00:00:16.060 You're probably just going to be some rich guy

00:00:17.460 and he's going to whisk you away.

00:00:31.060 Officially tag team partners

00:00:33.220 We're a thing now

00:00:33.840 Why would you pick on Jelly Roll?

00:00:35.120 I'm a little bit sick of the Outsiders, Mike, is the answer

00:00:37.260 And so, like, we heard Jelly Roll was hosting Jimmy Kimmel

00:00:39.520 Still bored at work, went crazy

00:00:42.260 Nobody knew I was going to do it

00:00:43.480 And I didn't know if it was going to happen

00:00:44.640 We did it right there on the fly

00:00:46.000 They exploded

00:00:46.760 I mean, I guess from an engagement perspective

00:00:48.360 The most powerful in the company, aside Rhea Ripley's 0.69

00:00:50.700 What the hell, bro? 1.00

00:00:52.680 These Samoans are multiplying like bunny rabbits 1.00

00:00:54.440 And, bro, I love Samoans 1.00

00:00:55.520 I love them, I love

00:00:56.400 I love The Rock

00:00:57.120 I love him 0.97

00:00:57.580 But the rest of the family can go f*** themselves.

00:00:59.580 Do you think Seth's injury is a work or a shoot?

00:01:01.580 85% of our guys don't look like they should be in WWE.

00:01:04.580 They look like they should be serving me my fast food. 0.97

00:01:06.580 Jesus, guys, get in the f***ing gym. 0.95

00:01:08.580 And I was so angry, I went to the boss's office, 0.93

00:01:11.580 got this big promo, big passionate speech I was so proud of. 0.99

00:01:13.580 Damn, you cut a promo on the boss. 0.99

00:01:15.580 I did, and he didn't understand one word of it. 0.99

00:01:17.580 I was always led to believe this is your family.

00:01:19.580 These are your brothers and sisters. 0.99

00:01:21.580 And I believed that crap my entire career, 0.99

00:01:23.580 right up until CM Punk Drew McIntyre held in the cell. 0.99

00:01:25.580 so I nearly bled to death, disappeared for three months nearly. How many people called me? One.

00:01:41.020 Hey, hey, can I tell you something? Sure, anything, Mike. Are we rolling? Dude, I have major drama

00:01:45.960 with Detroit right now. Detroit, the city? City, yeah. You don't want that, Mike. I know that. I

00:01:50.460 made a terrible mistake. What'd you do? These two dwarves somewhere in Europe asked me about

00:01:55.200 what the dirtiest American city was. 1.00

00:01:57.300 And I panicked, bro.

00:01:58.700 And the first thing that came to mind was Detroit.

00:02:00.220 Obviously, it's Detroit.

00:02:01.220 That's what came to my mind.

00:02:02.820 And then this Detroit rag page posted.

00:02:04.920 And now I've been getting death threats, bro,

00:02:06.580 from Eminem and the likes. 0.90

00:02:10.240 Here's the thing about people from Detroit. 0.98

00:06:14.060 a video of him telling a girl to flash him i'm like dude like if we did that today we'd be fired

00:06:21.340 can't even possibly canceled i can consider everything i do like is this gonna get me

00:06:25.960 canceled yeah so drew just order the fries yeah is canceled still happening as much as it was

00:06:32.680 you know five six years ago i feel like canceled isn't really a thing anymore it's a bit harder

00:06:37.620 because you people now realize you can survive cancellations and it also depends what the crime

00:06:42.240 is what what is the thing you know there's some that are tough to come back from like kevin spacey

00:06:46.500 still wrestling with with his cancellation and he's trying to come back by saying release epstein

00:06:50.580 files that's neither here nor there i don't even know kevin spacey wrestled no no no he's a he was

00:06:55.840 an actor he was in a house of cards oh you just because you said he was still wrestling so i

00:06:59.700 didn't know oh did i say that yeah because the wwe show and i didn't know if you were going to

00:07:03.500 introduce another kevin spacey yeah he is a wrestler now he just signed he just the next

00:07:07.400 guest actually hey yeah hey can i ask you guys a question uh why why would you pick on um why

00:07:12.740 would you pick on jelly roll i didn't pick on jelly roll why would you pick on jelly roll

00:07:17.920 jelly roll get involved in your business to start this thing that's that's my issue with it like

00:07:23.560 we're in a country bar right now if jelly roll walked in the room well minus when he tried to

00:07:29.200 take over what we do we if he walked in this country bar a month ago i'd say dude like jelly

00:07:35.380 good to see you hop on the stage play the drums or sing whatever it is that you do and like we'll

00:07:41.100 all clap for you like a monkey like we'll watch you his music that's what he does good music it's

00:07:46.000 what he does and then all of a sudden i see him supposedly training suppose supposedly he's jelly

00:07:53.180 Row's been training the rumor the rumor yeah I've not got any you know feedback positive or even

00:07:58.460 negative but yeah I mean apparently apparently you can just do it for a couple of weeks and

00:08:02.360 magically you're good at it I mean you've got anomalies and yourself you're going to be on

00:08:06.040 your show now I've got to put you over how quick you took to this I think unbelievable but clearly

00:08:09.680 you're a natural athlete I mean the current angles of the world's like Rhonda obviously when she came

00:08:14.540 in and yourself but then Jelly Roll you know that major athletic background that he has I'm always

00:08:21.440 hearing about it as a kid and all those sports he played like i don't know dominoes in jail i assume

00:08:26.200 that's my issue with it because i came in as a as a lifelong athlete you know and and i i personally

00:08:34.720 now since i do this find it a little insulting that like a celebrity thinks they can just come

00:08:39.860 in the business and and get the green room and and and fly on the jet and just six minute run

00:08:45.060 in at wrestlemania and screw up our damn main event travis scott which happened by the way 0.97

00:08:49.160 piece of shit yeah so like you know i'm a little bit sick of the outsiders mike is the answer and 0.98

00:08:53.920 so like no disrespect to jelly roll outside of the wwe but in the wwe i fully intend to disrespect 0.99

00:08:58.660 him a lot it just sucks that it had to be jelly because he's he's got to be one of the most

00:09:03.740 beloved people in the world and not not right now i mean if you ask anybody out there jelly roll is

00:09:08.760 probably one of their favorite people i mean does it does it sadden you guys to know that you'll be

00:09:13.080 you'll be just so hate continue to be so hated for going up against someone that's so beloved

00:09:18.200 he's choosing to step in the ring like i said it on um saturday's main event when i kicked him in 1.00

00:09:23.040 the stupid face and if you step into our ring you make yourself a target he wanted the big shiny 0.99

00:09:27.800 wwe watched it all his life as a big fan and he decided to get in our world screw with logan put 1.00

00:09:33.160 hands on logan to begin with and then cost me a freaking match against randy or and i was out for

00:09:37.580 five weeks i came back new mindset new drew i'm not gonna get involved in all these personal

00:09:42.800 wishes i've been involved with for the past two years people at punk and priest that's not getting

00:09:45.880 me any titles i want the damn title back i want that win over randy to put me on track 0.98

00:09:49.620 to beat cena the current bitch version of cena and he screwed it all up he being jelly roll 1.00

00:09:54.660 and he deserved to get kicked in his stupid face and it's that end of summer slam that 1.00

00:09:57.900 logan and i are just gonna embarrass both of them i'm gonna get my victory over randy 1.00

00:10:00.820 boot his arse embarrass jelly roll get more eyes on us get more eyes on the product so 0.70

00:10:05.340 everybody wins especially me and logan well i couldn't have said it any better myself 0.98

00:10:10.780 That was incredible.

00:10:14.020 Hey, maybe he can talk in complete sentences.

00:10:18.420 Come on.

00:10:19.720 I saw the clip.

00:10:20.880 I was just curious because I was just curious

00:10:23.320 why you would want to help this guy out.

00:10:26.000 I know it wasn't you guys.

00:10:27.140 You guys are better than this.

00:10:28.120 It was like Logan Burns drew in a watch.

00:10:30.020 That's not a burn.

00:10:31.120 That's just we haven't talked long enough.

00:10:33.280 Backstage, I mumble.

00:10:34.680 I don't have a clear voice.

00:10:36.120 I'm from Scotland.

00:10:36.900 I've got an accent, whatever.

00:10:37.980 But you put a microphone in front of me,

00:10:39.220 a camera in front of me.

