Drew McIntyre is just at the starting point of what looks to be a fantastic comeback in WWE. A former WWE Superstar who was looked at as a strong candidate to be one of the WWE's youngest and brightest, he fizzled out, eventually being released and having to start over on the indie wrestling scene. He was able to regain his footing, get noticed by WWE and now he's back, quickly climbing his way back up into the conversation about potential future champions.

So, when McIntyre blames the current WWE group of talent for complacency and "filler" segments on WWE programming, he has some experience having once been one of the guys he's saying is a problem in today's WWE.

McIntyre was recently a guest on The Jim Ross Report. During the interview, McIntyre addressed the idea of  "filler" segments on Raw and how he feels it's not WWE writers who are to blame, but the current WWE roster who isn't taking responsibility for their own career paths. Basically, McIntyre suggests, not enough guys want to be WWE's top star.

Having been a talent that rested on his laurels, McIntyre understands its easy to get stuck in a rut, but that today's talents should understand that making the most of TV time is extremely important. If they don't, today's roster will become tomorrow's future endeavored and can guarantee someone younger and hungrier is willing to take their spot. He said, "No matter what it is, don't blame creative... don't sit there with the boo-hoo face. You figure out the story and you tell the story because there are other people in NXT waiting to take your spot if you're not willing to step up on RAW."

He also added, "We have the best talent... But also, we have five hours with SmackDown every week. And as good as a lot of it is, there is a lot of filler in there and a lot of guys just sitting around. They just don't have the passion. It's as simple as that. I can say it because I was that guy before I got released. I was that guy at some point. I wasn't confident. I wasn't pushing myself to get to the top. I wasn't bettering myself in the gym. I wasn't pitching stories. I wasn't trying to be a better performer. I think that a lot of people forget they're in WWE and get complacent."

While it's uncertain how this kind of talk will resonate in WWE, it's likely something people like Vince McMahon and Triple H are happy to hear. It's another way of suggesting that WWE Superstars shouldn't wait for the brass ring to be there for the taking. They should create their own brass ring and starting pitching ideas and get the decision-makers to include them. Wrestlers have great ideas and they can add to the product by pitching them.

For the fans, this would be a revelation. While they remain loyal, its become common for the WWE Universe to complain about the lack of action, suspense and quality segments on their favorite shows. If everyone took a little advice from McIntyre, the shows might be a whole lot more entertaining.
