Biography: Keeps a lot of his personal life private and has no desire to divulge it. Very boisterous and loves to joke around, his life some how brought it to the doors of Deathmatch wrestler Ash Murdock, who taught him how to wrestle i the most brutal way possible. Ironically A.J. Knight really does not like the Hardcore stye all that much preferring to wrestle having been taught it was a gentlemen's sport by a veteran he met at another promotion he used to work for before it shut down.
After arriving to Lions Road he quickly began pursuing the Iron Title and engaged in a feud with James Edwards which quickly became personal. He was soon after fired due to allegations of attacking a referee. After being rehired via Eli Buchanan and Buck U Productions he became embroiled in the Red Army Saga which for better of worse attracted a lot of main stream attention to Lions Road. During this time he was mentored by Ben Chrenshaw, and very nearly won the King of the Lions Title from Julian Cutlass, simultaneously becoming the Runner up in the Laurentide Cup. In the end with the help of Hammerstein, and Eli's wife it was revealed that it was in fact Eli who framed him for attacking the referee in question. He won his way out of his Buck U Productions contract by defeating Eli's hired muscle Iron Mack Brody in a wild Street Fight.
Shortly after he would find himself in a personal blood feud with his former best friend Hammerstein, which traumatized his nephew Davey, which ended in a brutal Texas Deathmatch.
In 2018 AJ Knight revived his rivalry with James Edwards taking him to a draw in the Heritage Cup. Shortly after he would finally defeat his childhood idol Julian Cutlass to claim the status of Ace. After winning the World Title at the Anniversary show by at last defeating defeating his life long rival. With that he began a crusade to start a new era in Lion's Road which began with a Laurentide Cup victory.
His war with Alexander Irvine and the WALL, left AJ frustrated and disillusioned as Lion's Road closed its doors for good. In addition to the betrayal of his longtime friend and mentor Ben Crenshaw, and a scandal involving reporter Becky Chande, AJ is a broken man trying to find the man he used to be.
Previous Injuries:
Nagging Elbow Injury: Sustained in early Spring 2018 at the hands of Justin Seville.
Neck Injury: Sustained after a piledriver on a chair from Justin Seville in March of 2018. Is more public knowledge than his elbow. This injury never healed properly as AJ never took time off for it.
Wrestling Info:
Weapon: None, is surprisingly hesitant to utilize weapons except in dire situations.
Fight Style: A.J is a strike influenced technician who weaponizes showmanship doing what he can to frustrate and get under an opponent's skin, doing annoying things such as making smart comments, posing for the crowd or starting disparaging chants towards his opponents, as he wears them down with holds and strikes, hoping to catch the opponent unaware with a big move. AJ is not known for going into a match with an actual strategy. He mainly bases his gameplan on the information he gathers in the early parts of a match. A tactic that he commonly employs, is repeatedly changing the pace of a match to keep his opponent from establishing a rhythm.
Sportsmanship: A.J is an interesting case. If it's up to him he will extend the handshake to an opponent however he is notably very aggressive in the ring. As can be seen from his usual interactions with Becky Chande he enjoys messing with people and getting under their skin. He will trash talk them to try to trick them into making a mistake. He also rarely breaks submission holds before a 4 count reminding the official he has until 5 to break. He has verbally gotten into it before with Xavier Price over that very tendency in fact. In spite of his general demeanor, AJ has come to view cheating as a valid strategy in Pro Wrestling... Just as long as you do it on your own.
