In FCW he's billed at 19 stone. Should that information be put up instead of using English/Metric weights?—Precedingunsigned comment added by69.143.187.108 (talk)19:14, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have it on good authority that Drew has been signed to a developmental deal with WWE. I won't post anything on the main article until I have more concrete sources.--HDC777710:41, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
He lives on the same street as my cousin. Added a pic.
Him and tiffany getting engaged is that a relaible source?—Precedingunsigned comment added by91.107.9.26 (talk)02:58, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
As highlighted inthis concise essay, there is no established consensus on how exactly a person from the United Kingdom would be referred to in the opening paragraph of their articles, and is therefore largely left to each article's editors and article-specific cases. I therefore feel that it's important for us to reach consensus for this particular article, as it seems to be consistently raised during edits. Personally, I feel that we should use the term Scottish, as he is always identified and referred to as such, and also seems to self-identify as such as well;similar usage on these terms is seen on articles such asSean Connery, where Connery is widely referred to as Scottish and as such the consensus is clear that he be referred to as such. ···巌流? ·talk to ganryuu21:04, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I just want to/would like to see written that even though he is from scotland, the main nationality, as a whole, is British. It is like if someone said that he is not american but washingtonian. I don't know, I see it like that. Please tell me if i'm wrong.ҢДMM®(Hundry Marquina!)21:17, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I know from knowing Drew personally, I'm pretty sure (don't quote me though) that he was doing his criminology degree but abandoned it when he got offered his WWE contract in June 2007. Not sure though. That's just what I remember him saying, but it was years ago so probably inaccurate.—Precedingunsigned comment added by92.17.148.42 (talk)15:34, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Getting fired
This page should get edited be he got fired from the wwe.
I check pages listed inCategory:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content fororphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some ofDrew Galloway's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct forthis article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Scot Drop was never a Reverse STO. It was what Future Shock was originally called. Even in the 2011 game they call it "Scot Drop". Proof:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghIIAJ8ZriQ71.183.89.177 (talk)15:07, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think we need to sort out a problem this article is having when it comes to the sub headings between 2009 to 2012. I beleive they need to be kept The Chosen One (2009-2011), Brand switches (2011-2012) and 3MB (2012). However, some people have a different idea and keep changing it. We need to stop changing these sub headers and come to a consensus on how the 2009-2012 should be laid out.— Precedingunsigned comment added byGamingWithStatoke (talk •contribs)13:31, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm curious how Drew is a "5 time World champion". By my accounts he won the WWE world title twice and the TNA World title once. So, if anything it should be three times.— Precedingunsigned comment added by68.196.67.65 (talk)18:21, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Unless there is a Wikipedia policy that I'm missing, please stop removing "RAW's Gold Medal of Excellence" from Drew McIntyre's "Championships & Accomplishments" section.
What we think of the prestige or value of this accomplishment is pretty irrelevant. It's really not debatable that it occurred and it's easy to reliably verify this.
It's listed on his WWE.com profile, a physical medal was awarded by an on-screen authority figure on WWE RAW television, it is available on WWE's YouTube/Peacock/WWE Network, many news sites reported on it and it's listed in a number of his independent profiles as an accomplishment/accolade/career highlight.
That is it not a repeat accolade does not disqualify it from inclusion on Wikipedia, since there are many one-offs titles/trophies/cups/awards/battle royals in WWE/wrestling history which are listed on Wikipedia. This includes ones which are not recorded on WWE.com under wrestler profiles, etc.
Ultimately, this section refers to his Championships & Accomplishments within WWE and WWE lists it among his "Career Highlights" along with his other title wins and the 2020 Royal Rumble. If it's demonstrably canon in WWE that this is one of Drew McIntyre's "Accomplishments" then it should be canon here.
