Doc Gallows spoke with Main Event Madness in a new interview
talking about his start in the business, his WWE and TNA runs,
The Bullet Club and more. Check out some highlights below:
On what got him into wrestling: “I first saw pro wrestling on
television when I was 8 years old, I saw Hulk Hogan and I was
obsessed ever since. I was a serious life long fan, from the
magazines, to the toys, to the posters, to dragging my dad all
over the place to take me to see pro wrestling, you know I knew
that’s not only what I want to do, but had to do, and I ended up
leaving a football scholarship to pursue it on my own. So I
kinda went back on a deal with my dad, once I finished, he would
pay for any wrestling school in the country but I offered to try
to do it on my own, and started traveling the independent
circuit when I was 18 years old, and I did that for about 3
years until I was eventually signed with WWE’s developmental
system.”
On working in TNA and his departure: “I went to Ring Ka King in
India and worked for Jeff Jarrett, as a biker character, and
then the opportunity came up to form Aces and Eights, and I took
the contract in TNA. Yea it was fun, TNA was fun, I was working
with a lot of my friends, a lot of really good guys, the new
contracts came up, and it was a business decision on my behalf,
and maybe on their behalf too, and I wasn’t sure where I’d land
up next. [Talking about Aces & Eights] Well Aces & Eights was
cluttered, it was a little under produced, and the creative
direction I guess was there at first, but then maybe there was
some internal stuff, and then there wasn’t as much creative
direction. All we could do was make the best of it and have a
good time, because you had some veterans mixed with some young
guys, and you just had to make the best of it. The coolest thing
I got to do was like you know, do stuff with guys I grew up on,
like wrestling sting on pay-per-view, and getting to do a couple
big beat downs on him, and doing some stuff with Hulk Hogan, and
that’s just cool stuff we did, because a few years before that i
never thought I’d ever do anything with Sting or Hulk Hogan, but
the opportunity came up, and it’s just one of those little
things for me personally that was a really good time, it was
like kinda coming full circle from being 10 and playing with
these guys’ figures on my bed, to being out there, trading
punches with them.”

Nice to read this tbh. A former TNA star talking good about TNA
and not trying to shoot on them like DVd and some of the other
former stars have done
