Previously in his career, A Very Good Professional Wrestler had been known as the affable <strong>Dasher Hatfield<\/strong>.

Over the period since COVID-19 shut the world down for a while and CHIKARA&#8217;s unexpected closure due to the Speaking Out movement, the former Dasher Hatfield has taken the time to christen himself A Very Good Professional Wrestler. Since independent wrestling has returned to some degree, he&#8217;s challenged <strong>WARHORSE<\/strong> for the Independent Wrestling.TV Championship at <strong>Black Label Pro<\/strong>. During the tournament, the Workhorse ran the gauntlet, defeating Martin, Archadia, and KTB. Now A Very Good Professional Wrestler has added the ECWA Super 8 trophy to his resume.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Following winning the trophy, A Very Good Professional Wrestler decided to share the news of where to see him next. Fresh off this big win, he&#8217;s headed to <strong>New South Pro Wrestling<\/strong> on November 11th to face the very best wrestler they have to offer.
