As someone who signed with the WWE at 21 years old in 2007, left the company and came back, Drew McIntyre keeps perspective on his lot in wrestling life. 
In an interview with the State Journal-Register of Springfield, Ill., McIntyre said the following in regards to WWE Superstars who are complaining about opportunities they aren’t getting from the WWE: 
“I can look around now and see people who have lost perspective,” McIntyre said of the WWE locker room. “They’re perhaps tweeting about how upset they are and their lack of opportunity instead of bettering themselves or working harder outside of the ring. They’re clearly not going to the gym and they don’t have that fire anymore, and I understand it because I was there. And I can spot it because I was that guy.”

McIntyre said he’s made part of his beliefs about hard work part of his character, and it’s his job to come for those who aren’t giving their all to improve. 
I”It wasn’t until my life’s dream was taken away from me that I realized, ‘Wow, you really weren’t giving everything you could,‘” he said. ”… I was immature. I came straight from university. I came straight from my parents’ home, where they told me what to do, and the university told me what to do, and WWE told me what to do. When I was released, for the first time I was in control of my next move, and I said, ‘All right, it’s put up or shut up time.’
“It’s my job and my character’s job to get rid of those who don’t necessarily have that fire and remind me of my younger self.”
