https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6ZmBknQcFg On the complete opposite end of the spectrum from the comedic Grado stands Drew Galloway. Known as Drew McIntyre during his tenure with WWE, Galloway managed to capture the Intercontinental Title and Tag-Team Championships, also being named by none other than Vince McMahon as "The Chosen One". Released by WWE in the Summer of 2014, Galloway was approached by pretty much every promotion under the sun, but interestingly said during recent interviews that the only man who didn't come begging was Mark Dallas. Instead, Galloway, who was the first ever ICW Heavyweight Champion before leaving for WWE, was the one who wanted to come back "home". The video of Drew's return to the ICW spotlight has reached over 200,000 views on YouTube, and was the talk of the wrestling world. Now the reigning ICW Champion again, after defeating Jack Jester in front of 1,600+ fans this past November, Galloway aims to take the company he loves to the top of the industry. Just try to watch that video of his return without getting goosebumps, these are the kind of moments ICW provide regularly.
