Background Information:
Gimmick:
"Delicious" Dane Dawson has often been referred to as the "Gimmick that Never Was;" in that he is the same cocky, chauvinistic, holier-than-thou-are egomaniac in the ring, out of the ring, in the office, at a bar, talking to his grandmother, the list goes on.
Appearance:
Short, medium brown hair with a heavy blonde accent in front, slightly off-center; worn pushed forward with the blonde spiked up and slightly to the right in front. Hazel eyes. Chiseled and tanned physique, with minimal body-hair and no tattoos or scars.
Comparable to: "Ironman" Rob Conway (WWE developmental/OVW Superstar)
Ring Attire:
White, full-leg tights with silver-outlined star-silhouettes placed at the crotch and intermittently about the legs and hind-quarters; black patent-leather boots, covered in white shoot-fight style padding trimmed with black (similar in nature to boot-covers worn by Ken Shamrock or Chris Jericho), white wrist-sleeves with thumb-cutouts bearing a similar, yet proportionate silver-outlined star-silhouette on the back of the fist. On occasion, such as at PPV's, Dawson will tend to spice up his color-scheme, wearing silver tights with white star-silhouettes outlined in black, and all other attire accordingly color-schemed.
Casual Attire:
Generally Adidas brand three-stripe nylon snap-pants, assorted t-shirts from the "Got Balls?" racewear brand, and either white Adidas brand running shoes or black flip-flop sandals.

Brief History:
Daniel Dawson wasn't abused as a child. He wasn't taunted for a deformity, abandoned to become an orphan, or in and out of juvenile detention facilities due to frequent run-ins with the law. The first son of Calli Martin, younger sister of Troy Martin (a.k.a. Shane Douglas), was sired by Ken Dawson, a Michigan firefighter who died in the line of duty when his son was only a few months old. As such, Daniel having little more than photographs and the verbal-recollections of others to affect him never developed any strong emotional attachment to his "birth-father." Calli's mournful demeanor left her vulnerable, and she quickly fell for another firefighter from Ken's department, Quentin Barnes. Their tryst led to the wedlock-less conception of a daughter, Lisa. Within
a year of Lisa's birth, Calli and Quentin were married, and several years later they welcomed a second child, Tyler. Their family flourished, and Quentin became the only father that Daniel ever knew.
A rift began to develop in the family shortly after Daniel's 14th birthday, as the true mental condition of his mother began to surface. In essence, she had suppressed the loss of her first husband so substantially that she was now emotionally-unstable and compensated by committing adultery with Bob "Barncat" Ewell, a former independent promotion wrestler turned trainer and talent-scout for the promotion that her brother Troy presently competed in. It should be noted that Ewell was more than 20 years Calli's senior. The infidelity sent Quentin into a blind-rage, such that one night he simply up and left; assumedly he has either changed his given name or has done a very good job of concealing all previous identities, as he has not been seen nor heard of to this day.
Daniel blamed his mother's indiscretion, and was further infuriated when she, in an attempt to maintain her family's structure convinced Ewell to marry her, by tampering with a home-pregnancy test to read positive and later claiming a miscarriage. Daniel refused to remain with his mother, blaming her for the loss of Quentin, and petitioned for legal emancipation. The district court of Greater Lansing could not see fit to emancipate a 14 year old, and a commonground was found, remanding guardianship of Daniel to his uncle and godfather, Troy Martin. Daniel received his high school diploma at the age of 16 with the assistance of an on-site tutor, as he traveled with his Uncle Troy, now "Dean Douglas" of the World Wrestling Federation. Daniel, picking up the nickname Dane from the legendary Rick Martell, due to Martell's inability to pronounce the boy's name without making it sound feminine, became as common a sight backstage at Federation events as any other wrestler or crew-member. After two years of perhaps the most in-depth onsite training achievable, Dane expressed his interest to his uncle, now "The Franchise" Shane Douglas of Paul Heyman's Extreme Championship Wrestling based in Philadelphia, to pursue a similar career. Heyman, who had admired Dawson's
blossoming abilities from afar was eagar to comply and tendered Dane a preliminary contract, however Martin refused to accept Dane's choice, barring the instance that he first earn a college degree. And so, on May 8, 2000, after three and a half years of intensive study, Daniel Dawson graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Sports Medicine from Bethany College, in Bethany, Pennsylvania, his Uncle Troy's alma mater.
However, his contract was not to be waiting for him, as Heyman and Douglas were in the midst of a rather large tiff, the result of which found Heyman denying Dawson's admission to ECW simply to spite his own World Champion. Dawson did find refuge in an upstart league, the Hardcore Wrestling Alliance. This union would prove to be the
spark of history in the making.
It was in the HWA that Dawson would encounter the two other men who would have the largest impact on his life, since his father and his uncle Troy: David Hollis and Paul White, otherwise known as B-Side.
Hollis and Dawson's rivalry surfaced following a feud over the HWA United States Championship, and a confederation initiated by Hollis betwen the two. Together the two successfully won and defended the HWA Tag Team Championships. However, Hollis became one of as triple often refers to them "the many," to be backstabbed for holding Dawson down. Hollis, however, was never much liked by the fans except in Alabama, and as such this division only improved DDD's fan-base. Hollis, now casting aside his trailerpark roots and dubbing himself "Hollywood" Hollis, would lash back at Dawson, by seducing and marrying his half-sister Lisa. Lisa truly believed that Dave loved her, and in effect chose Hollis over her brother in the rift. Despite his efforts, Dane could not manage to get his sister to see Hollis for the piece of white trash he truly was; she was too enamoured with his Hollywood glitz and glamour, and his B-rate movies. The feud still exists to this day, and is one of HWA's most reknowned rivalries, at one point culminating in a World Heavyweight Championship match, a dog-collar match, which DDD notched the win in.
B-Side and DDD co-existed in HWA for nearly two years before conflict arose; occasionally they would draw each other in matches, however no distinct heat surfaced, each was simply another competitor to the other. B-Side, under the guidance of his agent Mr. Mixx, began his seige of HWA the night after the Hell Frozen Over pay-per-view event, by revealing that in publicly inking his return contract (He had previously been out for nearly 6 months due to several injuries from a match with the Punisher), he had slipped carbon-paper underneath as well as legal-documents, and that in signing, HWA President Drew Banelow, had relinquished his 55% share of the federation to B-Side. B-Side and Mixx had already arrange to have HBO buy out the remaining shareholders, and were now, in co-op with HBO, in complete control of HWA. Later in the evening, Dawson, who had just the night before won the HWA Television Championship defeating his half-brother Tyler Dane and the Booth, suffered a major concussion and hairline-fractures in three vertebrae while trying to aid the Punisher in a blitzkrieg attack by B-Side's private security force. With DDD and the Punisher laid-up, B-Side rampaged the HWA, doing as he chose when he chose, and making himself the HWA World Heavyweight Champion. Nearly 8 months later, a mysterious man in dressed in all black appeared backstage at an HBO/HWA event, his first target... HBO Executive Victor Cole, who was hurled into a vanity-mirror and fell through the countertop below. Later that evening, the man in black, his face concealed by the dirty, stringy brown hair fallen over it, appeared above in the rafters, looking down upon B-Side, Mixx, and Victor Cole's co-exec, Allan Schezar. During this demonstration of defiance, the Havoctron lit up with a checklist of sorts, at the bottom Victor Cole's name was written and had a line drawn through it. Above Cole's name was written the names of the other three standing in the ring. The two weeks would find images of Allan Schezar nearly beheaded with a cinder-block and locked in a dumpster and Mr. Mixx unconcious on the floor of B-Side's dressing room, foaming at the mouth, the result of a cattle-prod. B-Side, still not knowing the identity of his pursuer, would call out him out only to discover that the man was in fact Dane Dawson. However, Dawson had another card up his sleeve that even he did not know about. A faction had formed as soon as his identity was discover, of HWA loyals who emerged to try and take back their company, consisting of former HWA President Drew Banelow, the returning Punisher, "Superstar" Chris Worden, and the Archangel. The federation would divide right down the center, Hollis and his own crew siding with B-Side, in typical opportunistic fashion, and the all-out battle of HWA had begun. However, the result would become the eventual bankruptcy of company by B-Side, after using up all the company finances to defend against this mutineers. HWA folded, but not before one final show, which found Triple D defeating B-Side for the HWA World title and retiring the title once and for all, as the company closed down.

