He won the Rumble in 2020 and main evented WrestleMania beating Brock Lesnar clean for the WWE Championship.I think he's great, but compared to others who have gone through the gauntlet of Rumble, Mania main event and big win he never seemed able to consistently stay up there as a big star.I don't know if it's because he's British so there's a disconnect with the American fans, or bad booking, Covid fucking him or if he just doesn't have the IT factor...What exactly is holding him back, or is he just not capable of being the level of 'main event but not top guy'-type like an Orton, Punk, Seth, Edge etc?
>>18828561He's like a lot of the fake main eventers Vince had in the 00s and 10s. He just doesn't have it. He's an Edge. He's a guy who can play pretend main eventer if need be, but he's not a difference maker.
>>18828561Yes. It needed to happen. Given Drew’s path if it hadn’t happened then we likely wouldn’t be talking about the guy in a main event context today. The timing of it with the pandemic was a shame, but it was an entirely valid and successful run from that Rumble to him beating Brock. Having him lose to Orton was more than questionable though and the fact that Drew’s peak coincided with the start of the Bloodline was the most damning part of it all. Regardless he’s a solidified main event guy. Losses don’t hurt him as we’ve seen over the past few years now. All they have to do is give him a win or two and he’s an instantly credible challenger to the world title >>18828727Bad take. Edge is absolutely a main event guy. He main evented two Wrestlemanias. That alone sets him apart from the point you’re trying to make. He’s carried shows. He’s been world champion as a face and as a heel. He may not have been the face of the company, but he was THE guy for babyfaces to feud with across the mid to late 2000s. Cena, Undertaker, Batista, Shawn, Rey, Orton, Benoit, Van Dam, Kane, etc. any babyface name worth a damn during those years feuded with Edge
Drew is top guy material and he's proven it over and over. They really should just have him beat Cody even if it's just for a short run.
>>18828561>because he's British so there's a disconnect with the American fansDrew is Scottish, dumbassEither way I don't see how being British is some sort of disconnect with American fans, several of WWE's biggest stars are Canadian so nationality isn't a factor
>>18829186>Drew is Scottish, dumbassThird world foreign education and double-digit IQ, everyone. Unless you're a skirt-wearing faggot still seething after all this time.
>>18829223Britain consists of England Scottland and Ireland you fucking retard
>>18829241No shit, you stupid jeet. If you're from Scotland you are British, retard. Keep coping.
>>18828561Corona virus really did fuck his run over
Vince pushed a guy in his mid 30s who looked great and got a clue. Drew backs it up in the ring and on the mic. Its sad to see how bad things have gone for him.
>>18828561All the good points have already been made ITT. Great athlete, good look, he's intense, good promos and paid his dues. But he was put behind people like Rollins who danced around in outfits and did the same flippy moves for years in the ring.There must be some reason the office stopped looking at him so fondly. Sad thing is, if there was anywhere else to go, he would go there.
Him winning the title was the end of PG era. The lockdown happened.Brock fucked off to his farm. Fans weren't allowed in the arena.It's over. Wrestling never recovered.
>>18828561He carried last year’s best feud. He’s been fucked over time and time again.
>We are now in the "he was never actually good" phase of a WWE burial
Hw wasn't that over so no
Drew is, always was and always will be a shitter that sounds like Mr Krabs
>>18832474Drew spent 10 months being Punk's whipping boy, barely ever getting one over on him.
>>18828561He was super over just before covid
>>18834581Yeah, that's the shit booking part. Drew was one of the most entertaining things in WWE during that time.
