Top WWE star Drew McIntyre appeared on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, where he talked about a number of topics including how breaking his neck in 2016 changed his physical regimen.

McIntyre said, “I always worked out hard. More like diet wise was such a difference maker for me. The key was breaking my neck initially. That kind of helped me in a lot of ways. People would ask me for advice. I was like, you know what really was a turning point in my life? Breaking my neck. Getting fired and breaking my neck. There’s two things I recommend for you to truly find your potential.”

On how it changed his mindset on wrestling:

“If I stand in front of Brock [Lesnar], am I believable? More than a lot of people. But no, I can do better than that. I’m going to build my body up to look the part. If I step in front of Brock, people are going to go, I believe he can beat him up… Fast forward a few years and I eliminated Brock from the Rumble.”
