Likeliness to break the rules or cheat: 5 out of 10? He’s hot blooded. He can be driven into a rage and cheat, but then when he calms down he’ll usually feel pretty ashamed of it. This temper can be exploited for sure.
Bio: Born the son of a Canadian coal magnate, it would have been very easy for Alex Kincaid to grit his teeth, tolerate his emotionally abusive father and eventually inherit the family money. If there’s one thing that’s always remained true about him it’s that he doesn’t know how to take the easy way. He left home at sixteen, becoming the ward of legendary Welsh wrestler Steve Llewellyn and moving into the Llewellyn House in Calgary. Along with three adopted brothers, Alex learned a hard nosed, brutal wrestling style that taught him to direct his anger and aggression in a productive way. He was a standout amateur wrestler in his youth, and his explosive athleticism at his size made him a terror on the hockey rink. His first love was ALWAYS pro wrestling though. From early on he knew being a wrestler meant more than just being a talent, it meant being a part of a legacy. He took that responsibility seriously.
But a growing discontent would get him into trouble. He didn’t find himself surrounded by proud technicians or legendary warriors.. Instead it was filled with exploitative promoters and stars who didn’t care about the next generation - he turned to anger. Anger turned him to drinking, drugs and demanding change from companies around him. His passion would win him over a lot of fans, but they couldn’t see how his life was falling apart behind the scenes. His wife, Alyssa, was his biggest supporter and she would eventually encourage him to walk away from the industry to clean up his life. During this time away a former college classmate of Alyssa’s, English import Amelia Terrance would become the family business manager and help launch the retired wrestler to new heights.
Within the last three years the Alex Kincaid inspired “Infinite” brand has become a worldwide phenomenon. Sneakers, athletic wear, shirts, if there’s a piece of sports inspired merchandise on the planet odds are you can find the distinctive Bear Skull logo of the brand and his “This We Defend.” message. It turned a country boy from Canada into a surprise international celebrity. Even more confusing, there’s a new addition to the family in an adopted daughter, Maggie, and this has driven Alex to return to the ring despite him saying he’d never return. He comes back to an uncertain role in the business, as a veteran who has never achieved success inside the business he loves and only found his way after he left it. Can he make his return work? Only time will tell.
Face Claim: Henry Cavill
Ring Gear: Short trunks typically colored silver, black and red with his This We Defend skull logo on the front and back. Kneepads matching his tights. Black boots and wrist tape. Messy brown hair. Beard.
Ring Entrance Gear: Floor length sleeveless ring robe.
Entrance Music: “Delirium" by The Dead South
Ring Entrance Notes: Kincaid enters the ring a high energy bundle of nerves. He’s always accompanied to ringside by a pair of managers. Alyssa Kincaid is his wife and moral center. She’s usually offering general hype and telling him he’s prepared. On the other side is Amelia Terrance, a more devious and tactical mind who offers him advice on the coming contest. He’s all twitchy muscle and wild eyed glances around the arena until he makes it to the ring. Then he takes a deep breath and composes himself, climbing into the ring and posing on the top turnbuckle to stare out at the audience before the match begins.

Stats

Strengths:
Explosive Athlete: Though he’s getting a bit long in the tooth in the wrestling business, Alex Kincaid is still very speedy for a heavyweight wrestler. He’s a human cannonball, all about getting up to speed and smashing opponents with big lariats, splashes and dropkicks. It’s not so much about his ability to fly around the ring as it is his ability to turn matches into wild brawls by virtue of him always moving forward. Many an opponent has thought themselves in a position to finish him off, only for him to explode into motion and smash them in the face with a big boot.
Experienced Wrestler: Alex has been in the game for around 15 years and has a better understanding of it than most. You’re rarely going to see him make any obvious mistakes. If he’s close to the ropes and can use them to escape a hold, he will. If an opponent is charging him, he’ll dodge at just the right time. If he’s calm, he’ll see opportunities to cheat coming. The man knows what he’s doing.
Ringside Managers: Never underestimate the value of three sets of eyes! Kincaid comes to ringside with a pair of managers. Alyssa Kincaid is able to spur him to keep fighting when things look at their worst. When it looks like he’s about to give up, she’ll be the one to yell at him to keep fighting and it almost always seems to work. Amelia Terrance is a tactical genius, and can often shout just the right move or counter move to get him out of a tough situation.
Weaknesses:
Injured Knee: In 2012, Kincaid horribly injured his knee on a dive over the top rope to the floor. He smashed into the barricade at high speed and dislocated his leg at a disgusting angle. It was one of those viral injuries that tons of folks online have seen, and so any wrestler who’s heard of him knows what he did to that leg. Add to the fact that he wears a kneebrace, and its an easy target for any opponent to go after.
Easily Manipulated: As experienced as he is, Kincaid is an open book with his emotions. It’s very easy for a smart opponent to manipulate him and get him into a contest he can’t win. He’s the guy who chases opponents out of the ring only to get stomped on when he tries to chase them back inside. He’s the guy who tries to rush opponents in the corner and eat an eye poke. Once his temper gets up, his brain can go out the window.
Ringside Managers: Oh yeah, they’re noted in both for a reason. Kincaid is deeply attached to the women who help lead his career .As such, if they’re in danger he will drop everything to defend them. If his managers are threatened he’ll rush to their defense. He’s lost more than one match by countout as a result, OR had opponents take advantage of the brief distraction to put him down.
