Superstar History: Danny Rose has spent the first three years of his career building his name along the west coast; small groups from Vancouver down to Tijuana have seen his...eccentric style and moves make appearances. Now, after building a regional reputation, Danny makes his way to Empire Wrestling, his first foray into the wider world of wrestling. Not content with sticking to obscurity, his hipster attitude and unique ring style are sure to rub some the wrong way, but he's sure to pick up his fair share of fans. Rose rose (no pun intended) up the ranks of EW quickly in 2021, culminating with winning the Spartan Championship in May, and holding it over 250 days before vacating due to personal reasons. Now he returns to the scene of that triumph, and one has to wonder...are his sights higher this time?
