Drew McIntyre talks about some of the 'massive' talent he's been in the ring with.
In the lead up to WrestleMania 36, Drew McIntyre would enter into a rivalry with WWE champion Brock Lesnar following a Royal Rumble win where McIntyre would eliminated Lesnar from the matchup. Lesnar is one of several physically big names that McIntyre has wrestled in WWE in recent years.
While speaking to Wafflin' in a recent interview, McIntyre was asked about facing off with 'massive' wrestling talent in the ring, and if he ever feels concerned giving up the size advantage in a match.
"No, but that's the thing. You tell yourself that, but sometimes with certain guys, you think, oh, like when I wrestled Brock Lesnar, like for the title, he's looks like you've taken a gorilla and shaved it. Also hey, this guy, if he chooses to, can murder basically everyone on the planet, except three people."
Drew continued, remarking about Mark Henry and Big Show's power as well as Lesnar's athleticism.
"Like I've been in the ring with them and I've thought this person could destroy me or finish me off if they wanted to? Mark Henry is one. He was the world's strongest man, was his character. He was, I think technically is on paper, legitimately strongest man of all time. When he held me up, I was like, oh my goodness, this guy is pretty strong, and he flicked his wrist and I flew over his head and landed on my feet behind him. What just happened? I was like, are you okay? Can you do it? Because I thought he'd throw his arms. Most of us throw our arms to throw somebody behind us. He flicked his wrist and I just glided over his head and landed on my feet. The Big Show is another guy. When I was younger, he grabbed me and I thought, oh my goodness, he could just take me out. But the good thing with those guys, I could just run away with someone like Brock Lesnar. He's faster than you. He's stronger than you. He's got more technique. No matter... like who you are aside to say legitimately a few people in the world, like he's going to get you and have his way with you, whoever he wants to do."
McIntyre is set to face Damian Priest at WrestleMania 41 in singles competition.
Elsewhere in the same interview, McIntyre noted that it's hard for him to knock Logan Paul. You can read more about that here.
