5Hunter Johnston (born December 19, 1980) is an American {{Professional Wrestl|ing}}er, trainer and booker known to fans of the sport as '''Delirious.''' After being trained by Tracy Smothers and Kid Kash, Delirious debuted on July 19th 2001 at a Gateway Championship Wrestling show in Hillsboro, MO alongside Wrestling/MsChif, where he would defeat Billy [=McNeil=]. [=MsChif=] would join Delirious in the ring a month later at the [=DeSoto=] Wrestlefest, where they would defeat [[Wrestling/EvanBourne Matt Sydal]] and Christine in an inter gender tag team match and establish themselves as the first members of a group that would terrorize the rest of the GCW roster for years to come, Diabolic Khaos.
6
7Delirious has gone on to compete for, among others, The International Wrestling Cartel, Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}}, Wrestling/DragonGate, Wrestling/{{TNA}}, Wrestling/ProWrestlingNOAH and Wrestling/RingOfHonor, where he is the head trainer at the ROH Wrestling Academy and a booker. Among his in-ring achievements, he is an Wrestling/{{N|ationalWrestlingAlliance}}WA Midwest X-Division Champion, a former 1x [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/pa/e/chikara/chikara-t.html CHIKARA Campeon de Parejas]] with Hallowicked, a 2x [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/ky/iwams/iwams-lh.html IWA Mid-South Light Heavyweight Champion]], a 2x [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/pa/w/iwc/iwc-si.html IWC Super Indy Champion]] and a 5x holder of Wrestling/LarrySweeney's [[http://www.cagematch.net/?id=5&nr=416 ICW/ICWA Tex-Arkana Television Title]].
8
9Not to be confused with Music/{{Delirious}} or any other use of the name.
10----
11!! "The apparition of two faces in disgust, invisible but yet so clear... to the tropes!"
12* {{Angrish}}: As if he was too easy to understand already, but this actually made him stand out in Gateway Championship Wrestling, as someone who was ([[ClusterFBomb comparatively]]) restrained even at their "Adult" shows.
13* AppropriatedAppellation: His moves were actually named by his enemies in Operation Shamrock, mostly by Ryan Ash. Delirious just went with it.
14* AxCrazy - Only when he switches from the trademark green to red.
15* AuthorAvatar: He is on Ring Of Honor's booking team. Although he rarely appears on the shows since he joined, he still occasionally does.
16* BadassTeacher: He trained Harlem Bravado, Lance Bravado, Mia Yim, Portia Pérez, Wrestling/VedaScott, and Wrestling/DaizeeHaze. Then he became ROH's head trainer.
17* BareFootLoon: It's a tossup as to whether Delirious will be wrestling in anything other than his pants and mask, footwear is definitely optional to him. And being who he is, Delirious may make one experience [[IKissYourFoot close and prolonged exposure]] to his bare feet. And given how much running he does, those feet ''will'' stink.
18* BattleStrip: At the IWC Super Indy tournament Delirious kept stripping off his elbow pads and then putting them back on. Throwing them at the referee at one point.
19* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: He adopted the dancing antics of The Osirian Portal after initially being caught off guard by them.
20* BerserkButton: While in Ring of Honor it was messing with Daizee Haze, after the two were paired together by IWC, ICW and IWA Mid-South. Delirious's feud with Rhett Titus began when Rhett claimed to have filmed himself having sex with her. It was later shown how far gone Delirious was when he didn't care about Haze being hurt anymore but he eventually turned on his stable after Wrestling/JimmyJacobs attacked her, showing he was back to his old self.
21-->"Age Of The Fall is falling down! I was lost but now I'm found!"
22** He tends to sit in a seemingly catatonic state in the corner before a match. Then the bell rings and he goes nuts, making this a literal example.
23* BigDamnHeroes: Delirious, along with Wrestling/KevinSteen and [[Wrestling/SamiZayn El Generico]], cut off Jimmy Jacobs's efforts to continue The Age Of The Fall, saving [[Wrestling/SethRollins Tyler Black]] from a bunch of masked goons Jacobs had brought in for that purpose in the process.
24* {{Bookends}}: The Irish Luchador Billy [=McNeil=] was his first and final opponent in Gateway... if you count the Dynamo Pro GCW reunion show (otherwise his final match was against Dingo). Delirious won the first but lost the last.
