He hasn't wrestled for nearly half a year which sucks.

When he came back as Bad News Barrett, I was just happy he was back on TV. Like others, I wish he would get some matches in but I think the bad news is fun, especially when he's taking shots at Miz. Plus, it looks like he's having a lot of fun doing it which will only carry it further.

I think a prime thing would have been to have him mess with the crowd at RR.
buzzer....... Bryans music hits... Wade walks out with a mic.... " I've got some bad news for ya.... I'm the real #30... you get no Daniel Bryan tonight"
could have help propel him a bit with some uber heat, and it would have at least got him into the ring for a bit.

I always liked Barrett, and this gimmick has been hilarious so far. All I want is for him to be in a match.

Well, whenever something unpleasant happens, my buddies and I have been saying "I'm afraid I've got some baaaad news....."
So, if they were trying to give him a catch phrase - mission accomplished. I applaud them for that much....

I think Barrett should be on commentary. This is a step in the right direction though. I never got into the hype about him being such a great wrestler. He's in that category with The Miz, Damien Sandow, and Dean Ambrose. Amazing talkers, but pretty boring, average wrestlers.

I think the gimmicks awesome. That accent just makes everything he says sound even more heelish.

I've started to like him more and more as of late. At first I thought the gimmick was stupid. Now, I actually like it.
I do feel that WWE has missed A TON of moments on where he could've gotten more heat. I.e: #30 Rumble spot - "I've got some bad news, Daniel Bryan is not #30, Mysterio Is, Rumble match with Cena and Orton. Those are some recent ones.
Hopefully he starts wrestling again.

It's growing on me.
Still think they missed the boat on Barruh "The Barber" Beefsteak though....

I would like to see him wrestle more, but he does get a laugh out of me.

im glad they are going the over-the-top route with him the podium like 20 feet above everyone, the gavel banging 37 times.
thats what makes things work. go so far in the ridiculous people will like it (see: Zack Ryder)
Barrett is talented. One of the better talkers we've seen the past decade. But he has been completely cut down, buried and trashed by this company who clearly have zero idea how to push a main event heel besides Alberto Del Rio. Anything Barrett does is fine with me, and at least it seems like he's sticking with one theme song for the first time since Nexus.

I resent that they always make British talent pompous. Regal, McIntyre for example. Barrett is a capable wrestler who deserves more than this... McIntyre is Scottish. Never call a Scotsman and Englishman

I hate to admit that the gimmick is actually growing on me too; somewhat. I think it's mostly his delivery. He's given so little to do, but hes trying his best to make it work. I'd love to see him wrestle again though.

The Royal Rumble would have been saved in my opinion if on the #30 spot instead of it being Mysterio if Barrett's voice just came out of nowhere with "I'm afraid I've got some... Bad news..."

Haven't seen too much of it personally, but the .gif that's floating around on here is hilarious.
