| − | ====Deep South Wrestling (2005–2007)==== |
||
| − | In April 2005, despite failing to make it as one of the final ten contestants on the $1,000,000 Tough Enough, he was signed to a contract by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and was assigned to the Deep South Wrestling (DSW) developmental territory. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hankinson wrestled in DSW as Deacon Deville before changing his ring name to The Freakin' Deacon, adopting the gimmick of a deranged, facepaint-wearing wrestler who came to the ring with a pet spider named Willow and sometimes spoke to it.<ref name="OWOW">{{cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/profiles/l/luke-gallows.html|title=Festus Profile|accessdate=2008-10-18|publisher=Online World of Wrestling}}</ref> He formed a partnership with Palmer Cannon and his posterior associate Dalip Singh, helping Cannon to gain DSW's ownership and attack his enemies, but Palmer and Singh ended betraying Deacon and stealing his spider. He then formed an alliance with announcer and wrestler Bill DeMott, who was in a feud against The Gymini. The team proved to be stable, but Deacon abandoned DeMott during a match, causing him to be beaten down until other wrestlers made the save. It was later revealed that Quintin Michaels had got Willow and used it to blackmail Deacon, but he later got his pet back, regaining his freedom.<ref name="DSW">{{cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/deepsouth/2006.html|title=Deep South Wrestling Results 2006|accessdate=2016-01-25|publisher=Online World of Wrestling}}</ref> |

| − | On May 29, 2006, Hankinson debuted on ''Raw'' as an impostor Kane; wearing Kane's old mask and ring attire, he chokeslammed Kane during his match against Shelton Benjamin for the Intercontinental Championship. Subsequently, Hankinson would repeatedly attack the real Kane during or after his matches. The pair finally faced off in a match at the Vengeance pay-per-view, with Hankinson winning using one of Kane's trademark moves. One night later, however, the storyline was abruptly ended when the original Kane attacked the Impostor Kane, removed his mask, and threw him out of the building. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hankinson returned to Deep South Wrestling, in addition to appearing at ''SmackDown!'' house shows. In August, he got involved in a storyline with The Bag Lady, who acted as his valet and love interest. Though he often was distracted by her, she often helped him to win matches. In October, Deacon and Bag Lady formed an alliance with The Major Brothers (Brian and Brett) against the team Urban Assault (Eric Perez, Sonny Siaki, Afa Jr. and G-Rilla), as their enforcer G-Rilla had clashed with Bag Lady. In December 2006, Deacon defeated G-Rilla in a singles match, causing the rest of Urban Assault to turn on him and beat him up.<ref name="DSW" /> Deacon then aided G-Rilla and formed a tag team with him, helping him to get revenge on Urban Assault and later feuding with Team Elite (Derrick Neikirk and Mike Knox) for the DSW Tag Team Championship. However, in March 2007 Deacon was beaten up with steel chairs by Neikirk and Knox, needing to be carried to the hospital by G-Rilla. There G-Rilla sat accidentally over Willow, killing the spider and sending its owner to a mental breakdown.<ref name="OWOW" /> |

| − | ====Teaming with Jesse (2007–2009)==== |
||
| − | On the May 11, 2007, episode of ''SmackDown!'', a vignette aired suggesting that Hankinson would be repackaged as "Festus Dalton" as part of a tag team using a Southern gimmick, alongside fellow WWE developmental talent Ray Gordy.