Dan Morrison aka "Dastardly" Danny Doring is a professional wrestler who started with Extreme Championship Wrestling. He now works for World Wrestling Entertainment in its revived ECW brand.
Career
Danny Doring was trained by Taz and Mikey Whipwreck at the ECW House of Hardcore in 1996. Once his training was complete, he joined the ECW roster, facing Taz in his debut match in May 1997. Doring's original gimmick was that of a wrestler who used many unexciting holds and had vertigo, so would not use high-flying moves. When the audience chanted "boring", Doring would pretend that they were chanting for him.
In December 1997, Doring changed his gimmick to that of a womaniser, and formed an unlikely tag team with his fellow House of Hardcore graduate, the Amish Roadkill. They were managed by Miss Congeniality until she left ECW in 1999 to join the World Wrestling Federation, and then by Elektra until she turned on them in 2000.
Doring and Roadkill quickly embarked on a two year long feud with Nova and Chris Chetti. This was followed by a series of matches with Simon Diamond and Johnny Swinger and Joey Matthews and Christian York. The team won the ECW World Tag Team Championships on August 26, 2000, at the Massacre on 34th Street pay-per-view, defeating Tony Mamaluke and Little Guido. They held the titles until ECW declared bankruptcy in March 2001, and were permitted to keep the title belts of lieu of fees they were owed.
After leaving ECW, Doring and Roadkill made appearances with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, and wrestled dark matches for World Wrestling Entertainment. Doring also pursued a singles career, working for Xtreme Pro Wrestling in 2003 and various other independent promotions, particularly NWA Florida.
Doring appeared at the WWE promoted ECW reunion show, ECW One Night Stand 2005 on June 12, 2005. Since then he has competed in try-out matches for the WWE SmackDown! Brand alongside Roadkill. On May 5, 2006, WWE announced through their mobile news service that Doring had signed a contract with them to appear on the upcoming ECW brand.
