After escaping a scene where he was mere inches away from death, Daniel Garcia is now thriving in professional wrestling.
The 22-year-old phenom from Buffalo wrestles Lee Moriarty Saturday in the opening round of Limitless Wrestling’s Vacationland Cup. Garcia plans to put on the match of the night, showcasing a relentless style that leaves no doubt the future of the industry rests in his gifted hands.
Yet, despite his blossoming success, this was all precariously close to never happening.
Following a January 2019 show in Montreal, a car packed with four members of indie wrestling’s “Buffalo Brothers”—Garcia, Kevin Bennett, Puf and Kevin Blackwood—were making their trek back to New York when the car slid on black ice, violently splitting in half after smashing into a guardrail.
