FIGHTER INFORMATION
REAL NAME:
Alex Kincaid
STAGE NAME:
N/A
NICKNAME(S):
The Bullet King
HEIGHT & WEIGHT:
6’1, 240ilbs
DATE OF BIRTH:
January 14th, 1982
PLACE OF BIRTH:
Bearing, Alberta
FIGHTS OUT OF:
The Platinum Coast
YEAR OF DEBUT:
May 9th, 2000
ALIGNMENT:
7. Kincaid is, mostly, a good guy who does his best to fight the good fights. He’s honest about his struggles and his motivations, and that tends to get people on his side. However, he’s a pretty traditional pro wrestler in a shoot styled company who doesn’t quite fit the Lions Road archetypes. Add in the fact that seems comfortable running his mouth to opponents to get under their skin and some section of the audience has trouble getting behind him.
PERSONALITY:
The Bullet King is the son of Canadian coal country who his found the one thing in life that makes him happy. Professional wrestling is his muse, his inspiration, his everything and he feels more connected to it than most. He calls himself The Bullet King because he thinks of himself as the shot of honesty the industry needs, out there to speak truth to power and change things for the better even if it rubs everyone the wrong way. After a difficult 2017, he’s moved to the Platinum Coast, a small city in the Gulf of Mexico to try and revitalize his career in 2018. He’s highly motivated, but has yet to pick up that big defining win.
EQUIPMENT:
Kincaid wears short black trunks with his Bullet King logo on the side and a line down each side. The color scheme on these switches from black/orange/white, black/blue/white and black/purple/white from week to week. He wears black boots, black kneepads with a similar color scheme to his tights He wears nothing on his arms.
CASUAL ATTIRE:
A guy who calls himself King, who views himself as the appointed defender and leader of an entire industry has to dress like it. Kincaid likes his suits. He sticks to the same color as his wrestling gear, which is to say a lot of black suits with purple, dark blue or especially orange ties. His sharp dress is a recent development, so he still looks slightly like he's self consciously putting on an image, but he's getting there.
WALKOUT ATTIRE:
N/A
WALKOUT THEME:
“I Am” by Hands Like Houses
ALLIES/RIVALS:
None yet, although he’s lost titles in other companies to James Edwards
BRIEF HISTORY:
Alex Kincaid was born in Bearing, Alberta a coal town just below the Northwest Territories. It’s a harsh land, a rough place to grow up and wrestling served as his escape from a difficult upbringing. When he was a teenager, he headed south to Calgary to train under famous Welsh catch wrestler Steve Llewellyn. It was Steve who give him both the technical chops and tactical know how to survive and make a name for himself as one of Canada’s top mat grapplers. In the mid 2000’s, Kincaid began to resent a wrestling industry that seemed to ask more and more of it’s performers and he become a firebrand, vicious heel striking back against it for crippling coworkers he admired. Along with his Following - including future wife and manager Alyssa - he terrorized the wrestling scene of the Northeastern United States and Japan for years.
But he wasn’t happy. Lines were crossed, and eventually he left to what he thought would be retirement. The Kincaid’s married and in early 2016 adopted a daughter. Eventually, needing to provide for them, he felt the itch to return. He got back to his older, mat based style at first but difficult matches in UKWF and Lions Road forced him to adopted a faster paced, harder hitting style of wrestling. In 2018, he finds himself frustrated with his progress. 2017 started strong but petered out by the end. He’s motivated to get back on track, gaining confidence in his wrestling ability while also realizing he needs to start getting big wins to move forward.
PREVIOUS INJURIES:
- Torn ACL in left knee
- Minor cervical strain in neck
STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES:
Strengths:
1. Impact: Kincaid is often described as a human cannonball and he hits exactly like that. Once he gets moving, he's a juggernaut who is excellent at crashing into his opponent with a variety of offense. If you can contain him on the mat, he can be worked over but as long as he can get going around the ring he can be very hard to stop. This means he can suddenly take advantage in a context where he seems to be finished off by suddenly exploding into motion and hitting a big move.
2. His Mouth: So, above I noted how much time Kincaid has spent as a firebrand heel. Even though he’s trying to fight on the side of the angels now, the part of him that is very, very good at getting under his opponents skin hasn’t gone anywhere. Kincaid will trash talk opponents while he’s working them over on the mat, or give them a well timed slap to draw a charge into a counter. Look through our profiles and note how many characters have some variation of “a temper” as a weakness. Alex will exploit the hell out of that.
3. Fan Connection: Kincaid has always had a special relationship with the audience. Even when he was at his absolute worst, a certain section of the people loved him. Now that he’s trying to be better, he’s won over even more of the crowd. He’s connected deeply with them, and the fans applauding or spurring him on can be the final thing to get him back to the mat. It’s not uncommon to see him down, vulnerable, and to look through the ropes at his people only to charge back to his feet and resume the fight.