25* BrainwashedAndCrazy: In Chikara after he was abducted by The Order Of The Neo-Solar Temple
26* {{Brainwashing}} After losing to Ultra Mantis Black, Black's Spectral Envoy stablemates Hallowicked and Frightmare came out to celebrate the win. Delirious pulled out the Eye of Tyr and used it on them, turning them against Mantis.[[note]]The 2012 Season Premiere ''CHIKARA The Thirteenth Hat'' had begun with Mantis and Hallowicked finding Delirious, still in his [[Wrestling/DieBruderschaftDesKreuzes BDK]] gear, in a cave by some railroad tracks. Mantis told Delirious that the BDK was history (well, Tim Donst and Jakob Hammermeier were still hanging onto the name, though they would abandon it in June after GEKIDO surpassed them). Mantis used the Eye on Delirious and cast a spell, expecting that Delirious would join he and Hallowicked in the Spectral Envoy. Instead, Delirious grabbed the Eye, ran off, smashed it, and proclaimed in clear English, "I REMEMBER EVERYTHING!" He subsequently announced his intention to destroy Mantis in 2014 as retaliation for losing two years of his life to the Eye of Tyr, first due to Mantis in 2009 and then due to BDK leader Ares in 2010. At ''King of Trios 2014'', Jakob revealed that he had the Eye, never explaining how he got it, only alluding to a vague DealWithTheDevil.[[/note]] Hallowicked spoke Frightmare's name in clear English and they left together.
27* CharacterFilibuster: During their fourth match tiebreaker at ''IWA Mid-south No Blood, No Guts, No Glory '05'' CM Punk talked about IWA M-S being "His house" which caused Delirious to go off on Punk for two straight minutes.
28* ClothingDamage: His first mask was ripped by Matt Sydal, who turned Delirious's own stake against him in GCW. His next mask was torn in a ladder match with Jimmy Jacobs for the IWA Mid-South Light Heavyweight championship. His first challenge for Wrestling/BryanDanielson's ROH title was stopped by the referee to Delirious's torn mask (and skin)
29* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Oh yeah. Just look at his name.
30* ColorMotif: Started with a blueish green tail on a black and white mask but then settled on the on green and black getup he would become best known for until he was forced to join the [[LightIsNotGood BDK and wear white again]]. He wore red during his feud with the Hangmen 3 and was forced to wear black by The Order Of The Neo-solar Temple, while encouraged to wear black in Age Of The Fall. Silver was added to the usual design in Incoherence. His behavior changes with each color.
31* ConfusionFu: TNA played up his offense this way, his fighting style has been called "unpredictable scientific virtuoso".
32* ContinuityNod
33** He retains his dislike of all the wrestlers he feuded with in previous promotions he worked for, even if they have no current kayfabe reason to be against each other. Especially if it is Evan Bourne.
34** Delirious using Matt Sydal's "[[CallingYourAttacks Here It Is]]" to defeat the towering Hydra in CHIKARA.
35* ConvenientReplacementCharacter: [=UltraMantis=] Black was injured and Blind Rage was retired, so Hallowicked didn't have a partner going into ''CHIKARA Tag World Grand Prix 2006''. The names The Rockin' Rebel and Wrestling/RoderickStrong were both drawn, but they were not there. Delirious' name was drawn and he was there. They defeated Crossbones and Rorschach with a [[Wrestling/TheRoadWarriors Doomsday Device]] in the first round on Night I and Cheech and Cloudy later that same night. They defeated Team [[Wrestling/DramaticDreamTeam DDT]] (KUDO and MIKAMI) in a Quarter-Final on Night III but lost to the eventual winners Wrestling/TheKingsOfWrestling (Wrestling/ChrisHero and Wrestling/ClaudioCastagnoli).
36* CoolTeacher: Ring of Honor has promoted him as such when advertising for their school.
37* CowerPower: Much to Dave Prazak's annoyance after Wrestling/AustinAries turned on DP Associates.
38* CrazyConsumption: He's been known to try and eat unattended food or drink out of containers left behind by fans if he happens to end up outside of the ring during matches. There were apparently no bugs are the NWA Wildside arena because Delirious ate them all. In IWA Mid-South, commentator Jim Fannin would urge him to "eat the air". In Ring Of Honor, he had been seen chewing on the ring ropes, fan-thrown streamers, and once tried to eat the tassels hanging off his own mask!
39* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: For all his running around and incomprehensible ramblings, he ''is'' a really good wrestler.
40* CrowdChant
41** "Bah, Bah, Bah, Bah!" It seems to be something he screamed at a Gateway event that the GCW faithful started yelling at him ever since, quickly spreading to many other promotions. In Chikara Delirious adopted it as his {{battle cry}} against Wrestling/UltraMantisBlack.
42** The ROH bots had a tendency to chant "You got cock blocked" at Delirious while he was feuding with Rhett Titus.
43* DistaffCounterpart: Delirious brought out a woman who would be dubbed "Shelirious" wearing a replica of his mask in order to mess with Wrestling/CMPunk. [[spoiler: It was Daizee Haze]]
44* DoNotCallMePaul: Yeah, Delirious would not be very happy if he read the title of his trope page.
45* TheDragon: In The Age of the Fall. He and [=MsChif=] would alternate between being the {{big bad}} and the dragon of Diablic Khaos. (If Delirious asserted himself, she would 'listen', otherwise they mostly followed [=MsChif's=] plans)
46* DreadlockWarrior: His mask has attachments meant to look this way, although his first mask had "hair" that was more like a ponytail.
47* EarAche: Delirious bit Adam Pearce's ear to get back at being stapled by him.
48* EnemyMine
49** 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 Delirious and Jimmy Rave were the last two wrestlers in the 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 until brought together again by [[Wrestling/ChristopherDaniels The]] [[Wrestling/FrankieKazarian Addiction]]
50** Teamed with The Human Tornado in Ring Of Honor against Age Of The Fall.
51** Also in Ring Of Honor with Wrestling/JerryLynn because of mutual enemy Rhett Titus
52* EtTuBrute: A brief case of it regarding [=MsChif=] when she accidentally hit Delirious with a cookie sheet at ''GCW Adults F-N Only 3''. He took it as a shocking betrayal. This lead to an exchange of moves capped off by colliding drop kicks and simultaneous head spring kip ups that got standing applause...for heels. She kicked him in the crotch at the end of the match, [[DamnYouMuscleMemory reflexively]], while he was trying to help her up from behind.
53* EvilMentor: To The Batiri (Obariyon, Kodama and Kobald) as part of a world ending cult.
54* ExtremeMeleeRevenge: After taking up the color red, this became his calling card. Jimmy Jacobs encouraged Delirious to go beyond what was necessary when getting revenge on Rhett Titus, in order to bring him into Age Of The Fall.
55* FashionableAsymmetry: He wears more accessories on his left arm and the left side of his mask is more detailed. His Incoherence Mask has a silver lens over the left eye and an open right.
56* FinishingMove: Along with the to a bent over opponent's back splash (Shadows Over Hell, see below) Delirious also has the Bizarro Driver (Fisherman driver), Chemical Imbalance (pump handle driver), [[{{Sequel}} Chemical Imbalance II]] (double pump handle wheelbarrow driver-he called it Stem cell research in the NWA), Cobra Stretch (modified cobra clutch) and briefly the Praying Mantis Bomb (he was forced to use it)
57* FlippingTheBird: When questioned on Jimmy Jacobs during ''Edge Of Sanity: The Delirious Story'', Delirious's response was to raise his middle finger, he then lowered it and apologized to the interviewer.
58* FriendToAllChildren: When Incoherence won the Chikara Campeon De Parejas, they brought in a bunch of kids to celebrate with them in the ring.
59* FunetikAksent: Some GCW editor had fun with this after the promotion's signature match, the light heavyweight four way dance, could not happen at ''Adults F-N Only 7'', because Billy [=McNeil=] was beaten down by Delirious and Outtkast prior.
60-->4 - 1 = a f-n 3 way. Delirious: Haja, saja, Fauaokayaoau!
61* TheGadfly: He and Wrestling/ClaudioCastagnoli spent most of their tag match at ''IWA Mid-South Volcano Girls 2'' teasing Jason Strife, from multiple {{handshake refusal}}s to Delirious stealing Strife's headband.
