At first glance, one might wonder if someone from WWE's creative team was under the influence when they put this unlikely tandem together. But then if you take a step back and really evaluate this duo, you'll begin to understand that there is a bigger picture here, a much bigger picture. It has become obvious that Drew McIntyre is serving as the workhorse for this team...the muscle, so-to-speak. Meanwhile, Ziggler has laid low and allowed Drew to do the majority of the work, but has enjoyed the benefits right alongside his partner.
Personally, I believe that Drew and Ziggler will have a relatively short tile run. The reason why I say that is because there will likely be a huge fallout between these two, which will result in one of these guys making a babyface turn, which will likely be Drew, in order to set up for a future singles title run. But in the meantime, just enjoy the ride for what it is. It's rare to see Ziggler or McIntyre involved in tag team action. Both have complimented one another perfectly and seem to have great chemistry. It's an unlikely, yet highly effective partnership that has been fun to watch thus far.

He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