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/archive/05112007/|title=In with the new|date=2007-05-11|last=Starr|first=Noah|accessdate=2008-10-18|publisher=[[WWE|World Wrestling Entertainment]]}}</ref> On June 2, 2007, however, it was reported that WWE was dropping the "Dalton Boys" gimmick. The explanation for them not showing up on ''SmackDown'' was that they got lost on their way to the arena. Hankinson and Gordy had actually been sent back to OVW, where Hankinson changed his name to "Justice Dalton". |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hankinson was then renamed "Festus" while Gordy was dubbed "Jesse", and on the June 29, 2007 episode of ''SmackDown!'', vignettes hyping Jesse and Festus began to air. For weeks, Jesse would be presented as the mouth-piece of the tandem, who was in awe of his tag team partner. Hankinson, however, played a character that was mentally challenged and unresponsive. In spite of Festus' dimwitted nature, Jesse kept claiming that Festus was an emotionally driven and physically unstoppable giant. On the September 7, 2007 edition of ''SmackDown!'', there was a segment featuring Jesse and Festus now actually in the arena rather than in a studio. On October 5, Hankinson won his debut match on ''SmackDown!'' with Jesse.<ref name="firstmatch">{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/archive/10052007/|title=Locked in|date=2007-10-05|last=Dee|first=Louie|accessdate=2008-10-18|publisher=WWE}}</ref> When the opening bell rang, Festus' personality changed into a very focused and angry competitor as compared to the mentally challenged character he had portrayed.<ref name="firstmatch" /> When the bell rang to signify the end of the match, Festus returned to his docile self.<ref name="firstmatch" /> On the December 21 episode of ''SmackDown!'', Festus defeated Deuce in a Santa Match, with both of them wearing Santa Claus outfits.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/archive/12212007/|title=Saint Nick slugfest|date=2007-12-21|author=Lennie DiFino|accessdate=2009-01-09|publisher=[[WWE|World Wrestling Entertainment]]}}</ref> On the January 25 episode of ''SmackDown!'', Jesse explained the reason that they had not been on television was because Festus has been seeing doctors about his "problems".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/archive/01252008/|title=On their way to Madison Square Garden|date=2008-01-25|last=Passero|first=Mitch|accessdate=2008-10-18|publisher=[[WWE|World Wrestling Entertainment]]}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | In 2008, before the bell rang, Jesse explained that Festus had changed. However, Festus did not change and continued to make a determined and monstrous face after the bell had rung. On the March 21 episode of ''SmackDown'', Jesse and Festus had a chance to face John Morrison and The Miz for the Tag Team Championship, although Morrison and The Miz retained their titles.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/archive/03212008/|title=Full Moon Con-Chair-To|date=2008-03-21|last=Passero|first=Mitch|accessdate=2008-10-18|publisher=[[WWE|World Wrestling Entertainment]]}}</ref> Festus received his first loss when he wrestled against World Heavyweight Champion The Undertaker on the April 11 episode of ''SmackDown!'', after passing out while in the ''Hell's Gate''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/archive/04112008/|title=Peace, Coldslop and The Deadman's way|date=2008-04-11|last=Passero|first=Mitch|accessdate=2008-10-18|publisher=[[WWE|World Wrestling Entertainment]]}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | On April 15, 2009, Festus was drafted to the Raw brand as part of the 2009 Supplemental Draft and, as a result, was separated from his tag team partner Jesse, who remained on ''SmackDown''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/2009draft/2009supplementaldraftresults/|title=2009 WWE Supplemental Draft results|date=2009-04-15|accessdate= 2009-04-15|publisher=[[WWE|World Wrestling Entertainment]]}}</ref> |

| − | ====The Straight Edge Society (2009–2010)==== |
||
