Drew McIntyre's history being Vince's "Chosen One", his Broken Dreams theme song, and winning the WWE Championship in front of an empty arena adds up to great storytelling.
Fr.. I was 15 when drew first debuted... I'd never in my life think I'd be a fan of his... he's come farther than most and he truly deserves his spot at the top
Note to Adam Page: THIS is how you do a professional worked shoot. McIntyre honestly gave the promo of his career, even if calling Punk a demon did make him sound too much like an Outlander character. 😄
Drew's current tweener/justified heel run is the most interesting he's been since he claymored Lesnar out of the Rumble. In the ring with a returning mega star in Punk and Drew more than held his own in commanding the spot light. Guy really shines with interesting material and direction
"Mega star"???? ONLY WRESTLING FANS CARE HE EXISTS!!!! "Mega star"??? Old man that sat home bitching then joined the rinkydink fun factory circus THEN pretended as if he'd been retired for a decade
Eh...I was falling asleep on Drew. It sucks that they clearly want Punk to be this miracle worker on their talent, but there are some of these covid Champs that shouldn't have even gotten the belt in the first place
Drew has the size, the athleticism, the voice, the legitimate look of a Champion, and now, finally, a personality. Drew should be their killer, just hunting down and destroying people. Its believeable, and he has the momentum to become even bigger.
Drew fucking killed it here, Punk obviously held his own as well. Drew is the most interesting part of Raw to me right now, which is strange because he seemed sort of aimless for awhile.
Punk somehow gets the best promo out of every guy that stand across him it’s unbelievable he fooled me into thinking MJF was the best by a mile now look at him left to his own devices
@@indiesongwriter5474 didn’t say MJF sucked prior lol but he still did dumb stuff here and there with Punk he literally he hit grand slams weekly now again it’s a bunch of bad comedy
I'm starting to see now what Vince saw in Drew when he deemed him The Chosen One. It is making sense now. Drew as a sympathetic villain is the best version of him by far.
Given his direction, I feel like he should beat Priest for the briefcase at Mania, and then after Seth beats Punk he should cash in. Boom mania pop and I think he’d get a huge one. Or I’m just a mark for Drew 😂
@@ColinHammond94 sure, I think it makes more sense to put Seth over and given that Seth has beaten Drew and run him down. But I just want Drew to get that pop.
People complaining that there just copying the hangman promo stuff but Rollins and McIntyre have done alot better with the work shoot type promo and drew here was great and show he was a serious guy. Cool segment
To be honest, Punk have enough time to see and calculate how to imporve Hangman promo and make it work, and Drew more professional and open to work comparing with Page
This is the feud i never knew i needed until now. Like Cena Punk knows how to get the best out of everyone. Raw just doesn't seem to be as long drawn as before.. looks like a step in the right direction as a whole. Must be alright as this is literally in a long while where JC n Brian are meaningfully talking about Raw.
This was well done with both taking jabs at each other and wanting to win the Royal Rumble. Drew going Heel and his reasons have been one of the best things on Raw recently Story wise. Commando is very good by the way and is one of Arnold's Best Movies with Kindergarten Cop and his Terminator Movies.
I didn’t care about drew that much. Didn’t wanna see him work with punk. Now I wanna see them wrestle. Imagine that. They sold me. I don’t watch often anymore, collision with punk and FTR was my last chance with wrestling, now WWE has me back in. 10/10 segment, 10/10 promo.
Drew got me back watching wwe from 2018 and lost it after he lost to Roman but now he’s interesting again since 2020 and I see him as a guy chip on his shoulder and want make legendary moments for himself and he stood on his own against punk who’s really been one of the goats at talking
I could think of five Arnold movies off the top of my head that are better than commando. Terminator two, predator, twins, kindergarten cop, total recall
I do feel like in AEW specifically Hangman and even Kingston were trying to make the fans hate Punk and turn against him. Looking back at those you can tell they were trying to get gotcha moments to make themselves feel better . These segments in WWE just feel more grown-up and even sided. Both Drew and Seth have given Punk space to counter and show his side where things make more sense, in AEW they tried to put Punk on his heels because they were jealousy
WWE stepping up their game is forcing other companies to be better I love it. If WWE pushes harder all wrestling companies can benefit from it depending on how hard they work at it. I never want to see a business get shut down because I love having competition. Having aew around forces TNA to step it up and Mlw/NWA. I'm kind of getting old TNA and ECW vibes from TNA right now. Tapings is where I'm gonna judge what they're gonna do with the product. Having backstage vignettes and video packages are key imo. WWE is doing incredible with the top stars right now. Even Nakamura who I hated for so long because he was boring is actually fun to watch. Happy wrestling is thriving
I don't pick a certain promotion. Every promotion has something for me to watch so I check em out. Except ROH, I'm tired of seeing Danielson and Claudio. Especially Claudio. Dude has talent but he's mid card at best. WWE kept him there for a reason. If I ran aew, my top talent would be Pentagon, Joe, Hook, Brian Cage, Swerve, Starks, Moxley, Page, Omega, and try to make new stars. Pentagon needs a manager that speaks good English that looks cool. Joe is being booked good. Hook needs better booking. Swerve would be getting the belt off Joe. You could easily make aew viable with good characters and storylines. The women need trained more, most of em are pretty bad. Maybe that's just my opinion. I hate women wrestling. Riho is laughable to watch. Saraya, Mariah may, Skye blue, Julia Hart, Britt Baker need to just be on TV every week and see who can wear the sexiest ouffifs
Exactly. Punks mic skills are the equivalent to Bret Harts in ring ability. He can talk shit and bury someone or tell a story, or just go back and forth with someone like he did with Drew. Its so effortless.@ISetYourFaceOnFire
I tuned into Raw at the tail end of this promo segment. I found the full segment here on RUclips and watched it and actually enjoyed it. This was quite good.
Much respect for Brian now that I know we both consider Commando to be Arnold's Magnum Opus. And JIM! Please watch Commando now. Best action movie ever made.
This segment made me actually become a fan of Drew and actually care about him when before, I didnt care at all, nor could I understand why people were behind him. If this is the Drew we get from now, im all for it. Punk is in a position now where he can get people to care about whoever he's feuding with because he knows how to make the rivalry is compelling when given a microphone...but man, Drew really came off like he has a chip on his shoulder. I really did not give 2 shits about him until I saw this segment. Props to Drew for making me a fan that way.
This is why - love him or hate him - a happy, content Punk is the best talker in the world of wrestling. Every single promo he's had, the other guy has come off looking great. Working the 'backstage menace' angle as a gimmick is a stroke of genius. Taking pops at what happened in AEW without ever explicitly stating it - which would be the lazy thing to do. It's easy to say 'fuck that company'. It's a lot harder to word a good promo and let the audience go 'Oh, I get it.' Even if this run is a year - I expect him to retire at Mania 41 - it's going to be gold for whoever gets to work with him.
The surprise is kind of annoying. Drew’s been this good for awhile. A lot of guys have been this good. Their creative was just at the mercy of a senile old man.
Drew McIntyre's history being Vince's "Chosen One", his Broken Dreams theme song, and winning the WWE Championship in front of an empty arena adds up to great storytelling.
Loved that song 😭
Fr.. I was 15 when drew first debuted... I'd never in my life think I'd be a fan of his... he's come farther than most and he truly deserves his spot at the top
Thing is....🤔 I can see punk putting McIntyre over.... for a title win opportunity. And then challenge him for a title shot for good faith 😅
3MB 😂
Predator is Arnold's best movie.
Note to Adam Page: THIS is how you do a professional worked shoot. McIntyre honestly gave the promo of his career, even if calling Punk a demon did make him sound too much like an Outlander character. 😄
I'll just check that "demon" as a Scottish thing! Drew was excellent.
I'd as if hang nail was taking notes but he doesnt take advice

