All right, let's get into this interview with the WWE champion, Drew McIntyre. All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to My Mom's Basement, a championship edition of My Mom's Basement. I am joined by a very special guest right now. He is
Starting point is 00:01:43 the WWE champion, and he's defending that championship this Sunday against Randy Orton at clash of champions. It is Drew McIntyre. What's going on, Drew? Not so much. The hardware right there as well. Yeah. You see the words WWE championship. It's going to magically appear every single time. I love it.
Starting point is 00:02:01 You've also got the WWE 24 special premiering this Sunday. Drew McIntyre, the chosen one. I'm very excited for this as a fan of yours. I loved your Chronicle special on the WWE Network in the lead up to WrestleMania. And this is amazing because we'll get to see how that story continues. You know, you with the championship. Are you excited for that as well? I'm very excited about it. Curious what it's going to look like. I haven't actually got eyes on even a rough copy of it yet. The Chronicle was interesting,
Starting point is 00:02:30 as it was kind of following my journey to WrestleMania and the unique circumstances of this year's WrestleMania and the pandemic. The 24 is like my entire career, and it's going to feature everything from the people closest to me. Obviously most of the public I've seen the highest of highs, but there's been some lows on the part of this journey and everyone's going to be a open book during this, especially me. And there's footage in there that I promised myself the world would never see.
Starting point is 00:02:59 But if you're going to be an open book, you can't hold anything back. So there's Drew Galloway, Drew McIntyre, backyard wrestling footage in there. I was going to burn an open book you can't hold anything back so there's drew galloway drew mcintyre backyard wrestling footage in there i was going to burn it one day my buddy and i who did it sat there and went should we get rid of this now i might need it one day the 24 special is that did you have a horrible backyard wrestling name of course uh the big rivalry between myself and my buddy i was blade like the vampire and he was thistle that'd be from scotland so yes that was the big feud in the backyard and then my brother was part of that feud as well what was his name uh less than john like less than jake and at the time that he was into oh that's i love it most of you usually have like laser with a z or something there's usually some
Starting point is 00:03:43 x's in there so you know stuff like that i was definitely a blade myself and i think i was a drew extreme at one point not unlike team extreme with the hardy boys so i inevitably became friends with them which is really weird as they're going to find out when they watch this i'm sure i talk about you know how much my brother and i wanted to be the hardy boys more kids how much of your organic fan support that you really got to see, you know, before COVID shut everything down in the live events and the Royal Rumble and the shows that you still had with an audience in the lead up to WrestleMania, do you think came from people realizing that you've had this long journey?
Starting point is 00:04:17 People realizing that, hey, they've watched the Chronicle. They know that you got released in 2014, went to the Indies, built your name back up and came back. How much of that is the real story bleeding through, do you think? Yeah, I mean, what they saw is 100% the real story, and we kept telling that story on TV. And I can't exactly pinpoint when it all started, when the fans started really rallying behind me.
Starting point is 00:04:39 Obviously, we've got our hardcore fan base who follow everything up with the company and have followed my entire journey. But that is kind of the minority and I think people started picking up and you know getting behind me and when I started getting a little more freedom in the microphone and I started kind of putting my real personality in there and the real Drew is a bit silly he's a bit sarcastic he tells jokes aren't funny at all he's a wrestling nerd I'm not afraid to fall fat and flat in my face and people kind of well oh I don't know he was kind of like this i think he's a
Starting point is 00:05:08 serious angry man all the time so i kind of dig his personality he's kind of like me he's just a huge version but with the bell rings i kick butt and that's kind of like where it started i guess and as time passed by but we're able to start slowly telling my real story that again that hardcore fan base knew you know like wow and he's really overcame a lot as well i didn't really know this i didn't know this like what happened in his first run i didn't know what happened outside the company i didn't know the personal battles he was going through i could really actually relate finally to this giant like angry scotsman he's just a real person like me and he's a flawed person like me and i think that's when people really started getting behind me and
Starting point is 00:05:42 i won the royal rumble and the fan support was unbelievable. Like I remember eliminating Brock and thinking that's the biggest reaction of my life. But being a little bit nervous at the end because Edge was returning after nine years. And we've seen fans turn on the Rumble if they don't get what they want. If they don't get the winner, they won. And I was like, wow, you know, if I was in the crowd, I might be upset if Edge didn't win this thing. And the fact that, you know, they were upset when Edge got eliminated, but went crazy when I eliminated Roman at the end
Starting point is 00:06:08 really said a lot to me. And that's when the fans felt like were fully in my corner, felt that the final pieces of Drew's puzzle finally fell into place. And the trick was just be yourself, be open, turn that volume up and stop playing a character and just be yourself.
