Luke Gallows recently spoke with FOX Sports to promote WrestleMania 33. Here are the highlights.
On Southpaw Regional Wrestling:
“Southpaw Regional Wrestling is a concept of this … basically 1980s southern regional wrestling promotion or territory, and it’s a lot of stuff that the guys have been doing for years backstage to entertain each other. I know my character in particular has been an ongoing thing for the better part of a decade. It was really us getting to kind of take the gloves off and use our… comedic style, if there is one. You’ll get the chance to judge for yourself, but you’ll see a lot of people step outside of the realm of what you’ve seen them do, character-wise, and as in-ring performers as a part of WWE. So it’s kind of a chance for everybody to let their hair down. I didn’t get to because I don’t have any, but everybody else. And we had a blast doing it, man. That thing drops tomorrow. I just watched the teaser myself, I was trying to get them to shoot me a link but they won’t do it.”
On his second run with WWE being more enjoyable than the first:
“I think I matured as a performer during my time in Japan, with Karl Anderson, and we kind of found our niche with The Club stuff over in Japan. And then bringing it here to WWE with AJ Styles and Finn Balor. So that faction grew and the fans accepted it and they dug it, they were into what we were doing. It kind of got everybody over, and pushed us into or back into the WWE spotlight. I know all four of us have certainly been enjoying the ride, and there’s a lot more untapped potential there, so the sky’s the limit. We’re all looking forward to our WrestleMania moments come Orlando at the beginning of April.”