00:10:40.200 i have to make a point i'll turn it on like that backstage i'm not wasting my time turning on 0.98

00:10:44.820 screw that i don't get time for that shit yeah you do turn it on and backstage you're not really 0.97

00:10:48.720 in the friends making business no kind of just about the business but around for 25 years one 0.99

00:10:53.260 thing i've learned is we're not friends we're not family i was led to believe i started wrestling at

00:10:57.520 15 years old i was always led to believe this is your family these are your brothers and sisters

00:11:01.760 you spend more time with each other you do with your actual family which is true and i believed 0.96

00:11:05.640 that crap my entire career right up until cm punk drew mcintyre hell in the cell i was fighting for 0.97

00:11:11.040 the fans and the people backstage telling everybody punk is a genuinely awful human being genuine 0.99

00:11:16.120 piece of shit said it constantly i'm getting booed the fans are coming down on me and i'm like how 0.98

00:11:20.480 can you do this i was your guy i carried wwe through covid i proved to you i'm a good guy 0.99

00:11:25.060 there's no negative stories about me on the internet non-stop negative stories about him

00:11:29.540 you do a character study on him my degrees in criminology he's guilty beyond all the reasonable

00:11:33.240 doubt he's a terrible terrible human being i fought him in hell in the cell and then he bled

00:11:37.460 to death i lost my blood loss not because he beat me disappeared for how long was it three months

00:11:42.620 nearly how many people called me one logan paul all my brothers and sisters i'm not gonna go into

00:11:48.260 it right now all my brothers and sisters um apparently nobody called me to check in on me

00:11:53.400 all the fans moved on and for the fans i don't blame them we're 52 weeks a year no reruns no

00:11:58.460 offseason doesn't matter if you're stone cold the rock logan or drew mcintyre unless you're right in

00:12:02.460 front of their face they're not thinking about you triple h sits backstage every week they're

00:12:06.100 not thinking oh triple h is right there unless you're right in front of their face the product 0.73

00:12:09.020 moves too quick it's not their fault but my brothers and sisters not to call me to contact

00:12:13.920 me i realize what's important is getting what's yours and get now and that's why i like this man

00:12:18.660 he understands that he came in with the same mindset i've got now it took me 25 years to get

00:12:23.040 we're gonna get ours then we're gonna get out and the product's just gonna keep moving forward

00:12:27.180 i like i like you drew this is gonna be sick does that does that intelligent people in a 0.99

00:12:33.740 locker room full of freaking morons well that's your you're deceptively intelligent you you thank 0.99

00:12:38.700 you you you you are backhanded compliment right there no i mean i mean drew you like i don't 1.00

00:12:43.080 think anyone expects like a guy of your stature who's also a professional wrestler i think it's 0.99

00:12:46.820 a profession where people probably think most of us are pretty stupid i think yeah i mean it's 0.70

00:12:50.940 changing like slightly as time goes by i've seen the difference from 07 to now and the perception 0.95

00:12:55.920 of wrestling and wrestlers but you're right people still have that well because i think i think

00:12:59.600 they're peeling back the curtain a little bit yeah and also for me it's just let me get in 0.89

00:13:03.840 you know the the environments where i can show you know we're not a bunch of morons we're actually 0.84

00:13:07.940 you know college educated we can string sentences together we know how to build a brand you're the

00:13:12.320 master of it i'll be picking your brain the more we work with each other how i can grow this

00:13:15.780 mcintyre brand yeah yeah and the more you put me in those situations um especially wwe it drives me

00:13:21.380 nuts when i see some of our guys on some of these huge you know public platforms huge tv shows

00:13:26.820 because these days no offense but 85 of our guys don't look like they should be in wwe

00:13:31.600 they're on netflix and stuff and my buddies like will contact me and go yo i've just turned on the

00:13:36.080 wrestling for a while to see what you're up to yeah it's cool to see people oh logan paul's on

00:13:44.460 screen comes right off the screen you're a freaking giant there's these other guys they 0.98

00:13:48.440 They should be serving me my fast food at McDonald's or whatever. 1.00

00:13:52.340 And I could kick their ass. 1.00

00:13:53.260 It takes me out of it. 1.00

00:13:54.040 And I'm like, oh, you know, they're good at wrestling.

00:13:56.340 And eventually you'll connect with them.

00:13:58.180 But as well, I'm not going to watch it long enough.

00:13:59.520 I changed the channel. 0.96

00:14:00.540 It's like, Jesus, guys, get in the freaking gym. 0.97

00:15:56.320 How are you going to get to us?

00:15:57.520 Well, there's a specific reason why you should listen to us.

00:15:59.880 We are the best podcast in the entire world, I swear.

00:16:03.700 I know, bold.

00:16:04.960 But why don't we list some of the things we might talk about on a regular episode?

00:16:08.520 So sometimes we'll talk about, I don't know, the Uber driver we just had.

00:16:12.140 and how nice they were, or if we tipped them or not.

00:16:15.360 Come and find out.

00:16:16.480 Sometimes we'll talk about that weird news story from last week.

00:16:19.780 It's the one you're thinking about. Trust me.

00:16:22.060 Or maybe we'll talk about music and what's happening in the underground,

00:16:25.220 or drama and music, or TV shows, or the Met Gala and what the actors wore.

00:16:30.740 What we're saying is we're not afraid to talk about everything under the sun.

00:16:33.900 And if you want to see what that's like, come join us.

00:17:04.540 But just don't say out loud.

00:17:05.620 I hate that job.

00:17:06.520 You're probably just going to meet with some rich guy

00:17:08.060 and he's going to whisk you away

00:17:09.220 and I'll never see you again.

00:17:11.740 Well, this is awkward.

00:17:13.400 Would you say a D-list actor?

00:17:15.220 D?

00:17:17.200 I don't even know there's such a thing as D.

00:17:19.020 No, no, no.

00:17:19.680 I mean, like...

00:17:20.220 I can't even get on the C-list?

00:17:21.120 Like, I'm not even average?

00:17:21.980 I'm not even passing?

00:17:22.940 I'm failing?

00:17:35.100 I asked you about some of this past stuff

00:17:36.580 because you bring up logan's you know rise to stardom 2007 to 2009 you're in a little bit of a

00:17:43.280 waiting room you get the release in 2014 june 2014 you come back you've had this fired was a 0.64

00:17:50.320 release that was fucking fired yeah but whatever you want to call it you've had this storied career 0.83

00:17:53.900 this story climb to where you are now at the at the height of the org does it does it bother you 0.98

00:17:59.060 at all deep down on the inside to see someone who doesn't have to pay those dues come in and

00:18:06.260 and achieve the level of stardom

00:18:08.220 to be able to wrestle next to you

00:18:09.680 in the big shows?

00:18:11.360 Yeah, absolutely not.

00:18:12.500 I'm Drew McIntyre.

00:18:13.380 I've had my own journey

00:18:14.440 and I have to overcome so much

00:18:15.660 to get where I'm at.

00:18:17.220 But I know how good I am.

00:18:18.360 I've got my spot.

00:18:19.720 So it doesn't bother me.

00:18:20.580 And if you can add to the show,

00:18:21.680 if you genuinely make a difference to the show,

00:18:23.200 bring eyeballs and put on performances

00:18:25.180 like someone like Logan.

00:18:26.100 I always say about Logan,

00:18:26.960 it's not the moves he does.

00:18:28.040 They're cool, they're spectacular,

00:18:29.200 they're viral, whatever.

00:18:30.380 It's the in-between stuff.

00:18:32.000 Some wrestlers wrestle their whole life.

00:18:33.320 They don't know who they are

00:18:34.180 or they play a character.

00:18:35.260 They're just not present.

00:18:36.260 they just can't be logan knows exactly who he is and those in between moments you're not

00:18:40.320 subconsciously thinking this just feels like a performance you're like okay this is like i'm

00:18:45.020 emotionally connected to this when he's on screen it's emotionally connected when i'm on screen

00:18:48.300 you're emotionally connected because we know exactly who we are it takes some of our talents

00:18:52.020 so long to figure that out so he's somebody no issue with some other people not so much i got

00:18:56.860 the question recently all the boys in the locker room were popping they were like you know if

00:19:00.000 somebody's got a you know family background in wrestling the nepotism thing does it bother you

00:19:05.160 I was like, no, of course not.

00:19:06.160 I'm Drew McIntyre.

00:19:07.100 I've got more opportunities,

00:19:08.060 but I do tell some of the guys in the locker room

00:19:09.620 when they're looking for opportunities,

00:19:11.200 maybe change your last name to Fatu.

00:19:12.860 You might get more opportunities.

00:19:14.920 Hey, how true is that?

00:19:15.860 Dude, what the hell, bro? 1.00

00:19:16.600 These Samoans are multiplying like bunny rabbits. 1.00

00:19:18.800 And bro, I love Samoans. 1.00

00:19:20.060 They're great, but there's so many of them. 1.00

00:19:22.260 Not all of them I love.

00:19:23.300 I love The Rock.

00:19:24.100 I love him.

00:19:25.000 Face the Project Rock right here.

00:19:26.560 Thank you, Dwin. 1.00

00:19:27.680 But the rest of the family can go fuck themselves. 1.00

00:19:30.760 Yeah, just talk to... 1.00

00:19:31.360 I like to swear.

00:19:32.280 Yeah, you can swear.

00:19:32.840 Oh, yeah.

00:19:33.060 You can swear. 1.00

00:19:34.060 Fuck you on. 1.00

00:19:34.580 very scottish what did you say yeah yeah why'd you why'd you get fired it sounds like there's 1.00

00:19:39.300 a little bit of resentment in that no no i had to get fired to find myself um truly i got signed so

00:19:45.800 young i was always like the man in the uk and europe i was always main events even from 16

00:19:51.220 years old right through to 21 everything was coming so easy to me i went to america

00:19:55.120 right away was put on television my third week in america i was wow this must be normal it wasn't

00:20:01.660 I was the chosen one, Vince McMahon.

00:20:03.340 As soon as I debuted on television,

00:20:05.100 the world was going to be mine until it wasn't.

00:20:07.180 You know, my professional life started crumbling.

