10 Amazing "Call And Responses" In Wrestling

10. Drew McIntyre - 3... 2...1

Let’s start with a very recent one, and one so basic it’s brilliant. There is an argument to say that this simple call to the crowd changed Drew McIntyre’s career.

By late 2019, the ‘Scottish Warrior’ was floundering as a mic-card heel. After a great run with Dolph Ziggler over the summer of 2018, McIntyre found himself slipping into the type cast role of tough guy enforcer. From Dolph, to Strowman, to Shane McMahon, McIntyre didn’t really have an identity.

Then, out of nowhere, it felt like he was given free reign to talk on the mic and the fans started to warm to his affable charm. The introduction of the Claymore Countdown was genius.

Going from mid-card heel sludge to one of the most over babyfaces on the roster in a matter of weeks, McIntyre quickly instilled himself as a potential favourite for the 2020 Royal Rumble. Vince McMahon and Co. decided to ride that wave to the former ‘Chosen One’s’ victory and he his elimination of Brock Lesnar.

A few months later, McIntyre defeated ‘The Beast’ at WrestleMania for the belt and solidified himself as a main event star. As recently as this past Smackdown!, McIntyre called for a countdown on Roman Reigns, solidifying that bond with the audience.

Without it, it’s unlikely McIntyre’s second run with the company would have been as successful as it has been.
