This is a place where safety standards of professional wrestling are tossed out the window in exchange for a gruesome and brutal brand of the product. It’s certainly not something for the weak of heart. Havoc himself was known for mixing his technical wrestling prowess with a capability to inflict gory pain upon his opponents.
You can understand his career by just appreciating the fact that he was set on fire in his debut match for Combat Zone Wrestling. Havoc would go on to have two runs with the CZW Ultraviolent Underground Championship, one with the World Junior Heavyweight Championship, and two with the promotion’s World Tag Team Championships.
How have the WWE Superstars reacted to the death of Danny Havoc?
The entire wrestling world mourned the sad demise of Havoc. He has worked with many main stream names like WWE Superstars Kevin Owens and Drew Gulak, as well as Impact Wrestling star Sami Callihan.

He put 100% of himself into everything he created. That's why on whatever platform he was on he shined. I could honestly go on and on, but I won't here. I want to spread some joy here because whenever I talk about my friend Danny Havoc, Grant, that's what it was.

I’m so sorry for Danny Havoc’s family, friends and fans.
I didn’t know him well but all I’ve ever heard about him throughout the years painted him as a passionate, kind-hearted guy.
The pro wrestling community has lost yet another good one…
Take care of each other, guys. ❤️
