From the moment that Drew Gulak stepped into a WWE ring for the Cruiserweight Classic in 2016, the submission master made it his goal to make a mark on the company in some way.

Although he was unable to win the tournament, WWE saw potential in Gulak and signed him to the new 205 Live brand and eventually worked his way up to the main roster.

Fresh off the independent scene, Gulak came to show the world the kind of wrestling he loved the most after seeking to leave a mark on the industry he has been part of for over 15 years in some form. He has been able to combine his submission-based style that many of the WWE Universe may not have been too familiar with and an ability to adapt to the entertainment requirements of such a global company.

Drew Gulak has given us some memorable moments during his run in the company. Whether it was giving PowerPoint presentations, dressing up as a turkey for Thanksgiving or putting on amazing technical matches, you would never know what to expect from Drew Gulak...

10. Drew Gulak Vs. Tony Nese

During the 2016 Cruiserweight Classic Tournament, the instant friendship between Drew Gulak and Tony Nese was obvious. Although different in style and stature, the two formed a bond based on a mutual desire for success and the disregard for the pandering styles of their competitors.

However, with a shot at the vacant title at stake in February 2018, General Manager Drake Maverick challenged the two put their friendship aside in this bout. This was not as difficult as expected due to the nature of their relationship in the previous months.

Yet nobody expected the level of ferociousness from the match that we saw.

After Nese kicked away Gulak’s peace offering, the match became a mixture of both men’s style with hard-hitting strikes, targetting body parts, and strength. In the end, it took a clothesline and Dragon Sleeper to pick up the win for Gulak over the nearly unconscious Nese and allow him to advance to the next round.

As well as being a match to remember, it was also the start of the dwindling friendship between the two and a feud that would remain for almost the next two years.
