Drew McIntyre Advocates for Continuous Layering and Complex Storylines – Speaking with Gorilla Position, Drew McIntyre said that, in wrestling, you’re only as good as your last match or your latest storyline. He noted that he was on a losing streak in big matches, but he turned it into his storyline leading into WWE Elimination Chamber. McIntyre then emphasized the importance of developing complex stories.
“Wrestling is a funny thing. It’s a good thing it’s 52 weeks a year. You’re only as good as your last match or latest storyline. I found out recently before Seth pinned me on Raw in our last match, I was undefeated on TV for two years, but I lost every single big match. I was able to spin it and work it into the story, which led to the big victory at Elimination Chamber where I finally won the big stage. However you feel about how I did it, I kept my head in the chaos and did it. It’s all part of this more complex and interesting story, adding more layers to the character, making him more relatable. It’s hard to be relatable when you’re 6’5’’, 270 pounds, hairy Scottish man, but I was able to become relatable because of my story of never getting up, getting knocked down, pushing forward. That’s what connected as a good guy, and now, with all this creative freedom and having 52 weeks, it’s so unique. We’re nonstop. We should be constantly adding layers and should have more complex storylines. Now, we saw what happened with the Bloodline and how successful it was over these past three years, developing these deep layered characters with the rest of us, and I’m excited to be part of it,” McIntyre said.
