Although Drew McIntyre became a main event star in WWE in 2020, he has been involved in the wrestling business for several years. With that kind of tenure, he has been able to observe the business evolve as people come and go.
McIntyre recently appeared on the WAFFLIN Podcast to discuss a variety of topics. During the podcast, he took a shot at younger wrestlers regarding their toughness.
Host: “I don’t know whether it’s pride in being a wrestler, in being tough, that makes you not want to turn to the referee and say, ‘Yeah, I need to quit.'”
McIntyre: “Unless I was dead, I would continue the match. We’ve seen examples like Triple H; he tore his quad off the bone but continued the match. He was even put in the Walls of Jericho, a maneuver that puts pressure on the quads, even though his wasn’t attached. That’s the kind of mentality most of our superstars have. Or maybe that’s just some of them, because some of the new guys are freaking p***ies.”