Starting point is 00:06:22 And that's when things kept escalating with Brock all the way to mania. It was unbelievable. You know, the fans were getting behind me and getting behind the real drew the kid who just wanted to be a wrestler. Yeah. That Royal rumble reaction was amazing. The Claymore. And then like you said, even throwing Roman over the top at the end,
Starting point is 00:06:37 I would love to bring things back a little bit though, because I was a really, really big fan of your run outside of the WWE. I just wanted to know what was your mindset when you got released in 2014? Because we see some guys, when they get released, they'll go right to whatever the best TV contract that they're offered is. They just want to get back on TV. Some guys, they go to the more family-friendly indies,
Starting point is 00:06:57 where it's a lot of former WWE guys. You went right into the indies that the hardcore fans love. You went into ICW rpw pwg did you have a chip on your shoulder and you felt like you had something to prove to these fans that you know you wanted to get back to the top yeah i mean i don't know if it's much proven it just to the fans but also proven it to myself that i could be you know what i believed i could be and at the time like looking back and being honest, and I'm going to be pretty honest during this 24, that my confidence wasn't exactly sky high during that period.
Starting point is 00:07:30 So I had to kind of fake it until I made it. But I did believe I had it in me to be a top-level player, not just, you know, say in a family-friendly company or whatever, just anywhere, the most hardcore group of fans, because I am that hardcore fan myself. And even as a bigger guy it's generally the high flyers there I knew I could succeed in every level I just needed the opportunity and thankfully so many people believed in me gave me a platform allowed me to
Starting point is 00:07:53 grow not just my abilities in the ring and on the microphone but grow my confidence and as you know things started going well people started offering me you know a little opportunity on tv here a little opportunity on tv there and I might have said no a couple of times that it wasn't until like i was in glasgow one day i was running good with icw i was running good with evolve i had a good few things going in independence my name was really building and i wanted to keep it at that level but i remember impact just wouldn't take no for an answer at the time and the people i'm friends with you know john geberg is back with wwe now and tommy dreamer for example we're like no true you're coming in and i said okay here's
Starting point is 00:08:29 the conditions i have to be myself i will not change anything i'm doing right now like i'm going to be true to myself true to my fan base they're following me right now i'm coming in as the real drew drew galloway i'm not playing a character i'm gonna be the same guy everywhere and i'm going to travel the world as the first traveling world champion since like the days of the nwa and that's what i was very adamant about creating you know all this is doing right now that was kind of the blueprint i had in my head like i want to be the first travel world champion and that's where i started picking up all the different titles across the world and in the end it came down to people believing in me and giving me the platform to
Starting point is 00:08:59 apply my craft and get myself to where i saw myself at. And my fellow wrestlers looking to me as a leader, which was cool, but I didn't feel like a leader until I grew into that role. And it was through that experience outside the company that eventually led me to coming back to WWE as a whole new person, a whole new mindset. Got to credit my wife for that as well, helping me, especially personally growing up. I was a boy during that first round.