62* GoshDangItToHeck
63** At ''From Zero to Hero (& Castagnoli)'', Delirious ended his and Hallowicked's promo by referencing Wrestling/BookerT's infamous botched promo from ''Wrestling/{{WCW}} Spring Stampede 97'' by saying, "Wrestling/ChrisHero, Wrestling/ClaudioCastagnoli, [[ExactWords 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.
64** Along similar lines, CHIKARA refers to one of his signature moves, commonly known as Shadows Over Hell, as "Shadows Over Heck," or "Shadows Over Hades."
65* GuestStarPartyMember: Served as Jay Briscoe's partner in proving grounds matches for the ROH Tag Team Titles in Mark Briscoe's place so Jay would not continue wrestling 2 on 1 after the Briscoes beat Naruki Doi and Shingo for the belts.
66* HeroicSecondWind: The Wrestling/UltimateWarrior's rope shaking one, as to be expected, during the Ring of Honor tribute to Ultimate Warrior.
67* ImplacableMan: Once he has decided he is going to face wash someone, good luck stopping him
68* ImprobableUseOfAWeapon: He put a pair of brass knuckles in his mask and then headbutted Adam Pearce.
69* ImprovisedWeapon: Delirious reached outside the ring and grabbed a ''knick knack cabinet'' at ''GCW Adults F-N Only 2''. This came back to bite Diabolic Khaos when Billy [=McNeil=] and Matt Sydal made use of its broken splinters.
70* InTheHood: In Ring Of Honor, starting with his switch to Red.
71* ItCanThink: [[FunnyBackgroundEvent While MsChif was beating up Chad Paint for suggesting she give him a lap dance]] at ''GCW Adults F-N 10'', Delirious, seemingly at random, started climbing to the top turnbuckle, and then jumped out of the ring, landing on top of his opponent, Chaz Wesson, as Wesson was entering the arena, giving Wesson no time to get his bearings.
72* {{Jobber}}: This was his role in TNA, where he couldn't even beat other jobbers in dark matches, and dark matches is where he spent most of his time. This was also his role in Ring Of Honor. Better in the sense had more taped matches, worse in the sense that meant more people were seeing his losses, though it didn't really detract from Delirious's popularity. Eventually, Wrestling/JimCornette gave him a "win or be fired" ultimatum, which made Ricky Reyes his first ROH victory. After that, Delirious was allowed to win more ROH matches and became more of a jobber to the stars. Upon entry to the International Wrestling Cartel he was able to shed his jobber image almost completely.
73* {{Keet}}: In Pro Wrestling Xplosion he was compared to a track star for his tendencies to run around the ring, with the commentators wondering how he wasn't tired out before he actually got around to wrestling his opponent.
74* LaughingMad: Delirious has a tendency to talk to himself and chuckle during the parts of the match where he isn't taking any offense.
75* LoserLeavesTown: Lost one of these to [=UltraMantis=] Black in December of 2014, sending Delirious out of Chikara.Hallowicked spoke Frightmare's name in clear English and they left together.
76* ManBitesMan: Delirious and Jimmy Jacobs degenerated into biting one another during their IWA M-S first blood match. Delirious was accused of being literal minded when he bit Cheeseburger at Elite Wrestling.
77* ManiacTongue: Not all the time, but he has stuck his tongue out for no reasons several times. Sometimes there is one, such as BlowingARaspberry to the camera or try to taste some food but usually it seems to be a spontaneous thing.
78* MagicFeather: Delirious has many masks, all of which are little more than fabric. Delirious believes they give him the power to win matches though and becomes especially violent when someone tries to take away or damage one of his masks.
79* ManlyFacialHair: Delirious is an eccentric individual even when not factoring in that he is a cardio freak. He doesn't have time to shave, not until his beard starts shedding anyway. And it takes a long time for that to happen, as his beard has extended will past his chest.
80* MaskOfPower: According to his own site, Delirious lost his previous identity trying to emulate what they thought the mask represents but gained a sense of power and a false sense of security from it. If Wrestling/ChrisJericho is to be believed, he used to be an auctioneer.
