WWE superstar Drew McIntyre is famously known for his no-nonsense rants and trolling on Twitter. Recently, he did it again during an interview with The West Australian.
Drew has always been vocal about what he thinks. If he likes something, he says it. If he doesn’t, he says that too. Over the past couple of years, Drew’s infamous Twitter/X posts during WrestleMania 40 and 41—like “Bored at Work” and “Still Bored at Work”—went viral, earning him tons of praise from fans for using social media the right way. He even won Slammy Awards for “Social Star of the Year” two years in a row.
But lately, Drew’s outspoken nature has stirred controversy. When he appeared on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast, he didn’t hold back criticizing both wrestling fans and some of his colleagues.
In his recent chat with The West Sport, Drew was asked about the current WWE roster—and he didn’t hold back.
“85% of the roster don’t look like wrestlers,” he said bluntly. “I have a lot of friends who just started watching wrestling on Netflix. They’re like, ‘Wait a minute, I could beat this guy. My kid could probably beat this guy.’ Some of the roster just dial it in. Maybe start looking like athletes. I’m not saying everyone has to look like me—because you won’t—but at least find something that makes you stand out.”
But Drew didn’t stop there. He went on to call out wrestlers who ignore the advice of veterans and instead seek validation from Twitter.
“I give away all this advice for free in interviews, but none of the new guys listen. They just go on Twitter, and Twitter tells them how good they are. They think, ‘I must be good because Twitter says so,’ even when they’re barely on the show. The vets are here to help, but they don’t ask for advice. I give it anyway, and they just don’t bloody listen.”
Drew also took a jab at American fans, saying they lack a sense of humor and get offended too easily.
“I’m from the UK, like people in Australia—we’ve got silly senses of humor. But in America, people get offended so easily. I run my mouth nonstop, and everyone’s like, ‘OMG, you’re so offensive.’ I’m like, ‘Shut up, mate. Get a grip on yourself.’”
Drew McIntyre has never been shy about speaking his mind. Whether people agree with him or not, one thing’s for sure—he always keeps the conversation going.