Starting point is 00:09:24 I returned a man. And finally, however many months ago we talked about those last pieces being the real drew fell into place and now i sit here wwe champion and feel ready to be wwe champion all those ups and downs prepared me for any situation and that includes a freaking worldwide pandemic still didn't deter me encourage me if anything i was like cool i won the one i won the bulge on the most difficult at times what do you think makes the uk independent scene what it is for someone that might not be aware because you were performing in some shows with thousands of
Starting point is 00:09:55 rabid fans where you know you would get the win or grado would beat you let's say and the fans would just absolutely lose their minds you would think it was WrestleMania. How would you describe it to someone who hasn't experienced that? It's hard to describe it to someone that hasn't experienced that. And it was like such a cool period because, you know, I knew I was going to go back to the UK. I knew I was going to go back to ICW to get my mission statement out. And these are like my friends I grew up with that I started with. And something cool was going on there.
Starting point is 00:10:24 And like you say, there was thousands there. When I got back back the show I was at was the biggest show of the year we had 1500 people at the show I returned to and myself and my buddies worked so hard and started growing that scene and we took it from 1500 to 2000 to 4000 to almost 7000 people and like you say watching those clips and seeing those rabid fans the only thing I can compare it to is if you've ever watched a soccer match especially European soccer match where the fans are crazy they've got their songs for each player the songs for the teams sometimes there's fireworks in the crowd everybody's drunk you better be on your feet screaming being loud being rowdy or else you're probably gonna end up in a fight like I've been to some American sports and I'm like man it's really calm at these sports games, like baseball games and football games.
Starting point is 00:11:05 And if somebody stands up and starts voicing their opinion, they kind of get looked down at like, wow, look at this person causing a scene. If you're not the guy standing up and causing a scene at a football match, a soccer match back home, you're getting in a fight. And that's what the crowd is. It's just all these rabid fans on their feet. And they're so passionate about the product.
Starting point is 00:11:20 They're passionate about UK wrestling, passionate about their company. And that's what we came down to is passion. What are your favorite moments from that time there's too many to name like if i'm looking at icw for example since we're talking about them um that's my personal i'm a huge icw fan myself no thank you yeah i like everything i loved like evolving the legs but um but icw it was so cool because these were my friends i grew up with in scotland and when we sold out the barrel lands it's a historic music venue that everyone's played there like you name it the boy the stones everyone's played in the barrel lands and we sold
Starting point is 00:11:56 it out with just myself and jester on the marquee and like that's like one of my best friends in the world and just our names on the card selling out out the Barrelands, 2,000 people, as the biggest show of ICW ever at the time was so cool. And then the following year, myself and Grado, I was the most hated man in Scotland, but came in supposed to be the good guy. And then suddenly, Drew with his funny Scottish-American accent and Hollywood, because he lives in America. Really, I was traveling around trying to build the name of ICW.
Starting point is 00:12:20 Because I wasn't there all the time, suddenly I became the bad guy, which helped massively. Because suddenly, you had Hollywoodllywood drag all the way against great against great of the hometown guy and i remember that night you're talking about that clip when the crowd went crazy they were so rabid that night if i won i would not get out of that building alive and that's the cool thing about icw is i had that old school feel you would get and let the territories in america back in the day that some of the heels like took a couple of uh like weapons uh to their to the guts it took a few police sticks off the
Starting point is 00:12:52 the fans trying to get through the crowd that the police had to defend them and get them through the crowd sometimes and that's what it was like in ICW a few times that was really people were buying it they believed it 100% one time in London even like it's not just in scotland i remember doing a promo in london and then a bottle came out my head and a few of the guys in my group wolfgang bram jester jumped in the crowd to get the person basically and i had one leg over the barricade this is what i knew i'd finally grown up and i was finally ready to be a leader is when i had one leg over the barricade ready to cause a riot like this would have been a riot and I stopped myself I pulled my leg back over I got back in the ring and I put the attention on that one fan and had them thrown out by security and I thought you've really grown up Drew I think you're ready to be a leader you would like oh Drew would have
