Turnbuckle Turmoil
Damian Cole makes a special appearance on Turnbuckle Turmoil
Midwest wrestling star Damian Cole makes a very special appearance on Turnbuckle Turmoil. He's a veteran of the ring and has appeared on cards of several midwest independent promotions. He is also helping to train a lot of the young stars that are making their way up the ladder today. DC has been both loved by fans and hated by fans, but he's always given the fans their money's worth whenever he performed in front of them.
