Okay, so I’ve been digging into this whole “Drew McIntyre debut” thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a trip down memory lane. I wanted to really understand the whole story, from start to finish, so I spent a good chunk of time just piecing it all together.

First Steps: Finding the Original Stuff
First, I scoured the internet for his debut. I tried to find the old footage and I think the offical website is probably the best place.
Watching and Re-watching
Next up, I spent hours just watching. And re-watching. I wanted to catch every little detail – his entrance, the crowd’s reaction, the way he moved in the ring, his opponent, everything. I must have watched that debut match five times, at least.
Taking Notes Like a Madman
While I was watching, I kept a notepad handy and jotted down everything that stood out. Like, I noted the date, the opponent, the specific moves he used, and any promos or interviews around that time. It was a mess of scribbles, but it helped me keep track of everything.
Putting the Pieces Together
- Debut Date & Opponent: I needed to be absolutely sure about when and who.
- Initial Reaction: Was he a good guy or a bad guy right away? How did the fans react?
- Early Storylines: What was he feuding about in those first few weeks and months?
- Evolution: How did his character and style change from that debut to, say, a year later?
It felt like detective work, connecting all these dots to form a complete picture of his early career.
Realizing the “Chosen One” Thing
The big thing I realized was how quickly he got that “Chosen One” label. I wanted to find the exact moment that happened. It was a crucial piece of the puzzle. It turns out it was very soon and very impacting.
I feel like I’ve got a pretty good handle on it now. It was way more than just a single match; it was the start of a whole journey.
