Don "DC" Drake (born September 16, 1957) is a former professional wrestler. He became the Heavyweight Champion for the National Wrestling Federation and Tri-State Wrestling Alliance which later became Extreme Championship Wrestling. DC Drake was trained for the sport of wrestling by Tito Torres of Jersey City, New Jersey. Drake credits Torres for teaching him not only the physical piece of professional wrestling but helped prepare him for the mental toughness needed to endure the wrestling profession. Torres's training helped Drake secure many preliminary wrestling events with organizations throughout the New York and New Jersey area. Drake's first big break came with Mario and Joe Salvoldi, two well known wrestling promoters who headed up major independent promotions. Wrestling as Don Stallion, Drake faced off with stars such as Carlos Colon, Jerry Lawler and Ric Flair (at Roosevelt Park on Long Island, NY).