Enterance:
**The lights falls to non-existant as the opening power-chord of Guns N' Roses' "Dust n' Bones" blasts over the P.A. A single spotlight, or rather all spotlights focused onto a single location, falls at the top of the ramp. The second power-chord hits and instantly the spotlight splits into three different spots. Another power chord hits and the outer two spots split making five in total. All the spots dance in random patterns around the arena, moving at a speed in canter to the tune of the music, until the verse begins at, which point they simultaneously converge into one, again at the top of the ramp where Delicious Dane Dawson stands, arms relaxed and down at his sides. He surveys the crowd, then the ring, and smiles egotistically as he cracks his knuckles. As he begins is descent down the ramp and walks towards the ring, his every step in perfect rhythm with the bassline of the song, the spot lights once again split, this time into close to fourteen or fifteen entities and dance around the arena. DDD reaches the ring, and with a quick one-two step toboggans under the bottom rope, carrying his momentum into a forward shoulder-roll and emerging on his feet, his hands raised in celebration.**

Set up move:
D-Mentia
Set up Description:
Reverse Full-Nelson Sit-Out Slam; you have to go back a ways in the more commercial brands of wrestling to have scene the variation of the this move done. Pete Gas of the Mean Street Posse called the variation the Gas Mask. In essence, Dawson faces his opponent and secures a Reverse full-Nelson from the current position, such that his fingers laced together over the opponent's face. From here the move is simply a sit-out slam, similar in finish to a Tiger Driver/Pearl River Plunge.
Finishing Move:
the 3DT
Finishing Move Description:
Belly-to-Belly Cradle Brainbuster; In homage to his mentor and uncle Troy Martin, DDD modelled his own signature manuever after Martin/Douglas's "Pittsburgh Plunge," however with a little added twist. The 3DT is set-up from an inverted facelock, as if for an inverted DDT, instead the opponent is lifted up as if for an inverted suplex. DDD pauses in air (though as time has progressed this pause has decreased with experience) and hooks the inside-leg of his opponent with his free-arm, and pins it in near to the opponent's head, cradling him before falling back and dropping him squarely on the top of his head.

forgot to laugh. Well. news-flash, *BLEEP*hole, in my federation, like in my sport, and this entire bloody universe, Dane Dawson is *BLEEP*ing GOD ALMIGHTY! So why don't you take your battle-axe, wedge it straight into your urethra, and go sit and simmer in your lake of fire. Sound good, eh?"
