Drew wanting a character change

[Stopspot]

The matches I have seen from Del Rio compared to matches I have seen from Drew are nothing, I cant remember a Del Rio match that was great.

Del rio was one of the biggest stars in Mexico before coming to the WWE. Him being better than Drew isn't much of a debate.

Drew was decent in IWW at best IMO, he's a nice intense worker but lacked much else bar some hilarious overselling expressions. I watched his work with SOS and was more impressed with the fella tbh.

You don't recover from 3MB.
Fans aren't believing McGillicutty as a Heyman guy and his character wasn't even damaged.
Once you go into the pile of jobbers, you never get out.

I personally am of the opinion that no wrestler is beyond repair. It's all about how you handle them and restart them.

I agree with this. There might be exceptions but I think as long as you have talent and can prove you can still be entertaining, the fans will forgive whatever shit gimmick you had previous and it's not too late. A lot of fans have short-term memories, anyway. Kane had to suffer through being an evil dentist and being a caricature of Kevin Nash's Diesel character before landing upon being The Big Red Machine, which has been perfect for him. I don't think 3MB is a big enough dent to McIntyre for him to not come back from it. He might prove to be interesting with Heyman as his manager.

Maybe Heyman should just create an updated version of WCW's Dangerous Alliance stable and just add 2-3 members to go along with Curtis Axel. Or perhaps just manage one or two other guys separately but then at certain times, have all of his guys (Brock being the big exception) work together at crucial points.

Hell, Brian Cage spent his entire time in FCW (WWE's old developmental system) as Kris Logan, a parody of Wolverine from the 90's X-men cartoon. He rebounded from that gimmick and is an absolute beast now.

Anyone can be saved with the right direction and plan.

Not a fan of Drew at all, and the period where he was an IWC darling was borderline unbearable. He's average at best. His look is mediocre, his mic skills are mediocre, his ring skills are mediocre. Paul can get anyone over so a "would it work" question is rather redundant, but there are so many more wrestlers that would fit with Heyman better. I'm not even sure if Axel was the right choice for Heyman yet.

Changing companies is a must when trying to recover from a career handicapping gimmick. I can never picture McIntyre in a serious role in WWE after this shit.

I feel the same way. Drew is fine, a perfectly acceptable talent. He doesn't have many huge flaws. But at the same time, he is painfully average compared to the hype he receives from some (and used to be many)

I think a big part of it was the theme. People just loved that fucking theme, not that it wasn't pretty sweet.

Although I wouldn't mind seeing Drew with Heyman, I don't see it happening right now. With Axel being named Heyman's new client recently, I don't think they'd give a new Paul Heyman Guy so shortly after Axel was revealed. They're going to want to push Axel right now so I think Drew will be in 3MB for a bit longer.

I like Drew, but I really think there are people better suited for this. Although the big boot he's been pulling out these days is awesome.

Drew deserves more than he gets in the WWE. He is a great talent and is better than some guys who gets pushes (Ryback, Del Rio etc). He has never been able to show that in the WWE. Ive been to a few indy shows here where he appeared and he was great, His mic skills are actually quite good but again isnt able to show it. He seems to be a joke in WWE being stuck in 3MB and being mocked in promos about Scot stereotypes aka when Morrison came out dressed as Braveheart.

Del Rio >

 

[Beefy]

It's to late for Drew, he will be a joke from now on. It's a shame as I kinda liked him when he first started.

Hope it will happen. I was watching 2010 SmackDown's and this guy is great!