| − | After a three-month hiatus from television, Hankinson returned on the November 27, 2009 edition of ''SmackDown!'', repackaged as a villain under the name "Luke Gallows", sporting a new attire with a goatee, shaved head, and having lost a considerable amount of weight. After accompanying CM Punk to the ring for his match with Matt Hardy, Punk revealed that Gallows was actually Festus' true identity and claimed that Gallows' family and friends enabled his alcoholic inclination, which led to the mental state he was in as Festus, before stating that Gallows was cured due to Punk showing him the straight edge lifestyle.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/superstars/smackdown/lukegallows/bio/|title=WWE Bio|accessdate=2009-11-27|publisher=[[WWE|World Wrestling Entertainment]]|archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20100208224929/http://www.wwe.com/superstars/smackdown/lukegallows/bio/|archivedate=February 8, 2010}}</ref> On the December 11 episode of ''SmackDown!'', Gallows made his re-debut as he and Punk defeated Hardy and R-Truth, after Gallows pinned Hardy with his new finishing move, the ''Twelfth Step''.<ref name="Redebut" /> On the January 8, 2010 episode of ''SmackDown'', Gallows defeated Hardy in his re-debut singles match.<ref name="Singles">{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/archive/01082010/mainarticle|title=Stunned contenders|date=2010-01-08|accessdate=2012-08-11|publisher=[[WWE]]}}</ref> The next week, Gallows and Punk defeated Matt Hardy and The Great Khali, The Hart Dynasty, and Cryme Tyme in a fatal four-way match to become the number one contenders for the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship. |
||
| − | |||
| − | On the February 10, 2010 episode of ''Raw'', The Straight Edge Society was eliminated in a Triple Threat Elimination Tag Match between them, The Miz and The Big Show and DX for the Unified Tag Team Championship. The Miz and The Big Show became the new Unified Tag Team Champions. At WrestleMania XXVI Luke Gallows competed in a dark 30-man battle royal to open Wrestlemania which was won by Yoshi Tatsu. On the April 13 episode of ''WWE NXT'', he challenged CM Punk's rookie Darren Young and the stipulation, if Young loses, he will have to surrender his hair to Punk and have it shaved bald. Gallows came close to getting the victory when Young came up with a roll-up and saved his hair, with Punk showing some favor to his rookie and Gallows seeming unhappy. At Extreme Rules, during Punk's Hair match against Rey Mysterio, Gallows and Serena helped Punk throughout the match until they were banned from ringside. |
||
| − | |||
| − | On the July 2 tapings of ''SmackDown'', after a match between Luke Gallows and Kane, a security video was shown by Serena of her being caught drinking in a bar by Punk on the same day of The Undertaker's attack proving The Straight Edge Society's innocence in order to save Punk. Serena begged for forgiveness even after Punk warned her not to, but the Straight Edge Society simply left without her. The following week, however, Serena was forgiven by Punk for her actions, as they embraced, but Gallows did not approve. The following week Gallows was set to fight Big Show but gave the match to the SES Masked Man, who was unmasked as Joey Mercury during the match. On the September 3 episode of ''SmackDown'', Gallows and Punk faced The Big Show in a two-on-one handicap match, which Gallows and Punk lost. After the match Punk delivered the GTS on Gallows. |
||
| − | |||
| − | On the September 16 episode of ''WWE Superstars'', before a match with MVP, Gallows cut a promo announcing that he was no longer part of the Society by proclaiming he was his own man. Gallows went on to lose the match. On the September 21 taping of ''SmackDown'', Gallows began a slow face turn when he confronted CM Punk in a backstage segment stating that after defeating him, he would have a beer, but lost a match to Punk later in the night. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Gallows, now officially established as a face, defeated [[Lance Archer|Vance Archer]] on the November 4 airing of ''Superstars''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/wwesuperstars/results/16183236/|title=Soaring to new heights|publisher=[[WWE|World Wrestling Entertainment]]|first=Ryan|last=Murphy|date=November 4, 2010|accessdate=November 4, 2010}}</ref> His final TV appearance was during a backstage segment in which Kane was looking for his father, on the November 19, episode of ''SmackDown''.

