Waymint. If this gauntlet is for the last spot, then Drew should've already been eliminated. If we're talking classic booking, you want your babyface champion to have SOME underdog feel. Drew is already eating F-5s and Punt Kicks for breakfast; now he gets to enter the EC fresh after everybody else is spent?
Drew isn't an underdog champion. He was a terminator as a heel and he's a terminator now. His motivations for termination are different, that's all.
But he shouldn't have even been in that match. He should have just said "I'll start it off because I'm a fighting champion."
Instead, he just whooped half the field. If Drew is supposed to be an underdog champion, how is a viewer supposed to believe any of these challengers really have a chance at beating him?
