WWE superstar Drew McIntyre got very emotional during a visit to The Busted Open Radio Holiday Party to the point that he walked out on an interview. McIntyre discussed the personal sacrifices he has made for the industry and that a lot of times, in a lot of ways, the industry doesn’t give back.
“I’ve always given to this industry, probably too much and I never really felt like I got too much back. I would be over the moon if I thought people were following suit and it’d be good for the industry and for the future,” he began.
He then spoke about taking time off after Hell in the Cell.
“A close family member died. I don’t care about the staples in my head, all that shit. I don’t care about the injuries. I’ve showed up with broken bones, never told the office and worked right through it but I’ve never had true time at home ever, in 17 years. I’ve only ever been home when there’s a wrestling show. I’ve missed weddings, birthdays, some funerals just for this industry. My mum passed I was back at work after a couple of weeks. I never truly dealt with it and going home this time and spending real time with my family, I realized I might have made a mistake,” he said with regret. “I’ve given and given and given to this industry and it’s taken and taken and taken from my real family. I’m trying to keep it together in respect to everybody sitting with me right now but as much as we’re on the road and we call each other family that’s a matter of convenience. I was with my real family and when I was gone for three months I can count on one finger how many people checked in, like ‘How you doing Drew?’ And it really opened my eyes,” he continued saying when you are off television, everyone moves on and you are forgotten.
“So as far as I’m concerned when it comes to the internet fans I don’t give a f–k about your opinion,” he said before storming out of the interview.
He would later post this on social media.
