On a recent edition of WWE’s “The Bump,” Drew McIntyre addressed being branded a hypocrite on TV and admitted that the claim does get to him. He said,
“It bothers me a lot. Michael Cole, specifically, but Pat and anybody on commentary, they are the voices of WWE, Michael is the voice of WWE. He controls the narrative, he affects exactly how the fans think and feel, and he’s painted me with this negative brush. And I can’t swear on here, but it P’s me off.”
He continued, “Slowly but surely, everyone’s coming round to the truth … I am absolutely not a hypocrite. I’m doing absolutely what needs to be done for ‘Raw,’ for the world title, for WWE. I’ve been doing this thing my whole life. I’ve been doing it 20 years. Look at all the ups and downs and my personal journey — if anybody knows what’s good for this place, it’s Drew McIntyre.”
McIntyre has been called a hypocrite for allowing the Bloodline to help him in recent matches, despite having past issues with the faction.
