13	!!"Gonna kick your tropes in you stinking punk!"
14	* AlliterativeName: Krusher Khrushchev and Blacktop Bully.
15	* ArchEnemy: (as Repo Man): his former Demolition tag team partner [[Wrestling/BrianAdams Crush]]; (as Blacktop Bully): [[Wrestling/{{Goldust}} Dustin Rhodes]].
16	* BaldOfEvil: Most of the time.
17	* CatchPhrase: (as Repo Man): "What's mine is mine, and what's yours is mine too!"
18	* EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether: He, Wrestling/TheRoadWarriors and Wrestling/RickRude trained at Eddie Sharkey's school at the same time.
19	* EvilDebtCollector: As Repo Man.
20	* EvilLaugh: As Repo Man.
21	* FinishingMove:
22	** (as Repo Man): The Crowbar (single leg Boston Crab)
23	** (as Blacktop Bully): Breaker 1-9 (a wristlock variation), renamed Barely Legal.
24	* IHaveManyNames: He also went by his real name.
25	* IKnowMaddenKombat[=/=]GolfClubbing: As "Mr. Hole In One".
26	* IdentityAmnesia: [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wcw/wcw-t.html WCW World Tag Team Champions]] Harlem Heat (Wrestling/BookerT and Stevie Ray) defeated Darsow and Bobby Eaton on the August 21, 1999 ''Wrestling/{{WCW}} Saturday Night.'' After the match, Eaton tried hitting Harlem Heat with one of the belts, but they took him out and hit Darsow with one of the belts instead. This led to him reverting back to his previous gimmicks of Krusher Khrushchev and Blacktop Bully.
27	* ImprobableWeaponUser: As Repo Man, he once hit Wrestling/TheUndertaker with a hubcap. It didn't help.
28	* LegacyCharacter:
29	** Wrestling/RobConway's French sympathizer gimmick as a member of Wrestling/LaResistanceTagTeam was one to Krusher Khrushchev.
30	** Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}}'s [[Wrestling/TheColonyWrestling Thief Ant]]'s tendency to "steal" his opponents' moves and finishers led the commentators to compare him to Repo Man.
31	* NoIndoorVoice: One of many practitioners of this promo type.
32	* PowerStable: (in WCW) The Stud Stable.
33	* TheQuisling: As Khruschev, who was not actually a Russian but a Communist ''sympathizer''. Which is why he sounded less Russian and more like Demolition Smash/Repo Man.
34	* RealLifeWritesThePlot: For his golf gimmick, Darsow was initially going to go by the name Stewart Pain. But because Payne Stewart (the golfer who inspired the name) died in a plane crash, he went by his real name instead.
35	* RedBaron: "Mr. Hole in One"
36	* RidiculousRepossession: Both in Repo Man's introductory vignettes and in his interactions with other wrestlers (such as his repossession of Randy Savage's cowboy hat).
37	* TagTeam:
38	** The Russians
39	** Demolition
40	* WrestlingDoesntPay: As a wrestling trucker as the Blacktop Bully, then as a wrestling ex-pro golfer.
41	* WrestlingFamily: His son Dakota Darsow wrestled in [[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA]] and Florida independents for a while.
