To indie purists, the name Drew Gulak<\/strong> is one that commands a lot of respect. He’s an eleven year veteran of the indie circuit, is a highly regarded trainer whose taught dozens of today’s indie stars, and his technical ringwork and psychology is a thing of beauty. But for many, the Drew Gulak they are now seeing on Raw<\/strong> <\/em>and 205 Live<\/strong><\/em> is there first time encountering the man. For the educated few, Gulak’s emerging push on the main roster in it’s Cruiserweight Division is a bit of a shock – many assumed his (seeming) lack of character would lead to him being one of the guys who remained in the enhancement shuffle. But his “No Fly Zone” straight laced character of the past few months has begun to gain some traction, especially since the addition of his now infamous Power Point presentations. But for those who are still new to Drew, sit back. He’s a bit of a hidden gem.<\/p>\n

In 2004, emerging indie promotions CZW<\/strong> and CHIKARA<\/strong> merged their training facilities together to form one wrestling school, with Drew Gulak being one of the early students after the alliance. A year later, he made his debut with CZW, where he would be a regular performer until he joined the WWE last year following his appearance in the Cruiserweight Classic. He left the company after 11 years, as a former CZW World Heavyweight Champion, CZW Wired TV Champion and 2x CZW World Tag Team Champion, with Andy Sumner in Team AnDrew.<\/p>\n