Starting point is 00:13:36 caused a riot right now you calmed yourself down even though bottling was taking you in the head but that was the cool thing about it as well as they believed in it that much and I might agree to I would have probably got stabbed if i wanted to um so let me ask you this when you get the call from wwe to return to the company was there any reluctance on your part to go back because you were pretty comfortably like a top guy on the independent scene like you said you you built icw up very well you were on the the headlining match of of any marquee that you were on pretty much so was there any hesitance or did you know that's where you wanted to be yeah i mean there was
Starting point is 00:14:09 hesitance initially um obviously you know my first run i didn't exactly go to plan and obviously that's a lot on myself um i was like i don't know the thing the goal when i was gone initially was no matter what work hard get back to wwe and it got to the point where well and my name's really making a difference that the name WWE so it sells the tickets unless it's like a scene or a rock or whatever but I'm really making a difference my name's making a difference I'm happy like I'm making a good living I really want to go back and it seemed like Japan might be the place that might be the next logical step for me after my impact contract and lapsed my wife and i were talking about it uh william regal is a friend and a mentor of mine you know he had a conversation with me where he
Starting point is 00:14:50 said hey would you take a call with triple h i was of course we've always a great relationship and after that conversation that's when i knew it was time to come back with a really great chat he'd been keeping up with everything i was doing was very proud that i finally started fulfilling that potential himself mr mcm McMahon saw in me and we both had the same vision like if I was coming back it had to be NXT that was the hardcore fans they knew what I was all about knew what Drew Galloway was all about and I had to start there in my mind I could be a leader and help people you know in the positive ways and help pull them up but also kind of teach them what not to do because I made a lot of mistakes in my time and that was kind of
Starting point is 00:15:22 Hunter's vision as well so after that conversation that's when my mind was made that's pretty awesome what were your goals coming back in did you set these lofty goals like you have now I assume you've accomplished all of them as the WWE champion but were you signing the contract thinking I want to headline Wrestlemania and be the WWE champion or were you setting smaller goals for yourself and thinking I'm not even going to cross that bridge till I get to it I mean i'd be lying if i said like back in my mind okay you know i'm going to fulfill what vince said all those years ago and win the title etc but i had very much a short term goal mentality i still have that you know you can't get your long-term goals without setting those short-term goals and becoming champion becoming a leader in nxt was very important to me first before i even thought anything about any other
Starting point is 00:16:09 title and i was grateful for my time there i wish i didn't get injured after um you know so many months i was there i got to be champion for four months and i had a year run there but i spent about three and a half of it injured i did get a lot of time with sean michaels which i was grateful for at the performance center and really picking his brain. That really helped me massively in how I thought about things. No matter how much you think you know, you sit with someone like Shawn Michaels and realize, okay, I've been doing this a long time, but now I'm getting my PhD at this stage. And you never stop learning. But yeah, that time was so significant to me. And when I came to Raw, it was the same deal. I started setting some goals. i was with dolph at the time it's all about building my image to the casual fan base and the outside eyes
Starting point is 00:16:49 that my long-term goal was to bring those outside eyes in but i have to educate them who i am first so it's all been part of like a long-term plan and with short-term goals and even though i am wwe champion now i'm so far away from all my goals that i've set for myself and there's some big ones including the uk i want a pay-per-view it's been 30 years since we've set for myself. And there's some big ones, including the UK. I want a pay-per-view. It's been 30 years since we've had a big one, but there's so many other ones in America and all over the world. I want to achieve. And I always think big, but set those short term goals.
