Drew McIntyre Comments on His Mentality for Giving Wrestling Advice to Others

A recent episode of the Huge Pop podcast featured Drew McIntyre as the guest. One of the topics discussed included McIntyre’s thoughts about his mentality when it comes to giving wrestling advice to others.

“I’m not going to impose my will on anybody. People come to me, some talent do, and I’m always going to give my opinion. It doesn’t mean it’s the right opinion for you. It’s just my opinion. If you are negatively affecting my show, then I’m going to go to you and say, ‘Don’t do that again’ or ‘That’s the friggin’ shits.’ I don’t want people to have a moment on the show where somebody is watching or enjoying the show, and they see something terrible, and they go, ‘That’s how I felt about wrestling before I tuned in and they just proved me right. That fake wrestling,’ and they change the channel. If I see a moment like that, then I’m going to come down on you because you’re affecting the show. If somebody wants help, they want to get better, they want advice, they come to me and absolutely, I’m there all day for everybody.”
