Drew McIntyre isn’t against taking heel tips from Jake Paul (or whichever Paul brother it may be).
Drew McIntyre recently spoke with Steven Muehlhausen from DAZN and was asked about his thoughts on Jake Paul, the YouTube star who’s having a successful amateur boxing run.
“Number one heel in the world right now,” Drew said. “So when I have that big heel turn down the line, I’m going to start taking tips from that guy as everybody freaking hates him.”
McIntyre admits he has trouble distinguishing if it’s Jake or his brother Logan Paul getting up to the latest mischief, but is well aware of the heat that each garner.
“Honestly, I get confused between them both. But every time I hear in Logan and hear the name Logan, everybody’s saying the same reaction, ‘God, this guy’. And when they walk into buildings, I assume it’s more Jake Paul. He walks into the building, and he gets booed wherever he goes,” McIntyre pointed out.
McIntyre was then asked who he’d call the current ‘Jake Paul of WWE.’
“Would have said Corbin before the Happy Corbin thing. Now the character is a little different, but it still gets a similar reaction. But there was a point when Corbin had zero redeeming qualities. No matter what he did, whatever we went, people were like, ‘God, I just can’t stand this guy’. It was awesome because that’s a true genuine bad guy through and through. And that’s what we really need for what we’re missing,” he explained. “I think it’s just that genuine bad guy with no redeeming qualities. Nobody’s saying, ‘Wow, he’s a really good bad guy’.
“So if anyone says there is a really good bad guy is not really a good bad guy. Some people say, ‘My goodness, I just can’t stand this guy. I want someone to beat him up once. I want someone to shut them up’. But that’s a great bad guy. That’s why Paul (Heyman) is so good because people would just roll their eyes and boo him wherever he goes. He talks his trash and is a perfect heel,” McIntyre claimed. “People will pay money to see him get his ass kicked.”
Drew McIntyre has been feuding with Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss on SmackDown, and defeated Moss at WWE Day 1 on January 1.
