History Wrestling / Sanity

* TheBrute: As the tallest and largest member of Wrestling/{{Sanity}}, he fills this role.

** '''''Full tilt''''' with his reappearance as a member of the [=SAnitY=] faction.
* DreadlockWarrior: As a member of Wrestling/{{Sanity}}.

* NoDoubtTheYearsHaveChangedMe: Well, more like ''months'', but just look at him now in the picture to the right as a member of Wrestling/{{Sanity}} [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sawyer.png compared to his previous look]]. Even when the announcers [[TheReveal told you]] that it was Sawyer Fulton, it was a bit hard to believe if you remembered him as the guy pictured in the link.
* PutOnABus: Fulton suffered a longterm injury and was subsequently kicked out of the Wrestling/{{Sanity}} faction.
* ThePeteBest:[[invoked]] May be set up to be this for Wrestling/{{Sanity}}, as a recent episode of NXT saw the stable come down to the ring without him, then had Eric Young make a point of stomping and spitting on his jacket before hurling it out of the ring. This was because Fulton had suffered a legit injury - he was replaced not long afterward by the ''[[TheBrute massive]]'' Irishman known as Killian Dain.

* PutOnABus
* SerialNumbersFiledOff: Sawyer Fulton is still doing the exact same gimmick in Major League Wrestling, minus the first name.

[[folder:Killian Dain]]

[[foldercontrol]

* {{Expy}}: He debuted on NXT basically the exact same way Braun Strowman did on the main roster - as a late addition to a PowerStable where one of the original members had gone down due to an injury. The fact that he and Strowman are similar in appearance and body type just reinforces this - although, in an ironic twist, Dain bears an even closer facial resemblance to Bray Wyatt than Strowman does. He even uses a running senton like Bray. It's almost to the point that you wonder, had Dain been in NXT a couple of years earlier, whether ''he'' would have been the one pegged to take the open spot in Wrestling/TheWyattFamily as opposed to Strowman.

* {{Acrofatic}}: Killian Dain. Just look at him at [=WarGames=]. He even did a [[Wrestling/RobvanDam Van Terminator]] jump! He's also been seen using suicide dives to the floor through the middle rope. Keep in mind, Dain's about ''320 pounds.''
* AnimalMotifs: Nikki Cross has mannerisms that one would expect more from a playful cat than a psychotic human; she likes to rub her face on things and bat objects around with her hands (usually microphones or title belts), will often gently paw at other people, and sometimes crawls on all fours for no apparent reason.

* AscendedExtra: Alexander Wolfe was a nondescript jobber under his real name when he started, his first TV match being against Samoa Joe.
* AxCrazy: All of them, but especially Nikki Cross. While everybody in that stable is a bit off, she may be by far the least sane one of the group, which is ''really'' saying something. She's been seen (aside from mercilessly beating her opponents) punching, slapping and biting herself, crawling on the floor and snarling like an animal. And that was in and slightly after ''one five-minute match.'' Eric Young tried to calm her down (think about the implications of ''that'' for a second) and got an elbow to the face for his trouble.
* BadassBoast: Nikki Cross declares herself to be "The Best in the Galaxy".
* BeardOfEvil: Killian Dain, Eric Young, and Alexander Wolfe proudly hold large beards and are purely insane and/or evil.
* BigBad: Eric Young, as the leader of [=SAnitY=].
* TheBrute: Killian Dain's well over 300 pounds. Alexander Wolfe counts as well.
* CanadaEh: Eric Young has a [[WearingAFlagOnYourHead Canadian flag patch on his jacket]].
* CardCarryingVillain: Even in his one appearance as a good guy, Eric Young would still acknowledge himself as a maniac.
* CarpetOfVirility: Killian Dain. Well, just look at it. And there's more where that came from on the other side. He's gotten a few "shave your back!" chants.
* CuteAndPsycho: Nikki, who can be found smiling like a kid in a candy shop at the violence brought on by her stablemates, commandeering her stablemates for piggyback rides, and, during her sit-down interview, repeatedly batted away the mic and tried to do her interview by walking too close to the camera and holding the mic herself (badly).
* DarkActionGirl: Nikki Cross.
* TheDarkChick: Nikki.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Killian Dain appears from offscreen and hits Rich Swann ''very hard'', at which point you get to see how enormous he is.
* EvilSoundsRaspy: If you can imagine the voice of Wrestling/RandySavage who's swallowed a Wrestling/MickFoley[=-=]sized bag full of rusty thumbtacks, you'll probably have a good idea of what it sounds like when Eric Young talks. This is due to his [[https://twitter.com/TheEricYoung/status/339200118970515457 16]] (at least) throat surgeries.

