10 Things We Learned From WWE 24: Drew McIntyre
10. What Drew's Mother Was Told Before He Was Born
It'd be remiss not to start with the strength of Drew's mother Angela.
She was diagnosed with Cerebellar Ataxia (a condition which, amongst other things, throws one's balance off) at just 18 years old. Doctors told Angela that she'd probably never have children, and almost everybody in her life advised against it once she later fell pregnant.
Some even asked her to abort over fears for her and the baby, but she refused and gave birth to a boy. On 24, a tearful Drew reflected on the determination his mum showed and how tough it must've been to battle her illness for 30 long years. She was the very definition of a real-life superwoman.
Pictures of the future WWE Champ with his mother are some of the more heart wrenching moments of the entire documentary. It's fascinating to learn what she fought through to bring Drew into the world, and how willing she was to do it.
