If anyone in WWE knows a thing or two about slogging it out to achieve their goals, it's Drew McIntyre. When the Scot was released in 2014, it would have been easy for him to rest on his laurels as an "ex-WWE Superstar", take indy bookings and live off his fame.

That didn't appeal to him.

Diamond Dallas Page gave an example of Drew's work ethic during an interview with Sportskeeda this week. After seeing what Page's yoga program had done for legends like Jake Roberts, Scott Hall and Chris Jericho, McIntyre decided he wanted in on the action.

The only problem was that DDP's studio was a seven hour drive away from Drew's base in Tampa, Florida. That didn't stop him. Page said he couldn't believe McIntyre's determination, or the fact he regularly drove the trip from Tampa to Atlanta, Georgia just so he could work out.
