Am I the only one thinking this?
At first I thought they were just doing cheap endings to all the matches with Morrison because they were going for cheap heat, but once I watched the no DQ match, I realized the real reason: McIntyre can't work. It always looks like he's being carried.
On top of that, his promos are bland and uninspired. (And I know someone's gonna come in and make a PARTY'S OVER joke. And it'll be just as lame as when he said it in real life.)
Now can someone tell me why this guy deserves to be Intercontinental Champion?

He does absolutely nothing for me. I've heard from a few friends that he was supposedly pretty good in FCW, but I've yet to see that myself. I laughed when they were trying to push him as someone intimidating against Finlay.

Can't work?
Foreshame. He's a better worker than Morrison, and maybe if he wasn't being forced into a template, he could show it.

I watched the No DQ match last night. It was the first and only Drew McIntryre match I've ever seen.
Gotta tell ya, I ain't impressed, fella.

Well, McIntyre did have a test run back in 2007, where he was Dave Taylor's "apprentice". That didn't work out that well.
Personally, McIntyre can improve, but fans generally detest the "corporate champion" (not when the Rock won, but more of the concept of a guy hand-picked and put on a pedistal), which is pretty much how McIntyre started this current run.

I'm not going to say that the guy can't work, but I do find him extremely bland.

Well, after watching that... He wasn't "bad", per se, but he was still kind of generic. Although, from that, I do feel that he'd be better as a face than heel. [heel commentary mode] Even if he is a woman beating terrorist. [/HCM] |

I liked that NO-DQ Match last night but if Drew was being carried than Morrison really sucks at it

Am I the only one who hates the phrase "am I the only one"? Seriously, its a huge writing crutch around here, and half the time, there are plenty of people who agree with the opinion.

Hey, don't break up the pa're.
But seriously, I don't see what makes him different from the other generic FCW guys other than that he's Scottish. Maybe he was more that just "Mr. McMahon's handpicked guy", I'd care.

No, no. He can work. He's just terrible in his current, no-moves-having gimmick. Foreshame. He's a better worker than Morrison Bzzt, not even close to right. Even though Drew has had good matches in the indies, Morrison has also evolved past his ECW and Dirt Sheet days. He puts on the most exciting matches on Smackdown and is flat-out one of the best workers in the company. Not only is he an excellent high flyer, he is a scary bump machine and a terrific seller. |

I actually like Drew McIntyre quite a bit. I haven't seen a whole lot of him, but I actually thought he did pretty well in his No DQ match with Morrison. He could obviously use a little character development, but that will come with time.
I'll say this: I'd much prefer him as the "Chosen one" over Sheamus.

He's OK, I like his music and his accent, he isn't the greatest in the ring but I like the fact the IC belt is on somebody who actually needs it for the first time in a while.

His facials during his promos look like he is struggling to take a dump.

He looks like a giant beampole in trunks. I see exactly zero appeal to him, and in the Rumble when he walked out to the ring I thought I'd never seen a wrestler who looked as boring.
Seriously. Lance Storm's boring gimmick was like... more interesting than this.
The guy has no gimmick. We live in a world of 'wrestler's gimmick is his own name for some reason.'

Apparently Triple H, HBK, Vince, and Finlay are really high on him.
