Current Gimmick:
Unfortunately adopts the "rough" or "grunge" looks of folks like Cactus Jack and Raven. Fortunately can follow through, and has an
obsession with windows -- he'll often bring a sheet of (Hollywood-style breakaway) glass out to the ring with him, placed at an angle from the bottom of the ring apron to the top of the security barrier, in hopes of back body dropping someone out of the ring and through it. In hardcore matches, if there is a window in some part of the building, he will do his best to put his opponent through it.

Background:
Dan went into wrestling inspired by tapes of Japanese deathmatches and ECW. As he trained in wrestling, he worked to find a good gimmick, something different than others were doing. He worked the Indys for a time as The Slugger from Louisville, Kentucky, carrying a baseball bat to the ring, but he still didn't really find that satisfactory (not to mention dreading the day lawyers came to visit him). Then, one night during a falls count anywhere match, he was stuck into a popcorn machine, and with the rush of being busted open on the other side, he had a flash of inspiration.

A couple of weeks later, some trick glass was ordered, and Dan's new character was born. Through the glass didn't really hurt the victim most of the time, it looked wicked, and got him the attention he wanted. Though he dislikes losing (he feels that needlessly losing a match, especially a regular match, hurts his hardcore image) he has established a niche for himself. He did a little damage to his back early in his career, trying to execute his now-finisher on a nearly 300lb man, an injury that still bothers him once in a while to this day. He remains careful, at least as much as he can in his line of work, but you know adrenaline...