Weaknesses:
1. Agility: Not that he was ever the fastest thing in the world, but Kincaid’s history of knee injuries have slowed down his raw agility. In a straight line, he hits like a train, but when it comes to quick, lateral movements the faster members of the roster will be able to flummox him with their athletic skill.
2. Knee Injuries: Bluntly, Kincaid’s left knee is an absolute mess. A severe ACL injury several years ago nearly made him retire and the video of it was one of those famous wrestling industries that blew up on YouTube. As such, nearly every opponent he faces knows the obvious way to take Kincaid down is to target that knee. Some of it’s obvious right? You can’t suplex or charge for a lariat if your knee is a mess. But here’s a thought for matchwriters: Going for the Straight Shooter requires he hold a squat. Hard to do that on a bum knee!
3. The Wife: While Alyssa is a big help, she can also be a hindrance at ringside. Alex will do anything to protect her. If a less than moral opponent target her, Alex would immediately fly to her defense even if it meant exposing himself to extreme danger.
SPORTSMANSHIP:
Overall, Kincaid certainly believes in sportsmanship. He’s got a firm idea of what he thinks wrestling is supposed to be - viewing it as the greatest example of human potential and the one thing in the world he’s really good at - so he gets a little personal insulted when people don’t live up to his ideal. He views himself as defending the pure style of professional wrestling in Lions Road, and so he resents the modern martial arts influenced members of the roster a bit.
FIGHTING STYLE:
Kincaid is wrestling with more and more confidence as he begins to properly adapt to the Lions Road style of wrestling. Certainly, his wrestling is more traditional than some of the roster but his development is becoming more and more pronounced and he’s learning to adopt his arsenal of quick dragon screws, european uppercuts and low dropkicks to the Lions Road style of fighting. He likes to attack opponents with a blistering mat game, relying more on his natural athleticism and instinct than he does complex battle plans. Once his opponents are softened up on the canvas, he’ll start moving in on them with big suplexes and slams. Lately, two moves have started to become more pronounced as the building blocks of his offense: Short arm lariats as quick momentum shifters, and low running dropkicks to seated opponents as huge set up shots to bigger moves.
With him becoming frustrated with his place in Lions Road, he’s started wrestling with more and more outward swagger. If other people aren’t going to see him as the star he thinks he’s capable of being, he’s going to present himself like one until they do. Instead of driving fans away, it’s started to make fans in other companies take more interest in him. We’ll see whether this holds in Lions Road. In ring however, this means he’ll sometimes take time to taunt opponents in subtle ways while he wrestles them. Before hitting his opponent with those low dropkicks, he’ll sometimes give them a quick smack to the back of the head and moves like his Right! There! Elbow have pronounced taunts that are risky to pull off against some of the Lions Road competition.
SIGNATURE MOVES:
The Finishing Touch: His newest developed finishing move, a Fireman’s Carry into an Ace Crusher. Usually set up with a quick Short Arm Lariat or gut kick. I’m aiming for his big match combo to be his Llewellyn Lift German Suplex, followed by him pulling opponents up and hitting the Short Arm Lariat followed by The Finishing Touch.
The Straight Shooter: Boston Crab, typically set up with a quick Dragon Screw. His secondary finisher.
The Over Easy: Release Suplex Slam
Right! There! Elbow: With his opponent on the ground, Kincaid points to their chest and yells “Right!” before leaping into the air and smashing down with an elbow drop and shouting “There!”
From On High!: Frog Splash/Frog Splash style crossbody. His former finisher, and it could still win him some matches but usually it damages his knee so much he can't cover properly before an opponent recovers.
The Short Arm Lariat: A major building block of his offense has become this quick, momentum changing lariat. It’s not common to see him in a bad spot and see him suddenly snatch an opponents arm and blast them with one of these to get back into things.
The Llewellyn Lift: German Suplex. The signature move of his trainer, Steve Llewellyn.
FAVOURITE MOVES:
Dragon Screw
Snapmare to Low Dropkick
Shinbreaker
Half Crab
Achilles Lock
Suplex
Jumping Neckbreaker
Arm Wrench into DDT
Running Knee Lift
Front Powerslam
Spinning Uranage
COUNTER MOVES:
Short Arm Lariat
Back Body Drop
Hurricanrana
TAUNTS:
1. A quick slap to the head of a seated opponent, before flying across the ring to the ropes to go for his seated dropkick.
2. Pounding his one fist to his chest and shouting something out at the crowd, especially a crowd that has been lukewarm to some high effort maneuver to fire them up.
3. After winning an exchange on the mat, Kincaid will slowly advance on a grounded opponent while slightly squatted down to get under their skin.
