Drew McIntyre Would Like To Be Managed By Paul Heyman: He Speaks His Mind Because He’s Right

Drew McIntyre thinks it would be fun to be a Paul Heyman Guy in storyline down the road.

Drew McIntyre usually finds himself on the opposite end of the squared circle from one of Paul Heyman’s clients. However, Drew McIntyre says that he has had good experiences in his own career working behind the scenes with Paul Heyman and when asked who he would like to manage him, Drew says being a heel with Paul Heyman by his side is something that he believes could be interesting.

“If you say ‘anybody,’ right away, Bobby Heenan is someone who comes to mind,” McIntyre tells Josh Martinez of Z100 on his Superstar Crossover podcast. “But at the same time, you know, I’ve been around Paul Heyman when he’s been managing some of my opponents like a Brock Lesnar and a Roman Reigns, and I saw what he’s been able to do for them. He is someone that has advised me throughout the years, especially when I was younger and he’s a very, very smart individual. There’s a reason he’s been around for so long, even though he’s been able to cause a bit of heat throughout his career. He’s not shy to speak his mind, and most of the time it’s because he’s right, and some people don’t like that. He’s kept himself within the industry because he is that good. So I may have to go with Paul Heyman and there may be something interesting down the line, you’re talking about a bad Drew and a Paul Heyman. Again, we’re just playing fantasy booker here, that could be interesting.”

This Sunday, Drew McIntyre will once again find himself on the opposite side of the ring as Paul Heyman as he teams with Randy Orton and Matt Riddle against Roman Reigns and The Usos, The Bloodline. You can see the full card for WrestleMania Backlash here.
