In a grand reveal on X, the WWE Independent Development program—WWE ID—has announced its latest action-packed addition, and folks, it’s nothing short of a flex. Enter: GAL, self-proclaimed “Real Life Action Figure,” and a man who looks like he rolled straight off a toy store shelf, minus the packaging.
In footage hotter than a tanning bed in August, GAL was caught live at the Elite Pro Wrestling Training Center, Concord, New Hampshire, showcasing his signature moves. And let me tell you, if there was an award for showmanship, this guy would have a trophy case larger than his biceps. Moves included the classic clothesline, a big toss with as much finesse as force, and the final show-stopper: the powerslam. With that, GAL was ceremoniously handed an envelope with his WWE ID contract—a moment he accepted with a grin that might need its own trademark.
In true superstar style, GAL sent out a “message” (aka flex of the year) to his new WWE ID peers:
“Tanned and jacked, ready to attack, The Real Life Action Figure, Big Daddy Red has been ID’d. I’ve been ready for the big screen for a very long time,” GAL boomed with a confidence that seemed to shake the walls.
“Three times men’s physique champion, an absolute stud. Look at those peaks. Look at those striations. This is what a top-tier athlete looks like. So WWE ID, listen to me now, and believe me later, when you’re in mint condition, there is no competition, dummies.”
It’s quite the mission statement. His “Striations Bomb” finisher? A mystery move that, judging by his physique, is equal parts strength and spectacle.
GAL joins the likes of Marcus Mathers, Sam Hardway Holloway, and Jack “Cartwheel” Summit in WWE ID’s rising roster, proving that the talent pipeline is absolutely shredded. And with Houston’s Reality of Wrestling promising yet another reveal later today, WWE ID is clearly building a roster that screams “we’re ready to rumble.”
