Out Of Time, So Say 'hellooooooooo'.
 

"We noted last week here on the website that WWE SmackDown star Drew McIntyre will be getting a new “arrogant playboy” gimmick. At a weekend WWE SmackDown live event in Honduras, Drew started the new gimmick and was acting sexual and flirting with male fans in the crowd. Before the match, he was seen blowing kisses at some of the males."

Your wife messes with the powers that be, you end up losing your wife, your push and now seemingly, your characters sexuality.

:o

Poor Drew, had the world at his feet. Now his career's on his knees.

Triple H once wrestled in Pig Shit. Think about that for a moment.

One of the dumbest creative ideas wwe has had in a long time. Gay gimmicks just don't get over anymore. It's been done to death. And no one will do it better then Golddust. Rico,Orlando Jordan and more have failed miserably. Nothing about his badass ring music says "Gay" so they will lose it,then it will bomb and hello TNA. I guess cause he has a pony tail they're calling him gay. Stupid.

Why do gay men have to blow kisses to males in the audience? Can't he be a closeted gay who comes out much later?

You could have him tag with someone, and slowly the two of them become great friends (do vignettes of them hanging out). Drew develops feelings for the guy, and at first, gets frustrated because he doesn't know what's happening. He realizes eventually (perhaps on a double date his tag partner and him go to, where he just can't get it on), and is at crossroads. Eventually, he tells his partner, the other guy freaks out, and Drew snaps.

Or, have him turn in to a submission machine.

Well the thing is...gay people are accepted in most areas and its not as big of a deal as it used to be,except maybe in the south were everything is decades behind the rest of us. People in New York or LA don't give a shit about this. These gimmicks are for shock value and ususally laughs. But after it's done for a few matches no one cares either way. WWE drops the ball on talented wrestlers more then TNA does sometimes.

Totally get that. To think that in the "realism" era or whatever they call it, a stereotypical pink gay is the route they choose to take.

See ya Drew

almost all "shock value" gimmicks are garbage. boogeyman ate worms. dreamer ate everything. mideon was naked. all of those gimmicks burnt out pretty fast. goldust is the only exception i can think of at the moment.

it depends on how he rolls with this. if he can make it interesting, cool. the "arrogant playboy" thing means he will probably be flirty and irritating. it doesn't mean he will walk around wearing "i like cock" t-shirts.

it almost sounds like he will have jericho's wwf debut gimmick. last i heard, jericho was still doing ok.

Rico was pretty amazing.

Gay gimmicks are hilarious.

I want to remember to quote this any time the whole "OMGZ HE IS BEEING BURRIED" shit comes up.

Oh, and is CM Punk still in the doghouse?

Mark Henry had sex with a 80 year old woman who gave birth to a hand.

Sounds like a shitty gimmick but until it debuts on TV theres no point worrying about it,could have just been a rib seeing as it was a house show, could also be the greatest gimmick since Funkasaurus.

Generally gay gimmicks don't seem to really go anywhere... but then again, nobody thought much about a white rapper gimmick either.

However, with that said, I pray to God this isn't the direction they're taking with Drew Mac.

Natalya farts, and now Drew is gay....... what's next? Orton in a man-baby gimmick where he....... oh dear lord........

BABY MADE A BOOM BOOM. *Viper Trance*

Oh, lighten up people. It's not like Drew was on his way to stardom as the guy jobbing to The Great Khali in a minute. I'm glad they're giving him something not so generic as "Drew McIntyre, guy with a common name in common wrestling tights who wrestles a common WWE style and cuts common heel promos". If this is what he ends up bringing to TV, it would be awesome.

P.S. "Straight dude" gimmicks have kinda been done to death.

Thought this was gonna be about him starting some sort of Bizarro Gimmick. Which I would have liked to see.

Hold on, let's not jump the gun here. Hear me out for a second...

McIntyre has had all of the chances in the world to prove that he belongs on the SmackDOWN! roster. All Teddy Long has to do at this point is say the word, and he'll be fired. As a last act of desparation, Drew PRETENDS to be gay. Why? So that his "firing" would be viewed as discrimination against his orientation. He could even go so far as to hire Otunga to be his lawyer and ensure that he keeps a job.

Book it!

Or don't.

But that's about the best that could come out of this.

I like that idea. Have Drew constantly be put in situations where he has to prove he's gay while Teddy is around. A Jack Tripper gimmick, if you wheel.

maybe Drew will become the male Aksana

(see also Orlando Jordan in TNA)

LOL, this is obviously going to lead to a huge push for Drew. Wait and see.

It's about testing you, kids.

It'll just be a funny anecdote to tell during his HOF induction speech:shifty:

A year or so ago, someone on this board was suggesting that Drew should have a gay gimmick. Apparently it finally happened.

Yea, he's still in the dog house for out popping DX at survivor series.

Wrestling fans on the internet think way too much into the dirt sheets. For all we know this was a one off deal, or maybe he was having fun at a house show. The possibilities are endless, not limited to what we read on the internet.

We think the wrestling world was once an iron curtain and all we saw is what they wanted us to see, and now it's a glass house. That's only half right. It used to be an iron curtain. Now that we've gotten a glimmer of what's inside we "know everything". We think because Ryan Clark reports it, it becomes the gospel truth. Listen, I'm sure any one of us could find the right people, and troll the IWC as a fake reporter claiming that Santino is going to be a pervert when he talks about his "cobra", WWE is going to hire Mongo to help recruit football players who want to be wrestlers, and Kane is going to be filming a remake of the 1934 classic "Bright Eyes" as he's been spotted backstage singing "The Good Ship Lollipop".

Being that Drew is one of the best, if not the best, looking guys on the roster, I think this sounds like it will be entertaining. Now, don't get me wrong, this is probably the end of Drew's career, but at least it should be entertaining to see.

GLAAD will love this one.

:shifty:

No idea why GLAAD WOULDN'T love this one.

Well, given WWE's partnership with GLAAD on the whole Be A Star thing, I wouldn't be surprised if they tried making Drew WWE's first gay face character.

Pretty sure they have all been faces. Except for Billy and Chuck, who I can't remember if they were always face or not.

They were initially disingenuous faces and were only tongue-in-cheek gay until the whole wedding fiasco.

GLAAD actually had people consulting with WWE during the Billy and Chuck storyline and helped WWE promote the storyline and get it mainstream attention.
