"he says he hates me. i think he loves me. he's definitely obsessed with me."

Omg i didn't know you were scottish, did you expect to like drew in the past? It must be funny to you

I mean, I've always liked Drew - Scotland is a small country so we're always very excited when one of our own succeeds. By the time I got back into wrestling, he was home in ICW which I kept tabs on then, and I've followed him since from his return to NXT then to the main roster. However, he was never one of my special guys...

..until he started feuding with Punk! In the beginning, it was kinda like living vicariously through Drew lol but over time he's really burrowed his way into my brain. No denying he's a very bonnie specimen and looks incredible in a pair of trunks! I'm not sure what changed exactly but this feud and this pairing has just ignited something in me like a stick of dynamite!

Maybe it's because Drew is so unapologetically Scottish. He wears a kilt, has tartan on his gear, bagpipes blare out for his entrance and a lot of what he says and does are little nods or in-jokes for Scots, especially Scottish football fans (I come from a football-daft family). This whole feud has such a Scottish flavour to it, and it's so surreal for me because... IT'S CM FUCKING PUNK!!! The guy I have been obsessed with for over nine years and is so far removed from my world that he's practically fictional to me!

But he's out there wearing Scottish-inspired suits (according to my conspiracy theory), he's pronouncing Glasgow horribly and THEN he's in Glasgow, the exact same city at the exact same time as me, like I'm breathing the same bloody air as him and it's utterly mind-blowing! He was in the Celtic shop that I passed that very morning, he's taking photos of street art that I have also taken photos of. He visited the goddamn Necropolis - and look here's me, four years ago, in the Necropolis, in my goddamn CM Punk hoodie!!!!

It's sooooo surreal and wonderful!

Going to Smackdown in Glasgow was also a turning point for my love of Drew. He was our go-home dark match and it was my highlight of the night! Seeing him in his blue gear, waving the St Andrew's flag, talking about taking WWE to Murrayfield one day (MY BELOVED MURRAYFIELD!!! Ngl I welled up at that!). It cemented his place in my heart and once the show was over I went and bought his shirt. Now I even have a Punkintyre-inspired outfit (Drew T-shirt, Punk hoodie.... so I think that means Punk's topping???)

Anyway, sorry, this got loooooong! So yes, it is funny to me! And awesome! And I love it! And I never, ever want it to end and I'll be devastated when it does! And I also find it funny when fanfic writers mention his strong Scottish accent because he has such an American twang. He did get a lot broader while he was home though. Anyway...

I’m gonna declare myself as THE artist of punk as the dominant one in the punkintyre dynamic

Yes. I’ve been inspired to draw something because of Monday.
