Wade Barrett says he’s thrilled to be blue once again.
As seen below, Megan Morant interviewed Barrett before tonight’s WWE SmackDown on FOX season premiere from the DCU Center in Worcester, MA. Barrett commented on joining Michael Cole at the SmackDown commentary table and said it’s really cool because Cole called the majority of his in-ring career with WWE.
Barrett said it’s a “huge thrill” joining Cole on commentary as he considers Cole to be the “G.O.A.T.” of pro wrestling commentary. Barrett joked that he will probably have a falling out with Cole here & there, and that he will give him a hard time, but it’s pretty cool.
Barrett also weighed-in on tonight’s big match between Sheamus and WWE Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER, and said their first match at Clash at The Castle was the best match he’s seen all year.
The new SmackDown broadcast team will see Cole and Barrett call the action from the booth, while Samantha Irvin continues her ring announcing duties, and backstage interviews conducted by Morant and Kayla Braxton.
