Former WWE Star Calls The Company A “Political Insane Asylum”

You never know when you could see a big debut when you watch a wrestling show and in 2016 Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson immediately made an impact when they started appearing on WWE programming.

Gallows and Anderson went on to reunite with AJ Styles in WWE, and during a recent episode of Talk N Shop Karl Anderson noted that as the Good Brothers were trying to form a relationship with Vince McMahon he came to the realization that WWE is a “political insane asylum.”

“We debuted in the Staples Center. The very next week was England Raw. We were going to attack Roman Reigns that night. He was the WWE Champion at that time. Me and Gallows do whatever we’re told. That’s just the way we came up. I didn’t realize WWE was a completely political insane asylum where you weasel around and try to get different things done, which really confused me at first. Then I figured it out and was like, ‘wow, this is place is fucked.’ I just asked, ‘Hey, does Vince want us to wear the same exact clothes we wore last week or does he want us to wear different clothes? Why would we wear the same exact clothes, this week? Are we broke? Are we poor? Do we just bring the same clothes?’ They’re like, ‘Well, what you should do is go in there and talk to him.’

We got an opportunity to walk in with Vince. We sit down and he goes, ‘What can I do for you fellas?’ We go, ‘Well, Vince, we just want to know if you want us to wear the same clothes last week when we debuted.’ He goes, ‘Jesus Christ, that was easy. Gray for you, black for him. Yes, I wish all these meetings were easy.’ He laughed, big hug. He goes, ‘Is that it?’ ‘Yeah.’ He goes, ‘You guys made a hell of an impact last week, thanks a lot.’ As I walked away, I was like, ‘Fuck, that was an opportunity we missed’ to maybe just talk to him. Brother with him a little bit. Just do something. He was almost expecting a complaint or something else. That part has eaten at me forever because that’s the whole American and WWE mentality that I’ve learned to find out the way it’s supposed to be.”

Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson were both released from WWE in April of 2020, and they went on to sign with Impact Wrestling. They have also made appearances on AEW and NJPW programming.
