Thats the first thing that came up when I googled him, real name Barri Griffith.

Just finished watching, Barri used an Argentine Backreaker as a submission finisher.

He can't be any worse then Batista and atleast he is younger.

I watched the video I kinda liked him basically using the torture rack as a finish. I havent seen that in a while but he defenitly looked green and he has some work to do thats for sure although Richie didnt look to good either so who knows what he could pull out wit a better opponenet.

I thought richie was alright (in a not such a cookie cutter type of way). Mason looks green but he moves waaaayyy better than Batista did when he was leviathan in OVW. Dave may have had the look but he was sooooo bad. This guy looks the part. Can't wait for him to appear on tv (sd I hope).

His FCW name is Mason Ryan. Did he get a name change in the RAW event? I'm assuming he's gonna when he gets to the main roster.

I know Barri on a personal level!! I live not too far from him (in Wales) and know him quite well!! He is a very down to earth guy and a true gentleman (unlike big Dave), and he wasn't roiding before he went to the US (in january), and hopefully he hasn't started since crossing over the pond. He does need a lot of work in the ring though before he is shoved on tv. But honestly, I think he has great potential to be a powerhouse in WWE.

I'm not sure the civilized world is ready for "another" Batista... Give me strength....

So he's Welsh? Geez, anyone would think WWE was aiming at opening a franchise/brand in the UK. Either that or Vince lost a bet with the Queen. I must say I'm a bit surprised that with all the talent in Mexico and Japan they have really seemed to concentrate on getting more workers from the UK. But Vince likes his wrestlers on the big side and your best place for that is there I guess.
