  WWE should let barrett decide if he wants to be a babyface or heel. I think he’ll do both really well. I would like to see Barett happy in his job. I think he’ll do both really well. 

There is just something about Barrett that I don't like. I won't be missing him and be glad someone else gets the chance for the spot light.

I thought 6-8 weeks was way to optimistic for how bad that looked
