5 hidden gem Drew McIntyre matches you may not have seen

#4 - vs Aleister Black - ICW - April 26th 2015

Before he was Black Massing peoples heads off in WWE on a weekly basis, Aleister Black was a regular across the UK scene under the name of Tommy End.

One of the places he made his home was Scotland's ICW, where he was a former Tag Team Champion, as part of the Sumerian Death Squad alongside Michael Dante.

It was also here in ICW that he got the chance to square off with Drew McIntyre one-one-one, during the company's 2015 tour of England.

McIntyre was in the midst of what would be a year-long run as ICW World Champion. His match with Black in Sheffield would represent his 13th defence of that title.

This encounter featured all the characteristics of a typical ICW match around that time, which included both men brawling all the way from the ring towards the bar.

What we also saw was a completely different style of matchup from Black compared to what we are used to seeing from him in WWE.

He spent the majority of the match targeting the legs of McIntyre, going several times for a Single Legged Boston Crab to try and minimise the impact of the champion's larger frame.

In the end, it took not just one, but two Futureshock DDT's to put Black away, highlighting the threat he had posed to McIntyre's title reign.
