The guy was given the best gimmick you could possibly get , to be hand picked by the boss himself as main event guy a future champion and yet he is used to squash other talents an nothing else. And that never leads to anything , i think the guy should be repackaged but not before going back to OVW for some more promo/in ring training. The guy has potential , i just don't see it being show anytime soon.

I see a lot of people here saying he should be a ladies man face... could be worth a try, I think.

"Give me the spotlight, 'cause this is my night, and I'm gonna --" GO TO SLEEP! GO TO SLEEP! GO TO SLEEP! ANACONDA VICE! GO TO SLEEP! GO TO SLEEP! GO TO SLEEP!
Yeah, I don't think "Boss's chosen one" has ever worked out.

He's over just fine. Even if no one boos during his entrance, people boo him just fine while he's in the ring. It's like how everyone is mostly silent during Bryan's entances: it's not the kind of music to pop for.

Did you watch the live Smackdown when he wrestled Kaval? He got a lot of heat. Every time I read a report they always say he gets plenty of boo's.
People on the internet do not like McIntyre so they would lead you to believe that he gets zero reaction. But, ya know, that Zack Ryder that everyone loves so much gets near riot levels of heat. And Dolph Ziggler before he was paired with Vickie got heat comparable to a thousand burning suns.

A cocky lady's man who backs up his words , he needs a serious story not just beating up randoms for the hell of it . |

Nothing wrong with Drew's booking - they're keeping him dominant so that when he faces someone of merit the crowd wants him to get his ass kicked |

Honestly, I only really brought it up to mention I'm fairly certain Elijah Burke has gone to sleep so much he's legally a narcoleptic. |

I think Drew has talent and in all honesty I can see him in the US title picture of the IC title picture. Perhaps he should be allowed to do more of what he wants? Problem with the WWE is that the promos are written by Hollywood writers, the characters are watered down, and they're not able to get themselves over in the fashion that's provided.
Maybe Drew should be given some leeway and get over as a sadistic/cold heel maybe? He definitely has the look for it.

Drew's gimmick is he beats the hell out of people mercilessly as Striker or whoever proclaims he's the "Chosen One." Personally I think he stinks, but its clear he has some fans. |

OVW, maybe....a few years ago. What we're seeing now is what FCW did for him.
And a lot of us have seen the video from YouTube. He has some personality. Why they won't let him show it, I'll never know.

He's supposed to be the chosen one but really what has he done the last few months? Shouldn't he be kicking up more of a fuss if he's Vince's favourite wrestler?

He hasn't had a major storyline in months, that's why.
Pity, because I've been turning the corner on Drew. At first I didn't get him, but he's expanded his moveset a lot and he clearly has the right heel mannerisms down.

A lot of talent has been jobbed out or had their pushes stalled and halted in order to make people care about him, inlcuding those who looked on the verge of reaching the upper level. R-Truth, John Morrison, Finlay, Matt Hardy, Kofi Kingston, Kane, MVP, and a lot of others had their momentum stopped so Vince's Pick can get over and he has yet to develop anything.

I think Drew is fine right now. Some people fail to see the improvement in him since he got to the WWE. He's been constantly improving every week. I don't think anything needs to change with him at the moment.

You may not be able to see much now, but I think for the last few weeks they're laying the foundation of the one thing Drew needed, character development.
Even though he was the "Choosen One," he just did standard heel stuff, and had standard heel matches. NOW he's started to amp it up (notwithstanding his debuting matches, where he blindsided his opponents before the bell). There gonna make him more sinister.
What I see them doing now is grooming him to be more of a threat and, within a few months time, you're gonna get a lenghty Drew/Edge feud, title or no title, Wrestlemania or no Wrestlemania. Mark my words.

I adore him, quite simply.
I think he just needs more opportunity to show personality, because he seems to have been doing a great job of getting heat lately.
And a ladies man gimmick would totally work. As a lady-type, while I don't crush on him (like I do Mr Barrett *cough cough*), I have to admit, he is the best looking guy on the entire roster and has the charisma to back it up.
