Anyone noticed this about Abyss?

[Futureraven: Beelzebruv]

I was just thinking today, he's been given a very similar angle to Drew McIntyre, with similar results.

Both are men chosen by a high profile executive in the company who are pushed even when they don't have the in ring success to back it up (talking about the last few months for Abyss, I know he's a former champion).

In both cases it's produced apathy or negative reactions.

After all, who these days wants to pick the guy specifically chosen, who they've been told 'like it or not, he has pull with the office'.

Who is Drew McDonald?

[Futureraven: Beelzebruv]

Fixed lol see what I mean about apathy? Got his name mixed up with an old British wrestler.

McIntyre hasn't been anywhere near the bomb Abyss has been. At worst I don't care one way or the other about McIntyre, and he at least did a decent beatdown on Matt Hardy.

[cabbageboy]

Of course, McIntyre is also a HEEL. A heel being the "chosen one" makes sense, but a monster babyface?

[Trent Valentine]

Not to mention Drew isn't a 300 pound retard who thinks a ring is magical..but I can see a lot of good comparisons.

Hard to pass off Abyss as thinking the ring is magical when hes stated in a promo directly that the ring is not magical

Hogan choo-choo chose him, and it had a picture of a train(wreck)

Drew's at least only a midcarder with a next to meaningless belt while Abyss is forced upon us like McDonald's Ronald.

[Lenny: Smooth like Keith Stone]

Drew McDonald got a push, E-I-E-I-O
And with this push he got a belt, E-I-E-I-O

[Cyno]

Drew bores the hell out of me while Abyss flat out insults me. I'm not sure what's worse.

[CJ Denton is Egon]

At least Drew isn't hogan by Proxy.

I think vince needs to come out on RAW and give Drew a HOF ring. Then Drew can start running around in yellow and red acting like Hogan.

[Krimzon]

If there was a gun to my head, I'd pick McIntyre over Abyss 10 out of 10 times. McIntyre may be dull and boring, Abyss is simply insufferable.

[Futureraven: Beelzebruv]

Well, he might have said he doesn't think it's magic, but how does he act in matches? You can't just have someone say something then act completely the opposite.

That promo was cut well after the fact in an obvious attempt to do damage control for this pitiful storyline.

[Kevin Hamilton]

For me, Mcintyre is just sorta there; I can really take or leave, and though I'm not a fan I don't really dislike him either.

Abyss in this incarnation, and really for the last couple of years has actively annoyed me to where I switch channels.

Hogan said lets "Bee" friends and it had a picture of a bee.