This reminded me so much of Punk's promo with Kingston in AEW. This promo was incredible. Both Drew and Punk are incredible
Agreed! I’ll watch anything with Punk but Drew had me wanting more after this segment.
I remember that promo on Rampage. Those were the good days before that show got forgotten about.
If WWE hasn't gotten Drew to re-sign after this, they have no idea what they are letting going.
Eh...I was falling asleep on Drew. It sucks that they clearly want Punk to be this miracle worker on their talent, but there are some of these covid Champs that shouldn't have even gotten the belt in the first place
Promo with who?
I'm a big Drew fan, but even I was getting bored of his character. This shift has been great. I'm genuinely rooting for him to beat Seth.
Good thing he got rid of the damn sword.
The prop sword needs to go.
This Rumble has soooooo many directions it can go in.
Punk telling Drew he’ll throw him out last was such a great FU
Only got reference when I saw thumbnail
'I lied ' 😂
Drew is in ridiculous shape at the moment, damn.
He's extra motivated to go to the gym so he can make Tiktoks where he's venting about everybody.
Steroids and growth hormones are sick AF (guitar solo)
I really like Drew's current character and promos, and Punk is always great
Drew has the size, the athleticism, the voice, the legitimate look of a Champion, and now, finally, a personality. Drew should be their killer, just hunting down and destroying people. Its believeable, and he has the momentum to become even bigger.
I'll like to see Drew in MMA
Drew doesn't have what LA Knight has, though, because he doesn't have the SHOES OF A CHAMPION!!!
he can be the modern day triple h not the main guy but has classics with all of them
Seth Cody punk Drew could just could hot potato the championship
If Drew doesn't get another run as champion it would be a terrible lost opportunity
Best thing about CM Punk is he can talk and not just throw out catch phrases.
Like dwayne?
YEAHHHH! Lemme talk to ya.
@jonjones9917such a liar
I can’t believe McIntyre is the same guy that was in 3MB 😂
Drew fucking killed it here, Punk obviously held his own as well. Drew is the most interesting part of Raw to me right now, which is strange because he seemed sort of aimless for awhile.

Bullshit. MJF went from a consistent A+ heel before and after Punk to being a B babyface. He's still learning. Anyway, your opinion is rather niche

With Brian bringing up the scene in Commando, I now want James Horner to compose the score for the Royal Rumble.

I actually just bought the Commando Director's cut 4K Blu Ray. Region Free!

"Put dat cookie down! NOW!!!"
7:33 the thought of God copyrighting the Devil is hilarious 😂
Jim Cornette does love singing in the key of the brown.
And then McIntyres gonna throw punk out and say
“You’re getting Old Punk….Youre getting old”
This is the feud i never knew i needed until now. Like Cena Punk knows how to get the best out of everyone. Raw just doesn't seem to be as long drawn as before.. looks like a step in the right direction as a whole. Must be alright as this is literally in a long while where JC n Brian are meaningfully talking about Raw.
Punk as John Matrix is tickling me to no end for some reason! 🤣
This is my weak arm Salley
The greatest contribution that Commando gave us is Bennett confirmed what Freddie Mercury would look like if he was a Special Forces Bad-Ass.
Is Brian implying that punk had seen commando when he hasn't seen rocky
We really need a warning about Jim hitting certain notes when wearing headphones 😂😂😂
