Festus, aka Drew Hankinson, is a professional wrestler featured on USA Network's "WWE Raw."
When it comes to Festus, looks may be deceiving; but WWE Superstars would be wise not to mess with this country boy.
In the weeks leading up to his debut, Festus and his then partner Jesse introduced themselves by giving their opinions on a variety of subjects—from fame to fashion to WWE Magazine. Actually, it was Jesse giving their opinions, as Festus stared off in the distance with a blank look.
But don't let that look fool you, because that … that is the face of a man who looks like a wrecking machine inside the squared circle. The WWE Universe was assured that from bell to bell, Festus is all business—and the big man delivers on that promise. When he made his in-ring debut on the Oct. 5 Friday Night SmackDown, Festus literally transformed into a new man the moment the bell rang; once it sounded again to signify the end of their debut victory, however, the placid, vacant look returned to his big, burly country mug.
Inside the ring, Festus's transformation is bad news for his opponents, and one can only wonder what the situation would be like if encountering the country boy in an elevator.
WWE Debut: Oct. 5, 2007
