Curry Man


Curry Man is the alter ego of Daniel Christopher Covell.
Covell was born December 24, 1972, in Fayetteville, North Carolina. He is an American professional wrestler, best known in the United States by his ring name "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels. He currently wrestles as Curry Man in TNA Wrestling and Japan.

Curry Man is a gimmick created by Jinsei Shinzaki ( a Japanese professional wrestler ) and based on Curry Cook, a character in the Kinnikuman manga. You may have seen these Kinnikuman characters as " M.U.S.C.L.E." here in the US.
Daniels made his first appearances in America as Curry Man, starting with his match against Shingo Takagi at Dragon Gate Invasion in August 2005, during his time with ROH.

On the December 6th edition of TNA Impact!, Daniels beat Senshi in a match for his Feast or Fired briefcase, refereed by Elix Skipper. On the following week's show, it was revealed that Daniels' briefcase contained the pink slip, immediately causing him to be fired from TNA Wrestling. A month later, Daniels returned making the TNA debut of his masked Curry Man persona, going on to team up regularly with Shark Boy. He went on to feud with Team 3D and winning the Fishmarket Street Fight against them.On the March 13, 2008 Impact, Curry Man qualified for the Xscape Match for the X Division Title at Lockdown by beating Petey Williams. At Lockdown, he fought Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt, Shark Boy, Consequences Creed and Johnny Devine. Curry Man eliminated Creed from the match after delivering the Spice Rack ( (Backbreaker rack dropped into either a facebuster or a DDT). He was later eliminated by Devine via the Devine Intervention. Curry Man competed in the TerrorDome match at TNA Sacrifice, but the eventual winner was Kaz. After that Curry Man, along with Shark Boy and Super Eric, began a comedic stable called "The Prince Justice Brotherhood".
