The Blue Brand Wrestling Blog #4 - Drew McIntyre

The Blue Brand Wrestling Blog

THEBLUEBRANDWRESTLINGBLOG.BLOGSPOT.COM

The Blue Brand Wrestling Blog #4

Drew McIntyre

Hey there guys & girls,

I’m Andy Mac, AKA The Blue Brand owner and creator (@The_Blue_Brand) on X / Twitter. I thought I would delve into the world of blog writing and what better thing to write about than my favourite pastime Professional Wrestling.

Today I thought I’d discuss WWE Superstar, Scotland & the UK’s own Drew McIntyre. His WWE accomplishments include –

WWE Championship (2 times)

WWE Intercontinental Championship (1 time)

NXT Championship (1 time)

WWE (Raw) Tag Team Championship (2 times) – with Cody Rhodes (1) and Dolph Ziggler (1)

31st Triple Crown Champion

Men's Royal Rumble (2020)

No doubt this list of WWE achievements is impressive, but these obviously don’t include his many titles won on the independent scene.

I had the urge to write about McIntyre after seeing his recent performances on WWE Raw and interactions with Riddle and Xavier Woods. Finally, after what feels like quite a long time it feels like he has some direction and that we’re moving towards a heel turn. A heel turn in my opinion is badly needed to refresh his character, not that I think his character becoming stale has anything to do with the man himself.

WWE needs to take some responsibility for this and well of course, the covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021 didn’t help his cause either.

McIntyre returned to the company and did a good job on NXT in 2017, winning the title there before moving to the main roster and teaming up with Dolph Ziggler (I quite liked this alliance). So here we are, heading towards the 2020 Royal Rumble, Drew is starting to get cheers, doing the countdown to the claymore kick which the crowd instantly gets behind. He’s got the look; he can talk, and he can undoubtedly work. He wins what is arguably one of the best Royal Rumble matches of recent times (Brock tore through the roster, Edge returned etc…)

So, you would naturally think that Drew McIntyre is heading towards WrestleMania against Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship in the main event. Finally, he’s going to fulfil his destiny as the ‘chosen one’ and be the man in front of a huge WrestleMania crowd…. Then covid happens and ruins the entire thing. He ends up still winning the title, but he wins his first long awaited WWE Championship against Brock at WrestleMania in the WWE Performance Centre in front of nobody. I remember watching the documentary WWE produced around Drew, he was clearly disappointed about this, not that it was anyone else’s fault, and nothing could be done to change what happened at the time.

After holding the title during the pandemic era, defending it within the WWE Performance Centre and the WWE Thunderdome (Losing it once to Randy Orton before winning it back not long after) covid moved on, the world moved forward, but Drew McIntyre felt like somewhat of an afterthought. Post pandemic on WWE Raw, the show he was drafted to, Bobby Lashley, Big E and then Brock Lesnar were the title holders before Roman Reigns unified the WWE & Universal Championships. Meanwhile Drew drifted, still over as a babyface but it felt like his time to be ‘the man’ had been and gone whilst nobody was allowed in person to come and watch it all unfold.

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed his challenge against Roman Reigns at Clash at the Castle 2022 and his feud with Sheamus and Gunther for the WWE Intercontinental Championship, but apart from that it feels like he’s been treading water for quite some time. The two above feuds took place after he was drafted to SmackDown, but apart from these two feuds it didn’t feel like much else happened for McIntyre.

I’ve been a huge fan of Drew McIntyre since he debuted on SmackDown when Vince McMahon announced him as the chosen one. When he went on to win the Intercontinental Championship, join 3MB and get released, I kept an eye on him and enjoyed his work with TNA. When he eventually made his way back to WWE and looked like he was finally going to be treated as the star that he is I was elated.