New Japan Pro Wrestling (2013–2016)
On November 11, 2013, New Japan Pro Wrestling announced Hankinson as a participant in the 2013 World Tag League, where he would be teaming with Karl Anderson as part of Bullet Club.[1] Gallows made his New Japan debut on November 23, when he and Anderson defeated BUSHI and Kota Ibushi in a non-tournament match, with Gallows pinning Bushi for the win.[6] In the round-robin portion of the tournament, which ran from November 24 to December 7, Gallows and Anderson finished with a record of four wins and two losses, winning their block and advancing to the semifinals.[7][8] On December 8, Gallows and Anderson first defeated G.B.H. (Togi Makabe and Tomoaki Honma) in the semifinals and then Tencozy (Hiroyoshi Tenzan and Satoshi Kojima) in the finals to win the 2013 World Tag League and earn a shot at the IWGP Tag Team Championship.[9][10] Gallows returned to New Japan on January 4, 2014, at Wrestle Kingdom 8 in Tokyo Dome, where he and Anderson defeated K.E.S. (Davey Boy Smith Jr. and Lance Archer) to become the new IWGP Tag Team Champions.[11][12]
Gallows and Anderson made their first successful title defense on February 9 at The New Beginning in Hiroshima, defeating K.E.S. in a rematch.[13][14] Their second defense took place on April 6 at Invasion Attack 2014, where they defeated Hirooki Goto and Katsuyori Shibata.[15][16] Gallows and Anderson's third successful defense took place just seven days later, during New Japan's trip to Taiwan, when they defeated Hirooki Goto and Captain Taiwan.[17] On May 17, Gallows and Anderson made their fourth successful title defense against The Briscoes (Jay and Mark) at a NJPW and Ring of Honor (ROH) co-produced event, War of the Worlds, in New York City.[18] On June 21 at Dominion 6.21, Gallows and Anderson made their fifth successful defense against Ace to King (Hiroshi Tanahashi and Togi Makabe).[19][20] From July 21 to August 8, Gallows took part in the 2014 G1 Climax, where he finished ninth out of the eleven wrestlers in his block with a record of four wins and six losses.[21][22] On September 21 at Destruction in Kobe, Gallows and Anderson made their sixth successful title defense against Kazuchika Okada and Yoshi-Hashi.[23][24] In December, Gallows and Anderson made it to the finals of the 2014 World Tag League, after winning their block with a record of five wins and two losses.[25] On December 7, Gallows and Anderson were defeated in the finals of the tournament by Hirooki Goto and Katsuyori Shibata.[26] Gallows and Anderson's year-long reign as the IWGP Tag Team Champions came to an end on January 4, 2015, at Wrestle Kingdom 9 in Tokyo Dome, where they were defeated by Goto and Shibata.[27][28]
Gallows and Anderson regained the title from Goto and Shibata on February 11 at The New Beginning in Osaka.[29][30] They lost the title to The Kingdom (Matt Taven and Michael Bennett) on April 5 at Invasion Attack 2015.[31][32] They regained the title from The Kingdom on July 5 at Dominion 7.5 in Osaka-jo Hall.[33][34] From July 20 to August 14, Gallows took part in the 2015 G1 Climax,[35] where he finished last in his block with a record of three wins and six losses.[36] On January 4, 2016, at Wrestle Kingdom 10 in Tokyo Dome, Gallows and Anderson lost the IWGP Tag Team Championship to Togi Makabe and Tomoaki Honma.[37] Hours after the event, it was reported that both Gallows and Anderson had given their notice to NJPW on the morning of January 4, announcing that they were leaving the promotion for WWE.[38][39] TNA later claimed that Gallows had agreed to return to the promotion, along with Anderson and AJ Styles, before the trio broke off communication with TNA over the Christmas holiday.[40] Though not under contract,[41] Gallows was expected to honor previously booked dates through February.[38] On February 14 at The New Beginning in Niigata, Gallows and Anderson received a rematch for the IWGP Tag Team Championship, but were again defeated by Makabe and Honma.[42] On February 20, Gallows and Anderson wrestled their final NJPW match, where they teamed with Bullet Club stablemates Bad Luck Fale and Tama Tonga, losing to Bobby Fish, Hirooki Goto, Katsuyori Shibata, and Kyle O'Reilly in an eight-man tag team match.[43]
