Christopher Daniel Covell was born on March 24, 1970, in Kalamazoo, Michigan. His family later moved to Fayetteville, North Carolina, where he developed an early interest in professional wrestling. He earned a degree in theater from Methodist College, initially considering a career in acting before pursuing professional wrestling. Daniels made his debut in April 1993 after training under Sam DeCero, Mike Anthony, and Kevin Quinn. His early career included stints with Windy City Pro Wrestling, where he won the WCPW Light Heavyweight Championship and WCPW Tag Team Championship. He also competed in Puerto Rico for the World Wrestling Council, winning the WWC World Tag Team Championship in 1995 with Kevin Quinn.
Daniels gained significant experience across various independent circuits and international promotions. He wrestled for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) multiple times between 1998 and 2001, often appearing as an independent talent or in masked roles like Los Conquistadores. He also had a tryout with World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in 2000 and was offered a contract, though the company’s sale to WWF prevented further appearances. Daniels is recognized for his versatile in-ring personas, including the masked character Curry Man, which he developed while wrestling in Japan and later brought to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA).
His career saw progression through major promotions like Ring of Honor (ROH) and TNA. In 2002, Daniels joined the newly formed TNA, where he became a prominent figure in the X Division and a multiple-time NWA World Tag Team Champion. He also played a key role in ROH, where he was involved in significant storylines and held the ROH World Television Championship and ROH World Tag Team Championship. Daniels eventually joined All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in 2019, where he contributed both as an in-ring performer and in an executive capacity, becoming Head of Talent Relations. He retired from in-ring competition in January 2025, maintaining his backstage role and beginning a new chapter as a manager for the Sky Flight stable in AEW.
