* DoesNotLikeShoes: Its a tossup as to whether Delirious will be wrestling in footwear or not. And being who he is, Delirious may make one experience [[IKissYourFoot close and prolonged exposure]] to his bare feet. And given how much running he does, those feet ''will'' stink.

* WeaponOfChoice: A wooden stake in GCW. The green mist everywhere. He brought the stake back in IWA Mid-South to use on Jimmy Jacobs in a first blood match.

** ROH's Survival of the Fittest, a series of qualification matches for an elimination match originally part of the Maryland Championship Wrestling's Shane Shamrock Memorial Cup before the RF video scandal caused MCW to leave, had become a tradition all its own by 2006. Due to Bryan Danielson and Samoa Joe's draw, Delirious had a smaller field to outlast than usual, them being Mark&Jay Briscoe, Austin Aries and Matt Sydal.

* WouldHitAGirl: If he was going to be true to the Ultimate Warrior, he had to go after "Wrestling/{{Sherri|Martel}}" at the ROH tribute show! Also when he was a part of Age Of The Fall, Delirious would attack women at Jimmy Jacob's command. Outside of those roles, Delirious is a lot more reluctant. His solution to Mike Bennet's meddling manager Wrestling/{{Maria|Kanellis}} was [[TakeThatKiss just to kiss her]], for example.

** Even after the Eye of Tyr broke, Delirious's handwriting and typing remain unintelligible, even moreso than his speech used to be...though if one looks at it hard enough, one can usually get the general idea even of what his text is trying to tell you.

* BadassBeard[=/=]BeardOfEvil: Depending on his face/heel alignment at the time. That beard has at times stretched down past his chest.

As usual, you can find the basics at [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delirious_(wrestler) The Other Wiki]].

* {{Brainwashing}} After losing to Ultra Mantis Black, Black's Spectral Envoy stablemates Hallowicked and Wrestling/{{Frightmare}} came out to celebrate the win. Delirious pulled out the Eye of Tyr and used it on them, turning them against Mantis.[[note]]The 2012 Season Premiere ''CHIKARA The Thirteenth Hat'' had begun with Mantis and Hallowicked finding Delirious, still in his [[Wrestling/DieBruderschaftDesKreuzes BDK]] gear, in a cave by some railroad tracks. Mantis told Delirious that the BDK was history (well, Tim Donst and Jakob Hammermeier were still hanging onto the name, though they would abandon it in June after GEKIDO surpassed them). Mantis used the Eye on Delirious and cast a spell, expecting that Delirious would join he and Hallowicked in the Spectral Envoy. Instead, Delirious grabbed the Eye, ran off, smashed it, and proclaimed in clear English, "I REMEMBER EVERYTHING!" He subsequently announced his intention to destroy Mantis in 2014 as retaliation for losing two years of his life to the Eye of Tyr, first due to Mantis in 2009 and then due to BDK leader Ares in 2010. At ''King of Trios 2014'', Jakob revealed that he had the Eye, never explaining how he got it, only alluding to a vague DealWithTheDevil.[[/note]] Hallowicked spoke Frightmare's name in clear English and they left together.

* PowerTrio: Incoherence after Wrestling/Frightmare joined him and Hallowicked

** [=Jiglirious=], with Wrestling/{{Jigsaw|Wrestling}}
** Incoherence, with Hallowicked, pre Wrestling/{{Frightmare}}.

* EvilMentor: To Wrestling/TheBatiri (Obariyon, Kodama and Kobald) as part of a world ending cult.

Delirious has gone on to compete for, among others, The International Wrestling Cartel, Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}}, Wrestling/DragonGate, Wrestling/{{TNA}}, Wrestling/ProWrestlingNOAH and Wrestling/RingOfHonor, where he is the head trainer at the ROH Wrestling Academy and a booker. Among his in-ring achievements, he is an Wrestling/{{N|ationalWrestlingAlliance}}WA Midwest X-Division Champion, a former 1x [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/pa/e/chikara/chikara-t.html CHIKARA Campeon de Parejas]] with Wrestling/{{Hallowicked}}, a 2x [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/ky/iwams/iwams-lh.html IWA Mid-South Light Heavyweight Champion]], a 2x [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/pa/w/iwc/iwc-si.html IWC Super Indy Champion]] and a 5x holder of Wrestling/LarrySweeney's [[http://www.cagematch.net/?id=5&nr=416 ICW/ICWA Tex-Arkana Television Title]].

* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: He adopted the dancing antics of Wrestling/TheOsirianPortal after initially being caught off guard by them.

