Takeshi Rikio
Galloway's reputation continued to precede him, being placed in the Real Quality Wrestling (RQW) "Not Just For Christmas" tournament to crown the inaugural RQW Heavyweight Champion. Representing IWW, having made his IWW Title defence against Fleisch earlier in the year, Galloway faced SAS Wrestling's El Ligero going through to the semi-final only to lose to One Pro Wrestling's Pac by count out. Galloway continued to appear in April, taking his rivalry with 'SOS' Sheamus O'Shaunessy to London with a double count-out which led to a rematch in June where Galloway picked up the victory in a Street Fight. Later on that evening, having made a statement with his win over O'Shaunessy, Galloway attacked the RQW Heavyweight Champion Martin Stone during his title defence against Takeshi Rikio. This attack led to Galloway's final match in the UK at August's "Summer Brawl". Despite attacking Stone earlier in the evening, Galloway could not pick up the victory and failed to win the title. Galloway's last appearance was serving as a referee for PBW on 15 September in a match that saw Darkside defeat Lionheart to become the championship contender.
