* EnemyMine: He did briefly put aside his differences with Matt Sydal to challenge the Iron Saints for the IWA-MS tag team titles but they went back to being enemies after this. Matt Sydal and Daizee Haze did keep Fast Eddie from interfering when Delrious and Jimmy Rave were the last two wrestlers in the NWA Super Indy Elimination match, so there was precedent for it. They also teamed up against the Briscoes at Ring Of Honor's ''Survival Of The Fittest'' but immediately went back to fighting each other once that was done.

Not to be confused with Music/{{Delirious}} or any other use of the name.

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


!!! "Delirious Tropes":
* AxCrazy - Only when he switches from the trademark green to red.
* BadassBeard[=/=]BeardOfEvil
* BadassTeacher: He trained Wrestling/DaizeeHaze and is currently ROH's head trainer.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Oh yeah. Just look at his name.
* ColorMotif: Primarily wore green and black except for when he was in the [[LightIsNotGood BDK]].
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: For all his running around and incomprehensible ramblings, he ''is'' a really good wrestler.
* EvilMentor: To the Batiri for a while.
* GoshDangItToHeck: At ''From Zero to Hero (& Castagnoli)'', Delirious ended his and Hallowicked's promo by referencing Wrestling/BookerT's infamous botched promo from ''WCW Spring Stampede 97'' by saying, [[ExactWords "Chris Hero, Claudio Castagnoli, we coming for you, n-word!"]]. Yes, Delirious said "n-word," not the actual word Booker had made the mistake of saying nine years earlier.
** Along similar lines, CHIKARA refers to one of his signature moves, commonly known as Shadows Over Hell, as "Shadows Over Heck."
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Delirious has never been treated like a complete joke, but after being broken out of his BrainwashedAndCrazy status due to the Eye of Tyr, he has been stalking [=UltraMantis=] Black looking for revenge, and come across as a major threat.
* PartsUnknown: "The Edge of Sanity," [[Literature/TheDivineComedy "Dante's Inferno"]]
* PowerStable:
** (in ROH): The Age of the Fall
** (in FIP): [=DP=] Associates
** (in CHIKARA): The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple and the BDK
* 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."
* PutOnABus - After becoming head booker he stopped wrestling for ROH, presumably to prevent any conflict of interest (which is something that people like Kevin Nash would have been wise to do in the past). He has since performed only once at an ROH show, in a match with Colt Cabana dedicated to the late Larry Sweeney.
* RealSongThemeTune: DimmuBorgir's "Hybrid Stigmata- The Apostasy"
* SlasherSmile - Even as a face, there's something unsettling about Delirious's smile.
* TagTeam: Incoherence, with Hallowicked and Wrestling/{{Frightmare}}.
* TeamPet: To the BDK. Even ''acknowledged'' as this by the announcers due to Ares dragging him around with a chain around his neck.
* TheUnintelligible: He tends to talk very fast and repeat himself a lot and while sometimes what he says doesn't actually resemble ''words'', if you listen he ''is'' able to put his overall point across. That said, his team with Hallowicked and Frightmare was called Incoherence for a reason.
** Until he destroyed the Eye of Tyr. Now he speaks intelligibly, and [[TheUnfettered he's not happy about what he went through]] while brainwashed by it.
