The Rock quickly shouted out McIntyre — explaining, “I think he’s got a great look, great build” and insane potential!
Well, the video made quite an impact on Drew — who says it came out of the blue at a time where he was still trying to find his identity in the ring.
And, to hear someone like The Rock publicly talk about his talent gave him a huge boost to his confidence and his career.
Ya gotta watch the clip … Drew is incredibly humble and grateful for the support — and he’ll never forget it.
In fact, now that he’s become a champion himself, Drew says he will always remember to pay it forward and help other people in his life looking to get to the next level.