* ConvenientReplacementCharacter: [=UltraMantis=] Black was injured and Wrestling/BlindRage was retired, so Hallowicked didn't have a partner going into ''CHIKARA Tag World Grand Prix 2006''. The names The Rockin' Rebel and Wrestling/RoderickStrong were both drawn, but they were not there. Delirious' name was drawn and he was there. They defeated Wrestling/{{Crossbones|TheWrestler}} and Rorschach with a [[Wrestling/TheRoadWarriors Doomsday Device]] in the first round on Night I and Cheech and Cloudy later that same night. They defeated Team [[Wrestling/DramaticDreamTeam DDT (KUDO and MIKAMI)]] in a Quarter-Final on Night III but lost to the eventual winners Wrestling/TheKingsOfWrestling (Wrestling/ChrisHero and Wrestling/ClaudioCastagnoli).

* EvilMentor: To Wrestling/TheBatiri (Obariyon, Kodama and Kobald) for a while.

* FinishingMove: Along with the to a bent over opponent's back splash (Shadows Over Hell, see below) Delirious also has the Bizarro Driver (Fisherman driver), Chemical Imbalance(pump handle driver), [[{{Sequel}} Chemical Imbalance II]](double pump handle wheelbarrow driver-he called it Stem cell research in the NWA), Cobra Stretch(modified cobra clutch) and briefly the Praying Mantis Bomb (he was forced to use it)

* GuestStarPartyMember: Served as Jay Briscoe's partner in proving grounds matches for the ROH Tag Team Titles in Mark Briscoe's place so Jay would not continue wrestling 2 on 1 after the Briscoes beat Naruki Doi and Shingo for the belts.

* LoserLeavesTown: Lost one of these to [=UltraMantis=] Black in December of 2014, sending Delirious out of Chikara.
** TakingYouWithMe[=/=]DefiantToTheEnd: After the match, Mantis' Spectral Envoy stablemates Hallowicked and Wrestling/{{Frightmare}} came out to celebrate the win. Delirious pulled out the Eye of Tyr and used it on them, turning them against Mantis.[[note]]The 2012 Season Premiere ''CHIKARA The Thirteenth Hat'' had begun with Mantis and Hallowicked finding Delirious, still in his [[Wrestling/DieBruderschaftDesKreuzes BDK]] gear, in a cave by some railroad tracks. Mantis told Delirious that the BDK was history (well, Tim Donst and Jakob Hammermeier were still hanging onto the name, though they would abandon it in June after GEKIDO surpassed them). Mantis used the Eye on Delirious and cast a spell, expecting that Delirious would join he and Hallowicked in the Spectral Envoy.

* RealMenEatMeat: At ''Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}} Bruised'', October 26, 2007, he started Incoherence's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4LjTEIVtBY post-match promo]] after they defeated Team F.I.S.T. (Icarus and Chuck Taylor [subbing for Wrestling/GranAkuma]) for the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/pa/e/chikara/chikara-t.html CHIKARA Campeonatos de Parejas (tag team titles)]] by proclaiming "Break out the sparkling water and the raw meat because Incoherence have become the Campeones de Parejas!" Four months earlier, at ''All Premier/PWE Zero to Sixty'' on June 24th, he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcAjxbstJpo&t=137s told]] Wrestling/ChrisJericho that he was getting ''paid'' in raw meat.

* TagTeam:
** Diabolic [=Khaos=], with Wrestling/{{MsChif}}, when Chif's students were not with them anyway
** [=Jiglirious=], with Wrestling/{{Jigsaw|Wrestling}}
** Incoherence, with Hallowicked, pre Wrestling/{{Frightmare}}.

* CrazyConsumption: He's been known to try and eat unattended food or drink out of containers left behind by fans if he happens to end up outside of the ring during matches. There were apparently no bugs are the NWA Wildside arena because Delirious at them all. In IWA Mid-South, commentator Jim Fannin would urge him to "eat the air". In Ring Of Honor, he had been seen chewing on the ring ropes and once tried to eat the tassels hanging off his own mask!

* AuthorAvatar: He is on Ring Of Honor's booking team, although he rarely appears on the shows since he joined he still occasionally does.

* BerserkButton: While in Ring of Honor it was messing with Daizee Haze, after the two were paired together by IWC, ICW and IWA Mid-South. Delirious's feud with Rhett Titus began when Rhett claimed to have filmed himself having sex with her. It was later shown how far gone Delirious was when he didn't care about Haze being hurt anymore but he eventually turned on the stable after Wrestling/JimmyJacobs attacked her, showing he was back to his old self.