00:20:08.860 My personal life, my mother got sick during this period,

00:20:11.220 eventually passed, and I went right off the deep end.

00:20:13.160 I was drinking every night.

00:20:14.600 I was an absolute train wreck.

00:20:16.200 I went from the guy saving the girl on the railroad tracks

00:20:18.540 to the comedy psychic on the show.

00:20:20.840 And eventually I had to get fired to step back

00:20:23.020 and not just find myself as a professional wrestler,

00:20:25.600 but find myself as a man.

00:20:26.940 That's the period where, thank God, I found my wife

00:20:29.780 and she helped me get me on the straight and narrow

00:20:32.280 because I was going down a very, very dark road during that time.

00:20:35.460 But three weeks outside the company,

00:20:37.660 that's the thing with social media.

00:20:38.740 That's where I first kind of discovered the power of it.

00:20:41.280 When I got fired, the reason, I deserved it.

00:20:44.180 But when I got fired, I was like, okay, here's my chance.

00:20:46.500 I'm either going to have to leave wrestling, get a regular job.

00:20:49.480 There wasn't any alternatives at the time.

00:20:51.000 WWE was the one company at the time.

00:20:53.360 I'm going to remake myself.

00:20:54.480 I'm going to use this thing on social media.

00:20:55.920 2014, it was really kicking off.

00:20:57.620 I'm going to take the fans around the world.

00:20:58.880 and I'm going to rebuild Drew McIntyre, which I did.

00:21:02.080 And it was going great for a couple of years,

00:21:03.480 but I was still out every night, these bad habits,

00:21:05.760 all these dark feelings.

00:21:07.540 And thankfully, I'd met my missus,

00:21:08.720 and she helped me work my way through them.

00:21:10.760 But I finally became a man.

00:21:11.880 And by the time I cut out so much negativity in my life,

00:21:14.700 I was back in WWE during that three-year period.

00:21:17.520 I redefined what it meant to be an independent wrestler.

00:21:19.580 I became a verb to do a Drew.

00:21:20.880 To get fired, become bigger than you were before,

00:21:23.520 and make WWE sign you back.

00:21:25.300 So what they tell the NXT talent is now,

00:21:27.260 is go out there and do a Drew.

00:21:29.720 Verb.

00:21:30.520 Whoa.

00:21:31.460 My man's a verb.

00:21:32.460 My tag team partner's a verb.

00:21:33.760 Heck yeah.

00:21:34.300 Cody did it, Drew, no?

00:21:35.820 Yeah, I mean, Cody watched what I was doing outside the company

00:21:38.740 and thought, man, I'm in Stardust, same thing.

00:21:41.240 Got the opportunities like me.

00:21:42.320 We were kind of tout it for the future.

00:21:44.200 And so I want to do what Drew's doing.

00:21:46.360 And he went outside and he did his own version of it,

00:21:48.880 which resulted obviously in another company.

00:21:51.220 So it's a different version.

00:21:52.300 But I set the groundwork for that.

00:21:54.520 And I'm sure when Cody and I get the chance to tell our story on TV,

00:21:57.620 We've known each other since we were, God, 21, 22 years old.

00:22:01.820 We're former tag team champions.

00:22:02.840 We were 23, 24 at the time.

00:22:04.760 We've had these parallel careers and obviously different destinations,

00:22:08.500 so that'll be a fun one down the line.

00:22:10.280 But, yes, he followed the McIntyre plan.

00:22:12.680 He did a Drew and turned it into Duna Cody.

00:22:15.120 Whoa.

00:22:16.180 Dude, you're one of the few wrestlers left who is, like, just massive,

00:22:21.000 like, absolutely massive.

00:22:23.080 Yeah, it's a shame, isn't it?

00:22:24.040 No, I mean, like, dude, I see people in real life sometimes,

00:22:26.740 like uh uh non-wrestling fans will see me and go wow you're a lot taller than i thought and

00:22:32.000 wrestling fans will see me and go dude you're a lot smaller than i thought but you're genuinely

00:22:36.500 a massive human being thank you i get that a lot as well you're like wow you're a lot bigger in

00:22:41.300 real life and i always get a bigger tv no but you're just you're just you're just a big dude

00:22:53.900 tallest person basically in air scotland i'm from a country of five million people um and there's not

00:22:59.420 many big guys like my buddy um tom stoltman is war's strongest man a few times he's six eight

00:23:05.540 like 400 pounds so he's the biggest guy in scotland but i was always head and shoulders

00:23:09.520 above everybody i was always in the back of the class pictures posture terrible walking around

00:23:13.880 like a praying mantis didn't have the size just so tall was so uncomfortable in my own body

00:23:18.000 thought it was a negative for so long but i wanted to be a wrestler since i was like five years old

00:23:22.380 and in wb specifically and eventually i was like wait a minute this is a good thing i got to embrace

00:27:01.280 and how we you know

00:27:02.340 get the crowd reaction etc

00:27:03.740 just made it so simple for me

00:27:05.040 what did undertaker says i don't know he just talks and riddles i came back after the match

00:27:09.800 and i was like ticker what did he think i was like stop playing the wrestler and be the wrestler 0.62

00:27:14.560 what the fuck does that mean i'm in wrestling gear i'm in a wrestling ring i don't understand 0.73

00:27:20.560 it took so long to realize oh he's saying i'm trying too hard i'm not present you can see 0.98

00:27:25.140 someone's eyes if they're there or not him in the moment but it took me so long for the light bulb

00:27:29.740 to go off with that you can finish your thought now sorry funny stories i just found that

00:27:33.540 interesting because yeah dude you have been doing this forever and so like maybe maybe this was

00:27:38.520 ignorant but like i didn't i wasn't really sure entirely like who who the character of drew

00:27:43.200 mcintyre was or moreover if it was like believable enough for me to buy into then i saw you just 0.99

00:27:48.800 smoking motherfuckers on the mic and and and and being funny too you're you're a bit of a troll 0.98

00:27:54.480 and i and i i resonate towards that like trolly social media vibe because because it you can see 1.00

00:28:00.400 on social media as well you're just fucking around with people going crazy viral well both of us are 0.98

00:28:05.320 pretty much the same we're not your average trolls we rip you apart behind the keyboard then we get 1.00

00:28:10.380 from behind the keyboard and we can kick your ass as well and if we weren't married we take your 0.99

00:28:13.540 girls too not your average trolls not at all but it seems like that's not super uh that's not super 1.00

00:28:21.520 common for for most wrestlers they're just not intelligent enough the good thing like i mean

00:28:25.860 you've got a great sense of humor and funny and don't get offended by everything but a lot of

00:28:30.220 people in america tend to get offended by a lot of things i'm from from the uk like our sense of

00:28:34.020 humor that we don't get offended by anything the way i talk to my friends my wife's american she'll

00:28:37.360 say they're your friends the way we talk to each other so it's mostly banter on there and it just

00:28:41.760 kind of took off and i started just having fun on there and then some of our superstars tried to 0.74

00:28:45.360 come back on there and i was like you're making a terrible mistake because i will smoke you dude 0.70

00:28:48.880 then you get in the ring you can't beat me up because i'm gonna beat you up in the ring too 0.92

00:28:51.420 you're putting people in a tough position you put you put me in a tough position once there

00:28:55.420 was a tweet once i saw i forget what it was it was something like about me or like a quote tweet

00:28:59.580 or something and i i literally was like damn i i'm the social media star but i'm not prepared

00:29:06.420 to go to social media war with drew i'm just i'd rather not i'd rather at least we're on the same

00:29:11.200 team now yeah no it's we can take everybody out it's amazing to watch it grow and it like it's

00:29:15.820 just unbelievable the power of social media as i say i learned it being outside the company but

00:29:20.220 specifically the last two years the power of it and watching the platform grow to i mean i guess 0.98

00:29:25.780 engagement perspective the most powerful in the company aside rhea ripley's ass 0.93

00:29:29.580 i mean i've seen the numbers these are facts 0.98

00:29:33.620 um so yeah it's just it's unreal that i just get to have a laugh take the piss and the thing is

00:29:39.840 it's not without the out the realms of the character because the character isn't the

00:29:42.840 character it's me like people are like um you know we're wwe i play this character and i'm this

00:29:47.120 person outside the ring i'm shut up man like no one's going to suspend their disbelief in that

00:29:50.800 case we're not it's not the same as doing a movie it was those things the movies no they do one

00:29:54.180 movie they're the character in the movie they're the regular name outside when they promote it and

00:29:57.720 they move on to the next project we're 52 weeks a year do you want people to buy in or not you want 0.96

00:30:01.640 people to spend money to see you get your butt kicked for your bad guy or not so you're gonna 1.00

00:30:05.580 turn it on and turn it off as far as i'm concerned you're an idiot because it seems to be working for 1.00

00:30:09.160 me and yourself to never turn it off because it's basically us it certainly is and and and some of 1.00

00:30:14.300 the stuff that you have go viral i mean like still bored at work went crazy oh yeah you took

00:30:19.660 Have I got this around here?

00:30:20.760 Oh, yeah, perfect.

00:30:21.560 We got the t-shirt handy?

00:30:22.360 Yeah.

00:30:23.160 It only took one year and three months.

