NXT's Drew McIntyre

"Don't play a wrestler, be a wrestler."

The above quote comes from WWE vet and current NXT wrestler Drew McIntyre, who joined E&C Pod in advance of his title match against Bobby Roode, at next week's NXT Takeover. Among the many topics covered were Drew's time in WWE, how he persevered while being away from the company, the difference in his attitude and outlook this time around, and the whirlwind day that was Orlando's pre-WrestleMania NXT Takeover.

Also, we found out that Stone Cold's "What?" originated on Christian's voicemail and McIntyre revealed that E&C are partially to blame for how much he says brother brother, before he shared some kind words about Sir Thomas Dreamer (TommyTommy).

Prior to sitting down with Drew, E&C caught up for a bit, talking about Christian's current acting gig, the Tommay Challenge, and the design on Edge's first pair of Sexton Hardcastle tights.
