#4. Drew McIntyre

The Scottish Psychopath
The Scottish Psychopath

This entry speaks more to his recent run with WWE opposed to his first tenure. While Drew McIntyre was a believable bad guy in the early stages of his career, it was mainly due to being pegged as a future world champion by none other than Mr. McMahon himself. Known originally as "the Chosen One" there were high expectations placed on the Scottish Psychopath during his first run in WWE.

Once he left the company and came back to the WWE, however, he was a totally different performer. The time away from the company allowed McIntyre to hone his skills as both a worker and a character. He did great work with ICW, Evolve, Impact Wrestling and other independent promotions across the world.

When he did return to the WWE, he was first a face in NXT, but immediately became a heel once he rejoined RAW. He was able to back up his menacing words since he's 6'5'', 260 pounds. A lot of heels just talk a big game but McIntyre was more than able to back it up. He beat up Seth Rollins, Finn Balor and many of the other faces during his heel run a couple of years ago.

His recent turn prior to the Royal Rumble was a welcome change as he was able to showcase more of his personality. The count down before a Claymore kick also involved the fans while giving them something to cheer along with. McIntyre has shown that he's quick-witted and likable which helps to endear him to fans. The moves might be the same, but the current WWE Champion is great on either side of the coin.
