Perhaps some knowledgable Christopher Daniels fans can help me out here. Is it true that the original "Fallen Angel" gimmick was that Daniels was a (kayfabe) priest that left the Church due to having a God Complex? Is this true? If not, what was the backstory of the original character? Any help would be appreciated.

Whatever the story is, I'm excited to hear it, because Christopher Daniels is probably my favorite guy in wrestling today.

Yeah, Daniels definitely used to wear a full-on Roman cassock as a robe to the ring. This seems like ages ago. I think it was dropped because of the all the Catholic priests molesting kids.

I remember that was his gimmick the first time I saw him work, maybe eight or nine years ago. Chad Collyer, who was working and training locally here at the time, was headed up to one of the "best of the indies" gigs, and would be working Daniels. He heaped loads of praise on him, and provided me with tapes he had, telling me that, "you just have to see this guy go". So I did, and became hooked.
The gimmick was actually super freaking cool, and I miss seeing it.

first time i heard of chris daniels was on live audio wrestling, and they had all of their interviews logged (not anymore) and it was him, joe e. legend (just joe) and reckless youth in their interviews, so i checked out the interview, he sounded cool, than when i saw the mike modest match (which i knew from beyond the mat) i was marking the hell out, cause this is when i first started become a bit of a smart mark
