Like many big men, the Gang would enter a territory, beat up the preliminary combatants and challenge for their main belt. In the WWE, The Gang essentially got to do it twice. Mid run in the WWE, George Gray shed the One Man Gang gimmick for that of the African American, Akeem (basically a white guy who thought he was black). The gimmick may have bordered on being offensive, but as Akeem he was able to show other facets of his personality that was never before shown. Gray would revert back to the Gang gimmick in WCW and although he never won a slew of titles, he may have been the most underrated big man in wrestling history.
