Typical Smackdown... Boring.

Poor Drew...

Sheamus vs Drew McIntyre-if done properly,would be one of the best matches of the year. But clearly WWE don't care and are dragging this crap with McIntyre out,so whatever.

I think Drew's getting the MVP push from a few years ago. MVP was a heel, and jobbed for 16 weeks in a row on Smackdown... He subsequently turned face, and started getting over again... Leading to another U.S.Title run. I think Drew's getting the same thing.

Sheamus vs Drew McIntyre-if done properly,would be one of the best matches of the year. But clearly WWE don't care and are dragging this crap with McIntyre out,so whatever.

WWE doesn't let these guys show half of what they can actually do. They'd rather have Hornswoggle, or Santino on TV embarrassing themselves for the sake of "Entertainment". What's even more sad is Santino's actually a decent wrestler...

In IWW Sheamus vs Drew could honestly be considered the "match of the year" if they copied one match exactly. My friend is trying to upload it to youtube,but she is having difficulties. She got one up already but it does not include Drew,he is on commentary.