81* MeaningfulName: According to Chris Jericho
82* MirrorMatch: At ''The Sordid Perils of Everyday Existence'', he and Hallowicked defended the CHIKARA Campeonatos de Parejas against Cheech and Cloudy. The match started with Cheech and Cloudy dressed up as Incoherence and imitating them very well, to hilarious results. Incoherence won the first fall and they chased their opponents into the back somewhere. Cheech and Cloudy came out as themselves and the match continued. Cheech and Cloudy won the second fall but Incoherence, of course, won the third.
83* MirrorRoutine: Did one in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POj9ANlRr4s this promo]] from [[Wrestling/NationalWrestlingAlliance NWA Wildside]], with Daizee Haze and referee Mike Posey as the second Delirious.
84* MotivationalLie: [[UnreliableNarrator Maybe]]. At the start of his [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/pa/w/iwc/iwc-si.html IWC Super Indy Title]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEuIinfZRqs defense]] against Wrestling/ChristopherDaniels at ''IWC Uncaged Fury'', July 7, 2006, among his usual ramblings, Delirious said that Wrestling/AJStyles, Wrestling/LowKi and maybe someone else had told Delirious that Daniels had been talking all kinds of trash about him and Daniels denied that he ever said what Delirious claims those people had told him Daniels said.
85* NoSell: Delirious and Hallowicked no sold the chops of Wrestling/ChuckTaylor and Icarus, letting [[FunWithAcronyms Friends In Similar Tights]] know they were going to have to work extra hard to retain their titles (which they did not)
86* 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.
87* OneSteveLimit: Homicide and Wrestling/SamoaJoe have both wrestled in some of the same promotions as Delirious and have a move known as the face wash but while they repeatedly rub their boot across a person's face, Delirious just touches them with his hand after sucking on it.
88* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: As a member of The Order Of The Neo-Solar Temple Delirious was not nearly as erratic or hyper active. When Ares released him from Ultramantis Black's control he went back to his running, rambling self.
89* PaperThinDisguise: He tried to duplicate CM Punk's hide in the crowd spot by stealing an audience member's hat. Not only was this tactic questionable since CM Punk is used to using it himself but Delirious's mask with ropes dangling off it made it even more obvious.
90* PartsUnknown: "The Realm Of Insanity", "The Edge of Sanity," [[Literature/TheDivineComedy "Dante's Inferno"]], the first thing he was given to a tangible hometown was "The Swamps Of Florida." In 2016 he was said to be residing in a cave "surprisingly close" to ROH offices.
91* PoisonousPerson: Delirious broke out a version of the mist called the "Red poison" against Hangmen 3, which seemed to temporarily close their airways so they could not breathe. This was revenge for them trying to hang him.
92* PowerStable:
93** Diabolic Khaos was a power stable for part of its run when [=MsChif=] brought in [[TheNapoleon Jackal]] and [[TheGiant Cabal]], the tag team known as Nightbreed. Cabal turned on the rest of the group and Jackal would not join Delirious and [=MsChif=] outside of GCW.
94** (in ROH): The Age of the Fall
95** (in FIP): [=DP=] Associates
96** (in CHIKARA):
97*** [[Wrestling/UltraMantisBlack The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple]]
98*** The BDK
99*** The Dark Army (with Ophidian and The Batiri [Obariyon, Kodama and Kobald])
100*** The Flood
101* PowerTrio: Incoherence after Frightmare joined him and Hallowicked
102* PrettyBoyPower: A trope Delirious refuses to believe in, he is the natural enemy of all {{pretty boy}}s. It started with Matt Sydal but really was played up when he was in Wrestling/DragonGate.
103* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy
104** 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."
105** At Local Town Wrestling's July 11, 2009 event, he and Wrestling/ChrisHero lost to the LTW US Tag Team Champions The Set (J-Sin and Lance Lude). In their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWHQoqjz_TU post-match promo]], Hero referenced [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Melvin_%26_the_Blue_Notes Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes]] and quoted Music/SnoopDogg's "Ain't No Fun (If The Homies Can't Have None)" and Delirious quoted the chorus of Music/DrDre's "Nuthin' But A G Thang."
106* PutOnABus
107** 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). After getting a win over Wrestling/AustinAries in a steel cage, Delirious has since stopped regularly performing at ROH shows, usually only popping up for special events such as when he wrestled Wrestling/ColtCabana in a match dedicated to the late Larry Sweeney or Wrestling/JayLethal in a match dedicated to the Ultimate Warrior at "A Night Of Hoopla".
