Darren Wyse

[4] He and The Hungarian Barbarian were part of The Pack, a heel stable which dominated Hardway Wrestling and several other Northeastern independent promotions during the 1990s, before their break up and subsequent feud with The Bad Crew.

[6][7][8] A former high school baseball player, Wyse is also a semi-professional bowler and has competed in numerous local, regional and national tournaments.

Other wrestlers who appeared at the event included The Fantastics (Tommy Rogers & Bobby Fulton), Chief Jules Strongbow, Damien Kane and Abdullah the Butcher.

He eventually trained with Damien Kane at the Mason-Dixon Wrestling Alliance, attending with Guido Falcone, until the school closed.

He also became friends with Missy Hyatt, then managing John Tatum, and helped her during her early career on the independent circuit prior to joining World Championship Wrestling.

[10] He was also a founding member the Heart Throb Four with Flex Lavender, Johnny Gunn and Chris Candido in Joe Savoldi's New York/ New England based International World Class Championship Wrestling during the mid-1990s.

[4] Although there were plans to bring in Wyse for a series of matches against Eddie Valentine, a dispute between him and independent wrestler Rockin' Rebel as well as scheduling conflicts caused the angle to be dropped.

[10] On March 9, 2002, Wyse also appeared on the second show for Iron Man Championship Wrestling at the Olivets Youth Center in downtown Reading, Pennsylvania.

[11] A longtime mainstay of Hardway Wrestling, an Allentown-based promotion owned by the tag team the Bad Crew, Wyse held the HW Hardcore Championship after defeating D-Man Davidson at Summer Spectacular in Northampton, Pennsylvania on July 11, 2003.

[12] He and Wyse were also featured in the NCW Hottie's & Bodies calendar which included Adam Flash, Mike Quackenbush, Greg Matthews, Tom Brandi, Danny Rose and King Kong Bundy.

[13][14] On April 19, 2008, he and Wyse faced the United Kingdom's Andrew Bates on the first night of NCW's Ballroom Blitz tour in a no disqualification match with his manager The Chippendale Judge at the Tourist Inn in Hallam, Pennsylvania.

The following year, Wyse announced his retirement and wrestled his last match, in front of a turn-away crowd at a special NCW show entitled Final Night in Boots at the York County School of Technology.
