Johnny Yager

Johnny Yager was an active member of the XAWA roster, played by Daniel Hager. He first debuted in 2005 as Tusk in AWA, later changing his name to Big D. After an ACL injury shelved him in 2006, he was absent for the entire rest of the AWA's shelf life.

He returned in late 2011 and formed Bong Tokin' Alcoholics with Hitman Cox, a partnership he would keep for the rest of the season. Once that partnership dissolved in 2012, he formed 100 Proof with American Hillbilly. He would, however, have to drop out due to injury for three months.

He returned in a winning effort against Kristian Sane at Highway to Hell.

The character is played as a foil to Hitman's stoner gimmick, since the character is an alcoholic, to the point where he usually stumbles through the curtain into matches.

Death
On the September 23, 2012 edition of LiveWire, it was announced that Daniel Hager (who played the character of Yager) had passed away of apparent heart failure. The episode in question opened with a ten-bell salute to him, and the entirety of the 2012 Extreme Behavior event was dedicated to his memory. Hitman Cox and American Hillbilly used Johnny's entrance music ("Johnny's Gotta Problem" by Kottonmouth Kings) during both the LiveWire and Extreme Behavior shows.
