10 Candidates For WWE’s Next Bizarre Push

5. Luke Gallows

Luke Gallows is very tall.

This should see him receive the usual, almost automatic push when his Club tandem with Karl Anderson eventually disbands which, really, is the best thing for them at this point; another victim of WWE-style Flanderisation, the company has identified his easygoing wit and made unnecessarily hard work of it by scripting the man to perform in broad comedy segments broadcast for an audience of one: Vince McMahon, damn*t!

If WWE goes the stereotypical big lad killer route with Gallows, fulfilling the second love of McMahon's life, this would resemble a vast improvement. At present, WWE sees little in the large Gallows. But then, they saw little in Darren Young and, apologies for using this point of reference, since it is bullsh*t, but imagine being the Marty Jannetty of a tag team also comprised of Titus O'Neil. That was the fate encountered by Prime Time Player Young, who WWE still thought they could make great for the first time a couple of years ago.

Perhaps Gallows' Diesel-esque gear might trigger something in a man obsessed with reliving his past mistakes.
