Luke Gallows is a professional-level wrestler from the United States of America. His real name is Drew Hankinson. Currently, the athlete performs in the organization WWE. He has won a lot of victories and losses. But the athlete is known throughout the world for his spectacular performances and cruel methods. Although the statistics of Hankinson's fights are not considered good in the wrestling world, many strong fighters fear and respect him. Quite often, his fights ended in shame and removal from the ring, but Drew Hankinson always came back with new strength and new tricks for a fierce struggle with his opponents.
The beginning of a wrestler's career
The first steps on the career ladder in WWE for Drew began with performances in the ring in the image of Festus. And much later, while participating in the SES gang, he began to beat the image of Luc Gallows. His teammates were SM Punk, Serena Dib and Joey Mercury. June 14, 2011 is a landmark date for Hankinson. On this day, he made his debut in the organization Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. Luke Gallows opposed Ganner and defeated him. A few months later he was invited to participate in the Indian promotion TNA RING Ka King. Here he fought under the nickname The Outlaw. In September 2012, he began his career at TNA. He was taken into a group called Aces and Eights, where he constantly performed in a mask. Gallows’s struggles were spectacular and intense, so he was asked to sign a contract with the TNA Federation. But in one of the fights, Parkes fighter ripped off his mask. After this incident, Luke Gallows tried to fight even more violently, but still lost several battles.
Continuation of the wrestler's career
In 2013, Luke left the TNA Federation and decided to sign a new contract with New Japan Pro Wrestling. Here he performed for three years. And in 2016, in January, he and his friend Karl Anderson were offered a new contract to participate in WWE. Together, they managed to defeat the Uso brothers. Over the next few months, they decided to help one mutual friend. It was AJ Jayles Styles, a former partner of Luke from the Bullet Club. Gallows and Anderson helped him in fights against the famous wrestlers Roman Raines and even John Cena. After some time, the comrades stopped the general training. RAW decided to offer several performances to a strong wrestler. It was Luke Gallows. The career of a fighter continued in this promotion. His companion Carl Anderson also participated in RAW.
Wins and losses
In 2016, during the SummerSlam, two strong wrestling friends, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows, fought against a team called New Day. They failed to win the titles, as they won the disqualification. But Luke and Karl did not stop there. They tried to win these titles several more times. But in the two fights on Clash of Champions and Raw, the New Day team still prevailed. After these unsuccessful attempts, fellow wrestlers fought with Enzo and Cass in 2016 at the Hell In A Cell. This time they managed to defeat the opponents. At the 2016 Survivor Series tournament, friends Carl and Luke were part of Raw. Their team defeated the Hype brothers. In addition, they prevailed over American Alpha. Unfortunately, their next performance was not so successful. The team of Karl and Luke was eliminated by Raino and Heath Slater.
A coveted but never-ending victory
During the Raw tournament at the end of November 2016, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson again struggled to win the team championship over New Day. The fight was very spectacular. A large number of fans cheered for the team of Luke and Karl. But New Day turned out to be stronger once again. It seemed that the wrestlers had to stop at this battle and abandon all their hopes of victory. But the comrades still had another fight on December 12, 2016. It was a tournament of the same Raw, and the match contained a triple threat, as it was attended by fierce rivals Seimus and Cesaro. And again, New Day prevailed over Luke and Karl. Friends did not manage to defeat this team. But they do not consider this loss something terrible for their career. Indeed, in wrestling, the main thing is a spectacle, not a victory.
