Wrestler’s Biography/History/Pic-base:

Dan “The Hammer” Highlander was born in Canberra, Australia. As a fan of professional wrestling from a young age, he began learning to fight as soon as his parents would allow him to, taking a karate class at the age of ten. His sharp tongue got him into more than his fair share of fights, and he was never able to stay at any one Dojo for long before his temper would get the better of him and he would be kicked out. This ultimately served his purpose as he managed to sample almost all of the martial arts before settling on a particularly combat-oriented style of karate.

​

At fourteen, having moved to Brisbane, he began training under former Olympic coach Yuri Markov in freestyle wrestling. Under Markov, he developed a degree of discipline and was able to, for the most part, contain his violent urges remaining as Markov’s protégé for nearly four years before setting out to fulfil his dream of becoming a professional wrestler.

Highlander joined the Australasian Wrestling Federation and twice captured their Heavyweight Championship. Towards the end of his tenure there, he was put into a match with his former tag team partner, Jonas Ryker, competing over which of the two young men would go on a talent exchange to Japan. Jonas won by cheating, and Highlander found himself out of a job. He was contacted by an American promoter called Darius Mitchell, and worked in his promotion, Colorado Pro Wrestling, for several months before signing a new contract with CWF, where he captured the Impact Championship in his second week.
