History Trivia / DrewMcIntyre

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: The work visa issue that Teddy Long fired and deported him for for a week in 2010 was actually a real thing, except obviously they did the segment before it had actually expired.

* ThrowItIn: Apparently [[FinishingMove the Claymore]] came from a botched attempt at a Big Boot during his Wrestling/ThreeMB days. He came in off-balance while performing the move in the tight leather pants and ended up laying out by accident. When he saw the botch played back, he thought it looked cool and decided to keep it.

* FanNickname: His PowerTrio with Wrestling/BaronCorbin and Wrestling/BobbyLashley has been given the nickname of "The Midcard of Evil" by the guys of [=WrestleTalk=] and "Team Baddies" by Brian Zane at ''WebVideo/WrestlingWithWregret''.

* RealitySubtext: His overconfidence on his initial run. His initial push as Wrestling/VinceMcMahon's "Chosen One" was said to have gotten to his head behind the scenes, as confirmed by Drew himself. [[CharacterDevelopment Being released from the company completely drummed this aspect out of him]] both in kayfabe and in real life, giving him a new violent philosophy that has completely eschewed this idea, informing his character as both a face (in which he's happy to be where he's at but wants to make things better there and will tear apart whatever malcontent or entitled person's shenanigans stand in the way) and a heel (in which he's either desperate to maintain a top spot that he's held knowing he could lose it at any time or he thinks everyone around him is weak and complacent like he was before and it sickens him).

* CareerResurrection: After four years as a jobber on national television, decided to work at some World Wrestling Network shows turned out to be pretty good for him.
