Drew McIntyre has been off television ever since April as he last stepped into the ring when he faced Jacob Fatu at WrestleMania 42. Even though McIntyre hasn’t been on TV, he’s been quite busy working on acting projects.
While talking about his love for the fans on AwayDays Shirt Shopping, he expressed gratitude for the ones who have been there through the good times and bad times. However, he also warned autograph seekers not to show up to the airport looking to get a bunch of items signed so they can sell them.
“That’s what Drew Hollywood does. I still have time for my fans. I’ll never forget them. I’ve been doing this for 20 years, and I still feel the same way. I’m incredibly lucky to have my fans because there was a time when nobody came to see me or cared about me. I wasn’t in a good position on the show. I got fired.”
“And I know they got me to where I am. And I see how some people behave now, and I get it, sometimes they go too far. Don’t come to the airport with a bunch of pictures. That’s ridiculous. Or Funko Pops to sell. Yeah, exactly. If you happen to run into somebody, and they’re not with their kids or busy doing something private, just talk to them and get a picture. That’s fine. It happens naturally.”
At this point it’s not clear when Drew will be returning to WWE programming as he recently indicated that he’s focused on Hollywood at the moment.