00:30:25.000 Thanks, Merch Department.

00:30:25.940 But apparently it's doing well.

00:30:26.920 How did that take so long?

00:30:29.260 I do not know.

00:30:30.240 I pitched it right away.

00:30:31.540 And it took a while to get it.

00:30:32.900 I had to do it two years in a row at WrestleMania.

00:30:34.960 For those that don't know, during WrestleMania,

00:30:37.260 I wrestled Seth Rollins WrestleMania 40 for the world title,

00:30:39.780 which I won.

00:30:40.260 We don't have to talk about what happened after.

00:30:42.240 But during the match, I took a selfie and posted it on Twitter,

00:30:46.260 on X, during the match.

00:30:47.860 And it came about that day.

00:30:49.660 And nobody knew I was going to do it.

00:30:51.400 Like, my buddy and I were in the gym.

00:30:53.340 You know, I built myself a team around me over these past couple of years.

00:30:56.840 As you know all about, like, trying to bring in people you trust.

00:31:00.360 They had a soundboard off of.

00:31:01.640 And a lot of our superstars need that because they've embarrassed themselves online half the time or in interviews.

00:31:06.120 But I were in the gym.

00:31:07.220 And I was just like, man, like, imagine someone tweeted, like, during a match.

00:31:10.920 Like, you filmed yourself and then posted it, whatever.

00:31:13.000 That was cool.

00:31:13.560 And I was like, imagine someone did it in the match.

00:31:14.700 Imagine it was at Mania.

00:31:15.640 And I was like, man, it'd be so cool.

00:31:16.880 I don't think it's possible.

00:31:17.540 It's two last minute.

00:31:18.320 The Mania's on in a couple of hours.

00:31:19.340 so I have to go to the building.

00:31:20.740 And I thought about it.

00:31:21.460 I went, well, there's a moment

00:31:22.300 where I think it might be possible.

00:31:23.860 Tell you what, we'll make a plan.

00:31:25.500 And if it's possible, I'll do it,

00:31:26.680 but I'll never sacrifice the match,

00:31:27.960 the integrity of the match. 0.98

00:31:29.200 Or my opponent, make them look silly

00:31:30.580 if it doesn't work, but we'll have a plan.

00:31:32.660 So nobody knew in the back.

00:31:34.040 And I didn't know if it was going to happen.

00:31:35.620 But we had a moment where Seth

00:31:36.660 took an overhead suplex on the floor

00:31:38.140 and he's got the bad knees

00:31:39.340 going into that match, the bad back,

00:31:40.660 and he's selling on the floor.

00:31:42.000 And that's when it's time.

00:31:43.120 My brother was right there.

00:31:43.900 Give me the phone.

00:31:44.940 We did it right there on the fly.

00:31:46.480 They exploded.

00:31:47.120 you tweeted it live yeah did you have wait was it saved as a draft was the text ready to go

00:31:53.540 uh or you took the picture yes well there's a couple of couple of things to it but i took the

00:31:59.440 picture then i gave it off i already had it saved ready to go i just had to get added by my mate i

00:32:05.420 see and then sent out but it was done that quick okay yeah okay so there's a little bit peeling

00:32:09.640 back the curtain that's all you're getting from me but then a year later i was like can we do it

00:32:12.980 again i was like i probably not and we talked about it and then figured out a plan and sure

00:32:17.060 enough i went this will work here i think so we'll have it there if we need it good if we don't they

00:32:21.480 won't use it yeah and i managed to take the selfie with priest in the background this year still 0.97

00:36:21.780 Wait, so you're Scottish?

00:36:23.360 Yeah. That's why you talk like that?

00:36:25.040 You didn't know it? He's from the Scottish.

00:36:26.500 Just outside Alabama.

00:36:29.420 i'm just kidding uh uh yeah dude scotland um man i i remember the first time i i heard that uh

00:36:37.480 the language that people speak in scotland is is is english

00:36:41.660 yeah i mean i'm the most well-spoken scotsman in the world yeah but like myself and gerard

00:36:48.540 butler get hell from scottish people everyone else i have a scottish accent to yourself to

00:36:53.440 everyone backstage where i'm more difficult to understand obviously but i go back to scotland

00:36:58.040 and talk to people

00:36:58.720 and like,

00:36:58.960 why are you talking like that, man? 0.96

00:36:59.940 Why are you talking like a pure prick?

00:37:02.440 Oh, no way.

00:37:02.760 It's just a Scottish accent, man. 1.00

00:37:04.540 That's why. 0.99

00:37:06.440 Because nobody can understand us.

00:37:08.000 When I was younger,

00:37:08.880 I remember like,

00:37:10.220 again,

00:37:10.620 peeling back the curtain,

00:37:11.300 maybe I was supposed to win

00:37:12.060 a certain match,

00:37:12.900 a certain money in the bank contract

00:37:13.960 when I was a kid

00:37:14.600 in 2010

00:37:15.740 and the finish got changed

00:37:16.920 at the last second.

00:37:18.440 You know,

00:37:18.640 Kane ended up winning that one

00:37:20.060 and cashing out

00:37:20.540 and Ray Mysterio that night

00:37:21.480 and I remember I was so angry.

00:37:23.020 I went to the boss's office,

00:37:24.320 I kicked it in,

00:37:25.100 I cut this big promo,

00:37:26.420 big passionate promo

00:37:27.180 how we'd have to look to the future and give me the ball and I want this and I just gave this

00:37:31.180 massive speech that I was so proud of and he just looked at me put the glasses to the end of his

00:37:35.360 nose and said we're gonna have to get you elocution lessons true and I went okay sir 0.84

00:37:40.520 after this passionate speech of my life damn you cut a promo on the boss I did I did and he didn't 0.86

00:37:47.040 understand one word of it so I worked on that accent yeah fair no I just before you go I'm 0.97

00:37:53.480 just saying like dude i thought people from scotland spoke scottish i thought people from

00:37:57.660 ireland spoke irish come on logan you're smarter than i don't be a typical american evidently i 0.99

00:38:03.300 had to give a geography lesson on smackdown once because of this crap dude no how does that make 0.99

00:38:08.100 sense talking about how does that make sense because you don't teach an american spanish 0.98

00:38:12.040 yeah i know it's just american people from germany speak i mean no offense the american

00:38:16.680 skill system but offense yeah they don't teach a lot about the rest of the world it's like i was

00:38:20.680 does america i was like they were like i was told they speak english in ireland and scotland

00:38:26.460 not irish and scottish i'm like then why do they sound like that yeah in his defense sometimes it

00:38:32.080 sounds like a different language it really does gael gaelic do you know gaelic i do not i say the

00:38:38.100 basics slange of our for chills yeah anyways i would just yeah maybe maybe maybe i'm not as

00:38:45.080 educated as i thought i don't have a degree it's an american thing so he didn't know you had to

00:38:49.060 Again, I'm back into speaking facts.

00:38:52.440 I only tell the truth, you know, yeah.

00:38:54.160 But I talked to a lot of people

00:38:55.220 and I literally gave a geography lesson

00:38:57.160 on SmackDown one time.

00:38:58.620 I was explaining before Clash at the Castle,

00:39:01.800 the one with Priest, where Scotland is.

00:39:04.060 I was like, you know, there's Wales

00:39:05.380 where I had my first big match.

00:39:07.120 That's a separate country here.

00:39:08.300 Then there's England here

00:39:09.720 and Scotland's way up here.

00:39:11.600 I got back and I was like, man, I was kind of born.

00:39:13.900 I was like, I just wanted to do it to educate people.

00:39:15.580 yeah I don't I don't know if the WWE audience is capable of being educated I mean we've got

00:39:21.980 doctors and lawyers watching I keep getting told like who exactly like I've never met them I keep

00:39:26.420 getting told I don't know dude sometimes I look out in the crowd I'm just like bro what hole did

00:39:32.600 you crawl out of yeah there's a lot of them and to be fair you know that they're coming to the

00:39:37.260 shows and droves and I've wrestled in front of nobody and I've wrestled in front of Wrestlemania

00:39:42.040 of crowds and wrestling's hotter than it's ever been and i've seen the evolution slash devolution

00:39:46.400 halfway through and then where we're at now and how big the product is so i do appreciate all our

00:39:51.200 fans it's just i'm constantly having to educate them yeah no dude i appreciate them as well and

00:39:56.300 i appreciate how much their aesthetic puzzles me yes you know basically i mean look at our roster

00:40:02.240 as well yeah no even the wrestlers as well it's like what kind of relate to a lot of the guys

00:40:07.160 So that's me, the wrestling ring. 0.98

00:40:08.540 And I was like, yeah, it's stupid when they beat me up, isn't it? 0.98

00:40:10.320 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 0.98

00:40:12.780 Anyways, you were going to say something?

00:40:15.600 I'm having trouble keeping up with you two today, to be honest.

00:40:18.700 You guys should be a tag team.

00:40:20.020 You're incredible together.

00:40:21.500 You move at the speed of light.

00:40:23.120 How do you do it at 40 years old?

00:40:24.840 And do you feel like you're a victim of ageism on the internet ever?

00:40:27.840 Do people ever call you unk?

00:40:29.860 No, they don't call me.

00:40:30.820 I wish they would.

