[edit] Career
Hankinson began his career in Pennsylvania with the World Star Wrestling Federation (AWA/World Star Wrestling) and Maryland-based National Wrestling League, wrestling as Dorian Deville. In April 2005, he was signed to a contract by World Wrestling Entertainment and assigned to the Deep South Wrestling (DSW) developmental territory, where he formed a partnership with Palmer Cannon. Hankinson wrestled in DSW as Deacon Deville before changing his ring name to The Freakin' Deacon.
On May 29, 2006, the Wrestling Observer reported that Hankinson debuted on WWE RAW, confronting Kane while dressed in Kane's original ring attire, complete with a full face mask. Without saying a word, Hankinson chokeslammed Kane. The two continued to battle one another over subsequent weeks, the impersonator continually gaining the upper hand, leading to a match being scheduled for Vengeance 2006. Hankinson went on to defeat Kane at Vengeance with a Chokeslam From Hell followed by a Tombstone Piledriver. On the following episode of RAW, Hankinson was beaten down by the real Kane, who then tore the mask from his face and threw him out of the arena, claiming that the mask was his. This marked Hankinson's last appearance on RAW.
Following his feud with Kane, Hankinson returned to Deep South Wrestling, in addition to appearing at SmackDown! house shows as The Freakin' Deacon.
