Alright, so I got curious the other day about Wade Barrett. You know, Stu Bennett. Remember him? Bad News Barrett? Used to love that gimmick. Anyway, he’s doing commentary now on NXT, I think, maybe Smackdown sometimes? And he looks like he’s doing alright for himself. Got me thinking, how much dough does a guy like that actually have?
So, naturally, I went looking. Fired up the old search engine. Typed in the usual stuff, you know, “Wade Barrett net worth”, “Stu Bennett money”, things like that. What pops up? A whole bunch of those celebrity finance websites. You know the ones. They all claim to have the inside scoop.
What I Found (or Didn’t)
Here’s the thing, though. It was all over the place. One site says one number, maybe a few million. Another site throws out a completely different figure, sometimes higher, sometimes lower. It’s like they’re just guessing, honestly.
- Saw figures ranging quite a bit.
- Some sites seemed more updated than others, maybe? Hard to tell.
- No official source, obviously. It’s all just speculation.
You start thinking about his career. He was a main event guy for a bit with Nexus, won King of the Ring, held the Intercontinental title like five times. That’s gotta pay well in WWE, right? Plus merchandise back then. Then he left, did some acting, some other wrestling stuff I think? Now he’s back doing commentary.
So, you try to piece it together in your head. Okay, WWE main run, that’s X amount. Indy stuff, maybe Y. Commentary contract now, probably pretty stable Z. But these websites? They don’t show their work. They just slap a number on the page. Makes you wonder where they even get it from. Maybe they average out other bad guesses?
My Takeaway
Honestly, after clicking around for like 10-15 minutes, I didn’t feel any closer to knowing the real number. It’s probably comfortable, whatever it is. He had a solid career, seems smart enough. But pinning down an exact net worth from these online guesses? Felt like a bit of a pointless exercise. It’s interesting for a minute, just to satisfy curiosity, but you can’t really trust those numbers you find plastered everywhere online. Just gotta take it with a huge grain of salt. So yeah, that was my little dive into finding Wade Barrett’s supposed fortune. Still don’t really know, but hey, I tried.