108** Began to wrestle in Ring of Honor's Illinois-based shows in 2014.
109* RealMenEatMeat: At ''Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}} Bruised'', October 26, 2007, he started Incoherence's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4LjTEIVtBY post-match promo]] after they defeated Team F.I.S.T. (Icarus and Chuck Taylor) for the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/pa/e/chikara/chikara-t.html CHIKARA Campeonatos de Parejas (tag team titles)]] by proclaiming "Break out the sparkling water and the raw meat because Incoherence have become the Campeones de Parejas!" Four months earlier, at ''All Premier/PWE Zero to Sixty'' on June 24th, he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcAjxbstJpo&t=137s told]] Wrestling/ChrisJericho that he was getting ''paid'' in raw meat.
110* RedBaron: (in CHIKARA): "The Perfect Weapon". He's also been known as "Lizard man".
111* TheRival:
112** In Gateway he had a rivalry with Diamond Back Dingo, whom he trained. Delirious also faced off with one of his own trainers, Kid Kash (the trainer/student dynamic was not mentioned very often in Gateway however)
113** He had a significant feud with [[Wrestling/EvanBourne Matt Sydal (Evan Bourne)]] that started in Gateway but spread across several different organizations.
114** CM Punk specifically in IWA Mid-South. Punk's last match for the promotion was a one hour time limit draw with Delirious.
115** [[Wrestling/SethRollins Tyler Black]], in IWA Mid-South, FIP and Ring Of Honor in particular and particularly during the Age Of The Fall mess, where they seemed to alternate between friend and foe almost at random if you watched all three.
116** No matter how heated or personal his feuds with Jimmy Jacobs get, the two always seem to end up back on the same side, some way or another.
117** Austin Aries hasn't been a particular bitter enemy (though there was that time he kicked Deirious's throat in and that time he kidnapped Daizee Haze), but he has been a consistent one, perhaps surpassed only by Matt Sydal and Jimmy Jacobs in the amount of times they've faced each other, though they have worked together too in DP Associates. If Aries isn't #3 throughout the various promotions Delirious has been through, then it is probably Wrestling/RoderickStrong. Even Aries found Strong attacking an unconscious Delirious unconscionable.
118** Ultramantis Black in CHIKARA. Since very nearly the beginning of Delirious' association with the promotion, he and Ultramantis have been involved with each other in some fashion, usually at odds.
119* SanitySlippage: In Ring of Honor when Hangmen 3 stapled his mask to his face...he did not take it too well.
120* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: While on commentary at ''GCW Adults F-N Only'' Sean Vincent who was expecting not to have to wrestle, took off his referee uniform to chants of "[[FanDisservice Put your shirt on.]]" with five claps in between. Delirious sang along with them, and "sang" the claps.
121* SignatureMove: In Vitro Fertilization (gut wrench cutter) Multiple corner clotheslines (Never ending story) Panic Attack (running knee to someone sitting in the corner), banana phone (small package)
122* SlasherSmile - Even as a {{face}}, there's something unsettling about Delirious's smile.
123* StudentAndMasterTeam: Besides Daizee Haze, technically, Delirious has also teamed up with Leech Landa, who came out of the ROH Wrestling School while Delirious was at the head of it. Cheeseburger called on Delirious for aid against Wrestling/TheYoungBucks during the 2016 Conquest Tour.
124* StunnedSilence: When Steven Prazak tried to interview Delirious, to get his thoughts on being the first NWA Wild Side Super Indy Challenge Champion, he got no response from the wide eyed Delirious, who he noticed was drooling, copiously. When Delirious eventually opened his mouth he still could not find any words.
125* SuperSpit: "Lubed" his arms to escape a waist lock by B-Boy in IWA Mid-South. Wrestling/EddieKingston and Samoa Joe thought it was an unpleasing sight.
126* SymbolSwearing: His Website/{{Twitter}} posts [[https://twitter.com/ROHDelirious/status/1056173624363806720 read like this]], even if that isn't what he's doing.
127* TagTeam:
128** Diabolic [=Khaos=], with Wrestling/{{MsChif}}, when Chif's students were not with them anyway
129** [=Jiglirious=], with Jigsaw
130** Incoherence, with Hallowicked, pre Frightmare.
