Drew McIntyre has no moveset. All he does is punch. Maybe a clothesline. Then his Kobashi DDT.

...coming from the guy with Tommy Dreamer as his avatar. I think they have about the same amount of moves.
Drew McIntyre does not suck. He works as a heel, The biggest reason being that chances are if you are reading this McIntyre is 10x more of a hunk than you are. He's a big, muscular, handsome guy with pretty hair. Think of the beautiful women you could be hanging out with and the things you could be doing if you were Drew McIntyre. Now, some of you might be thinking "But Mickey & Sylvia, I post here, and I'm a muscular hunk who hangs out with beautiful women all the time! Well, maybe not me...but a guy I know". Be that as it may, I think I made my point. Furthermore, McIntyre is an imposing figure who looks like he could beat someone like Tommy Dreamer half to death in about ten seconds, and even though we all know wrestling is a work that should still count for something IMO.

I'm not impressed with what I've seen so far but I wouldn't say he sucks. He's just kinda...there.

Big Kendrick is awesome. And a really nice guy to boot (meet him once).

Be that as it may, I think I made my point. Furthermore, McIntyre is an imposing figure who looks like he could beat someone like Tommy Dreamer half to death in about ten seconds, and even though we all know wrestling is a work that should still count for something IMO. Yes, he's a very handsome, clean-shaven fellow. Which is already a mark against his heel character, a guy who is the enemy of fun and will explain why he hates fun so much in a slow, dragging speech. He does also NOT carry himself like a hunk. Even though he is a tall fellow and at 250 pounds, definitely not a featherweight, his gangly limbs and stooped posture make him almost Orton-like, to look like he's a slithering snake, or something. The problem is, he doesn't act like a deceptive slithering snake. He talks like the guy who wants to put an end to your fun. Very slowly in an indoors voice. He also doesn't wrestle like a deceptive slithering snake. He wrestles like a brawler, and not a very good one. He doesn't carry himself in an imposing manner or lay in with a couple of clean, impactful shots that knocks his opponents flat on their backs. Instead, it's just normal-looking punch, normal-looking punch, normal-looking punch, normal-looking punch, normal-looking punch, normal-looking punch, normal-looking punch, normal-looking punch, then Morrison falls down at some point. Austin, JBL, and Finlay were believable brawlers because that's how they carried themselves, tall, upright muscle men who rained down blows on their opponents. And their punches and kicks didn't look like openers softening up their opponents for something else. Their brawling was actually believable as the core of their offense. In pretty much every TV match so far, McIntyre has just been doing normal-looking punch, normal-looking punch, normal-looking punch, normal-looking punch, normal-looking punch, normal-looking punch, normal-looking punch, normal-looking punch, DDT. While being all hunched over.

It may be partly that he's the most successful (real) Scotsman ever but I love Drew, He plays a heel role perfectly.

I hate when people use the phrase "He can't work", how are we supposed to know who can "work" or not, when we've never been in the ring with them?
He's most likely being booked as a very strict brawler and that's all we're allowed to see. Because all of his matches resolve around PUNCH, PUNCH, KICK, MORE PUNCHES, DOUBLE ARM DDT. And people are actually saying that as a professional wrestler himself, that's ALL he can do?

I don't know what "people" are saying, but what I'm saying is, regardless of Drew's potential and his past indy work, a couple of boring punches is all he DOES do in WWE right now. Which is part of why his WWE run sucks. I'd be very happy to see him do some actual wrestling. It might even help him get over.

Drew isn't compelling enough as a character to get over with a punchy moveset, but I think the real reason alot of people have problems with him is he was practically shoved down the audience's throat as FUTURE WWE CHAMP DREW MCINTYRE.

Apparently Triple H, HBK, Vince, and Finlay are really high on him. They are? Nice. Off topic note: Is there a way to put a Name when you post on a forum instead of your username appearing? If so, how?

every now and then he shows flashes of being really charismatic or having a good connection with the crowd but overall he's just been a big pile of meh. he's not bad by any means, i've enjoyed some of his matches, but he isn't that special either. maybe eventually he will be, but right now i just don't think he stands out enough to be getting the megapush he is. if it were up to me, him and zach ryder would swap places, and maybe McIntyre would get an IC title run later on, but right now, he's just kinda... there. i'd boo him if he was against someone i liked, but other than that he doesn't really make me want to react as a fan.
maybe he'd be better if he bacame a face and stopped acting like randy orton, because he sells well and is alot more interesting when wrestling a faster, "babyface" style. and if he's getting this level of push, he must have impressed someone somewhere.

I'm not going to say that the guy can't work, but I do find him extremely bland. A million times this... He's got such a great look. Just missing the exciting in-ring action, mic skills, charisma, personality, character, etc..

I honestly hate this guy for taking away all of Morrison's momentum.
Sure I could blame the WWE for even giving JoMo the IC title, but there are so many better ways to drop it. They could even have had him hold the World and IC title if they were truly behind him.

i hadn't realised the crowd wasnt in to him........they always seem to boo in the right places..... The sneaky Smackdown editing team strikes again, I'm afraid. My opinion on the guy is that he's... okay... but I can't see what elevates him above the other OVW/FCW rejects in Vince's eyes. Vince is so out of touch he probably doesn't even remember when Drew debuted first time round.

He's...okay, but I wish we could see more out of him in-ring. Seems like he'd be better off as a technical wrestler than a brawler type.
Plus, his promos are quiet as hell.
