The Nightmares

The Nightmares is a post-punk/gothic rock bank from Jihlava, Czech Republic. The band became a publicly known group shortly after the Velvet Revolution in 1989, whose original members were Roman Prochazka, Martin Turek, Petra Komarkova and Michal Neuhoffer. Their then mission was to formulate the post-communist expression of reminiscent darkness and liberal forward-looking optimism into a musical message. The Nightmares toured the Czech Republic, Germany, UK and other countries formerly inaccessible to them, played to radio audiences and released a compilation of tracks on CD.

The Nightmares (professional wrestling)

The Nightmares were a wrestling tag team consisting of Danny Davis and Ken Wayne.

History

Danny Davis and Ken Wayne began teaming up as the masked Nightmares in 1981 in Continental Wrestling Association in Memphis. In 1982, they went up to Canada to wrestle for Stampede Wrestling. It wasn't until August 1984 when they won their first championship together, the AWA Southern Tag Team Championship, defeating The Rock 'n' Roll Express. They would hold onto the titles for nearly a month, before losing them to Dutch Mantel and Tommy Rich. In 1985, they moved over to the Gulf Coast area to wrestle for Continental Championship Wrestling. In November 1985, they lost their masks to Tommy and Johnny Rich. Together in Continental, they won three NWA Southeastern Tag Team Championships and two NWA Southeast Continental Tag Team Championships. After losing the titles in May 1988, the Nightmares broke up and embarked in a heated rivalry over the NWA Southeastern United States Junior Heavyweight Championship, which lasted until Wayne left the promotion at the end of 1988.
