'''Danny Ferguson''' is an American [[wikipedia:actor|actor]] and [[wikipedia:professional wrestler|professional wrestler]] currently employed by [[PRIME]].

__TOC__

== Early Life / Acting Career ==

=== Four Is A Crowd ===

== [[El Spiffy!]] ==
Danny was the second (known) man to don the mask of El Spiffy!, "purchasing" the gimmick, Tom Brandi-style, from former [[Old School Wrestling]] competitor [[Matt Register]]. He was desperate for a return to fame, and was trying to use wrestling as a launching pad to Hollywood.
=== [[RUSH Wrestling]] ===
After a brief stay in the [[PWA]], El Spiffy! was soon signed to [[RUSH Wrestling]], which was run at the time by [[PCW]] legend [[Jeremy "Krayzie" Howard]]. Soon, he was involved in a months-long feud with RUSH megaheel [[Statuz Quo]]. After pursuing Quo and the RUSH [[Syndicate Title]] for the better part of a year, El Spiffy! finally defeated Quo in the latter's final match with the company.

El Spiffy! would go on to be the longest-reigning RUSH Syndicate Champion and defended the belt against such RUSH notables as [[Ebola III]] and [[Stimpo]]. He would also form a successful tag team with [[The Phantom Mullet]].

Long considered the heart and soul of RUSH, El Spiffy! was injured by then-World Champion [[Tyler Valentine]] when Valentine turned on the company. During Spiffy!'s hiatus, RUSH was forced to close and folded into [[PCW]].
=== [[Old School Wrestling]] ===
As El Spiffy!, Ferguson made one appearance in [[Old School Wrestling]], losing to [[The White Mexican]] in a match where he would have won an OSW contract with a victory. This was the last known appearance of Ferguson as El Spiffy!.
== Disappearance ==

== Return To Hollywood ==
No one cared enough about Danny to keep track of him during this in-between period, but the next time anyone remembered seeing him, he was considerably larger in size and starting to make waves in Hollywood.

=== Supporting Roles ===
Not one person remembers how his foot got jammed in that door, but he began popping up in supporting roles for a couple high-grossing films, and soon had enough buzz around him to get his own starring vehicle.
=== ''Hard Money'' ===
That movie, ''Hard Money'', became a startling surprise, becoming an unlikely summer blockbuster in 2005. The plot featured Ferguson as Conrad "Connie" Black, a World Series Of Poker competitor who takes down a corrupt casino boss and his army of thugs.

== PRIME ==
Capitalizing on his flash-in-the-pan fame, and trying to cultivate a reputation as a tough guy to court action film scripts, Danny returned to wrestling, and he brought a little bit of Hollywood with him. He quickly found success as both a singles and tag wrestler, making it to the semifinals of the 2005 Jewel In The Crown tournament before his unwillingness to strike a woman ("It's a PR nightmare!") led to a disappointing loss to Aimz.

=== The A-List ===
Following JITC, Danny found his niche alongside [[Chandler Tsonda]] and [[The Illustrious Face-Eater]]. Collectively known as [[The A-List]], the three men dominated PRIME's midcard for most of 2006, holding all major championships besides the [[Universal Title]].

== More Than Hardcore ==
During his stay in PRIME, Danny was cast as the title role in More Than Just Hardcore: The Terry Funk Story, a new biopic directed by Michael Mann. During this period, under Mann's meticulous guidance and emphasis on character development, he took on a number of traits of the Funker, and sought to duplicate his in-ring style with limited success. He did, however, pick up quite a bit of the Funker's ruthlessness and bloodlust.

Since the movie's release, Ferguson has garnered considerable awards buzz, no small feat for a pro wrestler starring in a movie about pro wrestling.

TurdFerguson-1218: /* Notable Former Roster Members */

Rush Pro Wrestling (known better as RPW) was an angle wrestling federation based in Charlotte, North Carolina. The brainchild of Will Otto and Skylar Green as part of a larger group of companies linked for a singular purpose, RPW was the only project to come to Fruition. [[Pete]] and [[Mat]] were instrumental in making RPW a stand out among the other projects in the wrestling world.

==Rush Pro Wrestling==
A small, independent wrestling company founded by [[Rush Mason]] in Charlotte, North Carolina, RPW was at the forefront of a trend of smaller, non-touring wrestling companies in 2003 and 2004.

==Championships==

===RPW Championship===
A rarity in the world of Championships, The RPW Championship was not designed to be, nor thought to be an "end all, be all" championship, despite the holders of the belt being known as some of the best wrestlers of their day.

===The Eclipse Championship===
Founded to highlight and showcase the insane spot-fest activity of the lighter wrestlers on the roster, the Eclipse belt was thought of by some wrestlers as the belt in RPW.

===The Mid-South Championship===
A throwback to the NWA:Crockett and UWF days, the Mid-South Championship was all about wrestling, wrestling, and nothing but the wrestling, a direct opposite from the much spot and pop focused Eclipse Championship.

==Owners==
Despite it's short tenure, RPW had no less than three owners. Rush Mason and his benefactor were first, Mason being the on camera head of RPW, then suddenly selling the company to [[Little Al]], rumored to be a second generation wrestler, and son of a very well known wrestler, seeking his father's approval. At 16 years of age, Little Al proved to be an incapable owner, and Rush Mason's benefactor, [[Xavier Kannon]] came forward at Adrenaline 18 to take over the company he founded, albeit as a defacto fedhead.

Kannon owned RPW until it's closure.
