WWE Bio

While many fellow 15-year-olds were worried about sitting at the “popular table” at lunchtime, Drew McIntyre was already training to become a WWE Superstar. It’s no wonder, then, why Mr. McMahon anointed him “The Chosen One.” At the young age of 22, McIntyre had skyrocketed from the independent scene to the big show, WWE contract in hand. From the get-go, McIntyre was determined to live up to the hype. Before even taking part in a single match, Drew turned SmackDown upside down in 2009 by launching a series of unrelenting attacks on more established Superstars, starting with R-Truth and Charlie Haas. The ruthless aggression paid dividends when he was personally awarded a SmackDown contract by Mr. McMahon, who called him a “future World Champion.” Armed with his aptly named Future Shock DDT, McIntyre continued to impress with a big win over John Morrison at WWE TLC 2009 to capture the Intercontinental Championship, and managed to hold the championship for more than five months. Hungry for more accolades, “The Sinister Scotsman” partnered with Cody Rhodes at Night of Champions 2010 to claim the WWE Tag Team Championship in a frenzied Tag Team Turmoil Match. Unsurprisingly, Drew’s alliance with Cody didn’t last long. Matt Striker may have said it best when he told the WWE Universe that “McIntyre only looks out for one person, and that is The Chosen One himself, Drew McIntyre.” Given the young Scot’s undeniable in-ring proficiency and propensity for devious tactics, the WWE Universe has its eye on McIntyre, awaiting this capable Superstar to fully realize the prophesy set forth by WWE’s Chairman.

Breakdown

If you played WWE ‘12 and its Road to WrestleMania mode, settling into the ring with Drew McIntyre and his Future Shock Finisher will feel like the return of an old friend. Downloading him puts both versions of the Future Shock into your move-set and a well-rounded young Superstar. He’s quick for a big guy but he is still rated at the lower end of the Superstar roster, with just an 84 Overall. Take the battle ringside and benefit from the out-of-ring damage multiplier and Taunt to boost your momentum.
