A Chosen Destiny
A Chosen Destiny: My Story | Drew McIntyre
4 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
A destiny chosen, a destiny squandered, and a champion's relentless pursuit for redemption. From a young age, Drew dreamed of becoming WWE Champion and following in the footsteps of heroes "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and Undertaker. With his parents' support, he trained and paid his dues, proving himself to tiny crowds in the Butlin's circuit. At age twenty-two, McIntyre made his WWE debut and was touted by none other than WWE Chairman Vince McMahon as "The Chosen One," who would lead WWE into the future. With his destiny in the palm of his hands, Drew watched it all slip through his fingers. Through a series of ill-advised choices and family tragedy, Drew's life and career spiralled. As a surefire champ, he struggled under the pressure of expectations and was fired from the company. But the WWE Universe has not seen the last of this promising athlete. Facing a crossroads, this powerful Scotsman set a course to show the world the real Drew McIntyre. Buoyed by the support of his wife, Kaitlyn, and the memory of his beloved mother, Drew embarked on a mission to recharge, reinvent and revitalise himself to fulfil his destiny. It is a story of grit, courage and determination as a fallen Superstar discovers who he truly is and storms back to reclaim his dream.

Found this at Barnes and Noble for 50% off and a signed copy. Yes I had to pick this up, even though I‘d read it already and have it on my kindle. I can never resist a sale and a signed copy.

My favorite current wrestler wrote a book and it was pretty good! If you aren't a fan of wrestling, you likely won't find much here to enjoy as he shares a lot about his passion for wrestling at a young age and his journey into that world as a young Scottish kid when the UK didn't have a large wrestling industry. Drew tells how his brother and friends got interested in the sport and how he began to make opportunities for himself. Being a fan,⬇️

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I was a bit more familiar with his early TV debut as The Chosen One and his fall from grace, so to speak. Throughout his time away from the most popular wrestling company, WWE, he continued to work his way back to the top, culminating in his headlining match at the 2020 Wrestlemania during a pandemic. He's charming and his love of the sport shows through while giving us a glimpse at the homebody behind the scenes who really likes to spend time⬇️ 3y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick with his wife and cats. Don't come in here looking for lots of gossip though - he's currently on the roster and doesn't ruffle any feathers.
I grew up watching wrestling and the annual events Wrestlemania & Royal Rumble are two of the times each year my brother and I get to watch together, and that's always awesome, because my brother is my favorite person. ⬇️

MaleficentBookDragon My favorite wrestler of all time is The Undertaker. 3y
TheAromaofBooks My husband grew up with wrestling so when we got married I unwillingly found myself drawn into the drama! 😂 We don't have cable now so I'm a bit out of the loop. It cracks me up how much it's like a giant soap opera in the sense that the complicated storylines are neverending!! 3y
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I had already stacked this, but now I want to read it even more! 3y
MaleficentBookDragon @TheAromaofBooks you are so right. I tell the #manpanion that all wrestling is, is a soap opera for men. 3y

Oh boy! This will be released in the US May 4th and I'm going to preorder a physical copy. If he reads the audiobook, I might get one of those, too. What can I say? I'm a sucker for hotties with Scottish accents.
***insert happy dance here***

This also helps me decide on a book for the #pop21 challenge that reminds me of my favorite person, place, or thing, my brother, the wrestling fan.

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm OMG!!! ❤️😱❤️ 3y
mariaku21 Yeah if he's reading the audio, the man can take my money 😉 I would love for a man with an accent reading to me so this would work 3y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I'll keep you posted if I see confirmation of it @mariaku21 Are you a wrestling fan? 3y

mariaku21 @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I am! It's something I share with my dad so Sunday's tend to be off limits 3y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @mariaku21 That's awesome! My brother & I grew up with it. Luckily my guy did, too. Now we try to get together for Rumble & Mania and text during others events. True story: During Drew's initial WWE run, his long, light hair and baby face had us calling him Reba McIntyre and we didn't like him. He's not allowed to shave 🤣🤣 3y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @mariaku21 His social media confirmed that he IS being his book. Audiobook, here I come! 3y
mariaku21 @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Yessss!! Same! I'll just throw them my money 😂 3y
mariaku21 @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I didn't see the earlier text but yes, he can't shave him ... I was telling my sister that looking they side by side is like that sugar baby/ sugar daddy candy meme. 3y
