WWE SmackDown star and former two times WWE world champion Drew McIntyre who is also a former two times WWE Tag Team Champion recently remembered his match against Roman Reigns at Clash at the Castle and talked about its amazing crowd.
WWE Clash at the Castle was the first premium WWE pay per view event to take place in Europe in 30 years. Only 6 matches were booked for the event and all of them were excellently booked. One of the matches has already become a match of the Year Contender and that is the Intercontinental championship match between Sheamus and Gunther. Dave Meltzer gave it a 5 star rating.
Drew McIntyre Talks About The Amazing Clash At The Castle Crowd
The main event of the night was the WWE Undisputed Universal heavyweight championship match where Roman Reigns defended his Championship against the Scottish Psychopath Drew McIntyre. It was also a very good match. But ultimately it could not deliver anything special as just like every occasion Roman Reigns retained.
But the crowd was really hooked throughout the match and they enjoyed it a lot which is the most important part. Because of the lively crowd of the event, the whole show felt even better. But there was one issue and a major one, the whole event was totally predictable. We hope this issue changes soon in WWE.
Drew McIntyre who is also a former two times WWE Tag Team Champion recently spoke to the Dallas Morning News where he remembered his match against Roman Reigns at Clash at the Castle and talked about its amazing crowd. He said;
“I actually main evented, I was fighting for the title. And I was so happy to be proven right that we had such an amazing attendance. We took over Cardiff and the crowd themselves were electric all night and when I came out there, I was honestly thinking it would be like the Bret Hart-Bulldog match, SummerSlam ‘92 was probably, you know, 80-20%, 70-30% for the Bulldog when Bret was still popular even though it was Bulldog’s home turf… Roman [Reigns] is a popular character but to walk out there, hear that reaction for me and those chants for me – to hear the hatred for Roman.
“And Roman is somebody, you know, has been my No. 1 opponent since I returned to WWE, we have great chemistry together. The story that built toward the match was made to take out The Bloodline. You know, people were really ready and believed that the titles were going to change hands, which hasn’t happened in Roman’s entire two year title reign. So, it was an incredible night and incredible feeling.
“I don’t think I’ll ever hear a crowd as loud as that again, I don’t know if there’s been a crowd as loud as that in wrestling. It’d be very hard to find shows with a crowd, 62,000 people on their feet, reacting that way, especially for the near falls at the end. And I was really aware in the moment – embrace this, take it and remember it because one day when you’re retired on the rocking chair on the porch, you’re going to be thinking about this match.”
