10 Wrestlers Who Hated Taking Wrestling Moves

7. Drew McIntyre Will Never Forget The Hell Of The Cell

In the space of less than a year, Drew McIntyre has found himself thrown into the unforgiving Hell in a Cell environment on two separate occasions. For most performers, this isn't what you'd class as a desirable stat to possess. But for a star who is admittedly terrified of heights, you have to image it was a living nightmare for the Scot.

But while going toe-to-toe with Bobby Lashley inside of a cage likely wasn't a fun day at the office this year, it was the Drew's showdown with Randy Orton, and more specifically a bump he took, during October's version of the PPV which left him with a more bitter taste in his mouth.

McIntyre recalled his thought process to Fox Sports in the wake of his tumble, confessing:

"I hate heights. It’s gonna hurt like hell. I’m one of the bigger guys, aside from Foley, that’s come off the cell. I’m like 6’5, legitimately 270 pounds. That table’s gonna hopefully break my fall. It didn’t. It was the worst fall of my life."

Luckily, the former champ wasn't required to take the dive again in 2021, and he likely won't be throwing his name in the cell jump hat again going forward.
