His gimmick is that he is basically the Chosen One, hand picked by Vince McMahon. Whether that works or not is a totally different question.
I like his work, but I can see why people think he's boring.
Too soon to tell I think. The whole "Chosen One" thing is nothing new, but I think this one can go places if they don't let him win $ITB.
I think the only thing average is his in ring skills, and even that is arguable. I don't see how someone can be average looking when I look through the WWE roster and I can't find anybody even similar to him.
They have given us a very basic look with Drew, hopefully so that as his character emerges his look can change with it.
I dont totally get the 'looks average' thing. I've never been fond of the guy, tbh. He hasn't done anything at all to really stand out from the crowd, except from the 'chosen one' gimmick crap.
However, that said I know this guy can have a long career ahead of him, and I'm sure some things will change, especially when he gets closed to a world title, that will/could make him more fun to watch. Maybe a slightly more interesting gimmick like 'the apex predator' ie Orton.
Until then, I might conitnue to watch his mediocre matches...
I think it is too soon to have given him this chosen one push deal because even though he is doing all the right things (getting Vinces nod ,the wiped slate ,the easy$ITB qualifier) to get heat, he's not connecting with the audience and not experienced enough yet to actually sustain or build up the heat he gets. I mean sure, everyone hates him as long as he is right there acting like a spoiled punk, but he is easily enough forgotten.
The guy is a relative rookie, bro. Don't have such high expectations already.
I think Drew needs to stop walking like Randy before he changes anything else about himself.
Sometimes slow themes are good, but his theme is too damn slow.
He has a cool look though, sort of reminds me of the Seinfeld line "Tall Lanky Doofus."
I'm probably the only one who actually likes his theme. I think it would be a HUGE mistake in having Drew modeled after anyone. He just needs time to get his footing I think.
I really don't understand the internet lash against McIntyre, it's like Kennedy but in reverse. First of all, he does have an interesting look, like mentioned there's nobody that looks like him, he's the opposite of average. "The Chosen One" is a good gimmick, he's corporate to the core, he's the one 'management' wants at the top. The average Joe in the crowd is supposed to despise him. His promos aren't geared toward this as of now but they'll get there.
McIntyre is suffering from the disease WWE creative puts on everybody, lack of character development. A 3rd grader could build up more proper stars and storylines better than creative in the past few years. McIntyre and almost every storyline in the company is being built to...nothing. Everybody is just kind of there and until McIntyre gets a reason to be the face of McMahon's corporate dream then there's not much he can do.
He has all the right things going for him so far, we just need to be patient and allow things to come together. Rushing things with him would be the worst possible decision, and then we;d bitch about it being so rushed. Let's just wait and see what happens.
