In an industry where physical prowess and mental resilience are paramount, WWE superstar Drew McIntyre has turned what many would consider a career-ending setback into a pivotal moment of personal and professional growth. 

During an engaging conversation on "Insight with Chris Van Vliet," McIntyre delved into how a severe injury not only changed his physical regimen but also his entire outlook on wrestling and life.

"I always worked out hard. More like diet wise was such a difference maker for me," McIntyre began. "The key was breaking my neck initially. That kind of helped me in a lot of ways. People would ask me for advice. I was like, you know what really was a turning point in my life? Breaking my neck. Getting fired and breaking my neck. There's two things I recommend for you to truly find your potential."

This period of recovery allowed McIntyre to reassess and rebuild not just his body but his approach to wrestling. 

"If I stand in front of Brock [Lesnar], am I believable?" McIntyre asked. "More than a lot of people. But no, I can do better than that. I'm going to build my body up to look the part. If I step in front of Brock, people are going to go, I believe he can beat him up."

The former WWE Champion made it a goal to come back in the best shape possible, eating as much as he could, as well as practicing his promo skills

"Fast forward a few years and I eliminated Brock from the Rumble," McIntyre said proudly.
