Darren Wyse

Recent years A longtime mainstay of Hardway Wrestling, an Allentown-based promotion owned by the tag team the Bad Crew, Wyse held the HW Hardcore Championship after defeating D-Man Davidson at Summer Spectacular in Northampton, Pennsylvania on July 11, 2003. He held the title for nearly a year before losing the title back to Davidson on June 30, 2004. Wyse and The Hungarian Barbarian began teaming together and won the tag team titles from the Bad Crew at the Farmerama Arena in Allentown on September 5. They had previously faced each other in a 12-man Barbed Wire Steel Cage match at Cage Terror I between Bad Crew, Tiny, Pinky, and George Anthony vs. Adam Flash, L.A. Smooth, Danny Rose, Jay Love and Running Bear. This match was later released by the promotion as Best of EWF, Vol. 1 on DVD. He and Wyse were also featured in the NCW Hottie's & Bodies calendar which included Adam Flash, Mike Quackenbush, Greg Matthews, Tom Brandi, Danny Rose and King Kong Bundy.

On April 22, 2006, he and The Hungarian Barbarian faced longtime rivals Bad Crew in a 3-way Dance with Romeo Valentino & Cotton The Bad Butcher in Spring Grove, Pennsylvania. This was one of Cotton The Bad Butcher's first matches in over two years since his injury by The Hungarian Barbarian.

On April 19, 2008, he and Wyse faced the United Kingdom's Andrew Bates on the first night of NCW's Ballroom Blitz tour in a no disqualification match with his manager The Chippendale Judge at the Tourist Inn in Hallam, Pennsylvania. The Patriot also appeared on the show. Their match would later be broadcast on the pilot episode of NCW's television show hosted by Wyse and "Chippendale" Judge Lawless.

In their first official title defense at The Heart of Rock And Roll Supercard, they faced The Backseat Boyz (Trent Acid & Johnny Kashmere) and Team VD (Eddie Valentine & John Dahmer) in a "Three Team Tango" match held at the York County School of Technology on May 23. This was also the reunion of Trent and Kashmere who had not wrestled as a tag team in over a year. The show also featured Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, Ricky Morton, Doink the Clown, Axl Rotten and Ruckus.

In August 2008, Wyse and his tag team partner received tryout matches for World Wrestling Entertainment Two of Wyse's students were also offered invites to appear during these shows. The following year, Wyse announced his retirement and wrestled his last match, in front of a turn-away crowd at a special NCW show entitled Final Night in Boots at the York County School of Technology. He teamed with Paul "Fat Paulie" Olesak, Jr. and The Hungarian Barbarian, also retiring with Wyse, in a Tables Ladders Chairs six-man tag team match.

Darren came out of retirement for one night only to be a participant in the "Trent Acid Memorial Rumble" at AcidFest, a tribute show on July 10, 2010, to honor the late Trent Acid at the old ECW Arena.
