Vince McMahon Had A Hard Time Understanding This Former WWE Champion and WrestleMania Headliner Due To His Thick Accent: “We’re Gonna Have To Get You Elocution Lessons”

Vince McMahon had been running the WWE universe for 40 years, before his sudden retirement in July 2022. McMahon has chosen many talents from all around the world for his promotion. But the one talent, in particular, gave McMahon a hard time. From his laid-back attitude in his initial days to his thick foreign accent, Mr. McMahon had to put a lot of work into this superstar.

The Chosen One of Vince McMahon, Drew McIntyre, is currently the crowd-puller for the WWE promotion. But it took him a long time to be the Baby Face of the company. Keeping the fact in mind that McIntyre was an outsider in America. It’s hard for an interloper in America to stand out among so many talents and especially in pro wrestling, where the competition is fierce.

But McIntyre never faltered and became The Chosen One, and Vince McMahon had a big helping hand behind it. The 37-year-old superstar revealed how Vince McMahon helped him in his initial days with his thick accent. While talking to Chris Van Vliet, McIntyre spoke about how he reinvented himself and the role of Vince McMahon, behind his accent.

Drew said, “Every single person in Scotland has the thickest accent on planet earth. Even though we only talk English, people have said this to me multiple times, especially when I first moved here. […] I had to really work on it to the point where Vince McMahon told me when I was 24 you know, ‘we’re gonna have to get you elocution lessons, Drew’ after I gave him this passionate speech.”

It seems like the lesson that Vince McMahon made him really paid off. The general American audience now can at least understand 50 percent of Drew McIntyre’s vocabulary. 

How Vince McMahon helped to push the career of Drew McIntyre

After the debut of McIntyre, Vince McMahon himself announced him as The Chosen One. “Let’s go back 13 years ago. I debut with WWE. I was 21 years old at the time and not long after that, Mr. McMahon himself proclaimed me as The Chosen One, the future of the company. He actually said, ‘this gentleman is going to be the future world champion,’” said Drew.

In 2014, WWE released Drew McIntyre from his contract. McIntyre made a comeback through NXT in 2017 and later joined the WWE again. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that the prediction of Mr. McMahon is finally coming to reality. Even though McMahon got retired from WWE, he’ll surely be proud of the long shot he made on The Scottish Warrior.
