-> '''Signature Move:'''

* AHeroToHisHometown: When Defiant came to Sunderland for the Magnificent Seven 2019 event, he was the most popular guy in the building.
* BerserkButton: Don't slander his hometown in front of him. HT Drake set him off this way during ''Defiant Loaded #13'', leading to a match between the two.
* CheapHeat: Booed by most crowds (especially Newcastle) at the merest mention of his hometown, to the point where he originally didn't need to do it himself, as the ring announcer would do it for him. As of ''Defiant Loaded #16'', he began to wear the colors of his hometown team, [[UsefulNotes/BritishFootyTeams Sunderland AFC]], to actively provoke crowds.
* {{Jobber}}: Has yet to win a singles match, but has had a bit more success as part of [[{{Portmanteau}} "RenBen"]].
* PoisonousFriend: To Benji. As he couldn't directly win the Magnificent Seven briefcase from him, Renshaw quickly ingratiated himself with Benji with the intent to still directly benefit from the briefcase, turning him against the Tuck Shop in the process.

* GenreBlind: In ''Defiant #2'' during CCK vs. The Prestige, Chris Brooks tried to put a salived finger on El Ligero's ear. Problem is: El Ligero uses a mask which covers his ears. It went as well as you can imagine.
* RefugeInVulgarity: One of his initial spots involves him putting saliva in his opponent's ear.
** Turned UpToEleven in the ''Defiant Internet Title'' four-way match at ''Defiant #10'', where Wrestling/TravisBanks (saliva on the other ear) and Mike Bailey (foot in mouth) joined him on his humilliation of David Starr.

Later scheduled to return at ''Unstoppable'' alongside Brookes to challenge Aussie Open, but had to pull out due to being injured yet again.

This was fairly quickly dropped afterward, as Klinger became "The Badness" instead.

* NotSoDifferent: On the grounds that "Gimmicks are fun, and we hate fun", he was convinced by both Dunne and Los Federales Super Santos Sr. to become a member of the Anti-Fun Police, something he was VERY weary to join due to his hatred of gimmicks.
* SensibleGuyAndManlyMan: The Manly Man to both Dunne and especially Los Federales Super Santos Jr.'s sensible guys.

* SixthRangerTraitor: [[spoiler: As of ''WCPW True Destiny'' and the next match on ''Loaded'', Drake has broken from Prospect.]]

Yup, that just about sums it up. Or, as Adam Blampied put it, his charge "fights like a volcano erupting at night" and "kicks like a really big horse". He will tuck you into bed, he says. Your f*cking death bed, that is.
\\\
Rampage will punch you in the face, chop you until you bleed, and then drop you directly onto your head with a piledriver, if and when Blampied tells him to. He is a terrifying, ultra-intense competitor and will pose a threat to any and all on the WCPW roster.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: Extremely weird, especially his pre-match shenanigans, but incredibly talented once the bell rings.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Though he was on the receiving end of the defeat against B.T. Gunn at ''Defiant Loaded #5'', he immediately befriended Gunn afterward, with even the commentators mentioning that a lifelong friendship had possibly been formed.
* FrameUp: Accused of stealing El Phantasmo's glasses. It turned out that he had found them and was about to return them, but was intercepted by the Anti-Fun Police, who stole them from him and later framed him for the crime. As an apology, he was placed into the tag title match at ''Unstoppable'' as a replacement for the injured Kid Lykos, then was allowed a measure of revenge on the AFP by receiving the first opportunity at Damian Dunne's ''Defiant Hardcore Championship''.
* LaughingMad: After being defeated by Bad Bones, he lapsed into this, thoroughly confusing Klinger. [[spoiler: It was because he was about to reveal that Ilja Dragunov was coming.]]

So he was promised to be considered for the #1 Contendership if he beat [[Wrestling/AdrianNeville PAC]] at ''Defiant Loaded #4''.

* CoolShades: A pair of LED light glasses, which fairly quickly went missing. The search for them was used as a catalyst for several matches.

* UseYourHead: Headbutted Chris Ridgeway in ''Defiant #4'' after he proposed him to put the Hardcore Title on the line.

* CheapHeat: Immediately endeared herself to the Manchester crowd during her debut by carrying a [[UsefulNotes/{{Liverpool}} Liverpool FC]] scarf.

* AbortedArc: Was going to take part of tag-team matches with Austin Aries, until the weekly episodes were slowly retired.
