WWE invited me along to get a taste of the action as Scotland hosted its first WWE premium live event in history this weekend with Clash at the Castle.T he WWE is globally recognised as the biggest professional wrestling promotion on the planet and with local hero Drew McIntyre main-eventing the show it was a highly-anticipated event.So getting the opportunity to attend as a member of the press was an opportunity that I could not refuse.
Here’s my experiences from the weekend. Advertisement Advertisement Did you know with an ad-lite subscription to GlasgowWorld, you get 70% fewer ads while viewing the news that matters to you. The fun began on Friday morning as I got to attend the press junket where I met several WWE stars including Drew McIntyre, Piper Niven, Alba Fyre, Isla Dawn and Bianca Belair at the Hilton hotel in Glasgow - just hours after attending a Foo Fighters gig in Manchester.
Despite my lack of sleep, it was hugely exciting for me as a lifelong wrestling fan and the fact I got the chance to chat, take pictures with wrestlers and have my cowboy hat complimented by Piper Niven was unbelievably cool. Having got there late and with some fellow media professionals in attendance believing I was an Undertaker cosplay (I’ll happily take it as a compliment), I had to wait a little bit before my first interview and I got to speak with Drew McIntyre. First and foremost, Drew is crazy tall.
I almost felt miniscule next to him, but he was very friendly and getting to in.
