Darren Burns is an Irish professional wrestler currently based in Canada.

He began his career at the age of nineteen, training with Ireland's ''Fight Factory Pro Wrestling'' (alma mater of Wrestling/BeckyLynch and Wrestling/FergalDevitt). He made his debut shortly after, facing future WWE star Jordan Devlin under the name '''Kid Krazy''' - but took a break for a few years.

He returned to wrestling 2013 as part of Wrestling/CelticChampionshipWrestling now under the gimmick of 'The Messiah' '''Xavier Burns''' - a DarkMessiah who soon became part of the PowerStable The Establishment. During this time he became CCW All Star Champion. In 2016 he relocated to Canada, and adopted a new gimmick of 'The Irish Hooligan' '''Danno Burns'''. He is the reigning RCW Social Media Champion.

* EvilFeelsGood: He was positively giddy whenever he did something bad.
* TheEvilGenius: He filled this role in The Establishment.
* FaceHeelTurn: In CCW he debuted as a friendly DarkIsNotEvil babyface, but turned heel to become an obnoxious arrogant cheater.

* FullNameUltimatum: In their feud, he insisted on calling Ricky Combat 'Richard'.
* GreenAndMean: As the Irish Hooligan he wears a green jersey to the ring.
