And the crowd goes wild! At least now they do. It has been a long, twisted tale since the Hoofer debuted in the wrestling ring. How did one of the most reviled wrestlers in the Upper Midwest indies evolve into a beloved hero? Do read on...

BDH's Custom Moves

• SHARK-TRAP : a seated double-arm submission that can be rolled into a pinning combo. Named to honor trainer Eddie Sharkey (also known as the Fox-trap in some circles) Generally spells the end for those caught.
• MUFFDIVE : Big Daddy's top rope splash
• RUGMUNCH : a muff-dive executed from the ring apron to the floor
• POONTANGLER : an inverted full-nelson submission floated over into a bridge
• WEDLOCK : a seated Cobra Clutch type maneuver using Daddy Long Legs' legs
• HANDBASKET : a belly-to-back suplex into a uranage (Rock Bottom)
• FLESHSPEAR : Big Daddy's titanic spear
• THE SOUL BRUISER : BDH's knife-edge chop - the stiffest in the biz!
• OVER-THE-SHOULDER BOULDER HOLDER : a submission that counters a piledriver or powerbomb, the victim is held upside down with his neck pinned over Hoofer's knee
• GAGPOINT : a choke with trapped arm using Big Daddy's legs
• SPLATTER PLATTER : technically, a "heapin' helpin' of Papa Grande's Splatter Platter", the victim runs into a reverse DDT
• DIVORCE COURT : top rope legdrop onto the arm; "It doesn't seperate the shoulder, it divorces it!" (joke credit: Joey Styles)
• CRUEL INTENTIONS : Cruel and Unusual's finisher; a wheelbarrow pick-up by Ian coupled with a BDH bulldog
