Drew McIntyre was recently a guest on Busted Open Radio’s Holiday Party, after going off on the online wrestling fanbase, the former WWE Champion stormed out of the interview. This clip went viral in a matter of hours and it led to Jim Ross reaching out to McIntyre on social media.
On the latest episode of Grilling JR, Ross spoke about reaching out to Drew McIntyre following his outburst on Busted Open Radio.
“That was heavy, wasn’t it? I sent him a tweet, and I’ve known him since he got started. I’ve commiserated with him on many occasions,” Jim Ross revealed. “He had some marriage issues back in the day and so forth. I sent him a tweet that I’m always here for you. A lot of the guys that I signed, a lot of the guys that I work with, I feel that way.
“It’s not an AEW/WWE relationship. It’s JR being friends with some talents, and he always valued my opinion. I just wanted to let him know that there’s somebody out that didn’t have a dog in the hunt. If you just want to shoot the breeze, talk, I’m available. Because maybe I could help him. Maybe I could help him become more positive and less angry. I have a lot of respect for Drew, and I’m proud of his success. WWE’s got a good one with him.” [H/T: Fightful]
