Drew McIntyre, one of WWE’s most experienced and respected superstars, remains a fan favorite, even though he’s currently playing the role of a heel. His sharp, often savage comments have earned him respect from fans because he always speaks with such accuracy. That’s why his bold remark about the new generation of WWE wrestlers made headlines in the wrestling world.
Speaking on the Wafflin’ podcast, McIntyre didn’t hold back as he questioned the toughness and grit of some of WWE’s younger talent. He recalled legendary moments, like when Triple H continued a match after tearing his quad.
“Unless I was dead, I would continue the match,” McIntyre said, emphasizing the old-school mentality he believes is fading. He then delivered his now-viral remark: “That’s the kind of mentality most of our superstars have,” he added.
“SOME OF THE NEW GUYS ARE PUSSIES”

But after that, he went all out, calling some new superstars “frickin’ pussies.” He said, “Maybe some of them, because some of the new guys are frickin’ pussies.” After these remarks, everyone wanted to know who he was talking about. However, McIntyre didn’t name anyone specifically.
Drew McIntyre still not official for WM41
Earlier this year, fans loved how Drew McIntyre kept himself involved against the Bloodline after his feud with CM Punk. However, things have changed recently, especially after the Royal Rumble. Now, his feud is with Damian Priest, which doesn’t feel as exciting.
Reports say McIntyre is unhappy with his current direction. In interviews, he called his storyline “sucks” and promised to give fans something better. Although McIntyre is expected to face Damian Priest at WrestleMania, fans are disappointed with how he’s been booked.
Drew McIntyre is due for a programme with Damian Priest heading into WrestleMania 41, a match described by a source as a 'nothing match'.

McIntyre is of the opinion that he deserves a more prominent feud after the most successful year of his career in 2024.

WWE is considering changing its plans based on fan reactions, but it’s still unclear what will happen at the biggest event of the year. The most concerning part is that WrestleMania is just two weeks away.
