Badass Mustache and Badass Beard were merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. Having facial hair is not enough to qualify.

to:
* {{Determinator}}: As a heel in 2015, he will never stop coming after and trying to screw Wrestling/BobbyRoode. Unless the World Champion gets in EY's crosshairs and thus becomes his new target. Presumably this is why Roode walked out on Tye Dillinger as a tag team on the other side of [=SAnitY=]'s debut — he wanted no part of Young coming after him again with a crew to boot.
* 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.

* MultinationalTeam: [=SAnitY=] originally featured Young (Canadian), Alexander Wolfe (German), Nikki Cross (Scottish), and American Sawyer Fulton. After a few weeks, Fulton was removed from the group due to a real life injury. He was replaced by Killian Dain, who is Irish.
Added DiffLines:

He is the leader of the Wrestling/{{Sanity}} stable and is one half of the current NXT Tag Team Champions with Alexander Wolfe.
He is best known for his 12-year tenure working for Wrestling/{{TNA}} from 2004 to 2016, where he was a one-time TNA World Heavyweight Champion, one-time X Division Champion, a three-time Legends/Global/Television/King of the Mountain Champion, and a four-time world tag team champion, having held the NWA World Tag Team Championship twice with Wrestling/BobbyRoode and the TNA World Tag Team Championship twice (once with [[Wrestling/FrankieKazarian Kaz]] and once with Wrestling/KevinNash and Wrestling/ScottHall under the Freebird Rule), and the only male to co-hold the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship, winning the title with female wrestler ODB. He is also one of only four men to win TNA's Grand Slam Championship. All together, Young won 11 championships during his career in TNA, and is considered a "TNA Original".
As usual, [[Wiki/{{Wikipedia}} That Other Wiki]] has a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Young_(wrestler) page]] about his life and career.

!!"World Class Maniac Tropes":
* AffectionateParody: As "Super Eric", ⅓ of the Prince Justice Brotherhood with Curry Man and Shark Boy, of {{Superhero}}es.
* AxCrazy: His heel turn in 2015 saw him become much, ''much'' more violent than he used to be.
* BadassBeard: Eventually grew it out. Dixie Carter tried to claim it as a trademark after he won the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Wanted to show Abyss and Joseph Park that they were really one in the same. [[GoneHorriblyRight It worked]]. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Too well]].
* BloodLust: After Tommy Dreamer, biting his open wound while TNA was in the UK during 2015.
* ButtMonkey: Despite a short break in 2009, Eric during his TNA run was... Eric. Subverted after he spent time as the TNA World Heavyweight Champion, remained consistently in or near the title picture since losing the belt, and in 2015 turned into an AxCrazy heel who is taken very seriously.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: After his concussion and mentally challenged gimmick in 2010 were phased out, his comic relief gimmick was presented as this.
* ContinuityNod: The first time he turned into a bitter heel and used the Blood and Fire theme song he became leader of a short-lived ForeignWrestlingHeel faction called World Elite. Years after going back face he beat one of his former World Elite stablemates to become the TNA World Heavyweight Champion. For his second Blood and Fire heel run he gave himself the nickname of the ''World Class'' Maniac, a likely nod to both of these.
* {{Determinator}}: As a heel in 2015, he will never stop coming after and trying to screw Wrestling/BobbyRoode. Unless the World Champion gets in EY's crosshairs and thus becomes his new target.
* FanOfUnderdog: One way of explaining his sudden support of Joseph Park. In a case of HoistByHisOwnPetard, this is also the reason MVP was ecstatic when Eric Young won the TNA World Heavyweight Championship and "allowed" him to hold onto it for a couple months.
* ForeignWrestlingHeel: As part of Team Canada and later World Elite.
* HappilyMarried: Kayfabe, with ODB.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: Had flirted with the idea of turning back face heading into a championship match with Kurt Angle until Austin Aries cut in line by cashing in his Feast or Fired title shot. Good luck reining this psycho in again after that.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Triggering Wrestling/{{Abyss}}. Even ODB could (and did) tell him this wouldn't end well for anybody.
* PartsUnknown:
** "An undisclosed location" during the "Don't Fire Eric" angle with Robert Roode. "Freedomland, USA" after he no longer had to work for Roode.
** [[Franchise/{{Superman}} "Metropolis"]] as "Super Eric".
* PintSizedPowerhouse: He's fully capable of ''Wrestling/JohnCena'' levels of strength, like ''lifting two people on his shoulders and giving them a double death valley driver''.
* PowerStable:
** In TNA, Team Canada, World Elite, and The Band.
** In WWE (specifcally NXT), Wrestling/{{Sanity}}.
* PutOnABus: By choice, eventually ending up in Wrestling/{{WWE}}.
* RedBaron: "Showtime" as a face. "The World Class Maniac" (self-titled) and "The Bearded Terror" (via Pope Dinero) as a heel.
* SanitySlippage: Ever since he fell from the top rope to the floor from Suicide's kick in 2010.
* ShooOutTheClowns:
** Happened when he split from Kevin Nash, not long before his character regression.
** Again when he turned heel in 2015, becoming an AxCrazy.
* ShoutOut: Flips over the top rope and lands safely on the apron, ala young Ric Flair. He even does the strut afterwards. He would even use the figure-four leglock if that happened.
* SpinOff: Now hosts ''Off the Hook: Extreme Catches'', a fishing show on Animal Planet.
* SpiritedCompetitor: His aim was to be one as the TNA World Heavyweight Champion, defending the title every night under increasingly outlandish stipulations. MVP tried to get him to tone it down a little and enjoy his championship reign...because he was planning to end it soon.
* TheMadHatter:
** He's gone crazy in 2013, or so he claimed to, and claims to enjoy it.
** Went ''really'' crazy in 2015 after turning heel.
* ThisLoserIsYou: Especially during the "Don't Fire Eric" angle with Bobby Roode.
* ThrowTheBookAtThem: He had previously been assaulted with a phone book by Kurt Angle and returned the favor during the main event of the November 8, 2007 ''iMPACT!''.
* TookALevelInBadass: He won the TNA World Heavyweight Title just an hour after winning a Royal Rumble-style gauntlet match for #1 contendership.
* UnderwearOfPower: Until late 2010, then again in 2012.
* UndyingLoyalty: Along with Bobby Roode and Abyss, he was the last of the TNA Originals. Eric's an especially notable case, considering that for most of his TNA run he was mainly a LethalJokeCharacter who really wasn't appreciated all that much, and yet he's willing to stick around longer than ''AJ Styles'' was. Apparently, his loyalty has worn thin when he, much like Aries, Roode and Samoa Joe, jumped ship to [[Wrestling/{{WWENXT}} NXT]].
* WhosLaughingNow: His FaceHeelTurn in late 2009. Did it again at the start of 2015.
