Dustin Howard
American professional wrestler from Murray, Kentucky known as Chuck Taylor and best known for his work in CHIKARA, IWA Mid-South and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla. Started at age 15 but couldn't legally wrestle in his home state until he turned 18. Arrived in CHIKARA in 2007 and joined Team F.I.S.T. (with Icarus (Ronald Grams) and Gran Akuma (Edward Jones)), who were part of the Kings of Wrestling. Over his time in CHIKARA, he won the Young Lions Cup IV tournament, held the CHIKARA Campeonatos de Parejas twice with Johnny Gargano as Team F.I.S.T., won the 2009 King of Trios with Icarus and Akuma, and won the inaugural Rey de Voladores (King of Flyers) tournament, in 2007. He has also held the IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Title twice, the IWA Mid-South Light Heavyweight Title twice and defeated Mickie Knuckles for the IWA Mid-South Women's Title, as well as finding success in a variety of other promotions. In 2015, he announced his "retirement." At "National Pro Wrestling Day 2016," February 6, 2016, he announced that he had "lost" the rights to the name "Chuck Taylor." Stokely Hathaway, a manager in Ring of Honor, announced that now he was to be called "Chuck Taylor." The original Chuck Taylor returned later that night and announced his new name of "Scoot Tatum." He has since used the names "Rick Beanbag," "Bugg Nevans" and many others. This only applies to CHIKARA, as he has continued to use the name Chuck Taylor in other promotions. Along with wrestling as Chuck Taylor in CHIKARA, he has also used the masked gimmick of Mr. Azerbaijan, which debuted at the May 25, 2013 Wrestling is Fun! event "WiF! An Apeeling Dawn." In that role, he formed the team the Bloc Party with the Proletariat Boar of Moldova and the Brown Morning of Belarus, the latter whom was replaced by Prakash Sabar after the Estonian Thunderfrog destroyed him with his Hammer of War at "National Pro Wrestling Day 2014" on February 2, 2014.

    • Trivia
      The Mr. Azerbaijan gimmick is based on Billy Gunn (Monty Sopp)'s "Mr. Ass" gimmick, as part of the DeGeneration X-inspired Bloc Party. He is unofficially nicknamed "Mr. Azz". This actually came into play during his match with UltraMantis Black at "CHIKARA For British Eyes Only," where Azerbaijan hurt his butt and that actually became the focus of UltraMantis Black's offense.
