The WWE is a machine that by no means stops, pumping out storylines and angles year-round to maintain the thousands and thousands (a-a-and thousands and thousands) of followers hyped about upcoming WWE occasions. Sadly, the writers do not at all times hit the mark, and whereas few issues have ever been as disastrous for wrestling storytelling because the Montreal screwjob, I believe what as soon as occurred to Drew McIntyre is an in depth second. It looks like the WWE celebrity agrees, as he lately talked a couple of earlier match and known as it the “worst second” of his life.
The wrestler named his title shot at Conflict At The Fortress as a memorable low level throughout a latest interview with Cultaholic. For readers who might not keep in mind, McIntyre seemed as if he’d defeat Roman Reigns for the Common Championship, however the shock debut of Solo Sikoa helped the champion retain. That half was unhealthy sufficient, however McIntyre laid out what sends it excessive for him within the interview (through ITRWrestling.com):
I used to be so pleased getting Conflict in Wales and getting the primary stadium present since SummerSlam ’92’ and getting the principle occasion. I wasn’t pleased getting screwed and the worst second of my life singing that silly music afterwards.
I believe most wrestling followers anticipated Roman Reigns to retain his title till WrestleMania, so McIntyre shedding wasn’t an enormous shock. That mentioned, the bizarro ass second of McIntyre then pulling boxer Tyson Fury into the ring and singing “American Pie” to a disenchanted Wales viewers felt like a humiliation ritual that can reside on to be revisited by these with a Peacock subscription for many years to come back.
I watched the clip under for the primary time because the week of the occasion, and I could not even make it via the entire thing as a result of I used to be cringing so onerous:
Watch On
Take into account, there have been rumors forward of this look that Tyson Fury was going to look within the WWE and have a feud with one of many superstars. So, when the Manchester native joined “The Scottish Warrior” within the ring and began singing a music about three American music icons dying in a airplane crash, there was some widespread confusion about what the aim of it was. I ought to add that the duo additionally sang “Candy Caroline” by Neil Diamond and “Do not Look Again In Anger” by Oasis, so that they had been actually hanging that digital camera on them.
On the time, it was alleged that the second was to ship the Wales crowd house smiling, as they had been understandably upset to see Drew McIntyre lose. As many have identified within the time since then, nonetheless, moments like which might be usually achieved when the cameras are now not rolling. To air the second reside out for everybody watching made it appear bizarre that such an intense character like McIntyre was so jovial following one of many largest losses of his skilled wrestling profession.
That is far up to now, nonetheless, and it’s truthful to say Drew McIntyre’s journey within the WWE has solely gone up from that second. He is nonetheless a high title within the model regardless of many wrestlers competing for the highlight, along with his latest damage being the one factor protecting him from tv in the mean time. It is unlucky, particularly contemplating his WrestleMania program with Damien Priest over-delivered on expectations.
Hopefully, we’ll see extra of Drew McIntyre quickly and fewer embarrassing moments like what occurred to him years in the past on WWE programming. I am hoping to see him get one other championship run someday quickly, however till he is wholesome once more, it is likely to be a bit untimely to speak about that.
