Gimmick: Gabe always prided himself on fighting with a lot of heart and always laying it all on the line for the sake of the fans. At this point in his career he had felt like he had nothing left to prove and has taken a step back from wrestling, outside of the handful of matches here and there in the last 3-4 years. Gabe is happy helping new talent train in the Empire Wrestling gym that he set up and eventually sold off.

Superstar History: The man formerly known to the world as Mad Dogg got his start in late 2003 and found some footing in what was the Epic Wrestling Organization. eWo was Shelley's home and the place he won his first taste of championship gold until they closed the doors. In late 2004, early 2005, Gabe found himself a member of the BWF roster and the rest is history. The then longest reigning US Champion in the company's history, hard fought matches with the likes of Mark McNasty, 3 BWF World Championship reigns, BWF Hall of Famer, and so much more. Most of Gabe's career has been spent in the cycle of eWo, BWF, and the offshoots of those companies. He's even spent time running BWF.
Now, Gabe has a wife and a daughter and many would say he's in the twilight of his career. He knows he's still got some fight left in this dog and is coming back to BWF to show it.
