My Take
Drew McIntyre is the kind of story I find genuinely moving in pro wrestling. A 196-centimetre Scotsman from Ayr, university-educated, he climbed from tiny British promotions in 2001 all the way to the top of WWE. What earns my respect is not just the imposing frame but the arc of being hyped early, released, and then clawing back to a world title on sheer persistence. There is intelligence and patience behind the brawn, and that combination is rarer than it looks in this business. The claymore-wielding entrance is pure spectacle, but it is the resilience underneath that makes me root for him every time he steps through the ropes.
