I've never seen so many threads dedicated to a single person over the course of one day. At least six of them are now locked. Amazing. He's officially beaten Mickie, Danielson, and Punk in most threads in a single day. Snitsky would disagree. Seriously, when we moved to proboards, there was a pinned all-purpose Snitsky thread because at the old board there was seemingly a new Snitsky thread every hour.

So wait how come McIntyre gets an all purpose thread but not Punk? Punk doesn't need a thread.... He has the "All Purpose IWC" Mickie and Bryan are also owners of an all purpose IWC.

So, how long until McIntyre becomes the extra option in every poll? I remember the Snitsky era. T'were fun times.

I think some of the threads spawned each other. My Improving McIntyre post was done because of the Blandy McBlanderson thread.
I honestly don't think much of the IWC thinks he's bad persay. It's just there's nothing to him. For me at least to call someone bad you have to be a lot worse than bland and uninteresting.
Here's the first post of the improving McIntyre thread if anyone's interested.
Inspired by the now closed McIntyre Depreciation thread, I'm tossing out some ideas on how to improve McIntyre.
1. Start attacking people before the match. When he was debuting this made no sense, because he'd proved nothing. Now that he has something to lose, the IC title, this would be much more intelligent.
2. Get a bodyguard. Someone to aid in the beatings, to protect him from retribution and to take beatings for him.
3. The piledriver. He has apparently used a piledriver and he seems like the kind of guy who would use a nasty move like that. So they should let him use it. It would put over the Vince's Chosen One thing.
4. Short arm clothesline. It's a simple move, and guys who've used it include Jake Roberts, Vader and JBL. Nasty bastards in other words.
5.McIntyre rules. Again a Vince's chosen thing. Let him make up the rules as he goes along. Don't do it so much as a way to avoid losing though. Do it to make him able to get away with stuff. For example, a match with a lot of brawling on the outside suddenly becomes no countout. Or suppose he Futureshock DDT's Kane on the outside. It'd be hard for a guy McIntyre size to put Kane back in the ring and he wants more than a countout so he calls the ref out of the ring and makes it Falls Count Anywhere.

Seriously people.............8 threads? I mean, is Drew McIntyre really that interesting? no, not really. isn't that the problem? EDIT: but I do like his entrance music. I mean, I wouldn't listen to it in my car or anything, but its really good wrestler entrance music and its pretty unique sounding.

I like his finisher but do not like the name, seems so generic.

So did he get a ton of heat when he came up the first time?
As long as you hate him he's doing his job.

According to Wikipedia, Drew actually had a brief stint on Smackdown in 2007.
Just thought I'd mention.

I still stand by my "Human Giraffe" gimmick idea. No way, the dude is some kind of horse.

His face reminds me of the scene in American Psycho where Patrick Bateman is wearing the peel off facial mask.

Guys I just thought of something: McIntyre = New heel Triple H
Trips is too over and loved to be a good heel now, but McIntyre is so damn hated it seems, just continue to overpush him to a point fans would pay to see him get his neck broken and then BAM!
You got a new heel that the fans legitimately hate and would want to see get his comeuppance. Use this to put over say Gabriel or Bryan and we got a future main-eventer who fans would instantly love anyone who even punches him.

HHH did everything but get away with devouring a newborn child in his heel run. McIntyre...did basically the same stuff the Miz does in a much less interesting way. HHH's character hook wasn't just his uberpush, it was the fact that he was allowed to do absolutely horrible things to people and come off scott free.

Yeah, there's a huge difference between someone you want to see lose and someone you just don't want to see.
For example, I would really like to see John Cena lose his match at Wrestlemania, but I recognize his value to the company and the entertainment he adds to the overall product. I would like to see Drew McIntyre lose his job because I don't think he brings anything to the show except for a 5-minute long walk to the ring and a bathroom break for all in attendance.

I discuss this in another thread with Orton. I hate Orton and tend not to watch him when he's on anymore becaue he annoys the hell out of me. I seriously don't wish to see the guy or hear him talk. However I put him over as the best heel in the business right now. Same thing with HHH. I hardly watch anything he does because he annoys me even though he's a face. I can't stand him. That said I understand the big picture that these guys are liked by the masses. With people's hatred of Drew he is doing his job. Give him time to develp. He's still young.
