8 Things We Learned From Luke Gallows And Karl Anderson On Talk Is Jericho
6. Gallows Was Stranded In Nigeria (Twice)
Gallows goes on to tell the infamous story of how he got stranded after agreeing to go over to Nigeria to wrestle. To start off, I can't recommend listening to the podcast to hear Gallows himself tell the story, as there is so much that happened that it is difficult to do justice to in writing. Even so, here are the major points.
Gallows went over to wrestle in Nigeria, but little did he know he would be wrestling for a guy with links to the Nigerian military. They wanted blood, but luckily in the professional wrestling sense. Somehow this led to Gallows becoming the booker and returning once again, only this time he had Cliff Compton (WWE's Domino) in tow.
The wrestling was a shambles, but on the day of departure Gallows was informed that he would have to go off with the Great Power Uti to wrestle for the military General. Yikes. Again, the whole thing is a mess and there is blood everywhere, but somehow they get it done.
Uti shafts them with plane tickets, so Gallows pays out of his own pocket to fly back to Lagos, before having to pay once again for their tickets back to the US. Obviously, obviously, obviously there is a heck of a lot more to it, but that is the gist.
The fact that there are two other stories along similar signs shows just how nuts Luke Gallows is.
