Description (optional): Ken is a small; bent, old man. In his younger day's his large body, and long arms and legs, made his stand up striking, and power wrestling style one of the most devastating in this industry. Now that he his older, arthritis and height reduction has made his approach to wrestling a little more technical. That is just his physical description though, and to truly understand Ken Acton you must understand his mentality. See Ken has old ideals, that he feels aren't being upheld by the new generation of superstars. He feels that Professional wrestling in general but especially hardcore wrestling has lost its class. He makes it his personal mission to show how he thinks Pro Wrestling should be represented every time he gets into the ring.
Ken has been wrestling his whole life, he got his start in the Portridge Catch Wrestling Club at the age of 11, he was quick to make a name for himself, and after a meet were he cross-faced an opponent so stiffly that he broke his nose in three places, his first coach James Portridge IV, put him through one of the most brutal training regiments anyone had ever seen. By the time he was thirteen he weighed two-hundred thirty pounds and stood at over six feet tall. In the ring he was an absolute brute, and powered through his opponents like a power saw through butter.
His start in Professional Wrestling came, like with many a contender of his time through Catch wrestling at circuses in Birmingham, at 17 he adopted the stage name of "The Lancashire Bruiser", as an act he would bend steel rods, rip leather belts in two, and bite cart wagons into pieces. He also held a "Friday Night Main Event" in which he would wrestle local champions and brawlers in an original style Iron Man Match for five minuets, during this time he went undefeated, beating over two-hundred contenders. He was discovered by a know forgotten American booker and promoter, Art Shtricler, while he was on vacation, and was convinced to leave for American to pursue a life of Wrestling. At the age of 26 he re-located to Madison,Wisconsin.
Ken wrestled for Regional Promotions all over the state, he secured several small titles and awards but never secured a World Championship win. He had now grown his hair out, and had a crooked smile he had heavy eyes and a strong jaw, and many of the ladies found him attractive, he begin wrestling under the ring name of "Pretty" Ken Acton. He had awful battles between Ric Flair, and Gory Guerrero, and a young Jimmy Snuka. He stopped his active career at the age 45, and went into a period of semi retirement, and did a bit of training for WCW. He finally retired in 1998 and went into seclusion in his home town of Lancashire.
In Ring Attire: Ken wears read wrestling leotard trunks, white kneepads, black wrestling boots, and white wrist tape. His trunks have been in the family since his Great Uncle "Limey Joe" Acton wore them.
Entrance Attire: The attire is pretty much the same as his in ring apparel, but he is cloaked in a silk, Union Jack print robe.
Cut Scene Attire: Outside of the ring Ken usually wears a gray or black Armani suite, with a black or white pen-striped shirt and silk Baby Blue/Royal Blue neckties. He covers his feet with white Stacy Adams loafers and wears a golden Rolex on his wrist. His suites are dry cleaned regularly, and his shirt is always military pressed. He wears his ruby duded cuffs showing slightly and the second and third buttons from the top are always fastened.
Entrance:
It's A Long Way to Tipperary

[British Accent]|
"Will everyone please stand as Mr. Ken Acton makes his grand entrance into the arena."
The air runs thick with a chorus of defeating boos, and repulsive slurs from every corner of the arena as "It's A Long Way to Tipperary" by the Royal Army Rangers plays over the PA system. Ken Lawrence Acton walks stolidly from behind the curtain and onto the stage. The drums roll and the trumpets flare, and Ken is draped in his long Union Jack print coat, he has his head held high, and he is grasping the Red Rose Flag of Lancashire
|[British Accent]|
Making his way to ring from the greatest country in the world, standing at a towering 1.8 Meters tall, and weighing in at a bone shattering 18.2 Stone. "Pretty" Ken Acton!

I thought he said that he was pretty, but he's like ubber old, like you Hank. I don't get it.
|Hank[Pugilisticly]|
Hey did you just call me ugly or something, you know I have half the mind to...oh forget it. It's been said a million times the word pretty referred to looks when he was young, but now they refer to his wrestling style which is one of the greatest in the sport.
Ken is half way down the ramp now, and despite harboring the hatred of the crowd with every slow and heavy step, he continues to wave the flag high in the air, and he goes on this way until he reaches the ring. Placing his flag and his robes in the hands of the referee too have them kept at ringside, he enters the cage He then strolls around the ring in anticipation of the bell.
