Donald Haviland (born December 7, 1973 in Baltimore, Maryland)[2] is an American professional wrestler, better known by his ring name, Hack Meyers. He is best known for his time spent wrestling in Extreme Championship Wrestling throughout the early 1990s.
Career
Haviland made his wrestling debut as Bronco Billy,[3] forming a tag team with Colt Starr known as The Texas Longhorns.[4] He wrestled in independent promotions for the next three years before signing with Extreme Championship Wrestling.
Following his ECW debut in 1993 as Hack Meyers, he was a well known wrestler in that promotion. Working with several other top wrestlers there, including Terry Funk and having several well developed feuds, he gained a good level of recognition with fans and wrestlers alike. Haviland's gimmick in ECW was "The Shah of ECW". During an exchange of blows, fans would chant "Shah!" Every time he landed a punch or kick, and "Shit!" when his opponent retaliated.[citation needed] A similar gimmick was later inherited by Balls Mahoney.
Meyers' first major appearance was at Ultimate Jeopardy 1994, an ECW supercard. He teamed with Don E. Allen and Blue Max in a handicap match against 911, which 911 won.[5] His final appearance in ECW was a loss to Too Cold Scorpio in a Loser Leaves Town match at November To Remember 1996.[6]
Since leaving ECW he has remained in the wrestling industry, training "The Black Nature Boy" Scoot Andrews and Travis Tomko.[2][7] He now wrestles predominantly in the Florida independent circuit, including Florida Championship Wrestling.
