Is the Kiss Demon from wrestling included in the Kiss universe? To most, the answer is an easy one, but to diehard Kiss fans, I'm not sure.
Wrestling's Kiss Demon was Dale Torborg, longtime Major League Baseball coach and son of former MLB player and manager Jeff. World Championship Wrestling partnered with Kiss to create a wrestler and have Kiss play a concert at a WCW show. It was a unique partnership, although it didn;t last long. Dale did continue using the gimmick for a while. That's why he appeared at Squared Circle Expo in 2023.
SCX is a fantastic wrestling convention featuring wrestling legends and current stars. It returns to Indianapolis March 27-28.
Back to the Kiss Demon, many fans will collect anything and everything Kiss-related. Obviously, the Kiss Demon appeals to those folks.
Kiss purists might argue he was not a member of Kiss and therefore outside of their collecting interests. Some really elite fans only want the four original Kiss members. Collectors can be a picky bunch.
Either way, Dale as the Demon was a popular guest at SCX. he appeared as himself and in makeup, pleasing all fans, including baseball fans like me.
