10 Things We Learned From Drew McIntyre On Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Sessions

10. “I’m Thinking About Letting You”

There were no shortage of funny stories from Drew.

One of the best came near the beginning of his WWE career. The Scot had just finished a second tryout with the company when John Laurinaitis took him for a walk away from the other hopefuls gathered around the ring and said he was thinking about signing him to a contract.

Rather cockily, Drew replied by saying, "I'm thinking about letting you". That got a pop out of Austin, but McIntyre cringes when thinking about it now. Despite being super-nervous on the inside, he was determined to hold things together on the outside.

His brashness worked - Laurinaitis didn't slap Drew down or tell him to mind his attitude. Instead, WWE liked that their prospective new hire had some confidence. Still, it was bold as brass to stand there and effectively play heel to a company higher-up.
