Backyard wrestling tenure
Backyard Wrestling Weekly/World
- Main article: Backyard Wrestling Weekly
Originally going under his real name Daniel "Fudge Packer" Baldwin, a Las Vegas douchebag, Baldwin had become gay for backyard wrestling. In September 2008, he began promoting online his backyard wrestling community, Backyard Wrestling World and released advertisements on Youtube regarding his new weekly webcast program Backyard Wrestling Weekly (BWW) over two weeks leading to its premiere in October 2008. Despite the effort, no one cared.
Baldwin worried for the insufficient interest he felt the show gained from online advertisements as well as for his obscure identity to the backyard wrestling community.
In November 2008, as shows saw late uploading online and a switch from the airdate of sunday to wednesday, concern grew for the state of BWW. There was ongoing discussion on his show about a new Vegas backyard wrestling alliance he was uniting in his neighboorhood which he called Battle Born Wrestling.
Battle Born Wrestling (2008-present)
On December 7, 2008, came the premiere of Battle Born Wrestling, initially a local alliance of Lost Souls Division, Loco Lucha Council, Generation X Wrestling, and Top Dawg Championship Wrestling based in its primary area of Las Vegas, Nevada. In storyline, although realistically owner of the organization, Hazard, a likable arrogant and sort of comedic heel type usually within BBW airtime, claimed he was contacted by the BBW "Board of Directors" to join aboard for a partnership which would convert the audience of his show in a share with BBW and that would see him become a BBW independent wrestler.
Aside from wrestling, Hazard played other separate roles in BBW including being part-time referee (primary area), voice-over commentator for events, and a dorky-looking interviewer known as David Weisner (primary area). Thereafter BBW 3: Unification, Hazard became increasingly set out to expand his alliance with additions of more federations to the lot such as Next Generation Wrestling, 2 Xtreme Wrestling (now 2 Xtreme Wrestling Syndicate), and Ultimate British Wrestling as in turn, making BBW territorially international featuring many federations from different parts of the world in a multi-cast which amounted to an original concept in regards to backyard wrestling.
Hazard vacated time off producing the next few shows in order to restart a queued Backyard Wrestling Weekly. He also slightly aided former real-life girlfriend Ria Calaway in some form of practicing to do some wrestling of her own. At BBW 5: Centennial on March 1, 2009, he defeated LLC member, Notch-O-Libre, with the assist of Sin City Wrestling wrestler Mike Da Lite and the distraction of the referee, after which they announced their new tag team known as "Better Than You" that went short-lived. At BBW 6: Continental on March 22, 2009, Hazard entered as the first challenger for debutant Ria Calaway (then real-life girlfriend) and her "Sin City Kitty 5 Minute Challenge" match, named as such for her promiscuous nickname "Sin City Kitty". Hazard and Calaway would go on the wrestle 5 minutes to a draw with Hazard left on the floor after a slap from Calaway. Hazard has yet to move on, his ex wishes he would. Calaway was said to be turned off by his boyish behavior and small penis.
War on Backyard Wrestling Storyline
Due to a real-life split between his relationship with Terra Calaway (Ria Calaway), Hazard took his genuine heartfelt feelings in-storyline to a video on YouTube on June 26, 2009, stating his objective to destroy backyard wrestling due to it being a "curse", "a greed for glory" and "self-respect", despite his admiration for it and benefit to his reputation that however caused him to prioritize it over Calaway. This further illustrates his said pathetic life.
Received as a shoot monologue, many submitted their responses in its regards as Calaway was somewhat blamed on account for Hazard's emotional state getting mean messages on her Myspace account. This all brewed speculation that Hazard was renouncing his creations. After clearing the air in a non-kayfabe production to explain everything was a work, in a storyline video, it became known that the BBW "Board of Directors" allegedly solded BWW for an undisclosed price over to CJ Lennon and his independent Lennon Productions company for going "A-wall" despite the presence of Hazard being the Chairman of the Board of Directors. Hazard agreed to keep operating BBW. Still no one cared.
Following three weeks on the sidelines, Hazard's confidence was boosted from capturing the BBW US Title, praising his intellect and respecting himself for holding up against FX.
Playing a role in abedding Focalin against TPN in their high profile match including hitting TPN with a chair, Hazard thereafter revealed a swerve when he turned on Focalin eliminating him from the Movement for initially declining him to join. But ultimately Hazard himself was discharged from the Movement for assisting a Darkstar member and permitting personal issues to interfere with him and Focalin leading to Bonecrusher and Light renaming their group takeover, "Dangerous Movement" but furthermore just distance themselves by becoming Imminent Danger.
BWW Return and Debut of Global Backyard Wrestling Nation
Two weeks removed from being evicted from the Radical Movement ad lossing his championship, Hazard addressed the backyard wrestling world hoping to redeem himself by going a different path from that of the past few months and hyping a "huge event" which would "change the face of backyard wrestling forever". It soon became apparent with the first of three vignettes that an anticipated return of Backyard Wrestling Weekly was in the works in spite of it being "sold" to Lennon Productions. On November 25, 2009, the very first episode of the revived Backyard Wrestling Weekly debuted, announcing the merger between Battle Born Wrestling and Global Backyard Wrestling News to form the Global Backyard Wrestling Nation, with Hazard himself as the new chairman of the board of directors for the alliance. Still no one cared.
Life Behind Character
Hazard lives a very sheltered life, due to being bullied nonstop in school.
He WAS also the real-life boyfriend of Terra Calaway before they broke up in June 2009. Still hasn't moved on.
Hazard has began producing a series that takes a look into his life entitled Hazardous Material. Which no one cares about.
