Dave Milan

Dave Milan (born Dave George Milan, April 4th 1988) is a professional wrestler currently inactive due to personal issues. He is the current holder of

the Underground Global Promotions Iron Knuckle championship (Formerly the Underground Pro Iron Knuckle championship) which he has kept with him even

after leaving UgP.

Before Pro
Born and raised in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, Pa, Dave Milan never dreamed of being a professional wrestler, nor being in any sports at all. Dave grew up the

smallest in his class, always shorter than the other boys and never particularly strong. He was good-looking though, one thing some of his peers did not

have. As he reached his High School, Milan was looking around for something to join to make some new friends. A fan of pro wrestling growing up, he joined

his school’s wrestling team. He lasted one season there until he tore a ligament in his left knee. His career there wasn’t anything impressive, but it made

him feel the passion of the game.

OCW
As he nursed his knee, Dave studied the game. He enjoyed the technical matches, and almost began to create imaginary matches that could be considered four

stars. When his knee finally healed, he back doing training (Nothing too serious). He figured it’d be something to look into. When he turned 18 he joined up

with OCW. He found that his knowledge of technical wrestling had well prepared him, and Milan began creating in-ring classics. His series with The Chief and

Camachokid were some of the greatest matches OCW had seen. Around the time Dave lost his second Television championship, the company was in shambles and

going in multiple directions. Milan, fed up with the lack of direction, quit OCW very unprofessionally as he stopped showing up for matches or communicating

with any member of the staff. Backstage Dave had always been very well liked, and was considered a go-to guy for putting someone over. The uncharacteristic

exit of Milan shook the entire company and caused many wrestlers to take notice. OCW officials decided to sell out the company to an independent owner when

many of the superstars realized Dave did the right thing and asked for their releases.

Underground Pro
OCW was purchased by J. Hector Banks, who was looking to create something different. His creation was Underground Pro, which rose like a phoenix from the

ashes of OCW. Many old OCW wrestlers and fans returned while newer ones poured in. Dave was contacted a few times by UgP before he finally decided to return

to his home company. During his stint at Underground Pro, Dave entered a feud with Camachokid for the second time in his wrestling career. The series of six

total singles matches between the two were considered better than their OCW feud and became the most watched matches of ugpwrestling.com. As the feud hit

it’s peak, Milan blew out his knee which sidelined him for a few months. He cut a promo on the fans that was tinged with anger. Most considered this just to

be Milan angry about being sidelined.

UgP officials were worried about Dave’s decision to take his character heel. Milan wasn’t very big and couldn’t conceivably beat-up on faces like other heels

could. Dave’s decision turned out to be a good one. When he returned as a heel, he didn’t need to beat-up on any faces or act like an average heel. His

record of wins preceded him and Dave earned the nickname “The Outlaw” by cutting controversial promos on the company and the top faces.

Lion's Road Puroresu
As UgP officials decided to take the company on hiatus to retool things, Milan was on top of his game and better than ever. He joined Lion's Road puroresu

with the hopes of adapting to a puro enviroment quickly. While Milan proved to be an worthy competitor by winning his debut match, he didn't enjoy major

success at Lion's Road. He was involved with the losing team in most of his tag matches, but the losses came from his opponent's mistakes; not his.

Wrestling Maneuvers
Finishing Moves
 * The End (Set up like a DDT, user jumps into the air and comes down on their knees, spiking the opponents head)
 * "The Fuckin' End" (No official name) (The same as the above move, except instead of landing on both knees, user lands on only one knee and spikes

opponents head into his other knee. Never used in an official match or mentioned in a wrestling ring. The move is used as a last resort limit break move.

Discovered in a training promo of Milan's by fans, given the name "The Fuckin' End" since no name really exsists)
