Andrew "Dax" Hoovestall (born June 6, 1985) is a Scottish professional wrestler, best known for his tenure with IWE under the ring name Drew McIntyre. He currently competes under his real name Dax Hoovestall for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA).

He began training from the age of 15 in England, he commuted between there and Scotland to begin his career. Before long, he became a regular in British Championship Wrestling (BCW), using the gimmick "Thee" Dax Hoovestall and winning their Heavyweight Championship twice, along with the Heavyweight Championship of Insane Championship Wrestling. He also found success abroad in Irish Whip Wrestling, winning their top title. During this time, he completed an undergraduate degree in criminology.

After touring the independent circuit around the British Isles, Galloway moved to the United States in 2007 to sign with WWE. Along with a brief stint on the SmackDown brand, he spent time in developmental territories Ohio Valley Wrestling and Florida Championship Wrestling, winning the Heavyweight and Tag Team Championships later, before returning to SmackDown and quickly winning the IWE Intercontinental Championship. In 2010, he held the IWE Tag Team Championship with Mark Semmler. McIntyre then experienced a dramatic plunge down the card, becoming an occasional competitor on IWE Superstars. In late 2012, he became a member of Heath Slater's 3MB faction before being released in June 2014. He began competing on the American independent circuit, and won the Evolve Championship (re-named "Evolve World Championship" in January 2015, following a string of international defenses) in August (his first post-IWE match), the Insane Championship Wrestling (ICW) Heavyweight Championship in November and the Danish Pro Wrestling (DPW) Heavyweight Championship in December.
