Recently Retired Wrestler Returns with New Gimmick
Following his retirement match against Hangman Page, former AEW Head of Talent Relations Christopher Daniels brings back his Curry Man persona at Jericho Cruise.
Following his retirement from AEW after a Texas Death Match against Hangman Page last month, Christopher Daniels brought back the Curry Man character during this year’s Jericho Cruise. The revival marks a return to a persona Daniels first created in 1999 during Michinoku Pro’s 2nd Masked Man League Tournament.
The Curry Man character gained notable recognition during Daniels’ time in TNA, where he presented a distinctly different style from his established Fallen Angel persona. The masked character represented a departure from his serious in-ring presentation, developing a following among fans through its unique presentation.
Daniels, who served as AEW Head of Talent Relations, concluded his in-ring career with the company following the bout against Page before making this appearance as his comedic alter ego.
