Love how he takes the time to make a point of explaining why Wayne Rooney was justified in being concerned about appearing on tv, the risk of being embarrassed, etc. Wade Battett is a class act
@@OfficialFingazMC yeah he did. John got hot and turned into an asshole politician and he didn't even realize. Calmed down a lot as he went on and became the man we love today
@@OfficialFingazMC He might have. I'd pretty much stopped watching wrestling regularly by that time, and I suppose Cena does bear a fair amount of the blame. He was the top guy bringing in all the money spent on birthday presents for the coveted little kid demographic. What was Vince going to do if Cena refused to go along with burying every fresh new talent that came along, and actually stuck out his neck for them? Fire him?
I love Wade, I wish he had a bigger push during WWE and found a better finisher. He's amazing on the mic, talking here and in the commentary box, love that he's now with Cole on Smackdown
@@youarekiddingme1346 *blame Vince. yes Cena did mess up by changing an event, but Vince is mainly to be blamed, he does the same storylines, and only wanted to see reigns or lesnar win
@@youarekiddingme1346 lololol i cant tolerate the Cena disrespect lmfaooo as a kid i'd hate myself for it. nah fr tho even if u hate cena... u cant really hate that man ur lying to urself lmfao
“Shrek” was funny as fuck to me. It works for such a variety of people as a nickname. Someone at my school was Shrek, my uncle is Shrek, Wayne Rooney is Shrek, it just works so well for whoever.
I hope Triple H kept an eye on Giggsy around Stephanie. And I thought that if Rooney wanted to meet anyone from the attitude era it would be Mae Young.🤣
Idk if anyone else thinks so and before I play the blame game I am a cena fan, however with that being said. I think cena was the demise of Barrett and the rest of the nexus. They where on a major roll and than cena came along and made them lose all credibility. From that point on it was all downhill for all of them . I know the argument that’s not true bray wyatt is doing well . Here the thing bray repackaged himself and became something really exciting. Had he stuck with husky Harris he would have disappeared just like brother Bo
I seriously cannot digeat the fact that US people doesn’t watch football and doesn’t know wayne rooney 😂😂. And, also they call hand ball football and football soccer😂😂. Its the greatest sports invented by human species. Its not a even a sports its emotion. Wade had to explain HHH who rooney was 🤣🤣🤣
I sincerely hope Wade Barrett is kept on as a Smackdown commentator and they don't give the job back to Pat McAfee. I never thought it was possible that a commentator could be so bad that they ruin a wrestler's entrance but he managed to do it to Shinsuke Nakamura time and time again. Plus, Wade Barrett actually has a way with words and doesn't say things like, "He stole that victory... like a snake... in the desert." Wtf does that even mean?! Lol
His brain must be frazzled from wrestling seeing as he gets the day of the week of the game wrong, the score wrong, the broadcaster wrong and thinks fans were booing him

Would love to hear about his Summerslam tag team match against Stephen Amell.
Love how he takes the time to make a point of explaining why Wayne Rooney was justified in being concerned about appearing on tv, the risk of being embarrassed, etc. Wade Battett is a class act
Roy Keane was furious with Rooney after that appearance
And in the end the kid says just do it ffs.
Wade’s got a voice I could listen to for hours.
Awesome story teller, like JR and Paul Heyman.
Can't not love this fella, oozes charisma. It's a crime that he was never (and the first English) WWE champion! Grrr Cena!
Wade Barrett was injury prone and got injured every time they started pushing him, can't blame cena for everything lmao
Can't blame Cena for the way he was booked. That's all on Vince McMahon.
@@Emper0rH0rde Didn't Cena put the kibosh on him winning the title, and has since said that he regretted doing it?
@@OfficialFingazMC yeah he did. John got hot and turned into an asshole politician and he didn't even realize. Calmed down a lot as he went on and became the man we love today

Rooney & Steve Austin vs. Wade Barrett & Kevin Davies. Book it!
Yes Kevin Davies would tank both of them alone!😂
I love Wade, I wish he had a bigger push during WWE and found a better finisher. He's amazing on the mic, talking here and in the commentary box, love that he's now with Cole on Smackdown
Blame cena
@@youarekiddingme1346 *blame Vince. yes Cena did mess up by changing an event, but Vince is mainly to be blamed, he does the same storylines, and only wanted to see reigns or lesnar win
@@Rooseafe are you new round here.. Lol we blame cena for everything. 💯😂😂

