WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre recently spoke about his favorite match involving the People's Champ, The Rock.

The Scottish Warrior caught up with Sportskeeda Wrestling in an exclusive interview ahead of this Sunday's Survivors Series pay-per-view. Drew spoke about his role in the blue brand, facing Roman Reigns in the future, his favorite Rock match, and much more.

Drew McIntyre recalled the WrestleMania clash between the Rock and Hogan, stating that the match was a masterpiece of in-ring psychology. Drew mentioned that the two icons were able to convey their story and take the audience through the ups and downs of the match. Here's what Drew McIntyre had to say about the matchup:

"The thing that sticks in my mind when we talk about the small things in wrestling and being able to manipulate the crowd, Hogan and Rock in Toronto when they were face to face and all they did was turn their heads and how crazy the crowd went. The match, as it went on, just watching two masters, two generational icons do the most amazing job of taking the audience through a thrill ride and the audience at home, including me, through a thrill ride like never before. Whatever they had planned got completely switched and they were just feeling it when they were out there. That's what our industry is all about," Drew said.
