Why did he flop?
>>
>>20021473
HHH has this weird thing where once someone wins the title, they stop doing anything. Jade has been champ for months and what the fuck has she done, has she even defended it once?
>>
>>20021473
he hasn't changed up his act since returning to WWE except now he can be pinned
>>
>>20021473
He’s not the guy and never will be.

>>20021505
She injured Bfab and Michikn back to back at house shows in January and they did nothing with Jade except one match against Jordynne, and now that Michin and Bfab are back, we find out that they were WAITING for these shitters to come bak to get on with that program while trying to hype up a match with Rhea
I find it absolutely fascinating just how utterly fucked smackdown is, this show is death
>>
>>20021473
They've booked him like absolute ass after the Punk feud
Literal only hot program of these last couple years and they did NOTHING with it
Turned Drew into nothing but a whiner that puts Cody over
Again, Smackdown is death, the roster is abysmal, three quarters of these people should get released right now and the entire creative team for that show shoud be shot

The Drew run probably only happened because Cody made it happen. It succeeded greatly in refreshing the main event scene and introducing new players, but an issue is that he was a smark favorite 'the heel is right' guy who they cheered, which diminished his chance to actually get his own heat as a heel. So, we got what he had thi# Smackdown, and a very silent entrance and the boos only start when he went face to face with Cody, because they are booing the guy facing Cody, not him himself, and the narrative is that 'Drew deserves the run', so... what are you going to do with that?
>>20021505
Drew was constantly involved and the storyline has had progression every week since he won the title.
>>
>>20021605
This is the answer. They can't create stars that draw. That can only draw off the stars that Vince created. This is the present "analytical approach" to booking the company is taking. There is no future.

cody demanded he flop

drew should turn face
the crowds would get behind him as a face
face turn + broken dreams return + not booked like a twerp = more over than cody in a week
>>
>>20021505
they've needed to shuffle the top level women around for a while now, jade's terrible reign is the culmination of this
>tiffany feud way past done
>nobody wants to entertain even the possibility of charles as champ again
>nia is a heel and they need to keep both strong
>michael hayes shut chelseamania down for good
>giulia flopped
>jordynne too new to beat jade in her first defense
>no one lower on the card should be in the world title picture
with no bianca, the only other option was lexi who does not give a fuck and just wants to hang out with charles and get paid
besides jordynne, maybe they could have given charles a filler match, but that's it
rhea coming over will hopefully help this, they should send iyo with her
this is happening with the guys to a lesser extent, drew is the only top heel but stuff often felt stagnant because he wasn't allowed to beat cody until he did, and even when he did there was no one for him to have filler feuds with because cody had to be in the title scene, so it was either setting up his future jobbing to cody or nothing
>>
>>20021753
Every single woman they called up and or pushed has floppa'd besides Chelsea. I think they were testing the waters for her in the main event scene and trying to drum up some support but she got injured.
>>
>>20021695
Drew really should have turned heel after winning. All along he just wanted to be champ without getting screwed, to have a proper run. Sure he was a schizo heel the whole way but winning the belt should have made him see the light. If they still wanted to do Randy/Cody, have Cody win the Chamber, Orton gets Drew and turns heel to win it.
>>
>>20022036
They could still turn Drew face, now. If they set up an arc where he realizes that being a spiteful bitch is what's ruining his chances of staying on top, then the crowd could really get behind him.

>>20021473
Drew will never be booked strong because he committed the cardinal sin of making Roman look weak by actually showing up for work during the scamdemic.
>>
>>20021589
That's Tony levels of "The devil" storyline commitment,and both times for absolute dimeless shitters nonetheless.
>>
>>20022268
What the fuck do you even do after putting the title on dogshit uppity Jade? She can't wrestle at all. She injures people. And you don't have infinite jobbers to give her a squash match streak.
>>
>>20021473
Drew has the size to be a champion, but thats it.
His gimmick is being Scottish.
Cultural gimmicks havent been interesting since the 80's and early 90's.
Like okay we get it Drew, youre Scottish, but what else are you?
Imagine of Rhea Ripley came down to the ring with a Kangeroo and Boomerang, it would be stupid as all hell.
You cant surround your entire character around a single concept like your country, its too one dimensional.
He's also very generic basically I cant really tell the difference between him, roman reigns, fin balor, seth rollins, etc they all have the generic wrestling tough guy phenotype.
His moves also suck, like big boot is a cool big man move, but its a shit finisher. Its a kick, its equal to a punch in terms of lameness. Try something cool like a massive slam. Whats the point of being a massive mother fucker if its not conveyed that way in the ring.
>>
>win the belt from cody
>beat sami
>lose the belt to cody
>>
>>20021596
Holy shit Drew, it's just a fake title.
>>
>>20022036
>Drew really should have turned heel after winning
Bro, he immediately turned on the fans the Smackdown after he won and he was always a psychotic paranoid heel. His circumstances and likeable demeanor outside the script are the only ways in which he was a face.

He's the same shitter as he always was.
>>
>>20021577
This. It's not that he flopped, it's that he was never that good in the first place. He's always been a midcard guy at the very best.
>>
>>20023308
Eat shit, nigger. Drew was fire in the Punk feud.
>>
>>20021753
Jade should've never had the title in the first place. Extremely forced shitter who's constantly been all hype and no delivering.
>>
>>20023358
>muh bracelet
lmao
>>
Baffling, truly baffling how they botch a superstar who has the look, has the charisma and has the ability to such an extent that they've gone out of their way to make him look like a super bitch.
>>
>>20021473
Because being a le epic IWC redditor shitposter isnt an interesting gimmick, and he's boring as fuck
