Everybody hated him, except for one, young Wade Barrett, who decided, "I'm going to try and model myself after that guy."

Wade Barrett's final match was held back in April 2016 which was part of Monday Night RAW, where he joined hands with Sheamus in The League of Nations.

Commenting on the same, he shared, "If I could have one match for the remainder of my days on this planet, it would absolutely be me against Drew McIntyre at Wembley Stadium. If they dangled that in front of me at any point in time, yeah, absolutely. I'm coming back, and I'm having that match sold out at Wembley Stadium. But that is a bit of a pipe dream."
