Wade Barrett - Personal Life

Personal Life

Bennett has three tattoos: barbed wire on his left deltoid, which he later expanded to cover the entire deltoid, a tribal design directly underneath the first tattoo, and a rose on his right deltoid with the words "Culture, Alienation, Boredom, & Despair" (a line from the Manic Street Preachers song "Little Baby Nothing"). Bennett is a supporter of Preston North End and the Chicago Bears. He plays the guitar in his spare time, and enjoys reading the works of Hunter S. Thompson. His favourite bands include Guns N' Roses, Manic Street Preachers, The Beatles, The Jam, The Smiths, The Stereophonics, and The Stone Roses.

On 15 June 2008, Bennett was arrested in Tampa, Florida, and charged with battery on a law enforcement officer (a felony) and obstructing an officer (a misdemeanor). The arrest took place outside of Champps Restaurant and Bar at 2am. He was released the next day. According to FCW sources, all charges were subsequently dropped by police. The officer that Bennett obstructed was not wearing a uniform and Bennett later stated that had he known the man was part of law enforcement, he would not have obstructed him.