If the news and rumours are true and he is about to turn heel then I couldn’t be more excited. It will be exactly the shot of adrenaline his character needs. Make him driven to be relevant again at the top of WWE’s roster, upset at his glory and crowning moments being in front of nobody and how he feels forgotten and betrayed by the company and fans. The story is there, it’s easy. Drop the Scottish gimmick with the kilt, the bagpipe music (Any excuse to use the ‘Broken Dreams’ entrance song again!) and make Drew McIntyre into a monster heel!

Anyway, I’ll stop rambling on now. Thanks for checking this fourth blog out. I’m a self-confessed WWE fanboy, always have been since I started watching WWE as a child. However, as you can hopefully and probably tell I’m trying to broaden by Professional Wrestling palate and horizons. If there is anything else you can recommend, I’m open to suggestions. I’m taking a break from my 9-5 office job at the moment and trying to fill my time!

Please leave feedback, if it’s constructive then I’ll always appreciate it. I’m always happy to learn and to become better. Please keep it respectful though, everyone is entitled to an opinion.

Take it easy guys,

Andy

WWE Clash at the Castle (2022) - REVIEW

BUILD-UP

Clash at the Castle represents WWE's first stadium based event since SummerSlam (1992) and their first general PPV since One Night Only (1997) which I was lucky to be in attendance. I very nearly bought tickets for the event itself however there were a few factors that ultimately persuaded me to watch the event from the comfort of my own home. Clash at the Castle doesn't sound as tantalizing a prospect or carry the prestigious weight of a SummerSlam, but there's still nothing quite like a WWE Stadium event and then there's the card itself to consider.

THE CARD

The card isn't overly stacked with just seven matches but each of them has enough heat to keep the audience invested in their respective stories and stakes. There are a few notable admissions such as AJ Styles, Bobby Lashley, Karrion Kross (sort of), Kevin Owens, Ronda Rousey and even the newly crowned Women's Tag Team Champions. I personally feel that there was room for a couple more but on the flip side a few of them had the potential to be Match of the Night.

Roman Reigns vs Drew McIntyre has long been overdue since their Survivor Series 2020 encounter and should've been the main event at WrestleMania. Reigns/McIntyre is the centre piece of Clash at the Castle rightly so but there is definitely appetite for change and the timing feels right for McIntyre to be propelled back to the top.

Bayley, Io Sky and Dakota Kai have injected much needed momentum into the women's division but the pairing of Asuka and Alexa Bliss has never quite worked for me with Bliss in particular lacking direction with her character at the moment. WWE Creative have done a great job building the 6 person tag team matches while Seth Rollins vs. Matt Riddle has show stealer written all over it.

THE SHOW

The show itself was well paced and didn't feel too long with each match given the time to develop into something special. Not every match quite managed to be a five star classic but there were no duds either. The post-match segment following the Main Event with Tyson Fury felt very odd and I find it strange that the show didn't go off the air since there wasn't anything meaningful in that segment.

MATCH 1: Bianca Belair, Asuka & Alexa Bliss vs. Bayley, Io Sky & Dakota Kai

This was the right match to open the show with and it didn't disappoint. Coming off the back of a surprising defeat in the Women's Tag Title tournament, this is the perfect opportunity to propel this new trio who also receive a new name. The match itself was a good opener with a good showing from all participants. The heel Bayley at odds and trying to play down the pro-Bayley chants of the British crowd was amusing to see. The result for me was of no surprise and made sense in the grand scheme of things to give the returning and well balanced trio of Bayley, Sky and Kai some momentum. Sure it's another loss for Asuka & Bliss but Bianca Belair has been on fire this year and this result sets up the inevitable clash with Bayley down the road.

WINNERS - Bayley, Io Sky & Dakota Kai via pinfall

3/5

MATCH 2: Intercontinental Championship Match - Gunther (c) vs. Sheamus

This was a match I was anticipating as I felt could offer up something special and I was not proven wrong. I've been a fan of Gunther since his NXT UK Imperium days and I think WWE have done very well with him since his elevation to the main roster. This is the sort of match I was expecting and Sheamus was the perfect choice as both are well matched and their styles compatible. The match itself was physical and brutal; it told a great story, it didn't overstay its welcome and it had the right result. The crowd was rightfully behind this and gave Sheamus a deserved standing ovation. For me this stole the show.

