WrestleMania 36 wasn't what Drew McIntyre dreamed it'd be, but he's damn proud of what WWE achieved amidst a global pandemic.

Giving people hope that seemed in short supply wasn't his first thought once it became clear that the biggest wrestling show of 2020 would happen without fans. After some introspection though, the big Scot realised that escapism and entertainment might help some get through. So, he dutifully left his own initial thoughts behind, performed for millions and fulfilled a childhood dream.

McIntyre's journey from timid-but-passionate young boy to musclebound WWE Champion and family man is explored in-depth during WWE's latest 24 episode on the Network. It's a personally-affecting tale of gut-wrenching heartache, professional pride and everything in between, and you need to watch it.

If you do, you'll find someone unafraid to let fans peer deep into his soul to see what makes him tick. You'll also punch the air when reliving Drew's biggest moments and find out that you have more in common with the man than you might think.

Here's everything we learned from one hour of pure emotion...
