10 Incredible Links Between Wrestlers You'd Never Expect

10. Vince McMahon, Antonio Inoki & Luke Gallows

Luke Gallows has the too sweetest deal in all of wrestling; like a self-aware and intentionally funny Brutus 'The Barber' Beefcake, he knows he can secure steady work through his history with the Bullet Club.

He is doing precisely that in WWE at present - a couple of years removed from tagging with Kenny Omega and grabbing some ****1/2 match ratings in the process - through another onscreen association with AJ Styles. Except, with Styles out of action, Gallows is getting money for doing actually nothing in 2023.

This isn't strictly true - he has worked dark matches at TV tapings and spent a decent chunk of the year on the road - but he's yet to work in April, and it's hardly as if he's been wizzorking a sweat in Trenton, New Jersey.

Both Vince McMahon and Antonio Inoki, two promoters antithetical to one another, have each blasted Gallows for working the worst matches they have ever seen.

Think about that: Inoki, who valued legitimacy above all else, and McMahon, who outed wrestling as a sham in the public sphere just to save a few quid in 1987, are united by Gallows. NJPW still instructs its workers to keep kayfabe!

While Vince once forced Rhyno and Tajiri to stop working a house show match he found so boring that he couldn't bear to watch, Dax Harwood recently revealed that a Revival Vs. Good Brothers match was in fact the "worst match" Vince had ever seen.

Inoki meanwhile was so disgusted with Gallows' match with Sylvester Terkay for the Inoki Genome Federation in February 2011 - as sloppy and as slow a match as you will ever see - that he stormed the ring and called it off, screaming "Bullsh*t!" in fury.
