In an interview with West Sport, WWE superstar Drew McIntyre criticised a large portion of the current WWE roster. He expressed disappointment that many young talents do not seek advice from veterans in the locker room.

“I’ve said it recently… 85% of the roster don’t look like wrestlers,” he stated. “I have a lot of friends that tune into Netflix for the first time… and, like, ‘wait a minute, I could beat up this guy. My kid could probably beat up this guy.’ So some of our roster need to dial it in. Maybe start looking like athletes.”

McIntyre said every performer must look credible and have something unique to stand out.

“I’m not saying you all have to look like Drew McIntyre, because you’re not gonna, but at least think of something that makes you stand out,” he said. “You got to grab people’s attention right away… You could be five foot eight and just have something about you that makes you stand out. Look at Rey Mysterio is a superhero… You gotta find your thing that makes you stand out.”

He voiced frustration over younger talents ignoring veteran advice.

“I give all this advice away for free in these interviews, because no one, like all the new guys listen to Twitter and it tells them how good they are. Oh I must be good. Twitter’s telling me I’m good,’ even though I’m not really on the show very often. You got all these vets here to ask, they don’t ask any advice… and they just don’t bloody listen.”

McIntyre also praised WWE’s system for replacing underperforming talents who fail to connect with the audience.

“If you don’t start resonating, or if you don’t do your job, well, we’re going to kick you right back off,” he stated. “Because somebody else is hungry, ready to take your spot.”
