10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (July 27)

2. Drew McIntyre Received FBI Documents As A Kid

Picture a 10-year old Drew McIntyre merrily skipping home from school in his native Ayr, Scotland to open important FBI documents shipped all the way from North America. Sounds silly, doesn't it? It actually happened, and it left Drew's dad completely baffled.

On Lilian Garcia's Chasing Glory podcast, McIntyre said he was hooked on conspiracy theories, ghost stories and the like as a kid. He'd subscribe to a magazine called The X-Factor, and one issue included a sample letter readers could fire off to the FBI if they wanted more information.

Much to daddy McIntyre's surprise, the actual Federal Bureau of Investigation responded. Not only that, they sent young Drew letters because he'd asked for them under the Freedom Of Information act.

Mcintyre received three document folders and a dossier with information on things 10-year old boys probably shouldn't have been interested in. Drew kept this to himself at school, largely because he knew friends would think it was strange.

It's just as well he didn't tell WWE creative all this.
