Drew McIntyre comments on what he thinks was likely the best match of his wrestling career
During an interview with Chris Van Vliet, WWE star Drew McIntyre reflected on his Wrestlemania 39 match against Gunther and Sheamus…
“I’d say bell to bell, the fact that it was at WrestleMania that could be the best match, probably is the best match of my career. I mean, how can you top being at WrestleMania, having a match that people say is one of the greatest Mania matches of all time, but perhaps the greatest Triple Threat of all time, and also the history I have with Sheamus? For the past 20 years, in the ring and out the ring, everything we’ve gone through together, and then adding Gunther, was somebody who’s just very similar to us, such an incredible physical in-ring talent. Put us all together and it was amazing.
I remember not even 10 minutes into the match. Think it was after Sheamus gave me about 40 beats to the chest and the face. Nice. And then the crowd went crazy, and they’re chanting I believe this is awesome. And I was like, wow, we’re not even getting started. Wait till you see and also, why am I seeing double at this point? That was cool. And the story for the match was cool as well, because eventually Gunther disappeared for a while, and Sheamus and I have always dreamed about our one-on-one match at WrestleMania. And we went back and forth for 10 straight minutes, claymores and brogues and hitting our bombs. It was like we’re having that singles match. We forgot about Gunther, and at the right moment, he just reappears. Boom, steals it, heads out. So that was cool as well that Sheamus and I kind of got a one-on-one match at Mania we should have had the year prior.” (quote courtesy of ChrisVanVliet.com)
