In an interview on Tim & Sid on Sportsnet, WWE Superstar Bad News Barrett commented on his return to the company, his shoulder injury, what music is on his iPod and much more.
Highlights of the interview are below:
On what music is on his iPod: “A lot of British stuff, The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, Oasis, Joy Division. A little dated, stuff from the 80’s, dated stuff.”
On his shoulder injury: “I tried to fight through it and got my a** kicked and had to go get it cut open and fixed. That was a pretty rough day, I should be back in 4-6 weeks though.”
Where Bret Hart ranks in all-time WWE history: “My favorite of all-time is “The British Bulldog” Davey Boy Smith, but I’m obviously biased because I’m a Brit like him, but number two on my list is Bret “The Hitman” Hart, take the biased side of me away and he’s probably the best.”
On transitioning from bare knuckle boxing to being a role model: “You have to do whatever you’re good at, some people end up being strippers, I was never going to be a stripper, but I ended up being a bare knuckle boxer. I’m much happier being a WWE Superstar, I get treated better than when I was a bare knuckle boxer and I get paid a bit better too.”
On his hectic travel schedule: “If I get 2 nights a week in my own bed at home I’m doing good. Usually 270 days a year, not knowing where I am, that’s a normal day and that’s without any alcohol.”
