Drew McIntyre is slated to work a singles match with Damian Priest at WrestleMania 41. Ahead of the crazy week, the top WWE star released a PSA message to fans about what they should and shouldn’t do during this week.
“What’s happening, everybody? It’s here. I don’t know how it’s here already, but it’s WrestleMania week, the most exciting time of the year, and pro wrestling is on fire. We’re in a golden age beyond golden age. And the whole industry is descending on Vegas. The world’s descending on Vegas. The eyes of the world are on WWE. I’m worried about you guys. I’m concerned you’re gonna fuck it up. So I’ve taken upon myself to put together some do’s and don’ts, a little PSA, so you can have the best time possible at WrestleMania. So then, if you have a bad interaction, a bad experience, you fuck things up, then it is totally on you for not listening to Drew McIntyre. Start with the do’s: be respectful to any wrestlers you see and each other, but mostly us. It’s our busiest work week of the year, and if you see us in a hurry, don’t get in our way.
We’re probably trying to get to an appearance. You could actually see us at the appearance, or maybe we have an hour and we’re trying to get to the gym, or something crazy, like seeing our family and friends that we never, ever ever see, especially from another country, like myself. So wear deodorant. Please wear deodorant. Support local indie wrestling. I used to love doing independent shows around Wrestlemania, especially when I was EVOLVE champion, and I nicknamed WrestleMania Week – Wrestling Week because there’s so much going on. The atmosphere is incredible. Support independent wrestling, and that’s a very short list for do’s. Now the for love of God, don’ts: don’t hang around the airport with a bunch of merchandise, the same bullshit. It’s taking the piss. It’s taking advantage WrestleMania. There’s plenty of signings and photo ops you can go along to. We’re just trying to get our stuff. Say hi to a few people.
Say thank you for coming to Mania and go to the hotel to begin the biggest week of the year. Speaking of the hotel, fuck off. Stay away from the hotel. That’s a safe space. Imagine that’s our house, because it is our house for the week. It’s our home for the week. We have our family and friends there. Some of the superstars have kids; respect personal space. Would you like someone coming into your house, shoving a camera in your face and your kid’s face? Think of it that way. And don’t interrupt people if they’re in the middle of a conversation with their friends or family, or linger being weird. Again, there’s plenty of chances to meet people during the week, and if you see a superstar in the wild, like on the street or the gym or a restaurant, maybe there may be opportunity to see what’s up.
Take a quick photo. Don’t ask for merch to be signed. And once again, not the fucking hotel: shoot names, real names, government names. Don’t call people by their real names. That’s a surefire sign we need to run the fuck away. I’m called Drew. I’m pretty much screwed. This is more to do with the girls. It’s very creepy. Don’t do it. There we go. Don’t do that stuff, and you won’t fuck up your experience.
Everybody attending Mania get together, talk about the thing we love, and brought us together professional wrestling and wrestling media. It’s going to be the biggest one yet, and I guarantee Drew McIntyre is going to steal the weekend. So, thanks for listening. I hope everybody actually listened and didn’t just hear me listen. Cheers.”
