It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of "The Handgun" Daniel King.
On behalf of South Plains Championship Wrestling, we want to extend our deepest condolences to Daniel's family, friends, and the countless fans and wrestlers whose lives he touched throughout his career.
For me personally, I can still remember attending my very first live independent wrestling show as a 16 year old fan in my hometown of Brownfield, Texas and watching Daniel King perform in my school gym. His character work made me believe in pro wrestling again that night. In many ways, seeing him perform helped inspire me to begin pursuing my own journey behind the curtain.
Through the years, every interaction I had with Dan was met with kindness, respect, and professionalism. His legacy will live on through the memories he created and the people he inspired.
Rest In Peace, Daniel King.
