Andrew Hankinson, known professionally as Doc Gallows, was born on December 22, 1983, in Cumberland, Maryland, USA. He began his professional wrestling career in 2005, initially competing on the independent circuit in promotions like Mason-Dixon Wrestling and the World Star Wrestling Federation. His early career saw him use various ring names such as Dorian Deville and Dargon, showcasing an early adaptability to different personas and wrestling styles. He also played college football at Fairmont State University.
Hankinson’s career progressed significantly when he signed with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in April 2005, following his participation in the WWE Tough Enough contest. He spent time in WWE’s developmental territory, Deep South Wrestling (DSW), where he wrestled as Dorian “Deacon” Deville and The Freakin’ Deacon. In 2006, he made his main roster debut on WWE Raw as an imposter Kane, engaging in a storyline feud that culminated in a victory at Vengeance 2006. He was later repackaged as Festus, a character with a unique split personality, and teamed with Jesse. This run ended in 2009. He returned as Luke Gallows, aligning with CM Punk’s Straight Edge Society, a period that saw him develop a more serious and impactful on-screen presence before his initial release from WWE in 2010.
Following his departure from WWE, Gallows expanded his career internationally and on the independent circuit. He worked in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) from 2011 to 2013 as D.O.C. (Director of Chaos) as part of the Aces & Eights stable. A significant turning point came in 2013 when he joined New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) as Doc Gallows, partnering with Karl Anderson as part of the Bullet Club. Together, they achieved considerable success, winning the IWGP Tag Team Championship three times and the World Tag League in 2013. His career then led him back to WWE in 2016 alongside Anderson and AJ Styles, forming The Club, later rebranded as The O.C., where they won the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship twice and the WWE Tag Team World Cup in 2019. After another release in 2020, he returned to Impact Wrestling and NJPW, continuing to secure tag team championships as part of The Good Brothers, and made a second return to WWE in 2022. He was released from WWE for the third time in 2025 and has since returned to NJPW and the independent circuit.
