For this episode we had a lively conversation with Doc Gallows, as he prepares to appear with Machine Gun Karl Anderson at Major League Wrestling (MLW) & NJPW Presents CMLL FANTASTICA MANIA USA 2026, in Charleston on April 12th. Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/mlw-njpw-present-cmll-fantastica-mania-usa-fueled-by-don-gato-tequila-tickets-1980582936880?aff=oddtdtcreator
In this episode Doc shares career highlights — from his Tough Enough breakthrough and WWE runs (including Festus and the Straight Edge Society) to TNA’s Aces & Eights and the global explosion of the Bullet Club during his New Japan tenure.
We got behind-the-scenes stories and vivid anecdotes: the Venice Beach Tough Enough tryout, a wardrobe mishap on an obstacle course, the origin and meteoric rise of Bullet Club shirts, and memorable tours through Japan, Australia, Canada and the U.S. Doc also discusses life on the road as a touring pro, balancing family (his son is pursuing wrestling), promoting independent shows, and how he stays fit between flights and appearances.
The episode covers practical and local touches, too — Doc’s Charleston plans and some favorite Lowcountry spots, upcoming appearances (WrestleMania week and international tours), and where to follow his work: @the_big_LG and Machine Gun Karl Anderson’s handles. You will hear about the MLW Fusion return to television, the edgy MLW product to expect live, and Doc’s Talk'n Shop podcast with big guests like Finn Balor and Scarlett.
Whether you’re a longtime wrestling fan or curious about the touring life, this episode delivers history, humor, and inside access to one of wrestling’s most recognizable tag team veterans — plus event info for Charleston fans and a shoutout to The Refinery as a local venue resource.
