Drew McIntyre is turning heads with his no-filter approach, and this time he’s taken his shots far beyond just one rival. In a candid appearance on the Huge Pop Podcast with Donnie DaSilva and Jimmy Korderas, McIntyre criticized over 80 percent of the WWE roster, claiming most superstars don’t meet the physical or professional standards expected in the industry today.

McIntyre expressed frustration with what he sees as declining fitness standards in WWE. While insisting he doesn’t expect everyone to look like a bodybuilder, he believes all performers should at least “look like athletes.” The Scottish Warrior estimated that “85 percent maybe 82 percent” of the current locker room doesn’t belong on the roster. He doubled down, stating, “Get in the damn gym. My God at least look like an athlete.” He also shared a quote from The Undertaker that still guides him today: “Don’t play the wrestler, be the wrestler.”
