Drew McIntyre shares his thoughts on a potential match against WWE SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis.
During his recent appearance on the INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet podcast, former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre said he can feel the fans’ interest in seeing him and Nick Aldis go at it in a match. However, he doesn’t feel that with Jacob Fatu, saying it’s just a matter of two big guys fighting for hours, comparing it to Godzilla vs. Kong and Peter Griffin vs. the giant chicken from Family Guy.
“Oh yeah, I can feel it when I’m out there with him,” Drew McIntyre began. “Whenever we go back and forth on the microphone, I can feel the people starting to get into it. I don’t feel it with Jacob. And I think Jacob and I turned a big corner after fighting like Peter Griffin and the giant chicken for three straight hours before we fell off a giant platform where I dragged him to hell with me. So we’ve turned a big corner for our feud, even though Jacob and I, you look at the basics of it.
“It could just be Godzilla Kong, two big guys fighting. People are happy to see it. But we have this story. We’ve screwed each other along the way. He took away the biggest moment for me, being champion at WrestleMania. We have the story built in, and then we have the physicality and how good the match is going to be, how good the people know the match is going to be, and then the big fight on SmackDown, and who knows where it’s going to go. I’ve got plenty of ideas about what I want, so it’ll be good,” Drew McIntyre said.
Drew McIntyre believes he and Nick Aldis should have an unsanctioned match
Speaking further, Drew McIntyre noted that there is real tension between him and Nick Aldis after everything that transpired. He brought up Aldis’ time as a wrestler in the NWA, where he held the world championship for 1043 days. McIntyre believes he and Aldis should have a match without any restrictions.
“But at the same time, there’s this Aldis thing simmering at the side, and every time we go back and forth, you can feel the tension. You can cut it with a knife,” Drew McIntyre said. “We’ve known each other a long time. I name-dropped his son because I have known him for that long. But what a corporate stooge he is, his Donovan must be ashamed of him having such a corporate stooge for a father instead of backing me, the one who’s in the right and the one that he’s known for years, and his one is his actual friend.
“So when the time is right, be it Mania, be after Mania. I think we should have a match, and I don’t think there should be any sanctioning around it. I don’t think anyone should be allowed to interfere. He tapes up the fists. He’s been up in the ring a long time. He thinks he can go with a four-time former world champion in WWE in the big leagues,” Drew McIntyre said.
“He’s probably the greatest NWA champion of the modern era, since Billy took over NWA. But he’s not been in there for a long time. He’s a big guy. I would love to get in there with him, and I’d love to see what damage I could do, and no one’s allowed to interfere, then come up close and ask me to stop politely,” Drew McIntyre concluded.
