Gentleman Jack
Trending
Jack Gallagher is from my own hometown of Manchester, England, so it was great to see him debut on Raw this week. In the Cruiserweight division, there are plenty of wrestlers that are high flyers but stacked like they’ve modelled themselves on Ryback. The good thing about Jack is that he brings something completely different to the table.
He has funny trunks, a funny moustache and a funny accent (not to me, but to most), so he is outside the box in a way. Being quite stereotypically English also works in his favour, as he works this into his in ring performance and it’s this courteousness mixed with cockiness that creates his unique style.
His match with Daivari on Raw was an awesome showcase of some of the skills he has, such as backing out from a headlock on his hands. Pretty darn cool. It was a clever move from WWE, repeating a match from 205 Live because it was a continuation of the start of a rivalry from this show.
It gives the commentators an opportunity to drop the new show into conversation and also causes people to go back and watch it just to see what made Daivari so angry in the first place.
It’s good to see that the Cruiserweights are getting the same story development and character development as the main roster too. I look forward to seeing if Jack can make it to the top of the mountain.
