Doc Gallows is ready to saddle up with MLW.
Gallows spoke with WrestleZone Managing Editor Bill Pritchard ahead of the MLW x Don Gato live special on November 20. Gallows and Karl Anderson, the Good Brothers, will challenge Bishop Dyer and Donovan Dijak for the MLW World Tag Team titles on a show co-promoted by Don Gato, the tequila brand owned by actor Danny McBride. “Big LG” shared what makes this the perfect opportunity for the Good Brothers to make their MLW debut, calling it a “beautiful mixture.”
“It’s a great place for us to debut. I think that it’s a loaded show, $15 tickets available, which in today’s wrestling market is unbelievable in itself. The Skyscrapers, Donovan Dijak, Bishop Dyer, two huge athletic men that have something we want and that’s more world tag team titles for our mantels, so it’s a beautiful mixture,” Gallows said. “I don’t see Danny McBride doing anything that’s going to fail. I think his history speaks for itself. It’s a cool collaboration. I’m excited about it. We did some fun Don Gato promos to build this thing up and it’s definitely going to be definitely going to be a good time in Charleston.”
Doc Gallows compares pro wrestling to a circus
Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson have been together for more than a decade, with their time together spanning Japan, TNA/IMPACT and WWE. Now that they are free agents, Gallows said they are excited to make their own schedules and boost their profile again. The Good Brothers have worked for the NWA, The Crash Lucha Libre in Mexico, and have gone around the world, and they are just as hungry as they were when they first got into the wrestling business.
“I look at wrestling like the circus. If you don’t like what’s over here, look over there. And there’s kind of something for everybody. It’s a wrestling variety show. I think that’s what’s cool about it, the wrestling scene is like that now. NWA is unique and different and it sits here, and then MLW is unique and different and it sits here. Then there’s this bustling European scene that’s come back to life since the NXT UK stuff went away. Now those guys are breaking out again,” he explained.
“It’s all stuff that we’re looking forward to doing because there’s nothing mundane out there right now. Everything is different. Whether you’re doing some crazy independent show in a small town with a packed house or you’re showing up on MLW for the first time with the Don Gato Tequila guys there, it’s a wild scene, the Wild West again. I really am loving that we’re not tied to any horse. We’re not WWE affiliated, we’re not TNA affiliated. We’re not New Japan Pro-Wrestling affiliated, we’re not AEW affiliated. We are just the Good Brothers. We’re on tour and can literally show up anywhere. I think that that’s really fun.”
The Good Brothers are out to prove they are stronger than ever
At this stage of his career, Gallows wants to continue building the Good Brothers brand. The duo took their famed Talk’n Shop podcast live for the first time last month, which presented a fun, new challenge. He says things like that excite him, noting how the “Wild West” comparison is a very fitting analogy for the state of the business.
“We had different times where outside of the WWE bubble, for example, we were really red hot and over, and there were things that you wish you would have stuck with,” Gallows said. “It’s fun to just have these new, different challenges and endeavors. Karl and I, we’re best buddies. We’re business partners outside of wrestling and inside of wrestling, so it’s just continuing this journey.
“You get a chip on your shoulder, and we want we want to show people, like when the management changed in WWE, no hard feelings there, but they missed out too,” he continued. “I want to show the world that the boys are stronger than ever. We’re reinventing again. There’s no challenge too big or too small. It’s fun to be, I keep calling it the Wild West, but that’s what it feels like because everywhere we show up is somewhere different and it’s something different and it’s a new set of really cool things.”
