Bad News Barrett Talks Wanting to Become the First British WWE World Champion, Being Unlucky at WrestleMania and More

April 26, 2015

bad-news-barrett WWE star Bad News Barrett was recently interviewed by talkSport to promote tonight’s WWE Extreme Rules PPV, and below are some interview highlights:

Wanting to become the first British WWE World Heavyweight Champion:

“Once I’ve done that I want to be the first ever British WWE World heavyweight champion, especially now we’ve got Neville around. I know he’s going to be gunning for it, so I’ve got to step my game up and make sure I beat him to the title.”

Being unlucky at WrestleMania:

“I’ve been pretty unlucky in the past when it comes to Wrestlemanias, I’ve not always had that highlighted spot. Fortunately it all came good for me this year and I managed to stay injury-free, which is a rarity in itself… So I was very pleased to get all the way to Wrestlemania, with the only downside being Daniel Bryan stealing my championship.”

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films.