00:40:31.320 Do they say that you're pushing 50?

00:40:33.400 No, because we have a lot of guys that are older than me.

00:40:35.700 um but people think i'm older than i am actually like i'm a very young 40. you look great thank

00:40:40.520 you like the guy in the car earlier was like they were 30 hell no i'm a young 40 on the outside but 0.59

00:40:46.300 in the inside i've seen some shit wwe for 18 years america for 18 years um but uh god what was the 0.93

00:40:52.320 question again do you feel 40 no i don't how old do you feel oh yeah that i started so young i i feel 0.98

00:40:57.700 42 because i've been working hard in my body my body recently i've been doing this recovery stuff

00:41:03.140 I felt 60 before that but yeah but I've been around since I was whatever 21 I debuted in WWE 22 and

00:41:09.560 people have watched me as they grew up so when I meet people they say I watched you as a kid what

00:41:12.840 age are you I'm 45 or whatever I've just been around so long people think I'm closer to 50 and

00:41:17.980 I won't name some of the guys who are older Seamus old as hell but like there's some of our talent

00:41:23.080 like the new guys I remember we brought in some guys I don't want to name names the early night

00:41:27.520 yeah like they've got to get the kids over and stuff like the kid's three years older than me

00:41:31.560 If he doesn't get over now, he's never going to get over.

00:41:33.340 And he's doing well.

00:41:34.300 So I'm going to say something nice now.

00:41:35.980 Say something negative.

00:41:36.660 Say something nice.

00:41:37.300 That was good. 1.00

00:41:37.620 See, I got your shit in for you early night. 1.00

00:41:39.700 Good. 1.00

00:41:40.120 Couple of a sandwich.

00:41:41.460 Do you feel 40?

00:41:43.160 Today I do.

00:41:44.180 You're 40?

00:41:44.860 Yeah.

00:41:45.380 Oh, you don't look 40 either.

00:41:46.500 Today I do.

00:41:47.700 I'm not feeling.

00:41:48.280 I've been feeling a little under the weather.

00:41:50.380 It's because we're.

00:41:51.240 No, I was.

00:41:51.980 No, usually I could keep up.

00:41:53.120 I was traveling.

00:41:53.820 I was abroad.

00:41:54.580 I was out in the UK, actually.

00:41:56.240 Whereabouts?

00:41:56.500 Yeah, great.

00:41:57.200 I was in London.

00:41:58.100 All right.

00:41:58.600 Yeah.

00:41:58.840 Can I ask, as someone who has been doing this for a long time, what has it been like under the direction of Triple H versus Vince?

00:42:14.060 I mean, it's different.

00:42:15.320 Obviously, Hunter learned under Vince, and he created the world that we're currently in.

00:42:21.060 But Hunter is very much of the modern thinking.

00:42:24.020 um and for vince i think for me personally he had a certain image of me and he was always looking to

00:42:30.200 to protect me as this warrior character and just if i wanted to try something outside the box and

00:42:35.000 stuff i'm doing now like for me personally um it probably wouldn't happen just because he was like

00:42:40.120 no this is my my drew this is my warrior this is how i see it and hunter was very much of the

00:42:44.400 mindset i was now we're going to try something different we're going to let you not be i'm not

00:42:48.200 heal everything i said is true i'll fight everybody verbally and i'll beat you every time

00:42:51.560 i'm not a heel i'm justified in every action that i've done but we're going to try this and

00:42:56.120 let you be yourself and let this personality that he knew i had shine and um from the second we had

00:43:01.820 our first conversation when he took over it's been exactly that we've developed this character

00:43:05.420 mcintyre character and we watched what happened with the bloodline just how like wwe shouldn't be

00:43:09.760 black and white with 52 weeks a year we can grow these deep layered complex storylines these deep

00:43:14.620 layered complex characters if people are good enough at their job they become three-dimensional

00:43:18.740 you know, instead of so black and white.

00:43:20.340 And I knew I could do that because I've done it before outside the company.

00:43:22.960 Well, Hunter in Charge, I've been able to develop this Mac and Dyer character

00:43:25.760 where people know me inside and out.

00:43:27.160 They know my thinking.

00:43:28.300 They know exactly who I am.

00:43:29.440 And the character development has been so much fun

00:43:31.280 rather than some haphazards, lefts and rights.

00:43:33.620 It's been very consistent.

00:43:35.120 And is it primarily you working on developing that character?

00:43:39.240 I get a big voice in it, but it's our creative team.

00:43:41.560 It's Hunter himself.

00:43:42.300 It's all of us working together.

00:43:43.680 I mean, they come up with the plan.

00:43:45.000 Like, here's, you know, where we're going.

00:43:46.760 drew put your your color in it here's the outline and just ah i see here's the music drew put your

00:43:51.880 lyrics in there i see okay yeah because we were talking uh we were talking earlier about uh you

00:43:57.160 you just having your wife as a soundboard yes about the ideas off of her oh yeah when she doesn't

00:44:02.520 laugh i know it's funny yeah i was telling you the one about us sitting on here like the few of

00:44:06.680 the punk lines i was in the shower i was gonna do my best thinking as you said you do as well i was

00:44:10.300 like babe kill get through here i've got an idea i think we're hurt what's the matter i was okay

00:44:14.320 okay right CM Punk CM Punk you know what's ironic about CM Punk doesn't do drugs doesn't drink he's

00:44:21.880 straight edge yet he spends all his time in rehab because he's always hurt yeah so she didn't laugh

00:44:26.960 and I went that's a winner so I got that out so I was constantly yeah doing that and then there's

00:44:30.740 one you know obviously on the chemo gimmick that I ran by her that I don't know we can talk about

00:44:37.020 right now and she did not laugh so I knew it'd be funny and that's really the metric but I know

00:44:41.880 it's gonna get laughed because she didn't laugh what why is she it's just does she not have like

00:44:45.600 a sense of humor or like what's the i mean she just doesn't find me funny personally i don't

00:44:51.080 think how does that work yeah it's american i don't know like we've connected on basically

00:44:57.380 everything we are very opposites in a lot of ways that's why like you know um we're drawn to each

00:45:02.140 other i've been with people that were very much the same and um it just never never works we're

00:45:06.780 very much the opposite so like the parts that are i don't know like tetris pieces we just kind of

00:45:11.340 fit into each other perfect and kind of complete each other i love so do you so when you watch like

00:45:15.520 a comedy together like a funny movie does one person find it funny and the other person hates

00:45:20.500 it generally we laugh together at the the regular funny parts those other parts i'll laugh at and

00:45:25.400 she'll look at me and that's not why are you laughing at that we just watch final destination

00:45:28.420 at the beginning with somebody i don't know something horrific happened to them and that

00:45:31.620 person laughing that's not funny i was i mean it's just shocking oh so you have you have like

00:45:36.260 the dark sense of humor oh very dark yeah yeah very very british sense of humor yeah that makes

00:45:41.120 How did you meet your wife?

00:45:44.420 She always wanted to make up some story.

00:45:46.120 Like she fell off a bridge in a car, but in a bar.

00:45:48.240 The bar me and Seamus went to for 10 years.

00:45:49.980 Oh, no way.

00:45:50.800 McDenton's in Tampa.

00:45:52.020 Oh, in Tampa?

00:45:53.040 Oh, yeah.

00:45:53.420 She just walked in?

00:45:54.440 I mean, I lived there for 12 years, whatever.

00:45:57.080 Seamus and I had been going to the same place for years.

00:45:58.800 She walked in.

00:45:59.320 It was a quiet night.

00:46:00.680 And I remember she was wearing little white shorts.

00:46:02.300 It caught my attention.

00:46:03.440 Occasionally, she'll not feel so good about herself.

00:46:06.040 And I'll remind her how hot she is.

00:46:07.700 And I'll say, babe, when I looked across the bar at you, I thought,

00:46:09.640 I bet she's got a good sense of humor.

00:46:11.240 I bet she's got a great personality.

00:46:13.420 So then I got to know that part of you.

00:46:15.280 But yeah, it's your looks, babe.

00:46:16.420 Then I got to know the personality.

00:46:18.480 Wow, that's a classic story.

00:46:20.240 It is.

00:46:20.640 She doesn't like it.

00:46:21.200 She wants a more exciting one, but that's it.

00:46:23.720 It's great.

00:46:24.620 It's a classic story.

00:46:25.560 Now it's either you don't have a story

00:46:29.160 because no one's getting together anymore.

00:46:32.600 Yeah, I just miss those, thank God.

00:46:35.260 It just did not seem like a lot of fun.

00:46:36.720 I can't imagine me back in the dating world.

