I do think its being a little too scorched earth since it wasn't like Drew Gulak's and Gallagher's gimmicks were bad

Gallagher has been very bad as a heel. His face gentleman gimmick was very cool and good, though.

his indie persona was more or less just a less campy version of the same face gimmick, right? I mean I saw him at that weird PROGRESS NYC show and that's more or less how he worked, less umbrella flops and more headbutts but still all Gentlemanly

Yeah, and if the replacement gimmick for Gulak is "guy in a shirt who looks serious and doesn't talk" it's a huge waste.

I never saw him in the indies, but that's what I gather, yeah. His gentlemanly shtick was very unique and very charismatic as a face, but it lost all of his charm when he INEXPLICABLY became Brian Kendrick's buddy.

Except for the goofy spot where he got all Bambi-legged on the ropes and a tournament really isn't the time or the place.

He would incorporate his disgust/fear of "high flying" spots and it was usually pretty entertaining.

Now he's just... some generic looking guy growling and grimacing.

the only thing keeping drew gulak from being an unstoppable killing machine is when he's allowed to do silly gimmicks, that's the plan going forward.
