Drew McIntyre Asked To Do More Media For WWE

Drew McIntyre has been WWE's workhorse when it comes to interviews over the last 18 months. Rarely a day goes by where The Scottish Warrior isn't speaking to somebody about his journey in WWE and his two world title reigns. 

McIntyre's real-life friend and storyline rival Sheamus jokingly mocked Drew's frequent media appearances recently and the former EVOLVE Champion revealed to GiveMeSport that he asked WWE to do more media.

"I did push, 'give me as much as possible, give me the ball.' I always wanted the opportunity to represent the company, obviously on-screen in a high capacity, but also off-screen to try and draw those new eyeballs in for a number of reasons. The biggest one of all this year is growing that confidence. I saw it as a unique opportunity; if I'm going to be home, I wanted to start working on things that are maybe my weak areas, but are very important in WWE," Drew said.

"Obviously, getting good at media is a big part of it. I said, 'give me it all, I want to get so good during this time period that I'm actually home, when we're back out on the road, you can put me on any television show, any radio interview, and I'll be able to represent myself and the company the way we should be represented.' A lot of people say no to these things and I'm like, 'This isn't a real job.' I've got buddies back in Scotland who are working real jobs, a lot of hours a week, very very difficult. This is all I've ever wanted to do and this is a dream. If you put me in a situation where I'm going to sit down every day, chat to people like yourself about WWE and me, and give myself screen time as well as put WWE over, this is living the dream. If you don't want to do it, Drew McIntyre is going to do it, I assure you."

McIntyre also responded to Sheamus' comments, adding: "Somebody is a little bit jealous that nobody wants to speak to Sheamus very often. I know the tone they said it in as well, he's messing around. We mess with each other. Then the dirt sheets grab the headline and go, 'Sheamus says McIntyre not interesting.' If you listen, you'll hear the tone. He's just messing around. I'm gonna give him crap. I already texted him and said, 'Come on, buddy, I'll send some media your way. I do 95 hours a week, you're a little bit jealous. You want some more screen time, some more TV time, I'll look after you.'"
