View Full Version : What happened to Drew McIntyre?
He is now a regular on Superstars and he got superkicked by HBK in a backstage segment on RAW. He even jobbed to Chris Masters and Zack Ryder.
A friend of mine told me that the poor thing got divorced from a former WWE diva recently. Is he being punished? Is he in the dog house?
Feel free to share your opinions below :wave:

What happened to Drew is he moved to RAW.

When did that happen?
nvm, it was Tiffany
What happened to Drew is he moved to RAW.
Apparently he was moved to Superstars and he tends to make a few rare appearances on RAW.

There were reports that he ruined his own push by becoming very high-maintenance and diva-ish backstage.

He's where he should be? Apart from his music, he's kinda dull.

He was growing on me. I didn't like him initially, and I still kinda think he needs a new look, but in the ring he was definitely starting to improve and increase his repertoire.

Don't think i've been bored by a Drew Mcintyre match. Why some find him dull i don't know.

I just don't find him that good in the ring. But then I tend to flick through his matches, more because I find his character boring, so maybe that hasn't helped.
On a side note, I also think Zack Ryder is average in the ring. But better than Drew.

I thought McIntyre had potential but as usual, the WWE creative team can't see talent when it's straight in front of them. It's the same with John Morrison, Kofi Kingston, Chris Master and Zach Ryder. All have enormous talent but are being underused. I think Morrison may be the exception when he returns

Well, McIntrye had a really good run on SmackDown. I think his move to Raw didn't help him out, as we can all see.
John Morrison is injured at the moment so I wouldn't say he's being underused. Before his injury, he seemed to be getting quite a push. He was receiving a lot of promo time, which, personally, I think he needed as he isn't really the greatest on the mic. Practice makes perfect and all that.
And within about the last year, he's had a lot of really good matches, he's had WWE Title matches, made it to the finals of the King of The Ring, had a match at WrestleMania. It wasn't the greatest match ever, but a match a WrestleMania is a match at WrestleMania. And just before his injury, he was starting an interesting feud with R-Truth, so I wouldn't say he's underused. I'd say he's somewhere between Mid-Card and Main Event. "Upper-Mid-Card".
As for Kingston, he's over. He has shown how good he can be and he's just lost the US Title and he's in the Money In The Bank Match, so him winning it, is possible. Chris Masters got a small push a while back, but I think that was only because he made his pecs dance. :-\
Zack Ryder has just started to get TV time. He's not making cameos backstage with Cena or anything like that, but actually TV time on Raw with what looked like a challenge issued to the Tag Team Champions. So maybe it's a bit early to say that Ryder is underused, as it looks likes he might just be starting to go somewhere.

I am a fan of Drew McIntyre and I don't like how he has been tossed aside in favor or Alberto Del Rio, Miz, Alex Riley, and R-Truth. I know everybody like them, but those are probably my four least favorites in recent memory. I never liked Miz and Riley may get better with time. Del Rio, while decent in the ring, just doesn't scream top guy to me. I know Drew doesn't either, I just like him more. Of course this is all my opinion and I know you guys all like those four I listed, but I think Miz is the worst WWE champion of all time. He's probably the one I dislike the most of those four. R-Truth's push is probably finishing for now, but I didn't like that he was getting a title push initially. His heel turn was a great segment, but since then I can't take him seriously as a heel. He's too goofy. It reminds me of when Santino was a heel to be honest. I liked Santino moreso then though because of the Glamarella storyline, but he didn't scream major heel to me either due to his character.

Noticed he has been making quite a few appearances at FCW shows. Perhaps the people backstage changed their mind about his wrestling ability.

No, I read on this site that Kelly Kelly and Justin Gabriel were an item.
Well Kelly Kelly fucks so many people you'd never know who she's with this hour.

He was married to Tiffany. She kicked his ass right before a PPV and ended up getting released eventually. Dude doesn't do it for me anyways. He's stale on the mic and kind of unremarkable ring wise.

