While appearing on WWE Network show 'Table For 3' a few years ago, McIntyre revealed that he was actually going for a Big Boot finisher at the time. This was during his time in 3MB, where he was wearing tight leather trousers that were so tight that he was unable to get his legs his enough and fell over while delivering the move.

It was during a live match on RAW where he looked to deliver the move to Ryback back in 2013. He recalled that this was where the Claymore Kick originated and he's since been able to perfect it.
