WWE Champion Drew McIntyre spoke with TMZ Sports where he gave thanks to The Rock for believing in him during a time when he wasn’t doing much in the WWE.
The Rock’s comments were made last July. Here is what McIntyre had to say:
“I want to give a shout-out because you guys posted something with The Rock,” McIntyre began. “Right before the call — ‘TMZ? Why does that ring a bell?’ — it was interesting when he took a moment and was asked, ‘Who is going to be the next breakout star?’ and he said Drew McIntyre. If you watch what I was doing at the time, I was doing nothing. I wasn’t showing my personality, like I’ve done over the past few months.
“I wasn’t on a winning streak and he pointed me out. It’s interesting with guys like, Vince McMahon and The Rock, when they see something in somebody that others don’t or maybe you don’t see in yourself. I wanted to say thank you for seeing that in me, too. It’s pretty cool, these people that believed in me that are so influential in the entertainment industry.”
