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. I think he'd be better of as a face, personally. He looks like a face, his characterization of a "heel" is lame and quite frankly, boring. As a face, I think i'd enjoy his matches alot more and he could easily be a brawler or technical.

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? Well usually if the crowd is dead for the majority of the guy's match, then he's obviously not doing something right. Probably the best indicator if a guy is getting over or not.

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. And I hate Morrison for taking away all of Ziggler's momentum... and I hate McIntyre even more for busting in and taking the belt OFF Morrison, when it should be Mr. Ziggles.

I blame Mysterio due to his Wellness suspension.

I wouldn't say he sucks, but he's AS bland as Ted Dibiase or Randy. Fit right in with Legacy, except for the whole second gen. thing.

He does seem to have trouble with the it factor.

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. You pretty much nailed it right there. That's also my reason for having some issues with the guy. McIntyre can be a major threat, but at the moment, he's... meh. He does follow one heel tactic well, and that is to disqualify himself so he can keep his belt. But from both a fan's standpoind AND to a kayfabe standpoint, he's overusing that. To a fan, it's pretty annoying to see this "corporate champion" take the easy path in the last few months, and to a kayfabe standpoint, it's up to the point where you probably have to hope for a no-DQ match just to see someone get at him. I wouldn't say he "sucks", but at the moment, he isn't helping himself much. Then again, his debut also is going to act as a crutch or a source of complaint. Take your pick.

It may be partly that he's the most successful (real) Scotsman ever but I love Drew, He plays a heel role perfectly. I said before that I like him but the only reason I could think of was because he's Scottish. I think he's an alright heel as well. You know I've seen plenty of people (not on here usually) do the "We can't understand his crazy foreign accent!" when if they actually listened, they'd understand him fine. Maybe that's a problem with him getting decent heat.

I agree with the original poster. Drew McIntyre sucks. I'm warming to him slowly, but I think that's simply because of his accent and his entrance music. Nothing else actually impresses me.

I've been underwhelmed by McIntyre so far. I think he should have been given a couple more feuds to establish himself as a contender for the IC title, and show his versatility in the ring. I think that's why people would accept Ziggler as IC champ instead of McIntyre right now, because he was built up and had really good matches with big guys like Kane and Khali, medium guys like Morrison and Hardy, and smaller guys like Mysterio. McIntyre just beat R-Truth and Finlay and then gets the IC title.
