History

Origination

Rad Hazard (first known as real name Daniel Baldwin), a resident of Las Vegas, Nevada, had taken an interest in backyard wrestling actually having a prior history in the participating in the practice. In September 2008, he began promoting his backyard wrestling community on video pages and channels and later released sketch comedy advertisements on Youtube promoting his community and new weekly backyard wrestling program Backyard Wrestling Weekly over two weeks leading to its premiere.

The initial beliefs from Daniel Baldwin were full of skepticism for the show as he felt insufficient interest was garnered from the ads. The first edition, however, was a success for Hazard, taking helm of the attention of the small backyard wrestling world. Viewers had also voiced on more enhanced practices opposed to the reckless antics of the sport he showed in the background. Shortly, known as Daniel Baldwin, he altered his name to a backyard wrestling name Rad Hazard and introduced segments including "Top Rope News", "Backyard Wrestling Spotlight" and "Mark Out Moment".

Hazard subsequently commented on his status in an edition stating that, "at the very beginning, I didn't expect anyone to watch this show. Why would they watch some random guy from Las Vegas who has no matches on YouTube."