@@Rooseafe 😂😂💯
Well im afraid iv got some BAAD news cena sucks
This story just looks more weird with time. Now I can say Wade Barrett got slapped out by a former derby county manager live on Monday night raw
Everytime i look at wade barret i always feel about the nexus. That group could have been one of the most dominant.
Man looking back he was such a amazing talent in wwe so smart about everything it's such a shame him and wwe didn't get along
Its always so funny to me how these ITR videos are titled with such unnecessary emphasis
Wade Barrett SHOOTS
Chris Jericho SAYS
Cody Rhodes TALKS 😂
thats basic youtube titling
All I can think of now when I think of that slap is Roy Keane shaking his head with his arms folded.
They should have got Giggsy involved, trying it on with a Diva, to get a finisher from someone!
Could have Greenwood in a match for the womens title😂
1:24 the fan that yelled can he talk had me laughing 😂😂
Love wade Barrett. Very underrated
Wadd Barrett is one of my favorites both in the ring and in shoots haha. He had the balls to trash talk Rooney, that player was a psycho haha.
Rooney was like a hockey player on a football pitch. Tough as nails, and worked his ass off.
I went to a tna double taping in Manchester uk and the beast off the chase was there
I just remembered I was actually there when this happened, only wrestling show I’ve ever been to.
I'd love to hear the story of Stephen Amell...Huge fan of Arrow.
Cody talked about it on one of these ITR live shows
Boy does he understand psychology
1:24 🤣🤣
Wade Barrett is the goat
What a story teller. I can listen to him all day. ❤Damn shame WWE did not use him properly. 💔
rooney is trained in boxing it would be really interesting to see him in a wwe ring 😂
Wade was a bare knuckle brawler so that would be interesting
@MR Blaze Pukka Yes he was you absolute weapon
@@RYx222 you called him a weapon? Huh
@@TheRealMikeMichaels It's British slang for someone who is incredibly stupid
amazing story
They wouldn't even let wade hold the wwe title for at least a week that speaks volumes on the politics behind the scenes in the company.
He sounds like a Legit Football Fan .... Brilliant! 😂
“Shrek” was funny as fuck to me. It works for such a variety of people as a nickname. Someone at my school was Shrek, my uncle is Shrek, Wayne Rooney is Shrek, it just works so well for whoever.
You're Shrek
wayne rooney bringing ryan giggs along with him did he forget wade barret is male not female 😂😂😂
Love Wade! 😂
Great story. I miss Bad News Barrett
I’m so glad I was there for the slap. Literally in the audience
I hope Triple H kept an eye on Giggsy around Stephanie. And I thought that if Rooney wanted to meet anyone from the attitude era it would be Mae Young.🤣
He is so FINE
glory glory man united
I was there when this happened & it was a very split reaction from the live crowd, which will be no surprise to anyone from the UK.
What a good dude!!
Great story very switched on man 🤌
Bro did a will smith
I hoped he would say that he was trending in Antarctica...
Hes the lebron james of soccer 😂
he's a realistic, he said in UK because he's England legend
Jus' saying. Liverpool's 1 championship off drawing Man U's record. And for some F'ed up reason, I have a soft spot for Gillingham XD
Love that story, can't wait till you get back in the ring and become champion, it's so long overdue

To be fair to Cena I believe even he thought they should have gone over but you know...Vince.
Wades Austin impression was hogan..
Yeah all his American accents sound the same. 😂
I lost my like on- "and that's the bottomline"

Welcome to the world outside of your own ho
Football isn't a world wide thing fame wise, thankfully.
Hand ball is basketball got that one wrong
What year did this happen or was this recent?
Not recent, it was around 2013/14 if I remember correctly
@@joshfox567 I mean the this video not the Wayne Rooney incident lol
@@joshfox567 it was 2015
i remember cause it was king barret so that’s why
Sometimes it’s bad luck unfortunately. He was supposed to win the money in the bank but his injuries interrupted his momentum.
England's greatest ever striker...that be Harry Kane im(useless)o
Funny but from a kayfabe point of view, Wayne Rooney is presented as tougher and braver than Wade Barrett.
Not all publicity is good publicity
even the child said just get on with it
Vince McMan. Or McMarn?
🇳🇬 🇳🇬🇳🇬😂
Boo indeed
It was the worst slap ever
I WAS THERE!
Wayne Rooney? Let's see... Joey Abs, Pete Gas, Rodney Gas... Nope. 🤷
Lol can someone enlighten me on when a Scottish team has achieved anything that will compare to Wayne Rooney 😅😂 it will never happen
I sincerely hope Wade Barrett is kept on as a Smackdown commentator and they don't give the job back to Pat McAfee. I never thought it was possible that a commentator could be so bad that they ruin a wrestler's entrance but he managed to do it to Shinsuke Nakamura time and time again.
Plus, Wade Barrett actually has a way with words and doesn't say things like, "He stole that victory... like a snake... in the desert."
Wtf does that even mean?! Lol
His brain must be frazzled from wrestling seeing as he gets the day of the week of the game wrong, the score wrong, the broadcaster wrong and thinks fans were booing him
If all those premier ship foot ball fans/hooligans might have bloomin rito on use lots hands
Waid sucks
What a boring Individual
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. -John 3:16
It was fake Rooney slapped him for attention there all mates anyways.
Yeah, that's exactly what the video gets into. You just need to press the play button.
Best comment ever
Wade says he was aprofessional wrestler... and on wwe... but was he? does anyone remeber him at all?
What the f is wrong with you
You didn’t read any of the other comments, did you?
Shoots? He over sold it.... Makes it look even more fake
I don’t think you understand the wrestling term ‘shoots’.