WINNER - Gunther (c) via pinfall

4.5/5

MATCH 3: Smackdown Women's Championship Match - Liv Morgan (c) vs. Shayner Bazler

I feel a little bit sorry for Liv Morgan because as much as she is a tryer and a hard worker, she doesn't quite convince as women's champion as much as she does as underdog chaser. Shayner Bazler on the other hand has long been underserved on the main roster with a misjudged debut at Elimination Chamber that fizzled out after WrestleMania 36. That Bazler hasn't been elevated to a major star on the roster and hasn't had the big PPV matches with the likes of Rousey, Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks is criminal. Sadly this match won't do anything to improve that but it is one that makes Morgan look stronger and more convincing as champion. It's a decent enough match but the crowd never felt to be truly invested and the whole thing felt a little flat. That in itself is disappointing as both delivered enough to warrant more of a reaction.

WINNER - Liv Morgan (c) via pinfall

2.5

MATCH 4: Edge & Rey Mysterio (with Dominik Mysterio) vs. The Judgment Day (with Rhea Ripley)

This match might've generated more interest for me had the Judgment Day been booked as a greater threat. Going into this we have seen both Edge and the Mysterios pick up wins against the Judgement Day and even here they lose again. For a faction that had so much initial promise when Edge, Priest and Ripley were members, this feels like a missed opportunity although not on the same level as Retribution. The match itself here was good with all participants on fine form with enough thrills and moments to keep the audience fully invested. The twist of Dominik's turn against Edge and his father was perfectly timed and gave it a belated lift. But for me the result should've gone the other way.

WINNERS - Edge and Rey Mysterio via pinfall

3.5/5

MATCH 5: Seth 'Freaking' Rollins vs. Matt Riddle

This match had a long standing and excellent build up with a long personal rivalry involved. Featuring one of the best standing wrestlers of WWE in Seth Rollins against the up and coming Matt Riddle who has enjoyed a tremendous run with Randy Orton; this match perhaps more than all the others has Match of the Night written all over it. It didn't disappoint in the slightest with both competitors made to look strong and tell a story in the ring that was in tune with their long standing rivalry. Rollins' Elton John ring gear made me laugh out loud but after selflessly putting over Cody Rhodes 3 times in a row in 3 outstanding matches, Rollins deserved the win here. Both men came out looking great, it's position on the card felt more than justified and is definitely one of the best matches of the night.

WINNER - Seth 'Freaking' Rollins via pinfall

4/5

MAIN EVENT: Undisputed Universal Championship Match - Roman Reigns (c) vs. Drew McIntyre

This is the match the whole event was built around and it delivered everything a classic main event needed except one thing ... the right result. I'm not dissing Roman Reigns, I think his run since he debuted the Tribal Chief gimmick has been outstanding. He's delivered quality match after match and his 2 year reign is both credible and destined for legendary status. But if you're going to pass the torch to someone else then I can't think of anyone more deserving and an event more suitable to do so than for Drew McIntyre. The crowd would've loved it, the match deserved it, Tyson Fury's knock out of Austin Theory's cash in was genius so I cannot understand why you wouldn't drop at least one of the belts to McIntyre. The result unfortunately undermines the legacy of the event with a program that didn't offer up much in the way of truly great twists or surprises. Reigns is a great champion and McIntyre doesn't come off looking weak. But the result sadly makes Clash at the Castle feel like a filler event even if the matches in general were of general excellent quality.

WINNER - Roman Reigns (c) via pinfall.

