Wrestlezone’s Top 10: Misused Wrestlers

May 10, 2013

8. Wade Barrett

From feuding with John Cena to becoming an irrelavant Intercontinental Champion, Wade Barrett is going through a period right now of uncertainty. He defeated The Miz one night after losing the championship at Wrestlemania. What has he done since then? Absolutely nothing. Once seen as the gem in Nexus, one could argue that he is second or third fiddle from that group. Barrett has the size, the tools, and the look to be really good. The problem is WWE does not know what do with him. Does the long black jacket really work with his gimmick? Give him a leather or jean jacket to look more of a brawler. His character is stuck because he A. does not have faces that are over in the mid card and B. His gimmick makes no sense. I want to see him used more and he desperately needs a good feud.

Josh controls most of the creative writing and ideas for the show on a weekly basis, as well as an on-air talent.

Aside from working with WrestleZone, Isenberg began his career in Broadcast Journalism interning at ESPN and worked with CBS Radio for three years. He has also had the opportunity to interview some of the best athletes and performers alive, including Andrew McCutchen, Ben Roethlisberger, Chris Jericho, Billy Gunn, Karl Anderson, Matt Hardy, Steven Strasburg and others.

Currently, Josh Isenberg works for Major League Baseball in their Advanced Media Productions. He grew up in Pittsburgh and went to Point Park University, which is where Chair Shot Reality is filmed each week.

His life outside of his obsession with wrestling include being a savant for Seinfeld, NFL, NBA, MLB and many television shows. He also has an undying love for musicals, which includes many shows he was a part of in high school. Some of his favorite wrestling moments can be linked to such superstars as Edge, The Rock, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and The Great Khali.
