Drew McIntyre has been outspoken both on social media and during his wrestling promos. In the course of his rivalry with Cody Rhodes, McIntyre referenced the legacy of Cody’s late father, Dusty Rhodes, even going so far as to burn a photo featuring the two. Speaking on TMZ Inside The Ring, McIntyre was questioned about whether there is a limit to how far he is willing to go in his verbal and physical exchanges.
McIntyre Highlights Cody Rhodes’ Ability to Endure Challenges
Addressing the notion of boundaries, McIntyre firmly declared that he does not believe there is such a thing as going “too far” nowadays. He emphasized his readiness to give and endure harsh words or physical punishment alike. McIntyre acknowledged Cody Rhodes’ resilience, noting Rhodes’ willingness to withstand literal punches in the ring, including risky stunts like jumping off balconies. He remarked on Rhodes’ toughness, especially his capacity to absorb verbal attacks and respond in kind.
No. I honestly don’t believe there is such a thing as too far these days. I’m willing to take it as well as willing to give it out. A lot of people might take some of the stuff I say and get offended and maybe run and cry to management. Cody is not one of those people. I’ll give him credit where credit is due. He’ll take punches, literally, in the ring. He does some crazy stuff. He jumped off a balcony. He puts his body on the line every time. He also has pretty thick skin. He’ll take a verbal lashing and give it right back. As far as I’m considered, there is no limit, and I’m going to keep pushing the boundaries. You think I’ve been bad before I won the title, just wait. People are probably going to try and cancel me for some of the stuff I’m going to say. You can’t cancel the champ,
said McIntyre.
