Background

Inspired by Bruce Lee and Dragonball Z, Claffey started training taekwondo at a young age and continued it until the age of 16, in favor of previously overlapping professional wrestling practises. [5] Around the age of 20, Claffey picked up catch wrestling and Brazilian jiu-jitsu in order to supplement his pro wrestling skills, which in turn piqued his interest in mixed martial arts. [5]

Professional wrestling career

Training and early career

Claffey was trained by Alex Shane and the Futureshock staff. [3] He made his professional wrestling debut at the age of 16 on 4 November 2006 at Futureshock #11, under the ring name Jack Toxic, teaming up with Alex Cyanide, Danny Hope, and Kris Travis. They defeated El Ligero, Charity, Faith, and Jamal Lewis. He also trained in grappling, a catch wrestling style, at The Snake Pit in Wigan, Greater Manchester. He received further training from Snake Pit alumnus Billy Robinson in the United States. [4]

In the beginning of 2007, Toxic and Cyanide teamed up and eventually became Lethal Dose. [6] They became a regular attraction at Futureshock, appearing on many shows. [6] The team would have their first title shot at Grand Pro Wrestling's That's Entertainment when they took on WKD for the GPW Tag Team Championship. The team traveled to Real Deal Wrestling and, in February and April had two chances to become the RDW Tag Team Champions, but lost both times. [6] They then went to Hull to wrestle for New Generation Wrestling where they won all their matches. [6] With this run of success, they returned to Futureshock at Futureshock #27 and defeated three other teams to become the first FSW Tag Team Champions. [6] However, they lost the titles to The Doogooders at Futureshock #29. [6] They returned to GPW at Livin' On The Edge to take part in a number one contendership four-way elimination match and lost. [6] For the rest of 2009, they continued to team up but found little championship success and split up.

Claffey, performing as Jack Toxic, made his singles debut at Grand Pro Wrestling West Park Fun Day and lost to Scarlett Web. [7] Between March and April, Toxic tried to qualify for the Crazy Cruiser 8 2008 but failed multiple times; however, he won the Last Chance Saloon battle royal and therefore qualified for the tournament. On 2 May, he lost to El Ligero in the quarter-finals. [8] At Justice For All, he defeated Bubblegum in a rumble qualifying match but was eliminated from the rumble. At Guts & Glory, he returned under the name Jack Gallagher to compete in a four way scrabble match for the GPW British Championship and lost.

He held the championship until Do Or Die, in December, where he lost it to Ste Mann. Gallagher introduced his own belt, but lost it to Ste Mann, [10] and took a 12-month break from Grand Pro.

Gallagher made his Grand Pro return at the 2013 Crazy Cruiser 8 where he defeated Bubblegum in the quarter-finals before being pinned by eventual winner El Ligero in the semi-finals. At the start of 2014, Gallagher was defeated by CJ Banks at "Back With A Bang", the beginning of a rivalry.

Gallagher returned at Friday Night Thriller 9, participated in some more matches, and had his final appearance at the Dom Travis Memorial show, "A Night To Remember" when he defeated former tag team partner Cyanide.

[37] The two sides went on to trade victories over the next few weeks. On 19 December episode of 205 Live, Gallagher and Gulak were defeated by Kendrick and Tozawa in a Street Fight to end the feud. [38] Starting in February 2019, Gallagher and Gulak attempted to recruit the debuting Humberto Carrillo to their faction while also trying to prevent him from using high flying moves and instead using a more ground based offence. [39] On 9 April episode of 205 Live, after Gulak attacked Carrillo during his match with Gallagher, Gallagher came to the aid of Carrillo and headbutted Gulak out of the ring, turning face in the process. [40]

In the following months, Gallagher would find himself in a losing streak, and after losing to Angel Garza on 29 November episode of 205 Live, he would headbutt General Manager Drake Maverick, thus turning heel again in the process. [41] Gallagher returned on 28 February 2020 episode of 205 Live, attacking Lio Rush, while sporting a beard, shorter hairstyle and new tattoos covering his body.
