Drew McIntyre Was Worried His Scottish Accent Messed Up First Meeting With Vince McMahon

Drew McIntyre remains one of the top Superstars in WWE and certainly has a lot of passion for the pro wrestling business. He is a former two-time WWE Champion and was the face of the company during the pandemic era as the WWE Champion. Before that, he had a lot to prove, especially to Vince McMahon.

McIntyre was introduced as The Chosen One by Vince McMahon as many thought he was destined for greatness. However, it seems Drew McIntyre was worried he might have messed up his first meeting with McMahon.

While speaking on The Rich Eisen Show, the former WWE Champion revealed that he was worried that McIntyre ruined his first meeting with Vince McMahon due to his thick Scottish accent. McIntyre feared that McMahon couldn’t understand a single word he said.

“I mentioned that I came from Scotland and was straight on WWE television, I was there within three weeks. I’ve been wrestling professionally since I was 15, but it was a part-time job because I was in school the whole time. I was basically at Uni and within six weeks, I was at WWE and on the road. I was sitting in catering, wondering what was going on. ‘There’s the Undertaker, there’s Triple H. This is crazy. Be cool, Drew.’ Vince McMahon just sits himself down right in front of me and asks me how I’m doing. In my head, I’m like, ‘That’s Vince McMahon, don’t say anything stupid.’ We have a casual conversation that lasts like a minute. He tells me ‘good luck’ and walks off. My accent was so thick back then and all I think is, ‘He didn’t understand a word I just said. I just ruined it all,’”
