HEIGHT & WEIGHT - 6'1" / 264 lbs.
DATE OF BIRTH - June 21st 1994
PLACE OF BIRTH - Kahului, Maui, Hawaii
YEAR OF DEBUT - January 2017
ALIGNMENT - 3. Young, gutsy kid. He has plenty of fire in him and wants to succeed on his own merits. He'll fight a bitch, but he'll do it fairly.
PERSONALITY - All-round nice guy that is looking to break out with his wrestling career dedicated to his deceased sister. Intelligent and well-spoken overall, but also a bit of an emotional hothead at times.
RING ATTIRE - Black and orange underwear-style trunks (left half black, right half orange). Black wrestling shoes (not boots), black wrist tape, black thigh wraps (rugby-style).
CASUAL ATTIRE - Various t-shirts, jeans, sneakers. For press conferences, he'll wear business casual (polos, slacks, etc.).
WALKOUT ATTIRE - Black towel draped over his neck, a necklace that has a charm with his sister, Julie's, name listed on it. The necklace comes off for matches. Ke'Ala Kingdom (wrestling school) sleeveless shirt.
WALKOUT THEME - "King Kong" by Gorilla Zoe
BRIEF HISTORY - Jonah Ke'ala is a big, proud young man that actually didn't grow up with a particular itch for wrestling like it was for his sister, Julie Ke'ala. He went to school and played football before he got into rugby at a championship level overseas.
Unfortunately, tragedy struck at the end of 2016 when Julie Ke'ala passed away in a ring during a match with a move off the top rope gone wrong. Jonah knew how much it meant to Julie to have a wrestling career. He couldn't explain it, but he decided to shockingly make the jump and got trained by cousin Ohiyama (Jimmy Ke'ala) and then spent a year in Japan, then a year and a half traveling abroad until late 2020 when he reached LRX.
PREVIOUS INJURIES - Various bumps and bruises from his college days playing rugby, but nothing serious.
SPORTSMANSHIP - He is fair and takes sportsmanship seriously. He won't be the first to shake a hand before the match, wanting to save any of that stuff for after the match, but he won't refuse if offered. He may show frustration in a loss, but not to the point where he's attacking somebody.
STYLE - His style is something he refers to "Hit Anything That Moves." Not a complicated wrestler, opting for chops, clubbing forearms, power moves and due to his rugby background, a repertoire of tackles. Not really a submission guy aside from very basics and his best counter is powering out of things.
FINISHING MOVES -
1. Ihe (Striking Spear aka Gore)
2. High Angle Backdrop
SIGNATURE MOVES -
1. Eruption (Silding Shoulder Tackle to seated opponent)
2. Black Hole Slam/Spinning Side Slam
3. Samoan Drop
FAVOURITE MOVES -
1. Knife-edge chops
2. Jumping senton
3. Headbutts
4. Powerslam
5. Football tackles
6. Guh punches
7. Corner avalanche
8. Corner chops
TAUNTS - Beating on his chest three times and a point to the sky
Ripping his shirt off mid match (fire up the crowd spot, a la Angel Garza or Taichi ripping off their pants).
