“I mean, I’m happy to watch all wrestling, especially when I’m off. You know, when I was out that three months,” McIntyre said. “That’s a chance for me to catch up and everything. You know, Impact, AEW, New Japan, the independent scene. And I’m just happy to see so many people that I’m friends with making a full-time living. That wasn’t the case when I was fired in 2014 and reinvented what it meant to be an independent wrestler. Using social media, as I still do to this day at a top level, it’s been going since 2014, to rebrand myself. To see how much the industry grew in those three years and led to so many places with so many people making a full-time living is awesome.”
