Drew McIntyre

I was a big fan of Bret Hart growing up, and Shawn Michaels, the Undertaker, Triple H. I've probably drawn from them when I was younger. ”

Promoters believed in me and gave me a platform, and then the fans started believing in me. It went from me trying to show the fans what I was all about to growing companies around the world. I got to be the face of so many companies, like EVOLVE and Insane Championship Wrestling in Scotland. ”

I've been lucky that I've got myself through various opportunities and platforms and people believing in me - my wife helping in a lot of different areas - and growing up a lot, I've shown I am ready now to be a top guy, to hold that position for the company and show what it is to represent a giant, publicly traded company like WWE. ”

I was in FCW for about six months. It was roundabout 2009; a lot of guys started to retire, and they didn't have guys coming in from other companies to replace them. ”

All I know is professional wrestling and sports entertainment. This is all I know, and I wanted to give it everything that I had. ”

Why would I ever be bitter and negative and focus on the past? ”

It was very clear I wasn't giving my all in the past - not even close. ”

Everything I do has a purpose for my goal, which is to create a buzz. ”

The goal is become the top person on 'Raw,' the example on 'Raw,' the John Cena, the ultimate workhorse of 'Raw.' ”

I treat everyone how I would like to be treated, and I try to treat this industry and this job with the respect it deserves. ”
