He would always come out first, so that when his opponent reached the ring he could wail away on them while they were trying to get into the ring. After the beating, he would easily pin his opponent for a squash win. That wouldn't give the fans any indication of ability to carry a damn match, which -- as it turns out -- means a Hell of a lot to us.
It became one of those horrible situations where we fans hated Drew because he annoyed us, but the WWE kept pushing him because they thought that our boos were endearing.
Drew went to TNA, and he captured lightning in a bottle there. Suddenly he was phenomenal in the ring, he was cutting great promos, and he was putting on a decent amount of muscle.
Now that Drew is back in the WWE, he has to do things the WWE way. The good thing for him is that enough of us know what he's capable of, and we know that he can draw from the top of the card. If he doesn't do well, I'm certain that it's because the WWE creative is going through a pretty bad phase right now.
Raise your glasses everyone. A TOAST TO DREW!
