“So I was like, ‘Oh Ok.’ And that moment I sat down and thought to myself, ‘Ok, here’s your opportunity. You can think to yourself, you can do so much more than you’re doing. You have a lot of people that believed in you and asked you why aren’t you stepping up your game and you know, you’re not giving it your all and I told myself that day, you’re never not gonna give 100% in every area from this day forward. I’m gonna show the world who the real Drew Galloway or Drew McIntyre really is.’”

Drew McIntyre immediately found his next job

McIntyre wasted no time getting back on his feet. He quickly planned his next course of action and made a game plan.

“And from that moment I started putting together my plan of how I was gonna get it there and within about 3 hours I’d arranged my first appearance in Scotland,” says McIntyre. “I had my appearance against Big Show in Glasgow and thankfully that went well and Mick Foley talked it over on Stone Cold’s podcast, got the ball rolling.”

“It gave me a huge platform, a huge opportunity and from there I just kept steamrolling and steamrolling and thankfully people just kept giving me these opportunities and I was able to prove that I was an actual franchise player and able to carry the company on my back and more importantly as you said I went from his boy to finally growing up and living with as a man doing what he’s supposed to do,” concludes McIntyre.
