Triple H is pushing to get Michael McGillicutty re-packaged. Triple H is high on McGillicutty and Drew McIntyre as far as long-term potential goes.
I've never really been high on Hennig. I'm still not sure why he didn't just follow in his father's "Mr. Perfect" gimmick to begin with, but maybe that's the direction they want to take him now.

As for McIntyre, I think WWE has already missed the boat with him. He's been with the company a really long time now, he had that mini-run a couple years ago, they tried repackaging him afterwards at house shows... so I don't know what they could possibly want to do with him now.

As for Hennig, from what I've been told, he's an excellent performer.

Two of the best in-ring performers in WWE who I'd love to see at least get a chance. If they fizzle out from there, then so be it, but Hennig especially at least deserves a shot. He puts on some very good matches on Superstars and NXT.

McGillicutty is fucking awesome in the ring so i'm all for him getting some type of push, as for Drew i like him allot but the guy has been a jobber/joke for so long now that i don't think the crowd is gonna react to him with any push he gets but i could be wrong tho.

I really don't understand why WWE gives these guys and girls random names when they're part of a wrestling family. Sure I can understand it if they think the person can't live up to the family name or something, but they always reference what family they're from, who their father is etc.

Hennig definitley has more potential about him in my opinion and has been doing fantastic on NXT & Superstars for a long time now.

I hated Drew ever since his debut because I thought he was extremely bland, average in the ring and had no character whatsoever. Then just before he got drafted over to RAW I started to see an improvement in his ring work and he looked to be working very aggressive and I became a semi-fan of his. Even with a repackage though I don't see him ever becoming anything more than a midcard act because his mic work is truly awful and his Scottish accent is so girly sounding.

What's worse, Dale, is when they openly acknowledge that he's Perfect's son, but don't make any attempt to explain why he has a different last name.

Yeah I know that's what I mean but they do that with others aswell like Vickie's daughter and I wanna say they do it with Bo Dallas too.

Well that's probably because his father fucked Tommy Dreamer's wife... bad PR, you know.

Not sure with Dallas, but I know they did it with Bray Wyatt his match a few weeks ago on NXT which I thought was stupid. With his character, you don't need to put him over as a third generation star or whatever.

I'm happy for both guys. I'm high on McIntyre still and think all they need to do is have him go over some names then he's back. Henning is great in the ring but something about him is odd. I'm not sure if its his stupid facial expressions in the ring or his awful entrance theme. I'm not sure but he's great in the ring but seriously mic work? Who could ever forget that Genesis of McGuility promo on NXT. I'm not say McIntyre is great on the mic, but he's not as bad as Henning's son

Nice to see People still bashing Hennig for a promo two years ago and refusing to acknowledge his "You're not a Hart" promo from earlier this year that was fucking great.

Kind of how Jericho was terrible on the mic in SMW, and some early ECW/WCW stuff, but no one brings that up. Hennig has used NXT and Superstars to flourish, and I really became a fan of his. His backstage stuff on Youtube shows like Foriegn Exchange, and Inbox have been great as well. I mark out when I see him on a Youtube show because I know it's gonna be a good show. Nice to see Triple H being high on him, and I could see him being on the main roster again soon.

As for Drew...he did miss his chance. I wouldn't be mad if he was given a second (third) chance, but I do think he lost all his fizzle, and is nothing now.

This Triple H/Hennig thing has been reported on for a while now, and I just don't buy it. If Triple H was SO high on McGillicutty, something would have happened by now. Look how fast it took for Sheamus to get pushed to the moon. Look how fast it's taken Sandow to get pushed. 2 guys it's known Triple H is high on. Meanwhile, Hennig's been on NXT and Superstars with no Raw or SmackDown attention for MONTHS. It goes back all the way to late last year. Did Triple H just notice that he likes him a couple of weeks ago?

I mean, come on, "Triple H is pushing for Michael McGillicutty to get re-packaged"? How hard does Triple H have to push? This is the same guy who got the WWE Championship taken away from the FACE OF THE COMPANY, to give to his work out buddy only 2 months after he came to Raw. And yet he has to do all this work to get a guy from NXT so much as a new name and a match against a jobber on Raw. Yeah right.

The "Workout Buddy" winning the title from "The Face of the Company" was the best thing that happened in years for the WWE. People complain that they wanted new stars, and new faces on the World Titles, and WWE actually did it, and it made a star, a GREAT star in the process.

Just because someones on NXT doesn't mean that they're low on them, it means they're trying to get them help. And that's what NXT is doing for people like Kidd and Hennig. It got them noticed. And it's making Drew noticed again as well. NXT is Triple H's baby, It's no surprise that he's starting to take notice of the people running that show. And Hennig is one, if not, the best wrestler on NXT.

No, it wasn't. If they were gonna give it to somebody right off the bat, it should've been Wade Barrett. Sheamus is god damn AWFUL. I'm not one of these idiots who thinks there's such a thing as "too soon", and if somebody comes into the WWE as a main event talent, they should be treated like one immediately, but pick the right guy, not the guy you lift weights with.

And for the record, even though I hate Sheamus, I wasn't even critiquing the decision as it relates to that post, I was simply saying how easy it was for Triple H to get something major done. And yet he can't get this minor thing done? Bullshit.

As for NXT, we're just gonna have to differ on that point. Being on NXT is a definite sign of not caring about somebody, at least in terms of right now. Why do you think Ambrose is the ONE guy in FCW we haven't seen on NXT yet? Because WWE actually is high on him, and once they figure out what they want to do with him, he's bypassing the show alltogether and heading straight to the main roster while the others are stuck there.

I'm curious as to what you even mean by "getting them help". What help? You say he's arguably the best wrestler on the brand, so he doesn't need in ring help, and they obviously don't care about mic skills when they're pushing a guy like Ziggler who can't even get through a sentence without embarassing himself, so what is he lacking that he's not on the roster? What does fucking Tensai of all people, that big fat fucking whale who can't wrestle or talk his way out of a paper bag, and couldn't get heat if they did a storyline where it was revealed he was behind 9/11 have that he doesn't? And don't say size, because there's plenty of small guys there too.
