Background Information:
Dangerous Doug Nichols may be young compared to most professional wrestlers of his experience, but don't let that fool you. DDN has been around for years and has honed his skills to the sharpness of a fine sword. If he doesn't cut you down like a tree in the ring, he'll assassinate you with a verbal arsenal that only months and years on the mic can bring you.

Born in Huntington, WV, DDN wasn't supposed to grow up into something great. The only ones from his city that ever accomplished such were on the football field, where Marshall University is located. Throughout high school, Nichols played on the teams, but was never truly into the sport. When a small indy promotion made their way into town one Sunday afternoon, the promoter saw a 6'3" high school junior sitting in the front row to watch the mediocre wrestlers make their daily pay. The promoter came up to DDN after the show and invited him to join his circuit once he graduated from high school. Nichols, never being the scholastic type, eagerly agreed and spent much of his senior year of high school working out in the gym or hitting people on the football field.

When the time came, DDN packed his bag, stuck with an at the time stupid name, Dangerous Doug Nichols, and made it to the Snake Venom League, a newfound league based in the Imaginary Wrestling Association. Quickly he made an impact, as his size, speed, and above all else, his trash talking ability vaulted him to the top of the league. When word got out about the lethal combination of moves and words that were coming from DDN, leagues around the IWA would call, requesting him to take tours of their leagues. This wasn't at all bad for a 19 year old who had just broken into wrestling a year prior.

After nearly four years of touring the IWA and making appearances all over the United States, DDN got a call that would push his career in ways that no other call has. A man named James Hunt based up in Thunder Bay, Canada invited him to join an already well established league called the World Championship Wrestling Federation, a part of the At-Bay International Wrestling banner. After accepting the position DDN was placed in not only a group of more experienced and capable wrestlers, but some of the greatest minds and mouths in the business. Starting from the bottom, in the Extreme Division of the WCWF, DDN honed his skills once again and adapted to the fast paced style of wrestling and soon became a two time Extreme champ, something that was rarely accomplished at the time. Soon after he was pushed up into the Intercontinental Division, where he and his recently formed stable of superstars, known collectively as the Xtreme Kings, battled for power with another league stable known as R.E.A.L. during the summer of 2000. The climax of the feud occured when Dangerous Doug, after countless attempts to wrest the IC title off of R.E.A.L. leader Tre' "40 oz." Evans, finally succeeded in capturing the elusive gold. Soon after James Hunt announced that the @IW would indefinitely shut its doors.

That did not last long though, as December rolled around, the @IW was once again opened. Now known as a veteran superstar of the league and a legend in some eyes, he focused on the top prize. In February of 2001, just two weeks after his 23rd birthday, DDN captured the top prize of the @IW by defeating former champion Playa with his patented Dangerous Drop, a variation of the Impact DDT. Unfortunately for Nichols, his time at the top did not last long, as former stablemate and fast turned rival Armageddon managed to upend the new Champion at the next pay-per-view the following month.

After countless months trying to win back another title, with little success, Dangerous Doug Nichols decided to hang up the boots and take a vacation from action. During that time the @IW suffered a major split and all of those who helped make the @IW great ventured off to start their own enterprise known as the UWN. After several months of the UWN being opened, the itch was once again apparent in the Dangerous One. DDN decided to come back and quickly won the last title in the league that had eluded him. He had completed the cycle and felt it was time for something new.

The Global Championship Wrestling league was the answer.

Now DDN looks to start all over again and show everyone why he is a true legend of the sport. With the perfect combination of in the ring smarts and on the mic ferocity, the GCW better watch out for the King of Xtreme.

The lights in the arena go out and several shots of blue pyro fill the air. "Till I Collapse" by Eminem and Nate Dogg begins playing over the sound system as the fans jump to their feet. Chants of "DDN! DDN! DDN!" ring out with perfect rhythm to the beat of the song. Electric blue laser lights flicker on and off as Dangerous Doug Nichols makes his way down to the entrance ramp wearing his traditional wrestling attire of loose black leather pants and a black and red swirled design t-shirt with "XK" written on the front and "Xtreme King" written on the back. The fans continue to cheer loudly and chant as the Dangerous One moves down to the ring. He climbs over the top rope and raises his arm to the fans as the music dies down.
