Wrestler's Outlook: .
Background: Kenneth Howard IV was a mild-mannered plastics worker for Mattel. With a wife and children Ken was the perfect family man living the middle class life, until a freak accident at the assembly line left Ken's skin glossy and plastic. The literal transformation into the human doll left Ken lonely and heartbroken as his family slipped from his grasp. Howard resorted to alcohol and extravagant living hoping to wipe the happy memories of his former life clear away. In the midst of his depression (and quickly accumulating debt), Ken saw a notice for talent at a small Poughkeepsie-based fed, Reject Wrestling Federation, and thought he would give wrestling a try. Thus was a reject legend (in his own mind) born.
Ken Howard developed a name for himself in the minor-league circuits of wrestling, winning television titles with both RWF and Psycho Wrestling Federation. During this time of successes, Howard held a shaky alliance as half of the tag team The New Confederacy (with The Ultimate Reynool). It was in Psycho Wrestling Federation, that tragedy came to Howard’s career for the first time. Increasing arrogance, culturally offensive pre-match segments, and a tragic accident deforming his friend and manager Kevin Appleby forced Howard into an early retirement.
Following his short career, Ken Howard made a short return to the ring in Riot Star Wrestling. His tenure at RSW involved a wild and bitter rivalry with Voodoo master Eric “Scarecrow” Winters that included the gain (and loss) of love, zombies, explosives, and sheer gimmick art not seen since the Gobbity Gooker. Only after Winters ran over Howard with a steamroller at AnarChristmas did Rob Riot and company put an end to the insanity. Will such madness continue with Ken’s debut in the XHF Network? Only time will tell…

In-Ring Info
Wrestling Style: In the early years of his career, Ken Howard did not understand the nuances of professional wrestling. Rather, he watched old videos of college wrestling matches that he found in his basement!? Therefore, his move set has a foundation in traditional takedowns and grappling, often to the horror of his opponents. Howard uses his small stature and athleticism to his advantage, preferring to outsmart his rivals over pure offensive fury. This does not mean that he is immune to playing dirty, as when provoked he will resort to using hardcore weapons, such as a kendo stick or his trusty sledgehammer lovingly named “Lenny.” Howard often will attempt to taunt his opponents while forcing them to submit due to his flexibility and close proximity in matches.
If you can imagine a cross between Ken from Toy Story 3, Chucky from the Child’s Play franchise, the athleticism of Shawn Michaels, with a touch of southern charm (and bigotry), you have Ken Howard in general.
