PERSONALITY/GIMMICK
Anti-Riley Calix.

Declan's older, half-brother was always the star of the family and went on to become a staple in Ultraviolent wrestling on the West Coast in SoCal Ultraviolent. Riley is now a trainer for the company. Declan Hale (born Declan Calix) did everything he could, from the time he could walk, to separate himself from Riley, to be noticed as his own person. He acted out, starting and getting in fights at a very young age all the way through his teens - but Riley was always there to protect his brother. He and Stassi, his on-again, off-again - High school sweetheart of a wife, moved East so Declan could begin to build his own career, far away from his brother's reach in the West. The Factory will be the place where he begins that..

WRESTLING STYLE: Smashmouth, explosive offense. Stiff strikes and heavy impact maneuvers - earning him the "the Hand Grenade" alias.

WEAPON OF CHOICE: His fists. Get creative. Wrap barbed wire around them, glass, knux, whatever.

IN-RING EXPERIENCE: Three years

STRENGTHS:
1. Explosive Offense. Once the bell rings, Declan is a man possessed. He'll attack his opponent with heavy and hard strikes, and high impact maneuvers. Always looking to finish the match as quickly as possible. 
2. Pain Threshold. Declan has spent the majority of his life fighting; instigating and taking beatings - and he always came back for more. He's had his fair share of injuries from these fights, including broken bones, but that has never stopped him previously. Seems to be a good fit for a place like the Factory.
3. Composure. While his main strategy is to come in swinging, Declan has been known to keep a level head if things don't go his way instantly. He'll battle back into position where he can once again deploy his strategy. Big matches and crowds don't come into play for him. His focus is generally on his opponent .. and Stassi.

WEAKNESSES:
1. Technical knowledge. Sure his brother is a successful wrestler and trainer, and sure Declan knows his share of high impact offense - but when it comes to technical knowledge and defensive tactics, he's not so bright. His mentality is, and always has been, go in - guns blazing - and worry about everything else after. 
2. Stassi. His on again, off again wife. She doesn't accompany him to ringside all that much, if at all, but he knows she's usually somewhere within the building. And Declan isn't a stupid man; what's a way to distract and get under someone's skin? Their significant other. So his head is always on a swivel when it comes to her and her whereabouts/well being.
3. Left knee & Right ankle. Throughout his life he's sustained more than his share of injuries and broken bones. But there's none more lingering and dangerous to him as his left knee and right ankle. He tore his ACL in his left knee, which has healed up - but he wears a knee brace to protect it still. He's also torn tendons in his right ankle that have never healed properly.
4. Stamina. Due to Declan always going in full head of steam, he's never excelled when a match goes a lengthy amount of time.

IN-RING ATTITUDE: Aggressive, unrelenting and fearless to his opponents, no matter who they are.
