<table><tr><td>Details on Drew McIntyre's gimmick change

As noted before, Drew McIntyre is set to be re-packaged with an "arrogant playboy" gimmick soon. According to fans at this weekend's SmackDown live event in Honduras, Drew appeared to be acting more sexual and flirting with male fans in the crowd, even blowing kisses at some. He also stopped in the middle of his match against Ezekiel Jackson to comb his hair. Drew still lost the match to Zeke.

TDK's Take:

Why do I get the feeling this is gonna be extinct almost as quick as the Funkasaurus? I haven't seen it yet, but it sure sounds a lot like Rick 'The Model' Martel for a new generation.</td><td>

Was that a misprint?

Wait. What? Funkasaurus is fun to watch, an arrogant playboy, is not. ...unless his gimmick is fun to watch like Godfather.

I honestly dont think it is Rag bro.

Personally, the reasons for this could stem to Cena's feud with GLAAD! Could be wrong, but I think WWE are trying to show they dont have ignorrance to sexuality and such! Its a smart move, but not for Drew McIntrye as he will not expand past the Mid-Card level with this gimmick!

If that really was the way that it was planned, this could be a great storyline.

I have always wanted to see a "gay Goldnerg" storyline. A large wrestler who is openly gay or bisexual, but isn't overly affeminate. Other wrestlers won't be comfortable going into a match against someone like that. But what can they do, because the large wrestler is unstoppable. And he isn't going to tolerate being the subject of homophobia.

Although, I think the plan for McIntyre is to be a heel.

Oh Come On Not Drew!
Fuck You WWE!
That Gimmik maybe suits Goldust, but Mcintyre Hell No, His Current Gimmik is Just Fine

WWE just screw up everything.

Agree with El Marrueco.that gimmick is suits Goldust,not Mcintyre.

There's been no retraction all day so I think it is on the level...

I agree with AKI that this sort of gimmick is virtually doomed to getting stuck in the mid card ranks. With that in mind, it seems a shame to saddle Drew with it as I initially held high hopes for him.

That kind of shit has been out-dated for decades.
