Drew McIntyre - REAL Problems with CM Punk, new WWE Creative, Going ALL The Way | Notsam Wrestling

[@virdewindersingh13]

His tweet at Wrestlemania 'Bored at Work' was legendary

[@DeadBattleEditz]

And then the “fuck” was hilarious asf😂😂😂

[@L1ghtOn3]

@@virdewindersingh13 Exactly LOADS what Drew has done will be looked back at in the future as trailblazing in pro wrestling. He just needs a decent WWE Championship run to go with it, bizzare WWE haven't given him one with this current on fire persona? All in all people remember Punk for his pipe bomb and Drew will be remembered for moments like that at WM40 and others, I mean WHO ELSE has had a MASSIVE Claymore as part of their entrance etc? No one! Drew just needs to keep plodding away and focusing on his next big feud, someone like Punk who can go on the mic, because that's where Drew really shines when he can just be himself! LEGEND! 💫👊

[@LiberatingReality]

Drew is so good at these "work-shoot" interviews; like, one of the best ever to do them. Reminds me of when Steve Austin or Triple H were interviewed in the late 90s, not that his star power is of their magnitude, but he has that same wit to maintain character while simultaneously giving fairly sincere answers.

[@uzi978]

"They say you're the Chosen One... who chose you? Tell me, who chose you, what's his name?" -- that was perfect because it put Drew in such an awkward situation and everyone knew it.

[@johnwpmusic]

Absolutely! I was like "oh shite" Phil WANTS Drew to say the forbidden name "Vince McMahon". Talk about 4th wall breaks.

Drew and punk match if everything goes the way they want. I think is gonna be a banger

[@IggyBang]

They may not like eachother (I don’t believe that) but at the very least they made an agreement to make a shit ton of money with old school story telling. They coordinated costumes at Summer Slam, they worked together for the bracelet angle. They’ve agreed to keep kayfabe outside of the ring. Talent. How wrestling should be.

[@ModernDayRenaissanceMan]

Im 44. I wrestled for 4 years. I was never a Punk fan. I didn't see his early work. I only became a fan due to AEW screwing him & I respected the fact he told the truth threw that entire ordeal. It drew me away from AEW & back to WWE when I was anti-WWE FOREVER. I was a WCW guy who left during 2002-2006 when Vince killed the business. However I'm a HUGE fan of Drew. This guy needs to win vs Punk. As much as I love Punk I think Punk knows what's good for business. Punk takes the L - proves he can still work - which is the point & then puts on a banger against Seth. Then he can go to Mania against someone else. That's the way it works. I hope we see that.

[@oirampm]

I'm a cm punk fan but with this fued and all this work I became a drew mcintyre fan

[@woodyjohnson8575]

This was a promo and you've been a mark

[@hardstarboardradio]

Where the kayfabe gets exposed is where McIntyre says that "Punk was given everything he wanted" back when he first entered the company, which is a vast exaggeration at minimum. It's also ironic that he has a very....Punk-esque attitude. I'll go so far as to guarantee that Punk has a lot of input into the creative decisions behind this Feud of the Year. It has similar vibes to his feud with MJF a couple of years ago in AEW. And I'm equally certain that McIntyre is having a blast working with him, because as I can testify after being a fan of this business for over four decades, this is what *professional wrestling* is all about.

[@christian6455]

I think punk did done something to drew but it wasn't professional more like personal. Punk never denied it neither

He's gotta realize, deep down, that Punk isn't a cancer or poison to WWE, he's bringing out the best in Drew, they had the most anticipated match at SummerSlam.. who else would Drew have that with? He can only wrestle Rollins so many times. He's gotta love the eyeballs that are drawn to him because he's involved with Punk. At the end of the day, it's about butts in seats, and Punk still brings that, and still gets a much bigger reaction than McIntyre does if we're being honest.

[@garymaidman625]

I will put it out here, I believe that although there has been an issue between Drew and Punk, that they have buried the hatchet. The photo of Drew and Jungle Jackoff was taken with Punk's blessing, Drew said it himself. If Drew truly hated Punk, he wouldn't need Punk's blessing and wouldn't be working together on everything every step of the way during this storyline.

[@bomberdomme7308]

Also punk then wouldn't have sold it so good for drew as he did, you don't do that without a connection.

[@garymaidman625]

@@bomberdomme7308 exactly. This animosity, while initially no doubt very real, is clearly now a work. I would imagine that Drew had some beef with Punk and when Punk came back, not only did he clear the air with Triple H, he would have with Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre. I have no doubt that this feud, although accelerated, was still within the pipeline.

[@fabiopatacchiola5312]

Who’s jungle Jackoff?

[@IggyBang]

Just the fact that they have coordinated costumes at Summer Slam. The fact that he worked in the bracelet. They are on the same page at least professionally. Like if they don’t see eye to eye, they at least have a gentlemens agreement to work together to make a ton of money. Writers aren’t talented enough to write this shit.

[@nodafy]

Drew is absolutely killing at the moment 🔥 I know he’s supposed to be the “bad guy” in this story, but I’ve found myself rooting for him from the start

[@DaNIGHTz]

Drew is the man. Im happy he is finally getting his. Hypothetical. If he wasnt in the world title picture at mania fans would have revolted. 3 people fans needed to come out of mania looking strong was Cody, Jay and drew. Seth was hurt, Punk if he wasnt hurt, still hasnt proved he can wrestle like he used to. Thats not hate but real. getting older can suck but for drew he put in the work and has mastered it almost as good as R-Truth. But no way does Drew get shafted for punk and the fans sit by and no one says anything. Drew earned his time. The only thing he was missing this entire time was being himself. Not V-mans vision of him with a sword of doom. But Drew doesnt win playa hater of the year. That goes to b. Hart and his goldburg rants. But Drew didnt make it easy on Bret and gave him a solid run for that title. Im proud of Drew and happy for him. Not to mention i dont have to hate on punk half as much now that Drew is around. I think its great and Jay is killing it also in a different way which is really cool. Best of luck to him.

[@OuTSMOKE]

Well... duh. You think leading up to one of the biggest work feuds right now he's going to do interviews saying "Oh no, we're good, it's all business and this story line with Punk has been a blast!"?

Because it's insignificant to the big picture and in the IWC, it would distract from the actual rivalry. Basically, it was just a cherry on top, not the sundae. Plus, not addressing it keeps the mystery and speculation going by encouraging the conspiracy heads to continue to think WWE or Punk "made" him take it down.

[@johnstrom5910]

Watching the Drew/CM Punk feud and seeing all the screw overs Drew has had to take with telling that story, I hope Drew gets a huge Wrestlemania payoff at this next Wrestlemania, just like Cody was able to "finish his story" after all the roadblocks he faced. Drew has been asked to do a lot for the WWE over the past few months (even after he was fired a little while back), taking a backseat to Punk and allowing Punk to constantly screw him, even in his homeland of Scotland. Drew can be the face of the WWE - hopefully HHH and the team give Drew the title and allow him to be the champ and the face of WWE for multiple months - similar to Roman and now as Cody is currently doing. HHH has asked Drew to put off the big payoff to have an even greater payoff in the end - again similar to Cody. He's able to play a heel and people still love him - he's truly himself, which people love - and he's a great guy on top of that. Great interview - thanks for sharing!
