Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Norman Anthony Smiley (born 28 February 1965) is a retired British Professional Wrestler and trainer best known for his time in WCW from the late 1990s until the promotion's demise in 2001. He started his career in Florida in 1985 after training at the Malenko family's school. He made his PPV debut teaming with Chris Adams as Team United Kingdom in a losing effort against Team Mexico (Konnan and Rey Misterio Sr.) in the Pat O'Connor Memorial Tag Team Tournament at NWA Starrcade 90. He first made his name in Mexico as Black Magic. He made a few appearances for ECW in 1995, teaming with Mikey Whipwreck in losing efforts against Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko. He spent years Jobbing in WCW before he finally caught on with the audience competing in the hardcore division. He would hold the WCW Hardcore Title twice, with his gimmick being that he really didn't want to do hardcore matches and didn't want the title. After WCW died, he competed in a variety of promotions, including making some on-and-off appearances for TNA in between 2002 and 2007. He has also competed for AAA, MLW, Juggalo Championship Wrestling, WWE (some dark [non-televised] matches), Future Of Wrestling, Dragon Gate and several others in Mexico, the U.S. and Japan. He had an onscreen role as a lieutenant general manager and liaison to Steve Keirn in WWE's FCW developmental promotion, and also worked offscreen as a trainer. He now works full-time as a trainer for WWE's NXT developmental territory.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Dirty Coward: The point of his "Screamin" gimmick, though it again failed to get the WCW audience to turn against him.

Diabolus ex Machina: The medium through which the FCW higher ups delivered Dusty Finishes while he was liaison to the FCW president. Just ask Seth Rollins.

Funny foreigner: WCW's attempts to give Normal smiley lasting heel heat never achieved long-term success, so he was really a baby face evil Brit most of the time.

Black Magic: He actually used this as his ring name for a time, and it doubles as a Red Baron.

Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: He looks like probably the least threatening person ever(even before his cowardly gimmick), but he is actually a tough guy in real life with a lot of solid experience, and he once KO'ed Rick Steiner with one punch!
