper's Pit and work with Rowdy Roddy Piper who I feel is one of the best promo guys in the history of the company, but I also got to get interviewed by Mean Gene Okerlund who is another favorite from my childhood. I was a huge fan.”
“I improved my died by dropping a lot of carbohydrates like bread, rice and pasta and now I'm eating a lot more fruits and vegetables.”
“With my genetics, you have to be careful of doing too much cardio. I'm an ectomorph and you can lose a lot of size quickly if you overdo it on cardio.”
“So, the older I got the more I started to appreciate balance and variety in my life, and once you get a taste of that returning and realize how happy it can make you it is very difficult to conceive giving that up again.”
“One of the most exciting parts of the Nexus and 'Bad News' Barrett eras were I had a lot of influence in the character and I had a lot of influence in how I was going to portray myself.”
“I'm definitely never going to be John Cena, the life and soul of the party.”
“I started off in FCW working for Dusty Rhodes and being the color commentator down there in 2008 to 2009, and I've always loved it ever since.”
“I've always worked out very hard, very intensely, with a lot of free weights.”
“The moment you get comfortable is the moment you get stagnant, so I want to make sure I keep evolving.”
“Daniel Bryan is someone who I definitely think I can have good matches with.”
“I think the biggest difficulty from transitioning from professional wrestling to the acting world is generally toning down your performance.”
“There's certain elements involved in pro wrestling that aren't solely down to the performer. There's only so much I can do. I've kind of stopped beating myself up about things not working out the way I want them to every time.”
