Colin Delaney

Colin Matthew Delaney (born September 7, 1986) is an American professional wrestler.

He is best known for his time with WWE on its ECW brand, All Elite Wrestling (AEW), and has performed extensively on the independent circuit for promotions such as Squared Circle Wrestling, Chikara, NWA Upstate, Combat Zone Wrestling, and the International Wrestling Cartel under the names Colin Olsen and the "Extremely Cute Wrestler" Colin Delaney.

Delaney first started as a commentator for Rochester, New York, promotion Roc City Wrestling.

He soon moved to their competitor, Rochester Pro Wrestling, where he trained as a wrestler by Rik Matrix and ROH's Ring Crew Express.

Since then he has worked for NWA Empire, NWA Upstate, Chikara, UWA Hardcore Wrestling in Canada, Squared Circle Wrestling, Buffalo Championship Wrestling, Roc City Wrestling, and CZW promotions under the ring name Colin Olsen as part of the tag team, The Olsen Twins with partner and kayfabe brother Jimmy Olsen.

Nicknamed "The Feel-Good Tag Team of the Decade", Colin and Jimmy Olsen were a pair of goofy heels with teenybopper-like interests, such as listening to music artists like Savage Garden and Britney Spears.

Wrestling as Colin Olsen, Delaney has won wrestling championships.

For his first championship, he teamed with his kayfabe brother Jimmy to win the NWA Upstate Tag Team Championship on November 13, 2004 by defeating the Ring Crew Express (Kevin Dunn and Mean Marcos).

They held the belts for over six months before dropping them to The Outcast Killaz on May 14, 2005.

They also captured the RCW Tag Team Championship on January 20, 2006 defeating the Prophets of Pain (Father Synne and Hard Knox) and held it until June 9, 2006.

On May 19, 2007, Olsen defeated "Mastiff" Will Christianson and Damien Alexander to win NWA Empire's Lord of the Dance Championship, a title which can only be contested in three-way matches.

On June 7, 2007 Colin and Jimmy Olsen wrestled for Action Packed Wrestling in Rutland, Vermont, in a 3-Way Scramble Match against Dunn and Marcos and Rhythm and Booze.

Colin's last defense of the NWA Empire's Lord of the Dance Championship was on December 8, 2007 where he wrestled his kayfabe brother Jimmy Olsen and "Mastiff" Will Christianson.

He was first beaten by Shelton Benjamin on the December 18, 2007 episode of ECW, before getting squashed by Big Daddy V two weeks later.

At an NWA Empire show on February 9, 2008, Delaney vacated the title due to his ECW brand commitments.

Delaney made his World Wrestling Entertainment debut as a jobber, seen wrestling on the ECW brand.

On the January 8, 2008 episode of ECW, Delaney was beaten again, this time by Mark Henry from the SmackDown! brand.

Delaney would also be squashed by Kane and The Great Khali.

On the January 29, 2008 episode of ECW, WWE Tag Team Champions John Morrison and The Miz defeated Delaney in a Handicap match.

After the match, The Miz and Morrison continued to attack Delaney, but he was saved after Tommy Dreamer came to the ring.

Delaney picked up his first win in WWE on the February 26, 2008 episode of ECW, defeating The Miz and John Morrison in a tag team match with Tommy Dreamer.

On March 11, he and Dreamer challenged The Miz and Morrison for the WWE Tag Team Championships in an Extreme Rules match, but came up short after having lost a subsequent title match the week before.

In subsequent weeks, ECW General Manager Armando Estrada informed Colin that he would have to acquire his first singles victory to win an "official" ECW contract.

Delaney unsuccessfully faced a number of superstars, including his own mentor Dreamer, whom Estrada threatened to fire if he lost the match.

Finally, on the May 6, 2008 episode of ECW, Delaney defeated Estrada himself via a sunset flip to win his contract, which he had legitimately signed in February.

He lost his "first match as an ECW superstar" against Mike Knox and then was beaten by Estrada when he signed himself to the ECW roster.

Estrada was defeated by Delaney after already being defeated by Matt Hardy moments earlier, thus removing Estrada from the roster, per the orders of new ECW General Manager Theodore Long.

On July 20, 2008, at The Great American Bash, Delaney turned heel by costing Tommy Dreamer his ECW Championship match against Mark Henry.

On July 29, however, on ECW, he lost to Matt Hardy, which caused Henry to turn on him.

The next week on ECW, Delaney remained a heel and helped Estrada beat Dreamer to earn his ECW contract.

This led to an Extreme Rules match against Dreamer, where he was easily defeated.

On August 15, 2008, Delaney was released from his WWE contract due to budget cuts.

On that same day, Delaney worked his first match back on the independent.

Working for UWA Hardcore Wrestling, Delaney joined former partner Jimmy Olsen in a winning effort by defeating Up In Smoke.

On September 6, Delaney returned to Chikara, where he received a thunderous ovation.

However, the next night he turned heel, attacking Jimmy Olsen and then joining with Vin Gerard and STIGMA to form The UnStable.

He also cast aside his Olsen surname and began using his Delaney surname.

In the company he was trained by, NWA Upstate, He came back as a face for a few shows until he turned heel by helping heel champion Danny Doring retain his NWA Upstate title.

He finally cost Danny Doring his title on September 5 to Pepper Parks and the two are now feuding.

Currently he is mentoring a stable known as The Young & The Wrestlers which is made up of newer heel wrestlers.
