PERSONALITY -
Blue-collar pragmatic/KISS (keep it simple, stupid) type of guy, patient - rarely lets anything get to him, can be a bit of a contrarian/devil's advocate.

BRIEF HISTORY -
According to the "early life" on his meager Wiki, AK grew up as a fan of wrestling. He was ranked as one of the top juniors (high school) in Greco-Roman by the Wisconsin Wrestling Federation at 170 lbs and 182 lbs, as well as playing left wing in hockey, mostly grinding and enforcing over scoring. He started welding during a co-op placement and pursued an apprenticeship after graduation, jumping at the chance to work on wrestling rings and stages when his employer received orders from local promotions, using this as a jumping off point to start his own pro wrestling training. After several months of training 3-4 times a week, he made his debut, continuing to work the US-Canadian indy scene for years (mostly as a weekend warrior) without catching his "break", but his career path may be changing now that Lion's Road has taken notice.
PREVIOUS INJURIES -
Concussions from sports and wrestling, strains and sprains, bloodied lips and foreheads, nothing serious.
STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES -
Strength; durability - Kendrick has a reputation for some knock-down drag-out fights. He can dish it out, he can take it, and he can dish out some more.
Strength; K.I.S.S - he keeps it simple, stupid. Instead of a complicated exchange when he's in a hold, he'll just grab the ropes or charge his opponent into the corner. If he sees an opponent looking to dive, he'll move out of the way before they can or bait them in before avoiding it. Stuff like that.
Strength?; level head - hard to get a rise out of this one, for better or worse. Could be a disadvantage if his opponent is hyped to kick his ass and AK doesn't feel similarly.
Weakness; stamina - he's known for bursts of high-impact offense and most of his matches have been 15 minutes or less, which is great for the regular Lion's Road match, but he'd be grabbing a lot of rest holds if he got a 30 minute title match, or tagging out if he had a partner.
Weakness; unfamiliar styles - unlike freestyle wrestling, Jujutsu, or kick boxing, AK's background mostly ignored the lower body and fighting from the back. He's developed counters and workarounds like sprawl and brawl but a fighter skilled in these techniques could very well take advantage. The rules dictate fair fights but he still treats the ring like an alleyway, even if it means not taking full advantage of a situation least he be put in a compromised position.
SPORTSMANSHIP -
Kendrick has a baseline of respect for most people, even those with reputations unless he's got a good reason. He's pragmatic though, victory by stoppage, count out, etc. is fine as long as he gets paid.
FIGHTING STYLE -
Kendrick combines classic pro wrestling techniques with his Greco-Roman and hockey background, and street fighting sensibilities. He mostly attacks with his upper body and prefers to stay on his feet and off his back. The major difference between him and other pro wrestlers is that he uses his environment - a lot, from simple rope breaks to smashing his opponent's head into the buckle or mat, sending their shoulder into the post, etc.
SIGNATURE MOVES -
- Rhea Special (lock-up followed by punches until the opponent ducks, then an uppercut)
- Tooth Hurty (head stomps, usually while holding one or both arms, could be a jump or dive)
- Whiplash (Lariat or Northern Lariat)
- German or wheelbarrow suplex, release or bridging, sometimes as a deadlift
- Superplex
- Kneeling sleeper hold
FAVORITE MOVES -
- 2-on-1 tie-up into - can be done as Irish whip counters too
- Headlock takeover neck crank
- Shoulder throw
- Paperclip (Lat whip throw)
- Twisting belly-to-belly slam
- Lifting waistlock slam
- Gutwrench suplex
- Wheelbarrow corkscrew slam, usually from a deadlift
- Kneeling front facelock crank, often with a gator roll
- Charging hockey check, usually from the side or behind an opponent, commonly into the corner, ropes, guardrail, etc.
- Chest, side, or back mount, followed by cross-face punches, bionic elbows, forearm grinds, and sometimes knees
- Environmental attacks into the turnbuckle, ropes, apron, guard rail, etc. (slamming his opponent's head, shoulder thrusting him into an object, grinding his face on the ropes, dropping him on the ropes or turnbuckle, throwing him into something, and so on)
COUNTER MOVES -
- Duck under into a double leg or waistlock takedown, followed by punches
- Headbutt
- Rope break
TAUNTS -
- Cupping his hands around his mouth and shouting "All Day" into the crowd
- Tapping his wrist like a watch to signal Tooth Hurty