* FightingIrish: Killian Dain hails from Belfast.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Wolfe has a habit of randomly dancing around and kicking the air like he's in a mosh pit during promos and when the stable get into the ring.
* GigglingVillain: [[https://youtu.be/BtRArovOckk?t=16 Nikki Cross' girlish giggle]] definitely belies her twisted, psychotic, unstable personality. She often switches between this and LaughingMad at seemingly random times.
* HappilyMarried: Dain and Nikki married on January 17 2019.

* {{Leitmotif}}: Notably, when the members are working solo, they have their own nation-stereotyped song taking cues from the main stable theme "Controlled Chaos". So far Dain's theme is a {{Djent}} and Irish flute song called "Beast of Belfast", and Nikki Cross has a {{Dubstep}} song called "Glasgow Cross", which prominently features maniacal screaming and laughter.
* LaughingMad: Nikki is unhinged to say the very least, and it really shows when she goes through fits of laughter at either the suffering of others (or herself), or when she laughs at nothing at all.
* TheMentor: Wrestling/FinnBalor had a hand in Killian Dain's training in Ireland. Dain then passed the baton by being one of Nikki Cross' trainers.

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Dain. A 320+ pound angry FightingIrish whose name is '''Kill'''ian. ''Noooooooo thanks.''
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Nikki has a habit of literally jumping on the backs of her stablemates. She also likes to hype herself up by slapping the other members of [=SAnitY=] in the chest (or sometimes in the face), and she particularly likes to hug Killian Dain after the group dishes out a beatdown (even though she can't even come close to getting her arms around his huge body).
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Nikki Cross is only 5'1", but she's very solidly built and she hits ''hard.''
* PsychopathicManchild: Nikki Cross often switches between girlish playfulness and ''batshit crazy'' at the drop of a hat. She's also fully capable of being both at the same time.
* SanitySlippage: When she made her initial debut, Nikki Cross was perfectly normal. When she reappeared with [=SAnitY=], the commentators were stunned by the change in her personality.

* SlasherSmile: Is pretty much Nikki's default facial expression. Pain and suffering is fun for her, even when it's her own.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Nikki Cross.
* SuddenSequelHeelSyndrome:
** Nikki Cross's first television match was as a cheerful face teaming with Carmella and Liv Morgan. The next time she appears, she was the most unhinged and violent member of [=SAnitY=] with no clue as to what happened to cause the shift.
** Eric Young was a {{face}} [[ALighterShadeOfBlack by attrition]] in his only NXT appearance prior to leading [=SAnitY=], making a surprise challenge to the vicious and arrogant NXT Champion Samoa Joe.
* SwallowTheKey: Killian Dain ate the key at [=WarGames=] after Alexander Wolfe brought various weapons and plunder inside the cage.
* ViolentGlaswegian: Nikki Cross was born in Glasgow and proves to be extremely aggressive in taking the fight to her opponents.
* WildCard: Started by harassing Roderick Strong, who for most of his time in NXT has been about as white-meat as a babyface gets. Have since moved on to feuding with brutal heel tag team The Authors of Pain, and now seem to have set their sights on screwing up…whatever Wrestling/AdamCole and the Undisputed Era were planning on doing. This wouldn't be notable except for the fact that they never seemed to have a pivotal moment that made them faces. Hell, Eric Young completely disappeared for a while and the group was 'together' but not really — and even now, Nikki Cross is often seen out doing her own thing. They either have an aim that only they know, or they don't have one at all. Honestly, either one would fit with their characters, so the details of their plan are anyone's guess.

* SerialNumbersFiledoff: Sawyer Fulton is still doing the exact same gimmick in Major League Wrestling, minus the first name.

* TheMentor: Wrestling/FinnBalor had a hand in Killian Dain's training in Ireland.

* PsychopathicManchild: Nikki Cross often switches between girlish playfulness and ''batshit crazy'' at the drop of a hat.

* SlasherSmile: Is pretty much Nikki's default facial expression. She seems to greatly enjoy pain and suffering, even when it's her own.

* {{Leitmotif}}: Notably, when the members are working solo, they have their own nation-stereotyped song taking cues from the main stable theme "Controlled Chaos". So far Dain's theme is a Music/{{Djent}} and Irish flute song called "Beast of Belfast", and Nikki Cross has a {{Dubstep}} song called "Glasgow Cross", which prominently features maniacal screaming and laughter.
