Danny Havoc is an independent professional wrestler most notable for wrestling in CZW, IWA MS, and IWA DS. Havoc was born in the small town of Cylinder, Iowa and started wrestling in his family's barn with his friends after school. After watching many wrestling tapes and specifically after attending Combat Zone Wrestling's Cage of Death 6 event, Havoc traveled to Philadelphia to try out for CZW. After training for a few months, Havoc made his debut in the student battle royal at Tournament of Death 4 on July 30, 2005. At one point during the match, Havoc was set on fire by fellow wrestler WHACKS. He made his singles debut at the first annual Chri$ Ca$h memorial show on September 10, 2005. He defeated fellow CZW Academy graduate Andy Sumner with a Death Valley Driver off the ring apron through a barbed-wire board propped up on two chairs outside the ring. He started a long feud with DJ Hyde that included matches on CZW shows as well as STF (Stars of the Future) and NEXT shows. Havoc finally defeated Hyde at CZW's April 2006 show "Any Questions?" Post-match, Hyde threw Havoc off of a balcony through a table. Havoc came into his own in 2007.