00:46:38.260 I'm just seeing the way like all the tinders and everything started right after that and just

00:46:42.920 yeah the way people date now I don't know you're doing you're creating some super stds yo

00:46:49.140 do you have kids uh not that I know of no I'm joking I don't do what kids uh yeah I mean

00:46:58.480 we've talked about it uh the way the schedule is now is certainly um the first time I've started

00:47:03.480 thinking okay maybe we're getting close to time like I've always wrestled I've always been on

00:47:07.040 the road i knew i'd have to sacrifice things that i want in my life if i wanted to take this as far

00:47:11.260 as i could being away from my family were so important to me for for so long i am and we used

00:47:16.660 to be three four days a week every single week and it used to be even crazier when i first started and

00:47:21.620 i remember having a conversation with nick can he told me it's going to slow down i promise

00:47:25.260 whatever with a couple of family tragedies i was like i need to get some more time off to be my

00:47:29.160 family and he guaranteed me it's slowing down wrestling's changing and sure enough now the way

00:47:33.640 the schedule is it's great for the talent to you know keep our bodies together but also keep your

00:47:38.040 families together and now i can see a world if i had a kid and when i have a kid that i can be

00:47:42.000 present when they're a baby i don't want to be on the road just watching them on facetime i want to

00:47:45.920 be a present dad yeah it sucks it sucks i i have a nine-month-old daughter and uh i don't leave for

00:47:52.340 long super long periods of time but even when i'm gone for like three to seven days my my wife

00:47:58.980 well fiance almost wife about to be wife will send me videos of of esme just like playing around

00:48:04.580 and it's like i don't know it's i love seeing the videos but it does eat at you a little bit

00:48:10.300 so i i guess what i'm saying is i really respect you making that or waiting to make that decision

00:48:14.720 because uh yeah it could weigh on you if you're not prepared a lot of people tell me just you know

00:48:20.720 get it done you know earlier so you're younger and you get those like quality times so it's good

00:48:24.500 you've you know you all you know have the kid there and you're young and when you're whatever

00:48:29.300 age um i would do the math right now because we're talking about intelligent i don't want

00:48:32.960 myself looked up but uh but you'll be young enough you know to to be there for all the

00:48:37.480 important moments so i'll be a i'll be an older dad but it has been a conscious decision to put

00:48:42.160 it all into the career and i know how my brain is i know how laser focused i get and you know

00:48:46.520 the wife isn't a big wrestling fan i am and it allows me the the balance of my life that i needed

00:48:51.320 because I'm such a psychotic wrestling fan.

00:48:53.060 She's not a wrestling fan.

00:48:54.260 No, no.

00:48:54.660 Do you guys have anything in common?

00:48:56.880 Yeah, we love each other and doing it

00:48:58.920 and spending time together on our cats.

00:49:00.780 And that one bar in Tampa.

00:49:02.800 Yeah, we live in Nashville now,

00:49:04.000 so we reminisce about that one bar.

00:49:06.600 But no, we've actually moved out to the country.

00:49:09.200 When I say Nashville, we're way out,

00:49:10.620 away from everybody.

00:49:11.640 We keep getting further and further from neighbors.

00:49:13.300 We're becoming more hermits in order we get,

00:49:15.080 which means we really enjoy each other's company.

00:49:16.920 We enjoy your cat's company.

00:49:17.980 And human beings don't interest us.

00:49:20.360 You guys watch any movies recently, any shows, anything like that?

00:49:24.460 Consumed content?

00:49:25.800 Yeah, we've powered through a bunch of different shows recently.

00:49:29.320 It's whatever's kind of current we watch.

00:49:31.480 We watched Ballerina the other day.

00:49:33.360 Oh, yeah, how was that?

00:49:34.140 Did you see that?

00:49:35.120 I didn't see it.

00:49:35.740 Good, I enjoyed it.

00:49:36.880 The new superhero movie as well, The Thunderbolts.

00:49:40.000 Enjoyed that as well.

00:49:41.100 That was pretty good.

00:49:41.980 She's not a big superhero person.

00:49:43.020 She didn't like it, but I thought it was fun.

00:49:44.500 Would you ever consider doing movies?

00:49:47.500 I mean, I did a bit part in Batista's movie, Killer's Game.

00:49:52.180 Dave's always looked out for me since I was a kid.

00:49:53.900 And when I was screwing up, he'd be the only one to kind of pull me aside and give me advice, look out for me.

00:49:57.660 And then sure enough, years later, it becomes this huge movie star and calls me and goes,

00:50:01.280 hey, Drew, you know, you want this opportunity in this movie.

00:50:03.780 This character is just perfect for you.

00:50:05.460 And I was like, oh, OK, I never really thought about doing this.

00:50:08.420 People always tell me, you look like you've fallen out of Game of Thrones or Braveheart or something.

00:50:11.340 Maybe you should try something like this and, you know, it might be fun for you.

00:50:15.200 And I went to the set.

00:50:16.400 I was terrified.

00:50:17.320 He relaxed me.

00:50:18.220 And as soon as that red light goes on, it's amazing what WWE prepares you for.

00:50:21.040 I've been in front of a camera my whole life.

00:50:22.860 Again, seeing more, you know, humans not so comfortable around.

00:50:26.160 But as soon as we're on a camera or whatever, as soon as I see a red light, I'm like, oh, okay, I can relax now.

00:50:30.760 I see the red light.

00:50:31.600 That's so interesting.

00:50:32.300 The red light came on.

00:50:32.940 I was, boom, right in the park.

00:50:34.100 Had fun.

00:50:34.760 Got some great feedback.

00:50:36.140 And thought maybe I will do this one day.

00:50:37.800 Or maybe at least if the right opportunity comes, I'll do it.

00:50:40.140 Yeah, because even your aesthetic is so unique.

00:50:43.500 for anything medieval

00:50:45.200 or Game of Thrones-y,

00:50:47.240 I feel like you could definitely have a second career.

00:50:49.600 You could be one of the wrestlers that has a second career

00:50:51.440 in acting. Maybe. Or maybe you'll just

00:50:53.680 never see me again. Like, I keep telling everybody,

00:50:55.460 when I'm gone, I'm gone. You won't see me coaching on some TV

00:50:57.680 show or begging for your attention. When Drew McIntyre

00:50:59.940 is gone, he might just be gone forever, so

00:51:01.620 enjoy it when you can. What are you going to do?

00:51:03.420 And what's the reason? Hobbies.

00:51:05.360 Again, my wife did say, you really better

00:51:07.700 talk to Logan about building this branding,

00:51:09.700 using your name right now, and expanding. And she's right.

00:51:11.780 we have like a couple of you know properties and the likes and investments but she was like you're

00:51:16.140 gonna get so bored so you got to just start working on something now so she wants that to run and i'll

00:51:20.260 be the face of it but i want hobbies i've started i'm in nashville i've started like shooting and

00:51:23.520 stuff i'm like wow this is kind of fun shooting guns yeah like targets yeah i'm pretty good at

00:51:28.380 it actually it just came naturally my dad used to be in the raf briefly royal air force he was

00:51:32.740 very good shot and apparently it gets passed down because i was just nailing that bullseye one after

00:51:36.660 really yeah what are their hobbies that's about it i'm trying to find them golf i'll try i'll try

00:51:43.460 golf eventually because i'm scottish i guess what about you ever heard of disc golf no dude oh we

00:51:49.140 talk about it all the time but we never do it no we never do it we have to we have to go yeah it's

00:51:53.580 throwing a frisbee into like a high quality frisbee towards i'm not sure how it'd be my hands

00:51:58.900 like in the uk i only played with soccer like football the real football you kick your foot

00:52:03.340 you know yeah um so everything with the hands i'm awful when i come over like in some of the shows

00:52:08.300 and some of the boys are shooting hoops or throwing american football around i'm like i'm not touching

00:52:12.660 that suddenly i look very unathletic like cody that recent appearance was a fanatics fest yeah

00:52:16.720 god don't do that again i mean i mean bro it can't be worse than me i mean i guess watch it

00:52:21.820 like ria was hitting one after another oh she i saw the eclipser she crossed yeah yeah how does

00:52:27.100 australian woman have an arm like that for a football throwing the pigskin i have no idea

00:52:31.180 Oh, well, they've got Aussie football over there.

00:52:33.120 Oh, they got rugby, right?

00:52:34.700 Yeah, yeah, rugby and Aussie rules football.

00:52:36.520 Oh, wow.

00:52:37.240 Oh, yeah.

00:52:37.640 So, yeah, maybe from there.

00:52:38.720 I don't know.

00:52:39.140 She's just a natural athlete, everything.

00:52:40.820 I mean, you know, a lot of people got exposed in that competition.

00:52:44.160 You know, I'll certainly speak for myself that it turns out I'm really just good at wrestling and, like, punching stuff.

00:52:52.800 That's all you need?

00:52:53.480 Yeah, which is fine, I guess.

00:52:55.480 If I'm good at something, I don't like to do it.

00:52:58.080 Oh, really?

00:52:58.560 I used to be good at pool when I was a kid because I'm from Scotland.

00:53:01.940 My parents were always in the pub,

00:53:03.020 so my brother and I just go shoot pool all the time.

00:53:05.040 It was really good when I was a kid.

00:53:06.080 If you don't use it, you lose it.

00:53:07.140 I played that game when I came to America.

00:53:08.280 I was like, I'm going to show them.

00:53:09.100 I'm going to play pool and just wipe the floor with all these guys.

00:53:11.920 Boom, terrible, gave up right away.

00:53:13.160 Got smoked.

00:53:13.880 Yeah, tried some darts.

00:53:15.260 Oh, awful.

00:53:16.040 If I'm not good at something right away, I'm quitting it.

00:53:18.260 Yeah, you've got to work on the hobbies, man,

00:53:19.920 because you will get bored.

00:53:22.420 You're going to get bored.

