One can make the argument that stars like Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles wouldn't have made it in the golden era of WWE back when the roster was bigger. However, Drew McIntyre is an anomaly in the sense that he would have been quite a legitimate star even in the past!
He is exactly the kind of Superstar that WWE is known to like and push because he fits the prototype of a classic WWE Superstar. Add the fact that he's a natural in the ring and a beast on the microphone and you have the perfect mix, I think!
I mean how many other Superstars do you see stride into the ring with the kind of confidence that Drew McIntyre has, and dwarf Brock Lesnar like he is just another guy in the roster? What makes McIntyre special is not merely his size but also his intensity and his passion that comes across in every promo he cuts, and he lives what he preaches in actual life!
