Obviously would have been a lot better if Punk took out Mark Henry and Khali in the same night for shots and giggles instead of Christian, but it will do.

Shots?
Can't see Straight Edge CM Punk being down for shots. Shits is a different thing though. |

Christian takes 4 months off for an injury, comes back to join Team Johnny, gets taken out by CM Punk 3 days later, and is replaced by Drew McIntyre with no announcement whatsoever except in the run-in during RAW last night. Even if his ankle wasn’t 100%, he took spots where he had to rely on it, so you think they’d OK him for WrestleMania if he was willing to do that on RAW.

Yeah, apparently they thought his ankle would be heeled by WM but when the heeling process was slower than they thought they played it safe and took him off the card.
Would make more sense if it was a one on one or even a tag match. With FIVE partners, they could have easily had him do less work than he did on Raw and still easily get by. Not sure what the thinking was with this whole thing. |

Like I said, it's a 6 on 6 match and they could have given him less work than he had on Raw.

It must be something worth being concerned about to pull him 6 days before Mania.

Yet they had him get destroyed by Punk AND even get a GTS that required him to get dropped and land on his ankle. That's what I don't get.

The roster is so thin at this point, better to let Christian heal up than risk losing him for a longer period of time due to an injury in a 12 man match. On RAW, he was gingerly walking after getting on the ropes after his pose.

How about Vince gambling on people buying the PPV seeing that Christian would be there, while never really having the intention for him to wrestle at WM? Bait n switch.

Obviously Johnny doesn't pay attention to Smackown or he would know that Drew has been losing a lot recently. Probably should have gone after Brodus Clay who has looked dominant and even squashed Drew at the Rumble. Such a dumb move.
Just a little kayfabe thought. |

To take it out of Kayfabe, what does Clay do at Mania?
They debuted him around January, had him squash some meaningless lowercarders, binned him, brought him back to squash more Superstars guys aaaaaaaaaaaand? A pre-show Battle Royale win and a comedy spot on the main show? Should have bumped Khali for Funkasaurus. |

They REALLY wanna use Khali on PPV. I guess the whole India love for him is a big deal to them. Clay would have been a good pick since he could have dominated someone like McIntyre and gotten the pin broken up, ended up tagging out during an ensuing brawl and not having to take the pinfall, still making him look strong.
I'm thinking a comedy spot or, my hope, a run-in with Alberto del Rio and/or Ricardo with them being upset about how he's become a joke since NXT. Maybe leading to an impromptu Ricardo squash. |

I didn't like Johnny until the moment Drew McIntyre was announced to his team, I now own a Big Johnny flag and T-Shirt.

Go watch his whole program of trying to get with Kelly Kelly by proving his anger issues had calmed down and then his performance in Elmination Chamber that year after Kelly Kelly got fired. It was phoenomenal.

I still haven't seen his Elimination Chamber performance, but I heard it was great. Then he got de-pushed. Like instantly.
He's proven himself, and even if he's on the card by accident this year, you just know he'll work hard to prove he belongs there. The guy looks like a star, and his ring skills and promo work have been getting better all the time. I'm still all for McIntyre turning face at WrestleMania, nailing Otunga with the Future Shock. Why does Drew help Teddy? Maybe he could say something about "the devil you know" or "I want to prove myself" or something about Teddy now owing Drew something and they can call it even and move forward. Have the heels in Team Johnny take exception to Drew's betrayal, and he's all calm in his nice clothes like "What of it?" and he kicks their asses individually over the next few weeks to build him for a RAW Money in the Bank briefcase win. |

Drew McIntyre reminds me so much of Randy Orton, actually. He could be a similar type of babyface for the WWE.

I'm all for the idea that nearly anyone can be good with the right writing and the right character. Drew included. I don't put him above most of the other guys in his position though. He's just alright in every aspect to me.

Like Alex Riley. Although McIntyre needs far less polish in the ring than Riley does. Riley has got a lot more charisma and personality, though. I have absolutely no clue why Riley has essentially been doghoused by the WWE. I guess they might just be putting him through the wringer to see if he's got the right attitude and longevity the WWE needs in top stars.

I was being sarcastic with the Alex Riley thing.
Drew is much better in every way including on the mic than Riley. I have no problem with Drew. He's definitely not shit. He just doesn't stick out to me. |

Why the sarcasm with Alex Riley? The dude is the goods.
You should watch some of McIntyre's Superstars work. Tremendous. Even had Bret Hart raving about him. |
