What was Drew McIntyre's reaction to winning the WWE Championship in Berlin?
Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Van Vliet!
What's the Starbucks order? The Starbucks order today is a little nitro cold brew with almond milk. Did they spell your name right? I went through the drive-thru this time. Generally, they spell it wrong. How can you spell Drew wrong? I don't get drooping on it, usually. One, I don't usually go in the store, but it's usually Uber Eats if I'm on the road at the hotel or even at home if I'm being lazy. I got a little gimmick name. I'll say as much as John as the first name. I'm not going to give away the last name because people might figure out. It's John Snow. No, it's not. I got a little gimmick name on there, which is, you know, difficult if I'm real tired and order breakfast and they walk up to the counter and start saying, no, no, that's his name.
Why did Drew McIntyre face The Big Show at WrestleMania 36?
And if we don't have anybody by that name, then they're leaving the hotel and I'm running out. No, no, that's me. I'm John. Insert name. John's the takeout name. Yeah. Seamus got me onto these, but he actually got me onto nitro cold brew with the vanilla sweet cream. And yeah, I got real addicted to it. And then he got me on crumble cookie when I first moved here as well. Oh, that's dangerous. Yeah. He doesn't like having anything sweet unless someone does it with them. And I feel like it would have been easier to get off drugs than it was to get off of crumble cookie. Is that like, are sweets your thing? No, not at all.
What challenges did Drew McIntyre face on his journey to the top?
Like not even the slightest. Like we used to travel the roads together years ago, Seamus and I. Um, God, for years, every night he wanted like an ice cream cookie or something, but he had to, yeah, you'll have one lad. You'll have one. I was like, no, no, I don't really have a sweet tooth. Now you'll have one. And then suddenly I was eating them like three, four days a week without a sweet tooth because they misrealized company. You look like you've like taken it up a level, uh, with your fitness recently. What's been the biggest change? Um, I mean, how about nine months ago, roughly nine months ago. You know, I just decided I had five weeks off was the first five weeks off I've ever really had in my life.
And I came straight from school to WWE to being released to back on the road a few weeks later where I was like, oh my goodness, I'm not injured. I'm not doing rehab. I've actually had got this time off and let's have an honest look at myself, especially approaching 40. I've been wrestling 25 years.
How did Drew McIntyre's training and diet change as he approached 40?
Everyone thinks I'm, you know, as old as punk or something, but I'm not old man. But I looked myself in the mirror and said, you know, what's going on with you? Let's take some inventory here. He said, okay, you're in good shape. You're one of the best belt guys in WWE. That's cool. But things are starting to catch up. Things are hurting. Is there anything you can do about that? And you've never really followed a diet. I was still eating burgers all the time, pizza all the time, sometimes eating two times a day, sometimes eating eight times a day. And I decided to get a trainer who actively came to my garage and worked with me and helped me out with training and diet. And the big thing, mobility, which I've never done proper mobility work.
I worked with Rob McIntyre for years. He's phenomenal, but he was sending my workouts, especially when I moved to Nashville five years ago.
What does Drew McIntyre think about the current state of wrestling storytelling?
And it was a lot more difficult not working one-on-one with him and having this new trainer, Jeff, you're welcome. Coming to the garage and pushing me. He's about five foot tall, five foot wide. He's jacked. Yeah, very angry little man. But he was pushing me through my paces. But the big difference was the mobility work. Like I couldn't throw a super kick. Not that I wanted to because everybody and their mother throws a super kick these days, but I'd love to be able to and have the choice to do it. But my hips were so tight. It just wasn't physically possible. Things were locking up. I was aware, oh my goodness, maybe you're closer to the end than the beginning. Not just because of your age, but because of how my body felt.
