Former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre has said that Vince McMahon told him to listen to The Undertaker during his early years in the company.
McIntyre was handpicked by Vince McMahon to become a future world champion in WWE during his first run in the company. But the Scotsman couldn't fulfill the prophecy and was ultimately released before returning to the company and winning the world title.
In a recent interview with Hollywood Raw, McIntyre recalled the advice that McMahon gave him. The former WWE Chairman told the Scottish star to listen to The Phenom's advice.
“Sheamus and I were kind of the first two people they took as the kind of projects. With Sheamus on Raw and myself on SmackDown. Sheamus was put under the Triple H learning tree and I was going to The Undertaker learning tree. Vince said ‘You don’t listen to anybody but The Undertaker.’ I wish I thought the way I think now back then, because [his] wrestling IQ is obviously off the charts. At the time, mine was a lot lower than it is now. So many of those lessons that I got, just flew right over my head. Thankfully I remembered a few,” said McIntyre. [H/T SeScoops]
McIntyre stated that his experience working with The Deadman was "awesome" and that he learned several things from the legend, one of which was being an effective leader.
