Drew McIntyre

“There's so much more to being a 'top guy' than what you see on screen that I really learned.”

“I will never say anything negative about WWE.”

“There are a lot of people very sure of themselves that need to be brought back down to Earth. As good as they think they are, they're really not.”

“I've experienced the highest of highs and been in every single position, and that has taught me so much.”

“The goal is become the top person on 'Raw,' the example on 'Raw,' the John Cena, the ultimate workhorse of 'Raw.'”

“That's all I ever wanted - to go out as myself and have the success or failure fall on me.”

“The fans in Scotland are great, but in New York, the fans are also great: they are mental.”

“I'm still the biggest wrestling fan there is; I'm the biggest mark in the land. I just took it further and started doing it!”

“I was a big fan of Bret Hart growing up, and Shawn Michaels, the Undertaker, Triple H. I've probably drawn from them when I was younger.”

“I tell people that the best thing that can ever happen to you is getting fired, and you can either sink or swim, and I swam like hell. The reason why I swam the way I swam was because there was nothing else for me.”

“I treat everyone how I would like to be treated, and I try to treat this industry and this job with the respect it deserves.”

“Johnny Gargano is someone I've known for years - we've been EVOLVE Tag Team Champions together; we've wrestled each other many times over the years.”

“When Vince McMahon said I was going to be a future world champion, he didn't say when.”

“From a boy who left university as a student straight to WWE - those experiences, those ups and downs in life and work shaped the wrestler and man I am today.”

“The live events are more interactive for the fans. With TV, you have the cameras there, commercial breaks where the fans can tell there's a down moment. At the live events, it's non-stop. We get to play with the audience; the crowd gets to get involved a little more. It's a very intimate feel.”

“Anything can happen in pro wrestling.”

“I am happy to do anything that comes my way, and I will always do my best in anything that presents itself.”

“I was a boy that grew up in front of the world on television. Now I'm a man.”

“Undertaker, right up until his last day, was working full time constantly, even when he was beat up, had fire in his eyes. If he couldn't walk, he was flying around, and he was The Undertaker in every way. That was such an inspiration.”

“I was always impressed by the Road Warriors and Legion of Doom. They were just so large and bigger than life in every possible way.”
