Career

Hager, using the name Dan Greer, began teaming with Eric Embry as the Fabulous Blonds, replacing Ken Timbs in the Southwest Championship Wrestling (SCW) tag team. They won the SCW Southern Tag Team Championship twice. Hager also replaced Ken Timbs, once again, in the Fabulous Fargo tag team in World Organization of Wrestling in 1987. He also formed a long time tag team with Johnny "Bam Bam" Reeves known as The Boogie Woogie Men. They won the Mountain Wrestling Association (MWA) tag titles multiple times.

As a singles star, Hager was one of the most popular in central Kentucky. In 1995, Hager purchased Mountain Wrestling Association (MWA) from Dale Mann, but sold it in 1998. In 1999 Hager got back into the wrestling game by starting Universal Wrestling Alliance (UWA). UWA also never reached the success of the MWA and eventually folded in 2001. Hager retired permanently in 2001.

Personal life

Hager was married to a former professional wrestler, Miss Cricket. Hager had three children, two sons and a daughter. At the time of his death, Hager had five grandchildren.

Hager died from cancer on December 26, 2003.
