Gallagher has made winning start to his WWE career

There's a Mancunian with a magnificent moustache making waves in WWE!
Cruiserweight competitor Jack Gallagher got his career in the company off to a bang by beating Ariya Daivari on WWE 205 Live last Tuesday and then downing the same man on Monday Night Raw.
The 26-year-old is a master of technical grappling but can also pull off explosive strike moves, such as the flying dropkick he has twice used to defeat Daivari.
Yet, the grappler nicknamed "Gentleman" is also famed for his well-manicured facial fur and sharp dress sense, including his colourful wresting trunks, as you will see in the video at the top of the page.
Being in the ring represents a human game of chess - I am not the biggest so I have to use my mind and technique. There is a bit of flimflam and pizzazz.
Sky Sports WWE caught up with Gallagher earlier this year, shortly after he reached the last-16 of the Cruiserweight Classic, to discuss his style.
"I believe that you'd only have to watch one of my bouts to realise there's a lot more to cruiserweight wrestling than leaping to and fro," said Gallagher.
"I'm somewhat dignified and slightly silly but always a gentleman. I'm an avid tea drinker and have a selection of tweed suits, pocket squares, and umbrellas. I'm only missing a bowler hat, and I'm looking to remedy that."
And how does he preserve his 'tache? "I comb it twice a day and use only the finest quality of wax."
Besides grooming, though, Gallagher may also have to contend with Daivari once again - the Minnesotan reacting to his Raw defeat by booting the Englishman in the knee.
Watch Gallagher strut his stuff on Monday Night Raw, every week on Sky Sports 5.
