Barnett has worked for the likes of New Japan Pro Wrestling and Inoki Genome Federation, without yet making his splash on the American wrestling scene. When I asked him recently about the prospect of working in WWE, he was open to doing so, with conditions.
“Sure! Working is working, and there’s a lot of great guys in WWE that I’d love to put on a match with,” Barnett said. The thing is, wherever I go, I’m a wrestler. I’m not an entertainer or superstar or whatever. I’m a wrestler first, and I won’t concede on that."
When asked if he’d ever been contacted by WWE, ROH or TNA, Barnett joked that he didn’t think they wanted anyone to upend their show.
“Probably. That’s the roots of my training. If I’d have went out there and didn’t represent strong style or shoot style, that’d be weird,” Barnett concluded.