4.5/5

NXT World's Collide - Initial Thoughts

Now to part 2 of 3

In NXT UK's last hurrah before taking a hiatus and becoming NXT Europe, what remains of the UK roster are to be integrated into the normal NXT, including their titles. The World's Collide event sees NXT UK cross NXT in battle in our second PPV of the Weekend, All Out will be (somehow) fitted in tomorrow

Spoilers for the PPV

No matches for the Kick-Off, bit remiss given how it's only a small card

Starting with NA title with Pretty Ricky, but Melo with the hanged jerseys mind games, Sikoa among the shirts, Melo has the NA title decal on his knee pad too

The two are very clean in their wrestling, a great double springboard cutter to cancel each other out popped the crowd

Also Stu Bennett has been great on commentary

Melo wasn't sneaky leaving his foot out for Trick to pull like half an inch XD

Good match, probably could've benefitted from story, Trick did bide Melo time but it was the paul smackage when Ricochet landed on his feet for the Shooting Star Press

Oh, so Roddy's dead

There are a lot of bodies for this four way

Ahhh Briggs and Jensen eliminated first by Gallus, so much for the NXT UK Tag Champions

That alliance between PD and Gallus didn't last

Creeds then eliminate Gallus, who don't leave quietly

Julius' hot tag was great

The eliminated teams are fighting in the ramp for some reason which leads to a le sigh ref bump

Kemp then of course uses this to turn on the Creeds

Urgh they had to go with the Zoolander Twins, where was Brutus throughout all of this?

The same promos from Clash are on NXT, does WWE think that we don't watch both?

Tony D'Angelo trying to validate the fact that he lost LDF doesn't work, but he looks to be trying to side with Cameron Grimes who blows him off

You make Meiko come out first!?

Bit too much smoke for Bea/Blair

Mandy arrives in a...car? Sporting USA attire

Someone is screaming far too much

Yeah that list doesn't do Mandy favours

Reminder that Meiko is 42 years old and still amazing

Bit dumb though to wait for Mandy to pose and not take advantage of it

Mandy's gear seems to be struggling to contain her girls

KAMIGOYE! Only 2

Of course the fickleness of American crowds that they will cheer anyone American against non-Americans

And Rose *URGH* wins, Meiko hits the Scorpion Rising on Blair and after having to set her up, Rose hits both with the running knee

I am absolutely fucking baffled that between Bea Preistley and MEIKO SATOMURA, WWE choose Mandy Fucking Rose to still be their champion

Why do I even bother? They made her beat Raquel, KLR and Io after all, I just expected the better wrestler to win

They moved Axiom vs Nathan Frazer to Wednesday :/

Just be Nikki Cross and Piper Niven already!

First to challenge all active women's championships but won nothing in NXT

Chance is literally so mini compared to Doudrop XD

Toxic Attraction make a distraction which occupied Nikki so that KC2 can beat Piper, even though Piper proved able to handle both women previously in the match

That's 3/4 interferences btw, plus Nikki could've made it, weak match really

Main Roster bias made the tag champs look weak as it is

The Dyad are just weird, why couldn't we have the Grizzled Young Vets?

Still not sure how I feel about Bate with the long Jesus hair

Of course my internet chooses the main event to start blipping out and killing the vid quality, I've seen the buffer bar longer than I saw Bate's entrance

Never been done? Titles have been unified from two different brands and even companies for like decades

Bronn's shoulder was well up from that Airplane Spin slam

Bronn kicks out of the Tyler Driver 97 but Bate gets to the ropes for the Gorilla Powerslam

Bate forgoes the second Tyler Driver attempt to try his rebound Shotei and runs into a spear to lose

Least Tyson Fury didn't come out to sing American Pie, but again it was just, fine? I guess I never quite bought that NXT would give it to Bate

There's something missing as well, I can't quite explain it but it's like that buzz in my chest that makes me into it, Bate and Bronn are great workers, but I feel like they could've done a lot more

Conclusion

Honestly, I would've rather slept. The opener was good but after that it was just a snowball of weak booking choices, I get you wanna make it feel evens but the fact that Pretty Deadly and Mandy became unified champions in succession then postponed a potential best of 3 banger between Ben Carter and A-Kid shows the mentality NXT 2.0 has at play, thew Vince-ism is still there, right down to the 'home team' bias.

