## Background

Mathias Danielson (born July 5, 1998) is an Irish professional wrestler, known professionally as MD. He is best known for his appearances in promotions such as Resurrection Pro Wrestling, Ring of Excellence, the Xtreme Wrestling Association, International Elite Wrestling, New Generation Wrestling and the Created Wrestlers League.

## Early Life

Before Danielson could start wrestling professionally, he needed training from a professional. Luckily, he didn't have to look very far as his trainer for the next 3 years would be his own father, Stephen Danielson. His father was a decorated wrestler in his own right, being a gifted technician and grappler who won a few titles in WCW and the WWF. By the time he retired in 2005, he was a 3x WCW United States Champion, 2x WWF European Champion and a 2x WWE Intercontinental Champion. Some of his biggest rivalries included ones against William Regal, D'Lo Brown and Shelton Benjamin.

In late 2016, after receiving plenty of training from his father and now being the legal age to wrestle, Danielson moved out of his father's gym in Belfast, Ireland and moved to the United States of America, hoping to the hit the big time.

## CWL (2020-2022)

At Vindication 3.27, MD would debut and fight in a losing effort against Dr Wrestling Jr, later followed by another losing effort against Tommy Gunn. At Battle Lines 3, MD would be partnered up with Damian Knight and the two would win a Tag-Team Matchup against Rising Sun, Scott Smith & Ryot, guaranteeing them a Tag Team Championship Match at Titan Clash. From then on, they referred to themselves as The Punishers. At Titan Clash, MD & Damian Knight would successfully defeat The Disciples and become the Tag Team Champions. However, at Supremacy 3, they would lose their titles to The Warboys. After this loss, MD would take a prolonged break from the CWL.

3 Months after leaving the CWL, MD came back, rejuvenated and with a new sense of purpose. He competed in a Triple Threat with Max Shearman & Korey Quinn. Max would pin MD and win, but MD didn't let the loss keep him down as he vowed to become a successful singles star.

A few months after this, MD would get his chance at the Zero Hour PPV, when he finally got his shot at the YouTube Champion, Xistro Horror in his home country of Ireland. The two had a massive and quick paced match, with MD shockingly defeating Xistro and became the new CWL YouTube Champion. This would mark the first time he won a singles title in the CWL and the first time he won a title ever since he split up from Damian Knight back in April of that same year. He would successfully defend the belt for 147 days before losing it.

This would be the last piece of singles gold MD would ever hold in the company, as his other two titles matches for the Vindication Heavyweight and Twitch Championships both ended with him staring up at the lights. MD's efforts would not go without recognition, as he would soon be nominated for CWL Breakout Star Of The Year Award. While he didn't win the award, he placed 3rd overall in the votes. Unfortunately, the CWL would later close it's doors on the 11th of August, 2022.
