Since leaving WWE in 2014, Drew Galloway has become one of the best all-round performers in pro wrestling today. Shedding the McIntyre surname he used on Raw and SmackDown, the Scot is considered someone WWE didn't make the most of when they had the chance.

In interviews, Galloway has been upbeat about his time in the company. That positive reflection rang true during an appearance on The Ross Report, although Drew did take some time to recall a conversation with Triple H. Dubbed the 'Chosen One' by Vince McMahon, Galloway was supposed to sky rocket up the card and feud with top names.

Sitting amongst those potential rivalries was The Undertaker. Sadly for Galloway, Triple H felt the Ayr native looked too young to battle 'The Deadman'. This isn't something Drew could see at the time, it has taken years for him to realise what Triple H was getting at.

Baby-faced and clean cut, Galloway didn't quite look like the grizzled veteran he is today during that first WWE run.
