Line 9:
** The same pattern repeated itself with the Corre. He was again the main speaker for the team, but he seemed to have accepted that it wasn't all about him, even going out of his way to declare his fellow Corre members his equals. But then a world heavyweight championship battle royal came into play with all four members as participants, and Barrett fell right back into the same old habit starting from there. [[Aesop Amnesia|You'd think he'd know better]], but at this point he just doesn't freaking care.
* [[Arch Enemy]]: At first, the WWE management due to how [[The Nexus|they]] where treated during NXT, then [[John Cena]] and now [[Randy Orton]].
* [[Badass Longcoat]] / [[No Shirt, Long Jacket]]: Wears one around his shoulders to the ring.
** [[Coat Cape]]
* [[Big Bad]]: Subverted, see [[Disc One Final Boss]].
Line 39:
* [[Insistent Terminology]]: A possible inversion. He insisted on ''not'' being called the leader of The Corre, as it was an alliance of "four equals." Unfortunately, his [[It's All About Me]] attitude led to the Corre splitting.
* [[Jumping Off the Slippery Slope]]: He's achieved all of his initial objectives, now he's just in it for the money and the power.
* [[The Kid With the Remote Control]]: Between ''Hell in a Cell'' and ''Survivor Series'' in 2010, [[John Cena]] had to obey Wade's orders to remain employed. This seemed at first like heaven for Barrett, Nexus, and [[Smart Mark|smarks]] worldwide alike. But then it [[Hoist By His Own Petard|worked]] [[Out
* [[You Meddling Kids|Meddling John Cena]]: Why he's not The WWE Champion.
* [[Noble Demon]]: He's even apologized for attacking [[John Cena]] and [[Bret Hart]].
Line 50:
* [[Still the Leader]]: Said this pretty much verbatim after [[CM Punk]] took over [[The Nexus]]. Punk would respond to this by costing him a shot at [[The Miz]]'s WWE championship--and ripping Barrett's Nexus armband off as an exclamation point.
* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Two years ago, he was a developmental talent in FCW. [[Wham! Episode|Then the NXT Riot happened.]]
** Then, after his [[Power Stable]] (s) split, he was relegated to the mid-card again for a few months. Ever since he started the "Barrett Barrage", though, he's been running roughshod over most of his competition - including tossing [[Randy Orton]] off a staircase.
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: On the NXT Season finale, he and David Otunga had 60 seconds to deliver one of these speeches to the other. Otunga would spend that time making fun of Wade's appearance, specifically his lanky body and crooked nose. Wade would deliver an epic retort centering on [[Muscles Are Meaningless|David's inability to wrestle]], stating that [[The Giant|The Great Khali]] moves around with more balance and poise than Otunga does. He would then cap off the rant blasting Otunga's "It-Factor" tag line stating that the only reason WWE promoted that is because he had absolutely no tangible qualities whatsoever, and that he could add two more letters in front of it to understand what Wade really thought of Otunga.
Line 63:
** In an interview with WWE Magazine, he said he prefers trunks because that's what guys like [[Steve Austin]] & [[Dwayne Johnson|The Rock]] wore.
* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: Positioned [[John Cena]] as special guest referee in his title match against [[Randy Orton]]. If Barrett leaves as champion, Cena's freed from Nexus. If Orton does, Cena is fired.
** However, Cena [[Out
