effects that you would get in Delta nine THC.
Like you'd find in marijuana and CBD. It gives you that similar buzz,

some of the mental fogginess that would come with Delta 9. So if you go to 3chi.com right now,

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
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.
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,
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.
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
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?
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.
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
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
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
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.
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,
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,
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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,
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
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.
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?
What are you doing here?
Atlanta, randomly in the Hooters. So moments like that kind of stick in my head because I got back home and's like Graham Steevely Atlanta randomly in the suitors
so like moments like that kind of stick in my head
because I got back home
and he got over his grade
I was so happy for him
we got to spend some real time together
there's a million stories
but those are a couple of random ones that pop to mind
there's so much ridiculous stuff I just can't see
man he's the best
as you know
yeah all right
I've got one more question for you
one of my favorite parts of your chronicle
is where you take a vinyl to the
location of where they shot Oasis is what's the story morning glory.
And you recreate the cover a little bit. Are you an Oasis fan?
Yes. Oasis are my favorite band. I was going to say probably, but no,
they are always.
That's amazing. So Oasis is one of my favorite bands of all time this week,
as maybe, you know, is the 25th anniversary of what's the story morning
glory i just wanted to know what was it like growing up with oasis on top of the world
it was great like my brother liked blur and i liked oasis so it was always fun when there was
a battle for number one in the uk like is it going to be uh i think the big one was roll with it in
park life yeah and i feel yeah i feel like blur one as well and i may have beat up my brother
because of it but i remember like the rivalry at the time and like i remember like that was the first album
i ever bought with my own money was what's the story of morning glory and it looks saving up
and then i got it like the day it came out and i listened to cover to cover and i remember there's
one swear in there uh during hello and i kept playing it over and over i was like i swore in
a song that's so crazy. Such bad boys.
I'm going to be like that one day.
So yeah, I love that album
and it stands the test of time
and I really hope they can get back together eventually.
I was going to say,
can we add you to the list of people
begging the Gallagher brothers
to get back on stage together?
Yeah, like I think
if Liam just takes away his social media,
he wants more than no.
Like if he just takes away social media, makes an agreement,
he'll just keep his mouth closed. He'll not
text, knows family, then I think we can
figure something out.
Because that'd be awesome.
If they could do like Nedworth Park Tour or whatever
when they had like 250,000
people there, that'd be something else.
I'd want to be one of them for sure.
I literally have right over here, I got the Nedworth
bus stop marquee framed. It's like a 60 by 40. I'm crazy about be one of them for sure. I literally have right over here. I got the Nebworth bus stop marquee framed.
It's like a 60 by 40.
Oh,
I'm crazy about Oasis.
Mad for it.
As they say.
So yeah,
I mean,
you just shot up my rankings from one of my favorite wrestlers to maybe my
favorite wrestler,
Drew.
I appreciate that.
What's your favorite song?
You know what?
It's gotta be live forever.
I've got live forever tattooed on the collarbone.
It would be like,
it'd be weird not to say that, you know, either supersonic yeah yeah that was a good couple of tunes i'm a
big fan of married with children myself like i like singing that in the car and the wife and
i were driving around drives her nuts it's a real deep guy yeah i love that the end of definitely
maybe all right drew this has been a pleasure like i said october 4th you've got the wwe 24