He was incredibly bland. They almost made him a bit interesting with the Kelly Kelly angle, but the only time I really didn't mind watching him was when he started jobbing to random moves from guys lower on the card and threw fits about it to get his losses expunged.

Bad accent?
It's not like he's faking that accent. You can't really hold someones accent as a reason why they apparently suck.

i thought they were going to give him a huge push around elimination chamber time, he was like a violent destruction machine and i thought that was the plan

girl thinks boy is too violent
girl goes for someone else
boy becomes even more violent

Wasn't sold on this guy when he initially debuted but in some ways I think he could be just as good as monster heel as a Barrett or Sheamus he just needs to be given the opportunity.

Reading this thread made me realize that WWE does tend to make most non-north americans heels. Barrett, Sheamus, McIntyre, Gabriel to name a few.
Damn, no wonder the rest of the world hates me.

Drew McIntyre is a good worker, but he can get a lot better, too. In some ways, being on Superstars will help him, because he gets to work longer matches as opposed to three or four minute ones. Personally, I love the guy, but not everyone can be pushed at once.
I'd like to see him face CM Punk on RAW, actually. There's one more before Money in the Bank, right? It'd make sense that Vince sends his Chosen One to do soften Punk up for John Cena. McIntyre loses the match, but when Cena retains (or Punk wins and then is defeated by the guy cashing in), McIntyre can take credit for it, and then face the WWE Champion on RAW. He wouldn't win (again), but it'd be a chance for him to have a good main event-level showing.
Alternatively, McIntyre could offer to soften up Punk, but Vince can choose someone else, and tell McIntyre that he hasn't lived up to expectations "lighting a fire" under Drew.

I kinda liked Drew McIntyre as a face on Smackdown trying to get in Kelly Kelly's pants
I would like to see his character be this douche that would act all nice in front of the ladies but be a total scumbag behind their backs, bragging to his buddies and shit
He'd be the WWE's version of TPWW poster jindrak. He could even have his own PICK UP ARTIST STABLE !!! That would be some real RASSLE ART !!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember hearing reports that he lost some respect with the boys because he was pussy-whipped. Along with that he was given the name Avatar because of how controlling his soon to be ex-wife was.

They should have Drew McIntyre get a head injury and them come out painted blue, claiming to be a Navi.

Here's a random idea, stemming from my McIntyre vs. Punk suggestion:
* Punk vs. McIntyre is scheduled by Vince McMahon, and the Nexus run out and attack McIntyre, causing the DQ. Vince is pissed at McGillicutty & Otunga, but they don't care because they are bad-asses. Otunga claims he's got too much star-power to fire, and McGillicutty is too good to let get away. Plus, they are champions. Vince books them to defend the Tag Titles agaisnt The Usos at MITB, and they win, and Ryder again shows up.
* McIntyre is again defeated by Zack Ryder after a roll-up, and he is pissed off. Hell, you can maybe do that later at the PPV in an impromptu match.
* The next week, McIntyre demands to get Ryder again. Ryder accepts, but McGillicutty & Otunga show up and help Ryder win. Then they beat-down McIntyre. Woo Woo Woo, You Know It!
* Ryder reveals that he is aligned with McGillicutty & Otunga because they share the same revolutionary ideas as he does, and realise that Vince McMahon is losing it. He's trying to stop the Ryder Revolution, the McGillicutty Genesis and the Otunga Movement, but he can't do it.
* McIntyre is pissed at them, and wants to prove he is Vince's Chosen One. He aligns himself with Curt Hawkins and Primo, two former partners of Ryder that he has left to fend for themselves.
* SummerSlam: Zack Ryder, Michael McGillicutty & David Otunga vs. Drew McIntyre, Curt Hawkins & Primo.
That'd never happen, but it'd be...interesting. It'd certainly make use of some talented performers, as undercard as that match seems. But not everything can be a main event, right? And from there, the Z-Nexus moves up, and McIntyre is all pissed at his partners, and pushes them around too much. They turn on McIntyre, and then Primo & Hawkins can become a weird face unit.