* ColorMotif: Started with a blueish green tail on a black and white mask but then settled on the on green and black getup he would become best known for until he was forced to join the [[LightIsNotGood BDK and wear white again]]. He wore red during his feud with the Hangmen 3 and was forced to wear black by The Order Of The Neo-solar Temple, while encouraged to wear black in Age Of The Fall. Silver was added to the usual design in Incoherence.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Its a tossup as to whether Delirious will be wrestling in footwear or not. And being who he is, Delirious may make one experience [[IKissYourFoot close and prolonged exposure]] to his bare feet.

* EtTuBrute: A brief case of it regarding [=MsChif=] when she accidentally hit Delirious with a cookie sheet at ''GCW Adults F-N Only 3'' he took it as a shocking betrayal. This lead to an exchange of moves capped off by colliding drop kicks and simultaneous head spring kip ups that got standing applause...for heels. She kicked him in the crotch at the end of the match, [[DamnYouMuscleMemory reflexively]], while he was trying to help her up from behind.

* ExtremeMeleeRevenge: After taking up the color red, this became his calling card. Jimmy Jacobs encouraged Delirious to go beyond the what was necessary when getting revenge on Rhett Titus, in order to bring him into Age Of The Fall.

* FinishingMove: Along with the to a bent over back splash (Shadows Over Hell, see below) Delirious also has the Bizarro Driver (Fisherman driver), Chemical Imbalance(pump handle driver), [[{{Sequel}} Chemical Imbalance II]](double pump handle wheelbarrow driver-he called it Stem cell research in the NWA), Cobra Stretch(modified cobra clutch) and briefly the Praying Mantis Bomb (he was forced to use it)

* GenreSavvy: [[FunnyBackgroundEvent While MsChif was beating up Chad Paint for suggesting she give him a lap dance]] at ''GCW Adults F-N 10'', Delirious, seemingly at random, started climbing to the top turnbuckle, and then jumped out of the ring, landing on top of his opponent, Chaz Wesson, as Wesson was entering the arena, giving Wesson no time to get his bearings.

* GuestStarPartyMember: Served as Jay Briscoe's partner in proving grounds matches for the ROH Tag Team Titles in Mark Briscoe's place so Jay wrestling 2 on 1 after the Briscoes beat Naruki Doi and Shingo for the belts.

* {{Jobber}}: This was his role in TNA, where he couldn't even beat other jobbers in dark matches, and dark matches is where he spent most of his time. This was also his role in Ring Of Honor better in the sense had more taped matches, worse in the sense that meant more people were seeing his losses, though it didn't really detract from Delirious's popularity. Eventually, Wrestling/JimCornette gave him a "win or be fired" ultimatum, which made Ricky Reyes his first ROH victory. After that, Delirious was allowed to win more ROH matches and became more of a jobber to the stars. Upon entry to the International Wrestling Cartel he was able to shed his jobber image almost completely.

* LaughingMad: Whenever Delirious has a tendency to talk to himself and chuckle during the parts of the match where he isn't taking any offense.

* OneSteveLimit: Homicide and Wrestling/SamoaJoe have both wrestled in some of the same promotions as Delirious and have a move known as the face wash but while they repeatedly rubs their boot across a person's face, Delirious just touches them with his hand after sucking on it.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: As a member of The Order Of The Neo-Solar Temple Delirious was not nearly as erratic or hyper active. Ares released him from Ultramantis Black's control he went back to his running, rambling self.

* PrettyBoyPower: A trope Delirious refuses to believe in, he is the natural enemy of all pretty boys. It started with Matt Sydal but really was played up when he was in Wrestling/DragonGate.
* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: His promo at ''CHIKARA Don't Eat the Black One,'' March 19, 2005, was him rapping, of a sort, lyrics from Music/{{Esham}}'s "Silicone."

** Diabolic [=Khaos=], with Wrestling/{{MsChif}}

** Incoherence, with Hallowicked and Wrestling/{{Frightmare}}.

* UseYourHead: His Sternum Headbutt, for starters. At ''GCW No Pain No Gain'' he countered Kid Kash's double under hook piledriver by bringing his head up between his legs.

* WouldHitAGirl: If he was going to be true to the Ultimate Warrior, he had to go after "Wrestling/{{Sherri|Martel}}" at the ROH tribute show! Also when he was a part of Age Of The Fall, Delirious would attack women at Jimmy Jacob's command. Outside of those roles, Delirious is a lot more reluctant. His solution to Mike Bennets meddling manager Maria was [[TakeThatKiss just to kiss her]], for example.
* YouAreFat: Made such jokes in the direction of senior ROH referee Todd Sinclair, whom he had attacked while blinded at ''ROH Fifth Year Festival Finale'', believing it to be Colt Cabana.
