Bio:

A keen graduate of the KPW "Wild 4 Wrestling" training school, Donahue applied himself to learning the ins and outs of being a referee so that he could fulfil his dream of being part of a professional wrestling company.

As something of a "rib" crossed with a "sink or swim" approach, for his debut at KPW's "February’s Feud" in 2010, Donahue was assigned to referee matches featuring some of the wildest, most unpredictable wrestlers on the KPW roster. It was a locker room joke at the time that he'd be earning "danger money" for his difficult debut, so "Danger" became Alex Donahue's (kind of) middle name!

To everyone's pleasant surprise, (everyone, that is, apart from those wrestlers who thought they'd have a brand new official to push around) Donahue rose to the occasion and managed to keep the lid on matches involving some of the meanest KPW stars that ever walked an aisle, styled, profiled or chewed a ring rope.

Defying the odds, the so-called "Danger Man" had arrived in KPW and despite being the newest addition to the refereeing staff, he was determined to do his job to the best of his ability. However, at KPW’s “Hometown Challenge” in Whanganui in May 2010, Donahue encountered his first set-back when he rushed to the ring to deliver a three count on then-champion Max “the Axe” Damage when the assigned referee was thrown out of the ring during the course of the match. Donahue’s count should have meant that H-Flame became the new KPW Champion, but KPW Senior Referee Daniel Martins overturned Donahue’s decision and declared the final fall a “no contest”, meaning the match was a draw. Booed and humiliated by the fans then roughed up by an irate H-Flame, Donahue retreated to the back.

Since that time Donahue showed an open resentment towards Senior Referee Martins and indeed towards KPW fans in general. So much so, that when he saw a Wilba Force-sized hole on the KPW commentary table, Donahue leapt at the chance to inject a little “Vitamin A” into KPW commentary. To the pleasant surprise of KPW management, Donahue proved to be eloquent and vocal on the mic, even though he does tend to cheer on the bad guys perhaps a little too much to be called objective. One thing’s for sure - he's never at a loss for words!
