Gallows is so great that you can literally turn him into a brain damaged hillbilly and he'll still shine through with his talent. One of my favorite big guy wrestlers in the world,

Oh, I forgott he was really the fake Kane. Here's a footage:

Really puzzled why the board soured on him. I think his SES run kinda did him in. He went from an entertaining (if limited) character who got to wreck shit, to just being Punk's one-dimensional silent muscle. That and the guy is a pretty funny, charismatic dude and the utilized none of that. He's great at being the heel you want to just see bitch slapped.

He's ok. Works best as a tag team guy with somebody like Punk or Machine Gun to work off of.

I think it's fitting he was the fake Kane, since he's another talented big man who'll take any crap they throw at him and try to make it work. Hope he can end up even half as successful. Hell just look at Festus, a mentally challenged wrestler, he was basically a more extreme Eugene, but he got that over and somehow doesn't have the backlash that Eugene has afterwards. Eugene never had Biscuits and Gravy.

I enjoyed his run as Gallows, no matter how short it was. It's a shame they never had him interact with "Slam Master J".
Also, the thing that really annoyed me was that instead of having him just be pissed at Punk being a bad leader, they have him be all "I'M GONNA HAVE A BEER AFTER I BEAT YOU UP!" Like, dude, you're just proving Punk right.

I guess Japanese biscuits and gravy made him a man.
Wait do they even have that over there?

Festus was a fantastic gimmick, and he played it perfectly. Dude's an underrated worker. This sums up everything that needs to be said

He had a hell of a match with The Undertaker back in 2008. On paper, main eventer v comedy tag team guy would never be booked that good 99 times out of a 100, but it was damn good and put over Festus massive. That is one of my favourites matchs of all time,i marked so much for it. not sure if I can post a link to it probaly not,so if anyone has a way to see it,go see it,it is amazing.A perfect example of how to put someone over,props to Taker too.

Give him back his theme before he left and i am all good. The Tom Waits hip hop track? They actually gave that to Paul Wight as entrance music in 2K16 lol.

That's because it was his theme before it was Gallows'. Actually started as the theme for St Valentine's Massacre, just with the "Will you be my Valentine?" flipped around. And then sounding like "Luke, you just shat on me"/"Hey, did he slap my mule?" I think Nicole Bass used it too?

All I'm seeing is a Lord Tensai situation out of this. They tried to rebook the guy but he ended up a joke.
