Wow. Remember him well. There were rumors Stephanie was really high on him when he entered developmental.

He even ran for Congress a few years back.

If I remember right this dude was absolutely hated here back in the day. Good ol Johnny Ace generic bodybuilder era.

One of those guys rumoured to be in line for a big push which never materialised. I remember him most for the comedy accents while running for office where he became different flavours of cowboy despite being from New Jersey, not thinking anyone would notice.
It's not the first time he's had the finger pointed at him for assault, it seems to have been a repeated pattern of behaviour with him, but he's big, handsome and well connected so never suffered any consequences.

Looks like he turned himself in and is no longer on the run.

If he didn't embody everything wrong with WWE developmental and talent scouting in the mid-aughts, I don't know who would.

He even ran for Congress a few years back. He also came within 3% of winning. Crazy

“Should have called up his no good Commie friend Kim Jong Un for protection, brother!”
Uh..that’s Dennis…you know the guy that you teamed with in WCW a few times.
“Nah, brother it’s definitely Dan I wrestled him at Collision In Korea and now there’s pictures of the Hulkster all around Pyongyang, dude.”

Say what you will about his ability, at least he had a distinct look: the lovechild of Scott Steiner and Goldberg.

This guy was one of the absolute funniest busts of the Ruthless Aggression era. Stephanie McMahon thought he was going to be the next big thing because he had massive muscles and smirked a lot so looked heelish, but overlooked the fact that he was a shit wrestler and charisma vacuum. Doing jobs on Heat to Eugene and Val Venis was about his level.
Turns out he's an even worse bloke.

It's not the first time he's had the finger pointed at him for assault, it seems to have been a repeated pattern of behaviour with him, but he's big, handsome and well connected so never suffered any consequences. I believe the rumor was Steph was really going to bat for him cause of his look, and that it got as far as having plans for him to debut on Raw and get pushed. However during a creative meeting people finally told Vince that he was nowhere near ready for the main roster which caused Vince to flip out asking why they wasted time coming up with ideas for him? He was immediately squashed by Mark Henry in OVW.

Remember when he wrestled John Cena in the main event of a house show?
And then he was fired a few months later?
Mid-2000s WWE was really weird.

And it seems like he killed a man who was wrongly imprisoned for 20 years on a murder charge. A weird mash up of people in this story.
Wrestler turned Republican turned murderer. Quite a path there Dan.
