Luke Gallows Comments on Regretting Leaving NJPW for WWE

A recent episode of the Tama’s Island podcast with host Tama Tonga had Luke Gallows as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Gallows regretting leaving New Japan Pro Wrestling with Karl Anderson and AJ Styles for WWE in 2016.

“It left a hole in our hearts too and then, not to cut you off but we’re sitting there in some hotel at 2 in the morning, with two bottles of fcking $7 wine and we’re just going, ‘God damn it. What the fck. Why?’ ‘It was for the money.’ I know, but fck. There were a lot of nights of that and you know what? You gotta eat that. You gotta live that because you made the decision. You made the fcking decision but we had so many of those nights and I, who it’s publicly noted, I’ve made a lot of bad decisions and I washed a lot of it down with bad sh*t and bad women, and I didn’t do good for a couple years with all that and it is what it is man. It sucked. I hated it and I thought we were — I can’t say the word I wanna say. I thought we were sellouts, I’ll say that.”