Starting point is 00:17:13 And I would love that UK pay-per-view as well. I mean, talking about the crowds reacting, like it's a soccer match. Remember when NXT went over there, they kind of had that vibe. So that would be amazing. Speaking of learning, who have you learned the most from since you've uh rejoined the company you learn from everybody it's hard to single people out like i mentioned you know sean at nxt and everyone at nxt like connor whenever i get the chance to to speak with them um you're always picking things up um everyone i've worked
Starting point is 00:17:43 with and significant programs, I got to spend a lot of time around like Shield and Roman. It's amazing, actually, for him in particular, because he was, I remember, a new guy. When I was coming, I think I was living in Louisiana for a year. I was driving back to Tampa when I was about 25. He was just going to start. And to watch how fast and far he came along,
Starting point is 00:18:04 and how he was just such a natural for this industry and to go like, see where he was at in 2014 when I was gone from the company and to see where, and Seth as well, and Dean, to see where they were all at when I returned and the, not just like in the ring and the characters they built, but mentally the way they think about this industry was incredible. And I really did learn a lot being around Roman and learning from him, even though I've technically been doing it longer.
Starting point is 00:18:25 So I got to credit him too. But then all the agents backstage, you know, Mr. McMahon himself, any minute with him is always a learning experience. And, you know, that's it. If you're smart, no matter who you're talking to, it could be someone their first day, someone that doesn't work for the company
Starting point is 00:18:37 or someone at the top, you're always picking up something you can use. You just got to be smart enough to know what will work for you and what won't. Yeah. What was your experience of working with Brock Lesnar like? Oh, great. There's a couple of names right there. I brought Lesnar and Paul Heyman. Paul Heyman is definitely up there for somebody that has taught me so much
Starting point is 00:18:54 and knew my character probably more than I knew it before I finally figured it out. But yeah, he was great. I don't like to say too many positive things about him because he doesn't like that. But without Brock Lesnar, without Paul Heyman, Drew McIntyre is not on top of the card right now. Yeah, I had to ask because I feel like we just hear so little about Brock, probably because, like you just said, if people say too many positive things, he starts laying the smackdown on them.
Starting point is 00:19:19 But, you know. I'll be him in five minutes. He can't lay the smackdown on me. At WrestleMania, in the main event. So how did that moment wrestlemania in the main event so how did that moment you winning the main event and the cameras shutting off compared to your moment in gorilla after the royal rumble which we saw in your chronicle special you know everyone was there clapping for you mr mcmahon was there gave you big hug how were those moments different they were very different but equally as emotional um obviously with Royal Rumble and 40,000 people
Starting point is 00:19:48 screaming their adrenaline is through the roof I pretty much lost the ability to walk at one point as part of a fall to my knees it's not because I was planning this dramatic fall to my knees Shawn Michaels rescued me at 12 12 style that was I literally just lost the ability to walk I couldn't believe what was happening like a montage playing through my head of the journey to that point and the sacrifices my family my wife had made to get me to that point and it was just insane and i knew i had to get myself up the ropes because the fireworks come at the end of the rumble you in the rumble and i was like my goodness i'm gonna finally point the fireworks and go off it's because i won the rumble and so yeah the adrenaline just is through the roof and you come back you're with the crowd i've spent some time with the crowd i am ringside had a good
Starting point is 00:20:29 time and the cameras are off you know got backstage saw everybody it was all hugs and high fives and really cool things that you deserve it you've earned it all met in the world i'm the last one in the locker room adrenaline still through the roof and it's not until i'm in the car back at the hotel close the hotel door, and I finally calm down that I can appreciate it and go, oh, my goodness, I've calmed down. That really just happened. And I start kind of understanding how important it is because the adrenaline high is gone.
