A physical and sometimes wild struggle considering the tonnage of both, punishments that would break a bone or at least leave him lying in bed for weeks. The fight was all he promised, they punished themselves until they were exhausted, but McIntyre could never apply his own Claymore Kick by MVP interference, Lashley’s manager, who with that role outside the ring was the key to his protégé’s victory.
