DAN BENNETT
Heel/Face/Tweener
Dan Bennett has fluctuated between face and heel throughout his long career, mostly based on the present situation and/or his friends' involvement in said situations. Much like his former counterparts in Rated X, though, his alignment has generally transcended the basic face/heel dynamic beliefs. Due to him doing what he personally thinks is right, his view on things has been skewed sometimes and doesn't always line up with what others think is right. Throughout 2018, though he had been considered a heel for the most part, as the year ended and his retirement was forced upon him, he was transformed back into a babyface.

Style
High-powered, mat-based aggression with an extremely keen sense of ring awareness. Although he had trained with Alex Sean and DGX on his ground attack and the ability to stay on top of his opponent, his technical abilities still suffer and as a result, any submission applied more complicated than a basic armbar or hammerlock will cause him to try and get to the ropes as fast as possible. As he has been in the business since 2003, he has honed his ability to single out a body part to wear it down, becoming one of the more dangerous men in the ring, especially since he is usually working toward his submission finisher, the Ode to Rated X. His age has worn his reflexes a little bit, but with age comes wisdom and he has learned how to work the ring even better than before. He is certainly not above bending the rules to turn the tides in his favour.
