Line 33:
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: Has a degree in Marine Biology and spent his youth as a bare knuckle boxer.
* [[Genre Savvy]]
* [[Greed]]/[[Only in It For Thethe Money]]: Has always been the central component of his character, going all the way back to his developmental days.
{{quote| "Greed is terribly underrated."}}
* [[I Did What I Had to Do]]: Feels completely justified doing what he did to get himself and the rest of the rookies contracts.
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 Withwith 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 Byby His Own Petard|worked]] [[Out-Gambitted|out]] [[It Got Worse|terribly]].
* [[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]].
* [[Pec Flex]]: He does it in the Season 1 finale of NXT. [http://gifsoup.com/view/1799312/pecs.html Shown here.]
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: Is out for up to 4 months due to his injured elbow being in far worse shape than originally thought.
* [[Satisfied Street Rat]]: His first gimmick on NXT, he was a greedy, bare-knuckle brawler who grew up rough and was damn proud of it. Also a bit of a William Regal [[Expy]].
** Shades of this character still exist. Particularly his greed. This eventually ended any chance of his successfully leading Nexus or Corre, to which he simply responded that he was getting "back to basics".
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-Gambitted]] him. Orton won and Cena was fired, but that merely allowed Cena to assault Nexus on a weekly basis. On top of that, Nexus already turned the security against them and when it looked like Cena was cornered by Barrett's trap, Cena revealed he had [[You and What Army?|an army of RAW superstars who hated Nexus as much as him]] ready to help him out. Then Cena proceeded to set up a [[The Dog Bites Back]] moment by tricking Barrett into pretty much saying he valued his own safety over that of Nexus, causing them to abandon him to Cena and force Barrett to hire Cena back.
