edit

In April 2005, despite failing to make it as one of the final ten contestants on the$1,000,000 Tough Enough,Hankinson was signed to a contract byWorld Wrestling Entertainment(WWE) and was assigned to theDeep South Wrestling(DSW)developmental territory.

Hankinson wrestled in DSW asDorian "Deacon" Devillebefore changing his ring name toThe Freakin' Deacon.He adopted thegimmickof a deranged, facepaint-wearing wrestler who came to the ring with a pet spider named Willow, whom he sometimes spoke to.[5]He formed a partnership with executivePalmer Cannonand his posterior associateDalip Singh,helping Cannon to gain DSW's ownership and attack his enemies, but Palmer and Singh betrayed Deacon and stole his spider. He then formed an alliance with announcer and wrestlerBill DeMott,who was in afeudagainstThe Gymini.The team proved to be effective, 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 captured Willow and used it to blackmail Deacon into leaving, but he later got his pet back, regaining his freedom.[16]

Main roster debut (2006–2007)

edit

On May 29, 2006, Hankinson debuted onRawas an imposterKane.Wearing Kane's old mask and ring attire, hechokeslammedKane during his match againstShelton Benjaminfor theWWE Intercontinental Championship.Subsequently, Hankinson repeatedly attacked the real Kane during or after his matches. The pair finally faced off in a match at theVengeancepay-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 Imposter Kane, removed his mask, and threw him out of the building.

Hankinson returned to Deep South Wrestling, in addition to appearing atSmackDown!house shows.In August, he got involved in a storyline withThe Bag Lady,who acted as hisvaletandlove interest.Though he got often distracted by her, she helped him to win matches. In October, Deacon and Bag Lady formed an alliance withThe Major Brothers(BrianandBrett Major) against the team Urban Assault (Eric Perez,Sonny Siaki,Afa Anoa'i Jr.andG-Rilla), as their enforcer G-Rilla had clashed with Bag Lady earlier. In December 2006, Deacon defeated G-Rilla in a singles match, causing the rest of Urban Assault to turn on G-Rilla and beat him up.[16]Deacon then aided G-Rilla and formed a tag team with him, helping him to get revenge on Urban Assault. The pair also feuded with Team Elite (Derrick NeikirkandMike Knox) for theDSW Tag Team Championship.However, in March 2007 Deacon was beaten up with steel chairs by Neikirk and Knox and needed to be carried to the hospital by G-Rilla. There G-Rilla sat accidentally over Willow, which killed the spider and sent its owner into amental breakdown.[5]

Teaming with Jesse (2007–2009)

Hankinson as Festus in 2008

On the May 11, 2007, episode ofSmackDown!,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 talentRay Gordy.[17]On June 2, 2007, however, it was reported that WWE was dropping the "Dalton Boys" gimmick. The explanation for them not showing up onSmackDownwas that they got lost on their way to the arena. Hankinson and Gordy had actually been sent toOhio Valley Wrestling,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 ofSmackDown!,vignettes hypingJesse and Festusbegan to air. For weeks, Jesse was presented as the mouth-piece of the tandem, who was in awe of his tag team partner. Hankinson, however, played a character that wasmentally challengedand 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, episode ofSmackDown!,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 onSmackDown!with Jesse.[18]When the opening bell rang, Festus' personality changed into a very focused and angry competitor as compared to the mentally disabled character he had portrayed.[18]When the bell rang to signify the end of the match, Festus returned to his docile self.[18]On the December 21 episode ofSmackDown!,Festus defeatedDeucein a Santa Match, with both of them wearingSanta Clausoutfits.[19]On the January 25 episode ofSmackDown,Jesse explained the reason that they had not been on television was because Festus has been seeing doctors about his "problems".[20]

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 ofSmackDown,Jesse and Festus had a chance to faceJohn Morrison and The Mizfor theWWE Tag Team Championship,but Morrison and The Miz retained the title.[21]Festus received his first loss when he wrestled againstWorld Heavyweight ChampionThe Undertakeron the April 11 episode ofSmackDown,after passing out while in theHell's Gate.[22]

On April 15, 2009, Festus was drafted to the Raw brand as part of the2009 Supplemental Draftand, as a result, was separated from his tag team partner Jesse, who remained onSmackDown.[23]

After accompanyingCM Punkto the ring for his match withMatt Hardy,Punk revealed that Gallows was actually Festus' true identity and claimed that Gallows' family and friends enabled hisalcoholic inclination,which led to the mental state he was in as Festus, before stating that Gallows was cured due to Punk showing him thestraight edgelifestyle.[24]On the December 11 episode ofSmackDown,Gallows and Punk defeated Hardy andR-Truth,after Gallows pinned Hardy with his new finishing move, the "Twelfth Step".[25]On the January 8, 2010, episode ofSmackDown,Gallows defeated Hardy.[26]The next week, Gallows and Punk defeated Matt Hardy andThe Great Khali,The Hart Dynasty,andCryme Tymein a fatal four-way match to become the number one contenders for the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship.

On the February 8 episode ofRaw,The Straight Edge Society was eliminated in a Triple Threat elimination tag team match between them,The MizandBig ShowandDXfor the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship. Miz and Big Show became the new Unified WWE Tag Team Champions. AtWrestleMania XXVILuke Gallows competed in a dark 30-man battle royal, which was won byYoshi Tatsu.On the April 13 episode ofNXT,he challenged CM Punk's rookieDarren Youngand the stipulation, if Young lost, he would have had 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. AtExtreme Rules,during Punk's Hair match againstRey Mysterio,Gallows and Serena helped Punk throughout the match until they were banned from ringside.

On the July 2 tapings ofSmackDown,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 asJoey Mercuryduring the match. On the September 3 episode ofSmackDown,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 ofWWE Superstars,before a match withMVP,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 24 episode ofSmackDown,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.