00:53:23.180 You've got to build that brand outside.

00:53:25.060 Do you look up to William Wallace?

00:53:28.560 Well, of course, he got us on the path to getting our freedom. 0.97

00:53:32.480 So we're and pillaged by the English for so freaking long. 1.00

00:53:34.860 Not recently. 1.00

00:53:35.700 Historically.

00:53:36.180 It wasn't like me personally.

00:53:37.120 Yeah.

00:53:37.660 But yeah, he put us on the path.

00:53:39.420 What a Scottish hero.

00:53:40.280 And then obviously Robert the Bruce finished the job in 1314 at the Battle of Bannockburn. 0.94

00:53:44.620 Not that I know every little fact about our country, but I fucking love Scotland.

00:53:47.660 And I hate that I never got to see as much of it as I'd like to have growing up. 0.60

00:53:51.360 Because when you grow up in the country and there's a castle ruin at the end of your street from the 10th century,

00:53:55.420 you're like whatever you come to america and it's suddenly oh you get great history in your

00:53:59.360 country i don't care in my early 20s give me the booze and the birds yeah the more you keep going

00:54:03.960 this is a really old drill this is a really old building it was built in the 1950s yeah like oh

00:54:09.500 my god that's crazy let me tell you about the castles in my street yeah whatever now i've

00:54:13.660 started learning more about my history and i've got i've a longing to go back to scotland it

00:54:17.480 really has a pull on you i've been scottish the longer you're away i can't wait to you know see

00:54:21.800 more of the land and learn more about the history that i don't know interesting yeah dude my dad

00:54:25.560 loved braveheart the movie braveheart 100 historically accurate just don't check any

00:54:29.720 history books uh but the premise is right did william wallace really get tortured like that

00:54:35.720 at the end did yeah that part's accurate that's pretty that was pretty brutal it was pretty brutal

00:54:40.020 and all he was doing was trying to give his people a free life and not be slaves so that's

00:54:45.220 why he's a hero do you uh how many swords do you have i have three on the wall in my office that

00:54:52.680 i've used in wwe is one of them the one that the rock gave you didn't the rock gave you a sword

00:54:57.580 he did when i re-signed with wwe um just over a year ago now um i had a meeting in la and we got

00:55:04.760 a nice little surprise sword uh from rock and a nice little note that i never have and never will

00:55:10.100 share with the world it was very cool oh really again he's somebody that's always looked out for

00:55:13.120 The people we have around us now have just always been there for me,

00:55:17.040 like Hunter, obviously, and Creative, and Rock.

00:55:20.380 Since I was a kid, I remember meeting him when he first came back to WWE,

00:55:23.840 and he went out of his way to say hi.

00:55:25.500 I just didn't want to bother him.

00:55:26.580 And I remember being on a flight one time,

00:55:28.060 and his ex-wife, Danny, was there.

00:55:29.160 His business partner said such positive things about me.

00:55:31.700 And TMZ in 2018, he was asked, who do you think is the future star?

00:55:35.520 And I was doing nothing of relevance at the time, even Drew McIntyre.

00:55:38.940 And eventually, now it's evolved to where we're at now

00:55:41.460 with the face of Project Rock.

00:55:42.600 he's someone that's always been so sick and looked after him which is very cool and sometimes like

00:55:46.480 our smart fans on the internet was oh drew if you hit the bloodline so much why do you like the rock

00:55:50.700 i don't hate them because whatever the part of the family if you wrong me personally then i don't

00:55:55.580 like you you know jay is so roman reigns just because he does this now jay and says you that

00:56:01.260 you like him it doesn't mean i like him i got pts thief what his family did to me roman went on 0.95

00:56:04.540 vacation drank some margaritas got some abs you like him now doesn't mean i like him screwing me

00:56:08.760 over in front of my family yeah rock's always looked out for me if you look at mcintyre every

00:56:13.180 single thing you consider i've done wrong i can explain every single thing justify every single

00:56:17.360 thing and prove to you would do the same thing and that's why i'm not a bad guy you're not a bad

00:56:21.520 guy no just tell the truth and yes same bro in the world we live in people just don't like to

00:56:26.440 hear the truth exactly they want to then you tell them and they're like well i don't want to hear

00:56:29.340 that i just want to live in my little show yeah facts are tough dude facts are tough that's why

00:56:32.480 you got to bring receipts you got to bring receipts and make green screen videos about people

00:56:35.660 i need a green screen you need a green screen there's something we can work on together actually

00:56:39.940 actually brother you should do that you don't you don't need a green screen on instagram there's a

00:56:44.860 there's a uh effect where it puts a green screen behind you so so even when i don't have my infamous

00:56:50.980 notorious green screen that i absolutely just body people on who lie on my name you could just do it

00:56:57.280 on instagram if you need to make an emergency green screen video all right so my brain's going

00:57:01.620 and now we're a team

00:57:02.280 we've got so much power

00:57:04.500 what's that

00:57:04.880 Spider-Man is a quote

00:57:06.660 with great power

00:57:07.540 comes great responsibility

00:57:08.400 yeah we're going to 0.98

00:57:09.060 abuse the fuck out of that 0.98

00:57:09.940 that's right 0.98

00:57:10.420 it certainly feels like that

00:57:12.480 Ragebait

00:57:14.360 what did you say? 0.87

00:57:15.780 Ragebait

00:57:16.140 Ragebait 0.99

00:57:16.980 the Ragebaiters

00:57:17.940 how do you feel about that name?

00:57:20.020 do you still like that name?

00:57:21.420 no

00:57:21.700 I mean it just came to my mind

00:57:23.200 just

00:57:23.480 because people just get so annoyed

00:57:24.880 sometimes when they say stuff

00:57:25.900 sometimes they pop

00:57:26.580 sometimes they get annoyed

00:57:27.440 I don't care

00:57:28.020 it's just

00:57:28.500 I actually had some

00:57:29.720 I actually had some

00:57:30.600 some ideas

00:57:32.580 for tag team

00:57:34.540 names for you and I

00:57:35.500 what do they call themselves RK Roll

00:57:38.680 that's basically

00:57:40.320 the Maverick Warriors the first thing pop in your head

00:57:42.300 okay we could do

00:57:44.200 Forever Over

00:57:46.440 Forever Over

00:57:47.700 F.O.

00:57:49.700 F.O.

00:57:51.260 F.O. Forever

00:57:52.560 The faces that run the places

00:57:55.100 I think that's been done

00:57:57.420 wasn't that AJ

00:57:58.640 was it oh hell no then the hell no um uh the batman because it's like where it's like batman

00:58:07.740 and robin but we're both batman we're both batman so it's we're bat we're the batman i don't know

00:58:13.520 the name but the vibe is good so right so whatever so rage mate then yeah we're the 1.00

00:58:19.440 Well, let's just big, sexy bastards. 1.00

00:58:23.700 That's fucking cool. 1.00

00:58:25.660 That's cool. 0.99

00:58:26.800 BSB.

00:58:28.080 Because it reminds me of kind of like Fat Bastard from Austin Powers.

00:58:32.100 I believe he was Scottish as well.

00:58:34.460 He was supposed to be Scottish.

00:58:35.940 He's like a combination of you and Jelly Roll, that guy.

00:58:38.620 He is a combination of me and Jelly Roll.

00:58:40.620 Does Boston have like a history of like Black Plague or something like that?

00:58:43.620 Black Plague?

00:58:44.300 Yeah, did the potato famine ever touch Scotland?

00:58:47.700 um like did anything bad ever really bad ever happen there yeah we briefly talked about the

00:58:52.660 english enslaving us but uh yeah i mean yeah the plague the plague reached its way to scotland 0.96

00:58:57.460 from england so what they can embody that a little bit oh the oh the plaguers the potato famines 0.62

00:59:04.100 potato that was more of an ireland thing we helped out our brothers dude what's up with the english

00:59:08.460 all celtic yeah i mean scotland england sorry scotland ireland and wales we're all celtics

00:59:13.560 and then English or not.

00:59:15.620 I'm still the British guy.

00:59:16.720 I'm the only ever British world champion ever, three times,

00:59:19.340 and the only ever British Royal Rumble winner ever

00:59:20.920 because, yeah, there's no one.

00:59:22.200 From England, I guess it was good enough.

00:59:23.620 You name it, Rego, the British Bulldog, Wade Barrett.

00:59:25.980 Ah, nobody got it done.

00:59:28.240 Old Big Mac here.

00:59:29.180 Let's go.

00:59:30.920 Okay, so look, I don't know if you know this or not.

00:59:33.500 I mentioned it on SmackDown last week,

00:59:36.720 but our podcast, this one that you're watching right now at home,

00:59:41.660 we just signed a deal with Fanatics

00:59:44.080 and the WWE

00:59:45.300 so we're now part of the, yeah thank you so much

00:59:47.720 we're now officially a part of the family, thank you Dylan

00:59:49.640 thank you very much

00:59:50.580 and we got a question for you on behalf of Fanatics

00:59:53.820 and us

00:59:55.520 we're just kind of curious about it

00:59:56.640 would you want your next shirt to be?

00:59:57.980 yeah

00:59:58.200 no, if you could go back in time

01:00:03.620 and give your younger self

01:00:05.660 a legendary piece of memorabilia

01:00:08.080 what would it be?

