Extreme Championship Wrestling (1996–2001) Doring was trained by
Taz,
Bubba Ray Dudley and
Perry Saturn 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 womanizer, and formed an unlikely
tag team with his fellow House of Hardcore graduate,
Roadkill. They were managed by
Angelica, his on-screen girlfriend, for six months, until she left ECW in October 1999 at
Re-enter the Sandman to join the
World Wrestling Federation as Lita, 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 Championship on December 3, 2000, at the
Massacre on 34 Street pay-per-view, defeating
Tony Mamaluke and
Little Guido. They held the title until ECW declared bankruptcy in April 2001. After this, Doring competed in
Xtreme Pro Wrestling (XPW) which featured a similar style of hardcore wrestling to ECW.
World Wrestling Entertainment (2005–2006) Doring appeared at the WWE promoted ECW reunion show,
ECW One Night Stand 2005 on June 12, 2005. Subsequently, 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. On the premiere June 13 edition of
ECW, Doring took part in a
battle royal (with the winner facing
John Cena at
Vengeance). Doring appeared on an episode of
ECW against
Mike Knox and lost to him. After losing a match to
Rob Van Dam on the August 22 episode of
ECW, he and Van Dam were both attacked by the returning
Hardcore Holly. Doring wrestled a match of an ECW show in 2006. This was against CM Punk, which Danny would lose. He competed in live events with the likes of
Nunzio and one time
Kurt Angle, mostly in losing efforts. He was released from WWE in December 2006. In June 2015, as Danny Morrison, he served as commentator of House of Hardcore TV. ISPW - Danny was the longest tenured champion of ISPW. ==Professional wrestling style and persona==