Starting point is 00:20:55 With WrestleMania, I kind of skipped the adrenaline part, and it was in the ring. People got to see that moment at Royal Rumble when I finally got back to the hotel room, and I was finally calmed down, and I process everything and i understood it was real the fans got to see that when i was handed the title so we skipped all the adrenaline part and everything backstage and me calming down they got straight to the part in the hotel room which is usually a very private moment they got to witness a private moment where i was sitting there and i understood
Starting point is 00:21:21 the gravity of the situation of oh my goodness i did it i'm champion I cannot believe this obviously the circumstances aren't ideal but right now there's a lot of people watching this show as an escape and I just gave them a happy ending and again thinking about all the people that brought me to this point and the fans got to see that and that's when I looked for the camera ringside and kind of crawled my way to the floor camera and generally we're not allowed to break the fourth wall you know those the famous promo where a certain somebody waved down the camera and broke the fourth wall. And that's not something we're generally encouraged to do, but I like,
Starting point is 00:21:51 I just had to figure out a way to say thank you to everybody. And I'll look down the camera and reach down and say, thank you to all my fans for supporting me because they're the reason I'm at this point. It's not because someone in management chose me, made me the chosen one. It's because the fans made me the chosen one. And that was a real special moment.
Starting point is 00:22:06 And I'm really happy they didn't edit it because it was 100% real. It was a really cool moment. What is your dream scenario for the return of fans? Like the first show back, WWE's got a sold out arena. Drew McIntyre, obviously still WWE champion, defended the championship successfully this Sunday against Randy Orton and all that. What is your dream scenario?
Starting point is 00:22:26 Do you have like, oh, my God, it'd be amazing to wrestle this guy? Yeah, I mean, it'd be amazing to wrestle Randy this Sunday at Clash of Champions in front of fans. I would take anything at this stage. But, yeah, I mean, if I'm picking dream scenarios, it's so hard to pick a timeline and whatever. I know the rumor has it there's a draft coming up, so who knows what's going to happen in the future.
Starting point is 00:22:49 I just feel that there's more to me than Randy. So if we get through this Sunday, hopefully I can take down Randy once again at Clash of Champions. I believe the next pay-per-view is a Hell in a Cell. I've never been in a Hell in a Cell match. That might be something special for those fans there, like a big spectacle of a match i don't care where it is i just want fans there like anywhere it can be in saskatchewan canada i don't know just trying to name the most
Starting point is 00:23:15 random places i can think of hey buddy alabama i don't care just anywhere that can a like fans can get in if we could be there to be'd be fans there. That'd be really cool. And if there's me and Randy for a third one, if it's, oh, I don't know, The Undertaker has been in a few Hell in a Cell matches. Maybe I need to get Mr. McMahon to make a phone call
Starting point is 00:23:32 since watching the last ride on the WWE Network. It seems to be if Vince makes the call, I show up. So every week, I just prod Mr. McMahon and go make the call. Until he shows up. That'd be cool too. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:23:44 you may be able to get him. i said true's got the wwe 24 on october 4th he's got randy orton this sunday i've got some fun questions before we get out of here you just passed this week i don't know if you knew this you just passed jinder mahal in total days as wwe champion so i just wanted to let you know you've got bragging rights in 3MB now. Yeah, I just talked to WWE India. Like, for the Indian audience, I had to apologize. I'll be their new hero, so it's okay. And then, yeah, that text gender as well. He's too nice, though. He just laughs and goes, good for you, brother. Like, most other guys would fight back, but he's too nice. What is your favorite Grado story? One of my favorite people in the world. I used to design some of his merchandise for him i would get the most random uh requests at four in the morning
Starting point is 00:24:29 i would get a vox from him requesting like a bam bam bigelow singlet what are your favorite stories of this ridiculous human that we all love so much i think of something i can tell wouldn't incriminate anybody we've known each other for such a long time like he used to dm me on aol instant messenger uh when i first started wrestling when i was like 15 or whatever 16 doing shows like saying he was putting on shows he wanted to book me and whatever and he wasn't putting on shows he wasn't talking that's how long we've known each other and like before he was great oh and he got over, I remember in WrestleMania, I think it was in Atlanta.
Starting point is 00:25:09 He remembers all the dates and everything. It's amazing. There's memory for the most random, stupid stuff. But I remember I walked into a Hooters to grab some food, and all I heard was, I hadn't seen him forever. And I looked back and I was like, Graham Steevely?
Starting point is 00:25:22 What are you doing here? Atlanta, randomly in the Hooters.
