Drew McIntyre has further commented on the photo with Jack Perry that got the fans talking.
Throughout his rivalry with CM Punk, McIntyre has frequently trolled the Chicago native with insults directed at Punk’s past. While jokes about his injuries and a trip to Mindy’s Bakery in Chicago got the intended reaction, McIntyre took it to a whole new level when he snapped a picture with AEW’s Jack Perry, the man who engaged in a physical altercation with Punk at All In that ultimately led to Punk’s AEW termination.
Speaking with Chris Van Vliet, McIntyre spoke about the photo once again and how it did insane numbers online:
“I was flying to LA and they just did a show the night before. I’d seen Roderick Strong at the airport, a buddy of mine, and we got to catch up, which was awesome. He was heading to an ROH show I believe. And then on the flight, just saw Jack, had a little chat with him and his missus, and then we snapped a picture, and the internet had a freaking meltdown. It was hilarious.
I think it lasted 45 minutes. The numbers I heard were 2 million impressions or something insane for 45 minutes. It was pretty wild. People enjoyed that immensely. So, yeah, I’m always dancing on that line of what’s acceptable, and not acceptable. Make people question things.”
Was Drew McIntyre Asked To Delete Jack Perry Photo?
When asked if he knew where that line was of what is and not acceptable, the former WWE Champion responded that he is way beyond the line and kept the mystery up in regards to whether or not he was asked to delete the post:
“That’s probably back of 100 yards that way. That’s where I live. And yeah, I just do what is fun. And then did someone tell me? Didn’t someone tell me? Was it by design? Did I choose to remove it? I’ll never answer that question, because I love people asking questions.”