131* TeamPet: To the BDK. Even ''acknowledged'' as this by the announcers due to Ares dragging him around with a chain around his neck.
132* TournamentArc
133** Besides NWA Wildside's Super Indy Tournament in 2004, he was also in the Ted Petty Invitational hosted by Independent Wrestling Association Mid-South. He's also won the International Wrestling Cartel's Super Indy 5 Tournament. He joined with Eddie Edwards to compete in the 2011 Nippon TV Cup Jr. Heavyweight Tag League held by Pro Wrestling NOAH.
134** ROH's Survival of the Fittest, a series of qualification matches for an elimination match originally part of the Maryland Championship Wrestling's Shane Shamrock Memorial Cup before the RF video scandal caused MCW to leave, had become a tradition all its own by 2006. Due to Bryan Danielson and Samoa Joe's draw, Delirious had a smaller field to outlast than usual, them being [[Wrestling/TheBriscoeBrothers Mark & Jay Briscoe]], Wrestling/AustinAries and Matt Sydal.
135* TrashTalk: Large amounts of it, not that most people can understand or even realize he is doing so. After being freed from the eye of Tyr he did slow down enough so the audience can hear why the other guy is so upset, especially when Delirious was a rudo.
136* TrashTheSet: Incoherence (himself and Hallowicked) won the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/pa/e/chikara/chikara-t.html CHIKARA Campeonatos de Parejas]] at ''Bruised''. After the match, they cut a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4LjTEIVtBY promo]] while repeatedly hitting the big CHIKARA banner on the wall, causing part of it to come down onto Hallowicked.
137* TheUnintelligible
138** He tends to talk very fast and repeat himself a lot [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment or rapidly restate the point]] 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. Like most wrestling promos, his usually boil down to him saying he's going to defeat whoever his opponent is that night, he just doesn't take the shortest route to get there. Until he destroyed the Eye of Tyr at ''CHIKARA The Thirteenth Hat'' January 28, 2012, and shouted "I REMEMBER EVERYTHING!". He would speak intelligibly for the rest of his CHIKARA run, where he made clear that [[TheUnfettered he wasn't happy about what he went through]] while brainwashed by it.
139** Even after the Eye of Tyr broke, Delirious's handwriting and typing remain unintelligible, even moreso than his speech used to be...though if one looks at it hard enough, one can usually get the general idea even of what his text is trying to tell you. If you don't believe us, just look at his Twitter account!
140* UseYourHead: His Sternum Headbutt, for starters. At ''GCW No Pain No Gain'' he countered Kid Kash's double under hook piledriver by bringing his head [[GroinAttack up between his legs]].
141* VillainousCrush: Daizee Haze and Delirious did not start off as allies in GCW, incidentally, but she was made his 'translator' in ICW and Delirious eventually fell for her, though Haze preferred they stay "JustFriends". In Ring Of Honor he even found himself siding with her against his long time partner [=MsChif=], though Jimmy Jacobs put him between them on purpose.
142* WaxingLyrical: Incoherence challenged the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/ca/s/pwg/pwg-t.html PWG World Tag Team Champions]] the Dynasty (Wrestling/JoeyRyan and Scott Lost) at ''PWG ¡Dia De Los Dangerous!''. Because the show was in Reseda, California, amidst Delirious' usual ramblings, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UAeA4Eusfc he sang]] [[Music/TheBeachBoys "I really dig those styles they wear"]].
143* WoodenStake: Uses a wooden stake in GCW. The green mist everywhere. He brought the stake back in IWA Mid-South to use on Jimmy Jacobs in a first blood match.
144* WouldHitAGirl: If he was going to be true to the Ultimate Warrior, he had to go after "Wrestling/{{Sherri|Martel}}" at the ROH tribute show! Also, when he was a part of Age Of The Fall, Delirious would attack women at Jimmy Jacob's command. Outside of those roles, Delirious is a lot more reluctant. His solution to Wrestling/MikeBennett's meddling manager Wrestling/{{Maria|Kanellis}} was [[TakeThatKiss just to kiss her]], for example.
145* YouAreFat: Made such jokes in the direction of senior ROH referee Todd Sinclair, whom he had attacked while blinded at ''ROH Fifth Year Festival Finale'', believing him to be Colt Cabana.
