Mad Dog O'Malley is a retired Irish-American professional wrestler who competed on the East Coast and Mid-Atlantic independent circuit during the 1990s and early 2000s.
[5][6] At the event, O'Malley had originally defeated The World's Greatest Wrestling Clown and afterwards put out an open challenge to the rest of the MEWF roster.
He successfully defeated two other wrestlers, Billy Brat and Johnny Taylor, and was in the middle of wrestling the Ultimate Comet when referee Dave the Wave was bumped from the ring.
[5][8] Other notable tag team partners on the "indy circuit" included Bobby Taylor, The Inferno Kid, Lucifer, Morgus the Maniac, Cueball Carmichael, and Buster Maccabi.
During this time, he battled "Hollywood" Bob Starr and Morgus the Maniac in dog-collar matches throughout the Mid-Atlantic as well as impressive wins over The Iron Sheik, Nikolai Volkoff, Cactus Jack, "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka, Raven, The Headbangers, and The Honky Tonk Man.
[12] On 20 September, shortly after the death of Shane Shamrock, O'Malley and Carmichael made an appearance at the promotion's memorial show held at the Patapsco Arena in Baltimore, Maryland.
[18] In October of that year, O'Malley was one of several MEWF wrestlers to participate in a fundraiser for North Carroll High School, the "Pro Wrestling Spectacular", attended by an estimated 1,500 fans.
He confronted the champion at the start of the show, who was then conducting an in-ring interview, and took issue with Lucifer's announcement to the crowd that he would be defending the heavyweight title against the "younger and newer competition in the MEWF".
