"Doomsday" Danny Rose is an American professional wrestler and trainer. A mainstay on the East Coast and Mid-Atlantic region since the mid-1990s, he has worked for a number of independent promotions including Combat Zone Wrestling, Future Wrestling Alliance, The Bad Crew's Hardway Wrestling, Maryland Championship Wrestling, Mid-Eastern Wrestling Federation, Premier Wrestling Federation, and World Xtreme Wrestling.
Rose held a number of championships on the independent circuit, winning 19 titles during the first five years of his career, in addition to tag team titles with Adam Flash, as both "The Family of Freaks" (PWF/MEWF) and "The Rachies" (HW/CZW), The Bruiser (MCW), and The Mad Russian (WXW). He was also a member of The Rebel's Army with The Rockin' Rebel and WWE Tough Enough's Greg Matthews, a popular "heel" group on the Pennsylvania "indy circuit", in the mid-2000s. The group reunited at the former ECW Arena for Acid-Fest: A Tribute to Trent Acid on July 10, 2010.
Trained by Damien Kane, Danny Rose made his professional début in or around 1996. He wrestled for Afa Anoa'i and his World Xtreme Wrestling promotion in Allentown, Pennsylvania as the "Russian Eliminator". Within a year, he won the WXW Tag Team Championship with The Mad Russian, as "The Siberian Express", defeating George Anthony and Jay Love on June 28. They held the titles for almost three months until their loss to the Samoan Gangstas (L.A. Smooth and Matt E. Smalls) on September 19, 1997.
