"His moves are executed terribly" - Drew McIntyre strongly disagrees with WWE legend Bret Hart's opinion

Drew McIntyre has shared his disagreement with WWE legend Bret Hart's opinion on the current WWE roster. The Scottish Psychopath is one of the most outspoken talents in the Stamford-based promotion.

McIntyre has questioned why Bret Hart is a fan of former WWE Champion CM Punk. The Hitman has often praised the Second City Saint, and in a recent interview, named him the best wrestler of the current era, but McIntyre isn't convinced.

During an appearance on Huge Pop, McIntyre talked about putting together wrestling matches. He mentioned that performing the moves well in the ring is important and obvious. While at it, he took a dig at Punk.

"The moves do matter, that’s a prerequisite. If you’re a wrestler and you don’t do the moves well, you shouldn’t be a wrestler. I shouldn’t have to say the moves are important because of course the moves are important. You should be able to execute them well. I mean, like CM Punk, I don’t know how Bret loves him so much, he’s like the opposite of the Excellence of Execution. His moves are executed terribly, but he believes everything he says and people buy his cr*p. So, good for him, I guess," he said. [From 14:36-15:00]

Drew McIntyre mentioned that, as a Bret Hart fan growing up, doing the in-ring moves well should be a given, but what matters on top of that is the emotional connection with the fans.

Drew McIntyre and CM Punk had a heated feud recently

Drew McIntyre was involved in an intense feud with CM Punk last year. The Scottish Warrior's Future Shock DDT at the 2024 Royal Rumble legitimately injured Punk and kept him out of WrestleMania XL.

The two stars then collided at SummerSlam, with Seth Rollins serving as the guest referee. McIntyre came out on top in that contest, but Punk got his revenge after winning a Strap Match at the Bash in Berlin Premium Live Event.

The final match of their trilogy took place at Bad Blood inside Hell in a Cell, where CM Punk beat McIntyre after a bloody showdown.

About the author

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
