Wade Barrett's "Bad News" speech was not known to many of the WWE talent, according to F4WOnline.com. It was said that the camera shots of the wrestlers in the crowd was their genuine surprise and that everyone loved what he did.

Jim Ross Update With WWE
WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross was a late addition to the WWE WrestleMania XXX Axxess. He was also spotted in the front row at the WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony. There have been rumblings about WWE wanting to make nice with Ross, so he would not join Jeff Jarrett's new wrestling promotion, which is called Global Force Wrestling. Furthermore, some believed that Ross was a possibility to be the announcer for The Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar, but those plans did not go through. For more on Jim Ross, visit jrsbarbq.com

I just watched his speech on dailymotion, funny as fuck.

So it seems there are some wrestlers who love his gimmick (Big Show for example, sporting a creepy ass smile.)

Wade Barrett needs a fucking push already, damnit.
