Drew McIntyre Reflects On His WWE Release
Drew McIntyre has reflected on his WWE release back in 2014.
In a new video posted to Twitter, McIntyre looked back on the WWE.com article that confirmed his exit from the company. In assessing it, McIntyre particularly focused on the headline, which his categorized his name under the umbrella of “other.”
“‘Brodus Clay, Evan Bourne, Teddy Long, Curt Hawkins and other WWE Superstars released,’” McIntyre read. “It was ten years ago today. I am one of the ‘other.’ I’m not even in the picture here. Ten years ago was the best thing that happened to me, because I ended up right back here in ICW. I found myself as a performer. I found myself as a man, grew business outside of WWE, and ten years later, main event Clash at the Castle. Not bad for ‘other.’”
