Barry Darsow
Barry Darsow, best known as Smash, was born October 6, 1959 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He is a former pro wrestler .
During his career he worked for Jim Crockett Promotions, the WWF, WCW, and several regional promotions in the 1980s and 1990s.
Darsow got his wrestling cred early on in life. He attended Robbinsdale High School in Minneapolis with Curt Hennig, Richard Rood (Rick Rude), Brady Boone (Battle Kat), Tom Zenk, John Nord, and Scott Simpson (Nikita Koloff).
Was it some kind of Genetic Research facility?
He also worked as a bouncer with the Road Warriors, Hawk and Animal.
During his career he held the NWA Florida United States Tag Team Wrestling Championship with Jim Neidhart, the IAW Tag Team Wrestling Championship with Paul Roma, the NWA Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Wrestling Championship, the NWA United States Tag Team Wrestling Championship with Ivan Koloff, the NWA World Six-Man Tag Team Wrestling Championship twice with Ivan and Nikita Koloff, the Mid-South Television Wrestling Championship and the WWF Tag Team Wrestling Championship three times with Ax.
And his legacy lives on, as now his son Dakota Darsow has signed a developmental contract with the WWE.

"The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels
And now a person that I think is really under rated.
He's a very solid in ring performer and has the showmanship ability a lot of wrestlers lack.
This has nothing to do with the fact that he's from my home state.
Heck, if this keeps up I may just do a blog on North Carolina Wrestlers.
Daniel Christopher Covell was born on December 24, 1973 Fayetteville, North Carolina.
He is a pro wrestler better known by his ring names "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels or Curry Man.
Daniels wrestled for the WCW back in 2001 and had a famous match during an episode of WCW Monday Nitro where he botched an attempted springboard moonsault, nearly breaking his neck. Despite losing almost all control of his left arm, he wrestled the match to it's finish.
Daniels was offered a 90-day contracts after the match, but the WWF bought WCW right after that and Christopher would never wrestle for the WCW again.
