How about Drew McIntyre is as dull as dishwater?
He has no gimmick. Much of this thread concerns itself with a comparison of McIntyre and Brodus Clay. Several people have told us: The fans love Brodus.
But do they love Brodus.....or do they love his gimmick? In his first WWE go-around, he had no direction.... then he was used as a bodyguard for Alberto Del Rio. Where was all the love for him then? Management was unimpressed enough that they sent him to pro wrestling's version of Never-Never Land, right? After residing there for a long time, accompanied by an unexplained delay of over a month due after it was announced he'd be back, Clay returns as the Funkasauras....and suddenly everyone discovers they actually loved him all along?
It's the gimmick. In Drew's case, he has none and the company doesn't seem inclined to give him one. In this thread, we've read the usual gamut of opinions regarding Drew: he can wrestle--he can't wrestle.......he's great on the mic--he's terrible on the mic.......he has charisma--he has none.........and so on, and so on.
Yes, some folks like him and others don't, making him the same as every other WWE performer, no? We're all entitled to our opinions, even though some of us on this forum state our views
as opinions, while others proclaim them as absolute facts (which is nothing new on this board).
I say McIntyre should get something new to run with. The company seemed to be giving him a direction with that weekly beating he was getting on Smackdown in the face of being fired by Teddy Long for losing......but it led nowhere. And yes, yes, he had the Chosen One gimmick, which I still contend was more of a curse than a blessing: when you're anointed as "The Chosen One" that early in your WWE tenure, where do you go from there? He wasn't ready for it; that's seems certain. Now, maybe he is.
So, okay, WWE Creative. You've written program after program for Cody Rhodes. You've featured Dolph Ziggler so much on TV that it's become monotonous. You've made Jack Swagger a world champion. All of these guys have (imo) no more to offer than Drew McIntyre.
I believe the man has worked hard and long enough to warrant another push. Give him a gimmick and see if he can run with it. If he can, WWE has a marketable commodity. If he can't, he can come and be my boy toy forever.
Hell, either way.....I win.
