⸺ ELP / EL PHANTASMO . 38 . former bullet club . smart-ass . class clown with a heart of gold .
riley has always been a bit of an anomaly; bright, sharp, and creative, yet proud to march to the beat of his own drum. even in his own family, he often felt like an outcast. life didn’t come as easy to him as it did for his siblings. wrestling became his escape, the one place that made sense when the rest of life never quite fit. commitment, stability, staying still… none of it ever suited him, and he made peace with that long ago. a cancer battle nearly took it all away, but he survived the only way he knew how: with reckless optimism, humor, and a refusal to stay down. these days, he’s still chasing the next thrill, still figuring out his place, and still very much the same lovable asshole he’s always been.
