Background: Since high school Dan had always been into bodybuilding and wrestling. At 18 with an already tremendous build, Dan won the Mr. Teen Miami championship, then went on to finish second in the Mr. Teen Florida championships. Dan really felt he should have won, but let it go. A year later at 19, Dan again won the Teen Miami, and then went on to win the Teen Florida. This set Dan up for a carreer in Bodybuilding, he really thought he had it all.
Dan went on to win several titles before he won his pro bodybuilding card in 95. He had finally made it, at 24, he was a Professional body builder. This quickly went to his head and Dan got lazy and it reflected in his proformance on the stage. In his first performance Dan was truly out classed, but his ego would not let the truth sink in. Dan finished 18 of 24 competitors. Dan blamed everyone for his loss but himself, even going so far to confront the promoter with his thoughts that he was screwed because he was a new guy. Word quickly got around and Dan was black balled by many judges for his attitude. Dan began to finish last at every show he entered, more because his lack of desire that he once had. Finally Dan snapped and hit one of the judges after a show. This saw Dan lose his pro card, and more so Dan was banned from the sport for poor sportsmanship.
At 25, a year into his professional carreer, Dan had killed his own career. During high school Dan had also taken part in amerature wrestling, having never really competed how ever, as it always interfered with his bodybuilding. Dan did however have the skill and the talent, he trained with the school team all the time, and the coach begged him to compete but Dan always turned him down. Now 25 with his carreer now gone, Dan was left with out any sort of job to fall back on. While out for lunch one day, Dan ran into an old high school friend who had taken his high school wrestling and moved into pro wrestling after college. Steve and Dan went way back, Steve knew what Dan was like and knew Dan could be a great pro wrestler. After talking with Steve for a couple of hours, Dan decided to try out for a local idependent fed that Steve was wrestling in. The promoter took a real shine to Dan's presence, and asked him to come train at his school. After a year of training Dan stepped into the square circel for the first time as one half of the team known as Armageddon. Under a mask known as Apocolypse, Dan went on to great success with his partner Carnage, also his good friend Steve.
Soon Dan and Steve found themselves with out a promotion to work for as the fed they were in closed it's doors. The two decided to stick together and move their ability somewhere else. They went on to become NCWA tag team champions before NCWA closed it's doors. After NCWA closed, Dan and Steve removed the mask and began to wrestle under the team name of Cripplers Incorporated. They first wrestled in Japan, than England then finally signed with BRAWL of North America. As Cripplers Inc. Dan and Steve went on to claim the BRAWL tag team gold before BRAWL closed it's doors leaving Dan and Steve homeless once more.
It was during a BRAWL match that Dan had the concusion that started his brain swelling issue. The swelling only got worse as the years and number of chair shots to the head increased.
Steve decided it was time to hang up the boots and retired, hoping Dan would do the same. Dan still had tremendous passion for the sport and was no where near ready to give it up just yet. Dan found great success as a singles wrestler, having held several titles under the persona of the Divine one, including USx United States Champion, and ACW Georgia State Championship, just to name a few. Dan left the sport due to personal issues, but latter returned with new desire to succeed once more in AWA, HW, TSW, and AWU. Having captured multiple Heavyweight and other such titles, along with the WfWA Double Crown, Dan seeks to reach for that final golden ring that has been out of his reach for so long.
After AWU's demise Dan took a coupl emonths off to get himself back into game shape. Dan now returning has add more size and solid muscle to his frame while keep his agility and skill in tact.
