The Scottish Psychopath was recently interviewed on The Rich Eisen Show (h/t Wrestling Inc), where he opened up on his experience on first arriving in WWE, and how he was saved from getting a gimmick where he would have been a runway model.
At WWE Royal Rumble, Drew McIntyre was able to defeat Goldberg, much to the relief of fans, but after this week’s RAW, it appears that he is facing a challenge from an old friend who just turned into an enemy. Sheamus assaulted McIntyre from behind with a Brogue Kick on RAW, leaving the Champion saddened by the betrayal. Later on, McIntyre said that if Sheamus was prepared to throw away their years-long friendship over a title shot, he could have it.
Long before Drew McIntyre was the WWE Champion, however, he nearly ended up having an altogether different gimmick. While McIntyre’s first run with the company didn’t go well, according to the champion it could have gone even worse if WWE’s original idea for his gimmick had gone ahead.
McIntyre revealed how all his dreams of coming to WWE with a great gimmick nearly ended when he first arrived.
Drew McIntyre reveals how Vince McMahon helped him with his gimmick in WWE
WWE Chairman Vince McMahon was extensively involved with Drew McIntyre during his runs in the company. In the first run, he was known for being the ‘Chosen One’, and according to Drew McIntyre, McMahon was the one who ensured that his first gimmick was not what WWE had originally planned.
Drew McIntyre went on to have a gimmick where he was known for being the Chosen One instead and talked about how much he appreciated it.
McIntyre went on to have a slightly successful early run in WWE, but it has been his second run with the company that has allowed him to truly steal the show. Currently, as the WWE Champion, Drew McIntyre is facing a threat from Sheamus.
