"Hardcore" Dick Greco wrestles with a group of other wrestlers known together as Total Fucking Chaos. He does wrestle in mainstream matches but specializes in a type of wrestling known as "Deathmatch". Deathmatch wrestlers use weapons and gimmicks made by the wrestlers to inflict enough damage to make them bleed heavily as part of the show. these gimmicks typically will include, flourecent tubes, thumbpacks, razor blades, and barbed wire. These styles of matches will sometimes be performed in places outside of the typical match, including bars, backyards, parking lots, and music festivals. Deathmatch wrestling is illegal in his home state of New York, due to the graphic and dangerous nature of the sport.
One unique trait of Hardcore is that there is no different character, He is a punk in real life and he is a punk in wrestling. For most wrestlers there is a gimmick or character they step into, there is no veil in persona. It defies the typical wrestler, he is not a heel or a face, he is just hardcore and he is a punk, you can love or hate him it does not matter to his character.
Hardcore collects fluorescent light tubes that he uses in his deathmatches. The tubes are used as weapons because they pop, shatter, and cut the wrestlers. Light tubes are often taped together or formed into larger gimmicks such as crosses, swords, or attached to boards. Hardcore had a bundle of 53 light tubes broken on him at once.
