Drew McIntyre has commented about the negative reaction to his upcoming match planned for WrestleMania 38.
Drew McIntyre has responded to fans criticism of the planned match with Happy Corbin in a new interview with Metro.co.UK, saying that fans are lying to themselves if they don’t recognize the talent in Happy Corbin.
Sharing his thoughts on the upcoming match, McIntyre said:
“I’m very excited about it, personally. I’ve seen some of the comments when the match was made, the internet can be very harsh place.
“I appreciate all my fans around the world, their reaction is, ‘Drew’s not wrestling for the title? He won the title from Brock two years along, he fought for the title last year, this year he’s fighting Corbin?!’
“I understand that and I appreciate that, but the way I see it is, aside from his obvious talent in the ring – anyone who says he’s not talented in-ring is lying to themselves.”
Drew went on to share more about his goal for the match, and an important reminder for the self-appointed online critics who still doubt the potential of the matchup, saying:
“My goal in the future is to make sure that prior to the match people are like, “This is gonna be good!” Rather than afterwards saying it was amazing! That’s the goal in the future – remember when you’re insulting my match, you’re insulting me as well.
On the biggest stage of all, everybody will come away from it saying, “Wow, that match” – I guess it’ll surprise a lot of people online, but those who know will not be surprised because he’s a hell of an athlete.”
Drew McIntyre is set to face off against Happy Corbin at WrestleMania on the Night 1, WrestleMania Saturday April 2, 2022.
