Him not being a jobber is being overpushed. Jimmy Wang Yang gets a bigger pop than McIntyre. He's a heel. He's not SUPPOSED to be getting a big pop. If you mean boos wise, if getting the most boos made you the top heel, then John Cena vs Hometown Team Sucks! will headline the next Wrestlemania. What matters is that the fans want to see a guy lose, be beaten, if he is the heel, and with Drew they've accomplished this, even if it has admittedly been slow going at times.

Drew McIntyre should be a lower midcarder, or a member of a tag team. Neither his moveset nor his style cheating really says "I can beat the top guys."

He got a pin drop quiet entrance Against the Undertaker THE UNDERTAKER!! If your getting Conway'd against Taker than you even being there is overpushed If that is happening than there is little that can be done for you. Remember what they tried to do with Kozlov last year? They had him face Taker, HHH, and HBK in an attempt to get him some heat and the crowd could care less. They weren't able to get a reaction or a good match out of him. McIntyre will probably be going the same way Kozlov did.

He gets absolutely no reaction.
He should be jobbing on Superstars.

He's the IC Champion and he's spent most of his time beating up R-Truth, Morrison, and Kane. I don't see how he was over pushed in the first place.

Forget jobbing on Superstars, he should be sent back to FCW until he learns more than 2 moves.

He really, really, REALLY needs to speak louder. There's soft-spoken and there's mumbling, and that old boy was mumbling in his backstage segment with Thaddeus Long.

Forget jobbing on Superstars, he should be sent back to FCW until he learns more than 2 moves. Did you see him wrestle in 2007 when he was first brought up? He was really good. He is being told to wrestle the way he is. Christ, some of you, if it isn't who you want pushed or an Indie Darling, you gripe and moan forever. The guy is far from bad, but how do you expect him to get a reaction when no one gives him anything to do or say that is remotely heelish in terms of actually going after an opponant rather than just getting in to MitB the back way. If they gave him a storyline to see some heat generated, then heat would be generated, but as with all WWE midcarders not named Miz and not left over from the Attitude era, the crowd wont care less about someone whose never had an established storyline for them to get behind.

He is being told to wrestle the way he is. Which leaves me to wonder, why in the HELL would you (if you're WWE Creative) have someone go out there and intentionally look like they're completely worthless as a performer to get heat? Drew has shown absolutely NO talent whatsoever in the past few months, and I'm not sure how much of that is the fault of bad booking or just Drew himself. I think a lot of the boys in the back - from the Drew McIntyres to the Ted DiBiases - should take notes from the CM Punks and Chris Jerichos of the world on how to be both a great heel AND a compelling performer. They shouldn't be afraid to deviate from their scripts to inject some of themselves into their characters.

Him not being future endeavored is being overpushed. Fixed. Seriously. This guy is just awful. Send him back to FCW. No, actually, don't send him to FCW. It just gives him a portal back onto my screen. He needs to be bagging groceries in Scotland.

I wouldn't say he's overpushed. Sheamus is the one they gave a Championship match with Cena right off the bat, and now a match with Trips at Wrestlemania. It took McInboring three tries to get into a match with a bunch of jobbers, and he lost his first spot to Kane.
Also, he's not a heel. That would require the crowd actually noticing him.

I like Drew. I think this is the perfect example of how to do the Chosen One gimmick, I think he's got a great look, awesome theme, and since I'm familiar with his UK work I think he's very charismatic & a good wrestler. Back in the UK he was doing the whole "The Brian Kendrick" thing years before Kendrick did, as "Thee Drew Galloway", which only furthers his Big Kendrick syndrome to me.
So yeah, I think his gimmick's that he's overpushed, but he himself, isn't.

Honestly, I want to say he's not, but with this "I want my loss to be erased from history!!1" whining and crap, I guess he still is. Drew acts like the overly dramatic girls in my class that I get annoyed with.

They give it now thought or time, they throw guys out with gimmicks but dont build or maintain fueds or storylines. They just expect disjointed and stereotypical behaviour to get over without any real work. Seriously, unless you have tenure and/or are a left over from the Attitude era (or your name is Miz) the crowd couldnt care less for any of them, and that isn't the performers fault, it is the fault of pathetic and, in some cases, simply non-existant writing.

If Drew is being used regularly, he's being overpushed.
There's no point.
