Philip Lafond (born September 16, 1961) is a former Canadian professional wrestler also known as Dan Kroffat (taking this name from the original Dan Kroffat) in Japan, Montreal and ECW, Phil Lafleur in Stampede Wrestling, Phil Lafon in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and Rocky Venturo in Pacific Northwest Wrestling. A longtime mainstay of All Japan Pro Wrestling with tag team partner Doug Furnas, the duo joined ECW in late 1996, having a classic series of matches against Sabu and Rob Van Dam. A few months later, both men made their WWF debuts on November 17, 1996 at the Survivor Series Pay-Per-View. After being underutilized, they returned to ECW in late 1997, and won the ECW World Tag Team Title from the F.B.I. Their reign would not last long, however, as they went on to lose the belts to Chris Candido and Lance Storm.
