Daniel Christopher Covell (born December 24, 1971 in Fayetteville, North Carolina) is an American professional wrestler better known by his ring name, “The Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels. Currently performing for Total Nonstop Action as Curry Man, Daniels previously competed for Ring of Honor. Known as one of the founding fathers of ROH, Daniels wrestled there from February 2002 to January 2004, when he was forced to leave in the fall out of the Rob Feinstein controversy. After a sixteen month hiatus, Daniels returned in the summer of 2005, wrestling for two more years, during which he made two appearances as Curry Man, before leaving ROH for good in April 2008.
