Drew McIntyre title reign appreciation thread

[4real]

The thread where we share memories of Drew McIntyre’s historic World title reign, ending the near year long reign of the first ever champ Seth Rollins.

I loved when Seth acknowledged the true chief of WWE Drew McIntyre

[Lizuka #BLM]

I loved when Drew acted way too sensual about climbing over the announce table.

i would've loved a long drew reign but this is absolutely how it had to go. haters are great but every hater has a bigger hater right behind them.

Drew McIntyre rules.

He needs music with lyrics.

As soon as he started taunting Punk I knew his reign was about to end.

I thought punk was going to get a lap dance out of it

Don't threaten me with a good time, brother!

I don't know how he did it, but Drew topped Charlotte in 2019 for best four-minute reign. History.

My man just couldn’t resist the urge to be a hater and it cost him. Poetry.

[Cranjis McBasketball]

Perfect length of a reign. Squeezed every ounce of entertainment he could out of it.

[Stu]

No clue if it's legit or they're playing along, but his brother tweeted they left Wrestlemania early in protest.

Leave the memories alone

[Hulkshi Tanahashi]

I'll never forget where I was during McIntyre's reign:

I was at home watching Star Trek because I forgot it was Mania Weekend and didn't even realized McIntyre had won and lost the title in the same night until I read on Wikipedia. Good times.

[Perd]

It was brief. But he spent almost every second of it hatin'. And that’s what really matters.

[Jindrak Mark]

It wouldn’t shock me if he signed a new deal weeks/months back and the news didn’t leak yet and he wins the title at Clash at the Castle. Even if Seth was hurt from night 1 I don’t think under any circumstances I’d have one of my top guys lose clean on the big show to a guy who could be about to leave. Unless it was purely a goodwill gesture on the way out to give him that brief moment in front of fans with the title since he never got it in 2020.

The wrestling media didn’t report on Bayley and Charlotte signing new deals until months after the fact and they were even umming and ahhing about whether Cody had officially put pen to paper or not for a while. It’s not really in Drew’s interests to announce if he has. His almost loose cannon type character right now benefits from this air of uncertainty and gives no f***s attitude.

Also, Drew vs Punk at Summerslam absolutely does not need the title. Priest vs Finn probably wouldn't either, and I think that's the way it'll go. I could also see Finn winning MITB which could be fun.
