And a star is born ( Stu Bennett )

He's Great out of the Ring

Maybe it's just his accent, but Wade Barrett has always sounded good. Barrett can cut a decent promo, partially due to all his time spent in FCW.

Barrett suffered an injury to his Latissimus Dorsi (a long back muscle) during training. Dusty Rhodes, one of the minds behind FCW, wanted Barrett to stay in the spotlight, so he brought him in for color commentary.

Barrett did a pretty good job, and he would be a great candidate for the ol' "wrestler turned announcer" gimmick later in his career.
