shiznak Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) Magnus's mic skills > Barrett Magnus's look > Barrett Magnus's wrestling > Barrett Magnus's booking > Barrett Barrett's just a crapty replacement for what Nigel was supposed to be in WWE. Doesn't help that he barely can wrestle and needs to steal NXT dudes moves. Speaking of stealing people's moves....doesn't Magnus use the cloverleaf as a finisher? Also, his Mag driver looks fairly similar to the Michinoku driver. Coming from a guy who only watches TNA, your opinion doesn't really mean much. I however watch both companies and even though I'm pro WWE, it doesn't take an internet smark to know Barrett is better than Magnus.

I seem to remember Barrett coming back to TV with a gimmick and finishing move eerily similar to that of Kassius Ohno/Chris Hero's right as he was rumoured to be brought up. Talk about stepping on a guy's toes. I watch a lot more than only TNA, in fact if anyone here watches every minute of WWE in a week, I still probably watch more with ROH, DGUSA, NJPW, RevPro, AAA, DG Infinity, PWG, etc. The only reason I don't talk about those is I doubt anybody else here watches them.

Smashian Kassian Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) I'd love to see Austin come back. I'm sure they'd waste it though and have him face Cena They would probably try too. Barrett > Magnus. No. Magnus >>> Barrett they won't have him do anything cause he'll most likely shoot it down. pretty sure he's made it clear many times, his one match would be with cm punk. he even alluded to that on his latest podcast where he interviewed.. himself. he brought up something regarding the business today (pretty much buried the PG product) and what it takes to be a good face and a good heel. he brought up "stone cold" was "the grey in a black and white environment." couldn't tell if he was a heel or a face. that's pretty much what cm punk is today. blur the line of face and heel cena already had the rub against the rock Thank god, Rock should have done that too. Stone Colds return would just be far too great to waste on super Cena, it would be great to see him and Punk get 20+ minutes at next years mania. Barrett's mic skills > Magnus. Barrett's brawling skills > Magnus. Barrett's persona > Magnus. Barrett is also better at gaining heat from the crowd. Magnus's look > Barrett Magnus's in ring work > Barrett Magnus's persona >>>> Barrett Magnus is entertaining. Barrett puts you to sleep, thats the biggest difference between the 2. I agree, magnus is still pretty good though. I think he would do better in WWE than TNA. Nah he would get buried in WWE or fed to Cena, he is much better off in TNA. Really? I can't list one great match Barrett's ever had. That's not the case for Magnus. This. Barrett is garbage. Maybe he has skills and WWE is just holding him down, but right now he is just boring as hell. Edited July 14, 2013 by Smashian Kassian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like saying Owen Hart sucks, because he's copying the Sharpshooter from Bret, when Bret was using it as his finisher. Besides, the elbow to the head is such a generic move that just about every superstar can make it his own (Jericho, Punk, Christian, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marleau_12 Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 Lol I think Thursday was the first time I actually paid attention to Magnus. I don't get why you guys drool over him. He might be alright but he's definitely not "there" yet. As for tonight, going with Henry, Shield, Axel, Y2J, AJ, Barrett, Bryan, Ziggler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The situation with Bret and Owen was much different than Ohno and Barrett. Again, it's not only the move, it's the whole gimmick and character that Barrett's stolen.

shiznak Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Wade Barrett: Bareknuckle Brawler Kassius Ohno: The Young Knockout Kid The WWE already mentioned Barrett was a bare knuckle brawler (back in his NXT days) way before they signed Kassius to a contract. Plus, it's not really a gimmick of Barrett, when its a fact that he is a bare knuckle boxer in real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only used him that season because Nigel wasn't willing to do what WWE's medical team suggested. They switched Barrett's character much after Ohno had started doing it in FCW and NXT.
