How's this for out-there?

As a young child, Drew McIntyre was obsessed with conspiracy theories and wanted to glean as much information on the subject as he could. At one point, he subscribed to a magazine called 'The X-Factor' (which has nothing to do with Simon Cowell - or did it?) and was delighted when the mag included sample letters readers could ship off to the FBI.

To everyone's surprise, including Drew's father, the actual FBI responded to his request for info and said they'd granted it because McIntyre Jr had cleverly exploited terms of the Freedom Of Information act. No, this is not a joke; Drew told this story on Lilian Garcia's 'Chasing Glory' podcast.

The real-life feds were impressed by the then-10 year old boy's thirst for knowledge, and they shipped him three separate documents that included information on things most young kids didn't give a sh*t about. What a legend, and what a determined lad.

Drew's hidden talent is clearly a flair for detective work, and for outsmarting the FBI.
