"The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels

"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.