I also hope that the NXT UK belts aren't gone, they are WWE's best looking belts, and if they are gone I will happily take the UK title for myself if they name a price.

Overall it was fine, somehow didn't top Clash at the Castle, ball's in All Out's court now. Now I have to have 5 hours sleep...

Match Results (and Predictions)

Carmelo Hayes (c) [w/ Trick Williams] def. Ricochet (Pinfall via Small Package) Pretty Deadly [w/Lash Legend] def. The Creed Brothers (c) [w/Damon Kemp], Briggs & Jensen (c) [w/Fallon Henley] & Gallus (Mark Coffey & Wolfgang) [w/Joe Coffey] (Final Pinfall by Prince on Julius after chair shot) - NEW UNIFIED TAG CHAMPIONS Mandy Rose (c) def. Meiko Satomura (c) & Blair Davenport (Pinfall by Rose on Blair via running knee) - NEW UNIFIED WOMEN'S CHAMPION Chance & Carter (c) def. Doudrop & Nikki A.S.H. (Pinfall by Chance on Doudrop via 450 Knee Drop) Bron Breakker (c) def. Tyler Bate (c) (Pinfall via Spear) - NEW UNIFIED CHAMPION

Wrestling lookback: NXT edition

So we'll end with the minor league of the WWE.

NXT Championship: Had some up and downs this year. We start out 2023 with Bron Breakker (not sold on the name but one would think he'd be in the midcard on Raw by now but that's a rant for another day). Carmelo Hayes took over but Ilija Dragunov has been a pretty strong champ since No Mercy. Definitely seeing some things in this guy's future.

I'll say Draguov holds for most of '24

NXT North American title: We started with Wes Lee, who then lost it to the luckiest so and so in professional wrestling, "Dirty" Dominick Mysterio. Who played the cheap heel perfectly, even when he lost the belt to Trick Williams, then regained it. His reign was sadly ended by Dragon Lee

On the one hand, Lee has proven himself in quite a few other promotions but that doesn't always mean the WWE bookers know what to do.

NXT Women's is next. 2023 started with Roxanne Perez before Indi Hartwell picked up the belt at Stand & Deliver. Hartwell got sidelined via the old injury bug, but Tiffany Stratton as the spoiled brat did alright. Becky Lynch taking the belt was a shock though as was her dropping to Lyra Valkyria. Lyra's been a pretty solid champ so far but I wouldn't rush her to the main roster yet.

On to the Tag Team division. The New Day kicked off 2023 as champs before dropping them to Gallus. The Family, however, is looking to be the tag team of the year as they picked up the belts at the Great American Bash before dropping them to Chase University and then winning them back again. Time will tell if 2024 will be their year.

Next we have the NXT Heritage Cup. It started out as NXT UK Heritage Cup but after that experiment failed, Noam Dar was still the holder, at least until Nathan Frazier won it in June. Dar won it back though, so the whole thing was kind of pointless.

And finally we have the NXT Women's Tag Team titles. Katana Chance and Kayden Carter kicked the year with the gold. Fallon Henley and Kiana James took it at Vengeance Day but Alba Frye and Isla Dawn would prove to be the last champs as they lost a unification match with Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler. Pity, as I think they had enough women to field a tag division in NXT.

Am I up to the fourth match of the NXT Worlds Collide premium event on Peacock from September 4, 2022?: Women’s NXT Championship match. I guess there isn’t a Women’s NXT UK Tag Team Championship so they opted to give Chance and Carter opponents from Scotland, Nikki A.S.H. and Duodrop. I guess it’s the same thing. No way they would have the visiting challengers from RAW win so a predictable and typical match. Fun fact: Katana Chance is Kacy Catanzaro of American Ninja Warrior fame, if you follow that sort of thing.
