Aptly nicknamed "Warrior", Daniel Singh's life story is a heroic tale in itself. Born in Durham, England, Singh played rugby during 2001 at the age of 14. It was then that he suffered a broken neck injury resulting in paralysis. Despite having no guarantees of ever recovering any mobility, Singh committed himself to an 8-month rehabilitation program that was rewarded with total recovery from his injury. Although mobile once more, Singh was a victim of another plaguing obstacle in the form of obesity. With immense determination and dedication, Singh took up healthy exercise through basketball and weight-lifting. He spent 3 or 4 years working in health clubs and earned many qualifications during that time. Around the age of 20 in 2007, Singh began a career in professional wrestling, having trained with the likes of Elix Skipper and Mr. Hughes. He also contacted Sky 1 for a role on its revival of the Gladiators series. Initially, he was assigned as a reservist, with the stage name of "Thunder", before joining the 2008 series, where in he appeared under the stage name "Warrior". Standing an impressive and athletic 6'3" and weighing a strict 238 lbs (or 17 stones), Singh excelled in the show's Suspension Bridge and Earthquake competitions. During 2010, he signed a developmental contract with World Wrestling Entertainment. After a year, he returned home to the UK where he continued to wrestle for the remainder of November 2011. Home in the UK, Singh signed with MMA promotion Super Fight League (SFL) to compete as a heavyweight (265 lbs). Professional wrestling and Mixed Martial Arts competition was only the tip of the iceberg for this warrior. In 2014, Singh made his acting debut in the action drama series 24: Live Another Day. True to his nickname, Singh's warrior spirit exemplifies the rewards of determination and dedication to accomplish any goal he sets for himself. Show less «
