Entrance description: "Doon in the Wee Room" covered by the Dropkick Murphys and Beer emerges from the back smoking a cigarette and with a beer in his hand, swigging and smoking his way down the ramp. Gets down to the ring and chugs down the remainder of his beer can before tossing it into the crowd. Leaps up onto the apron and lands without having to use his hands. He steps through the ropes and walks across to the far left turnbuckle, sticks his cigarette in his mouth and climbs the turnbuckle and raises both fists into the air.

--- OVERALL STYLE
Beer's style is a mix of Roddy Piper meets the likes of the Great Muta.
He's exceptionally athletic and that is displayed in styles with flips and cartwheels and lots of speed. The downfall to his athleticism is his smoking habit which has impacted his stamina. He understands the impact it has had and tries to use a repertoire of submissions and sleepers to try and catch his breath otherwise he may come undone to his opponent and being breathless is definitely a weakness.
He is very structured inside the wrestling ring, has a fantastic technique but he's not as fit as he should be due to his constant alcoholism and smoking. His style is quite explosive and seems to rely on the surprise element as he has an air of the unexpected about him, his opponent's may never be able to anticipate what he will do next simply because of his explosive nature inside the ring. This may also bring him undone, as his surprise moveset can catch himself unawares and leave himself out of position and liable to attack should his not come off as desired.
Beer has an excellent reversal conversion, which is part of this explosiveness he is capable of. This being so it does not always goto plan and can move himself out of position and take a bump HARDER than he should. Which can leave him open to an offensive momentum that he sometimes cannot overcome again due to a heavy blow being out of position attempting a reversal.
--- MOVES
Beer relies on his explosiveness to overwhelm and overcome an opponent. Constantly moving forward with his attack, trying to leave no opportunity for an opponent to regain their bearings he comes at them with strikes and kicks and grappling manouevres that leave them off-guard and open.
The element of surprise is key and his athleticism is also a large key. Flipping out of moves, somersaulting out of the way, leaping over charging opponents, reversing the unreversable... athleticism and surprise is the key.

Bio: Kenneth Cooney born in Aberdeen, Scotland, and was brought up in Tokyo at age eleven (11) by his father a financier, tax attorney and account in a Japanese Wrestling promotion. His parents divroced he spent most of his life jetting between his mother's house (Aberdeen, Scotland) and his father's house (Tokyo, Japan).
Flying from one side of the world to the other seemed to not bother Kenneth and he became more relaxed all of a sudden and was busted smoking cigarettes. Being torn between to fighting parents neither aimed to correct the errors in his youthful ways and he remained unscathed by discipline.
Not interested in the family business of tax law and accounting Ken's father tried to push him into wrestling. Seeing it as a way to avoid his father's boring life and a nice seg-way into booze, drugs, rock & or roll and babes, Ken decided to follow it and see where it took him.
Ken's father introduced him to Biiru Chitsu, a trainer with an extensive and celebrated history within the world of Japanese wrestling. Noticing the strengths of Ken almost immediately, Biiru catered to his strengths and weaknesses. Even the weakness of shortness of breath from smoking and fitness from drinking. But the thing which Biiru noticed the most was Ken's explosive athleticism and from there the pair worked together until Chitsu encouraged Ken to move to the United States to follow his wrestling dream.
Cooney happily moved across to America where the money was and more to the point, the fun.
Finally arriving in America, he sought to develop his character. His choice of home was Las Vegas, Nevada, as he'd heard so much and always secretly wanted to visit. This only seemed to fuel his passion for drinking and unleashed a new one in gambling. His smoking did not seem to desist and he puffed away like a chimney all the while working harder to keep in shape.
Not entirely satisfied with the ring name of Ken Cooney he went to work on character development when he finally came across the best in-ring name for himself. Drinking in one of the many casinos a bar-fly who had been watching Ken drink insisted that "he drank so much beer he would turn into it".
He had found his in-ring name and Beer was born.