01:00:09.560 oh that's a good one i thought it was going to be the advice thing and i say the same thing i

01:00:13.880 wouldn't change anything well because as you know fanatics they're known for having a bunch of cool

01:00:18.600 memorabilia and sign merchandise and stuff i mean for this one it would just change my life if i

01:00:26.380 answer something like some crazy rookie card that's worth a fortune then it changes my life

01:00:31.400 and i'm not the guy i am now so it just has to be something personal oh you think about like the

01:00:35.080 butterfly effect yeah i mean you change one thing especially something that's significant

01:00:39.380 if I give young Drew something worth a few million pounds,

01:00:42.760 a few million dollars.

01:00:43.740 It significantly changes my journey

01:00:45.600 and the man I am today.

01:00:46.980 What would you do with it?

01:00:48.040 Sell it or something?

01:00:49.880 Yeah.

01:00:50.700 Young Drew.

01:00:51.360 He doesn't have any money. 1.00

01:00:52.200 I grew up with check shit. 0.99

01:00:54.780 Okay. 0.99

01:00:55.940 So the way I would do it is something personal.

01:00:57.680 Let's think this through.

01:00:58.420 Something personal that's worth money,

01:00:59.780 but not like life changing

01:01:01.660 and no retirement kind of money.

01:01:05.280 So I would go with like an,

01:01:07.500 something signed by Ali McCoy,

01:01:08.740 my favorite Glasgow Rangers football soccer player.

01:01:12.200 So that would be personal to me.

01:01:13.480 It would be worth money, but not like something crazy,

01:01:16.200 like try to think of any American football player, John Mann.

01:01:21.140 Pat McAfee.

01:01:22.380 Pat McAfee.

01:01:23.740 The guy from Ace Ventura.

01:01:25.320 Dan Marino, Ricky Collins.

01:01:27.580 A lot, yeah.

01:01:28.160 When I first came to America, like Seamus and I used to screw with everybody,

01:01:30.960 going like, talking to Michael Jordan.

01:01:32.580 I was like, the Space Jam guy, and pretend we didn't know he played basketball,

01:01:36.280 drove everybody crazy.

01:01:37.080 how do you find American culture

01:01:39.840 Michael Jordan rookie card

01:01:41.120 worth a lot of money

01:01:43.020 you do?

01:01:44.840 that Pokemon card 0.88

01:01:46.940 I ain't giving Young Drew any of that crap 0.99

01:01:48.680 he would screw it up 0.99

01:01:49.580 use it on blow

01:01:52.540 use it on blow

01:01:53.980 use it on blow

01:01:57.060 I see

01:01:58.900 I didn't know you were thinking that deep about it all

01:02:02.620 you gotta think about everything three dimensionally

01:02:04.380 our superstars really really don't

01:02:06.560 they say stuff all the time like god and some people go why would drew say that might you know

01:02:10.280 be get him in trouble whatever the thing is whatever i say it's always in line with drew

01:02:13.640 mcintyre just think about things three-dimensionally think about things that's going to affect my

01:02:18.760 personal like life or is this going to affect my work life it might give me a slap on the wrist i

01:02:23.100 get a lot of that if i go too far i get hunter's the first one there to go nope and pull me right

01:02:27.280 back but at the same time it's a lot easier to pull somebody back and push them forward you've

01:02:31.300 wrestled with triple h correct oh yeah hunter and sean eliminated me from my first royal rumble oh

01:02:36.120 no way 2010 it was so insane it blew my mind i was wow dx are eliminating me for sure a question 0.61

01:02:42.260 is it is it hard or is it was it weird for you to then take a direction from someone

01:02:51.680 who you used to wrestle with and is now your boss no i mean not him specifically like we never got

01:02:58.160 in the ring too many times but i've always like looked up to him and i see i always seen him as

01:03:02.540 somebody that is like a mentor veteran learning from all the time ever since i was a kid now is

01:03:07.400 exactly the same if i've got an idea i know i can take it to him and he can make it 10 times bigger

01:03:12.500 or just a slight change of the camera position whatever i am so i've always thought of him as

01:03:17.120 oh i'll ask triple h he knows i want to ask you you know as your tag team partner i too am always

01:03:23.280 trying to learn and just absorb uh do you have any advice for me or is there is there something

01:03:29.500 i should be thinking about as i progress in my own personal wwe career

01:03:34.460 i mean everything's been a slam dunk so far just keep doing what you're doing not just in the

01:03:45.160 present but okay where is this going to get me what's the next evolution of logan paul because

01:03:49.780 eventually people don't believe it and you're going to laugh when i say it mark's out there

01:03:53.820 but eventually you're going to turn babyface like dominic's doing right now when there's a fine line

01:03:58.200 between love and hate and eventually you're going to be getting wildly cheered down the line so it's

01:04:02.220 just doing what you're doing running your mouth being yourself having a laugh making this thing

01:04:06.320 with us as big as possible and just keep making those slam dunks because eventually in a couple

01:04:09.980 of years as i say that a line between love and hate is so thin yeah it's just going to go the

01:04:14.660 other way and you're not going to be like oh god okay good guy now the thing is when you do turn

01:04:18.140 good guys out there and girls here's some advice there's no one asks advice anymore i don't care

01:04:21.560 be terrible but um god what was my point uh could have been anything i'm just off off on a random

01:04:31.700 tangent right now and my brain shut off on me piece of advice piece of advice piece of advice

01:04:35.820 um i don't know i don't want to give everyone advice clearly my brain shut down i mean i was

01:04:39.980 going to give everyone else i was giving you advice my brain shut down and he was like actually 0.99

01:04:44.120 fuck you yeah come and ask me if you want to yeah his advice is fuck off yeah it's so funny my brain 1.00

01:04:49.600 literally shut down in the moment i went this never happens to me why my brain shut down it 1.00

01:04:52.960 clearly does my subconscious doesn't want to give advice maybe it's from that bump you took

01:04:57.000 last week or a few weeks ago you took a crazy bump with damien priest i thought you were sober

01:05:02.080 uh uh it's a it's what we call when we land oh a wrestling bump oh no yeah none of those bumps

01:05:08.340 but uh yeah i missed the the table there was two tables i took a choke slam off of a platform

01:05:13.820 was about 10 foot high and hit my head on the ground which was not ideal yeah not at all man

01:05:21.140 no no no I wasn't feeling too good my neck wasn't feeling too good but thankfully I'm Drew McIntyre 0.57

01:05:25.560 and I bounced back and dude you get you get fucked up Drew you specifically I remember at uh what was 0.81

01:05:31.380 it it was uh elimination chamber by the way I I dove off the or jumped off the top of the 0.96

01:05:38.340 elimination chamber cross-bodied you actually i afterwards i was like oh i hope that guy's okay

01:05:44.300 um my night caught you yeah yeah yeah my job to make sure you're safe you're coming off the

01:05:49.300 platform and i no i was fine trust me i was good but after the match i heard you had busted your

01:05:56.020 eardrum you're getting cooked out there bro yeah i was mildly annoyed i don't think this one reached

01:06:02.280 the internet actually every time i get angry it seems to make the internet because when i get

01:06:05.980 angry I get really angry I'm pretty calm most of the time even in my anger when I'm beating people

01:06:09.900 up I'm calm but yeah when I flip I really flip I think I tore up the training room after that one

01:06:14.460 because I was so upset that I thought I might miss Wrestlemania oh man one elimination chamber

01:06:18.900 gonna fight for the title in mania everything's finally on track the character's on track yeah

01:06:22.580 the career's on track everything feels right and uh my mind I could be out so I yeah ripped apart

01:06:28.680 the the training room and took Larry Heck the trainer to to calm me down I was so freaking

01:06:33.060 angry yikes do you think seth's injury is a work or a shoot i mean i want him to be okay

01:06:38.740 of course um he's somebody's a professional rival not a personal rival um because like

01:06:44.860 obviously being someone who's in the business but also someone who watches it as a fan

01:06:50.900 i i don't even know what's what's real i just don't see the benefit if it was a storyline like

01:06:57.240 it's money the bank briefcase it's going to be a surprise anyways hi i threw a match and then did

01:07:00.860 this it just doesn't i see so you're but maybe there's more to it if it becomes a story and i'm

01:07:04.880 just not seeing the bigger picture i just i hope his knees okay is the big thing me me too it just

01:07:09.680 man i just never know what to expect from these guys i'm always like keeping all i mean i love a

01:07:13.680 surprise i just at the same time i can't see it but at the same time i don't have to be able to

01:07:18.080 see it if there's a bigger plan and i'm like oh okay yeah yeah yeah which they often do yeah and

01:07:22.920 our fans are always trying to figure out things like all the time like try to get to the it was

01:07:26.400 the finish i'm like did you say that up in movies just give it a second yeah there might not be a

01:07:29.840 finish might still be workshopping yeah to get there and everyone relax and watch the stories

01:07:33.560 it plays out because half the time we're playing and figuring out what plays out yeah well dude

01:07:37.920 i'm i'm really excited to move forward with you on this and uh fuck up jelly roll and randy orton 0.53

01:07:42.960 in summer slam i think i think we're gonna do some damage we're gonna do some serious serious 0.98
