Beer is the wrestling name of Kenneth Cooney who was born in Aberdeen, Scotland on September 18, 1987. Raised by divorced parents moving from one side of the world to the other this professional wrestler was brought up in Aberdeen and Tokyo, Japan, where he trained under the watchful eye of Biiru Chitsu.
Background
Kenneth Cooney born in Aberdeen, Scotland, and was brought up in Tokyo at age eleven (11) by his father a financier, tax attorney and account in a Japanese Wrestling promotion. His parents divroced he spent most of his life jetting between his mother's house (Aberdeen, Scotland) and his father's house (Tokyo, Japan).
Flying from one side of the world to the other seemed to not bother Kenneth and he became more relaxed all of a sudden and was busted smoking cigarettes. Being torn between to fighting parents neither aimed to correct the errors in his youthful ways and he remained unscathed by discipline.
Wrestling
Not interested in the family business of tax law and accounting Ken's father tried to push him into wrestling. Seeing it as a way to avoid his father's boring life and a nice seg-way into booze, drugs, rock & or roll and babes, Ken decided to follow it and see where it took him.
Ken's father introduced him to Biiru Chitsu, a trainer with an extensive and celebrated history within the world of Japanese wrestling. Noticing the strengths of Ken almost immediately, Biiru catered to his strengths and weaknesses. Even the weakness of shortness of breath from smoking and fitness from drinking. But the thing which Biiru noticed the most was Ken's explosive athleticism and from there the pair worked together until Chitsu encouraged Ken to move to the United States to follow his wrestling dream.
Cooney happily moved across to America where the money was and more to the point, the fun.
America
Finally arriving in America, he sought to develop his character. His choice of home was Las Vegas, Nevada, as he'd heard so much and always secretly wanted to visit. This only seemed to fuel his passion for drinking and unleashed a new one in gambling. His smoking did not seem to desist and he puffed away like a chimney all the while working harder to keep in shape.
Not entirely satisfied with the ring name of Ken Cooney he went to work on character development when he finally came across the best in-ring name for himself. Drinking in one of the many casinos a bar-fly who had been watching Ken drink insisted that "he drank so much beer he would turn into it".
He had found his in-ring name and Beer was born.

Wrestling Moves
Beer relies on his explosiveness to overwhelm and overcome an opponent. Constantly moving forward with his attack, trying to leave no opportunity for an opponent to regain their bearings he comes at them with strikes and kicks and grappling manouevres that leave them off-guard and open.
The element of surprise is key and his athleticism is also a large key. Flipping out of moves, somersaulting out of the way, leaping over charging opponents, reversing the unreversable... athleticism and surprise is the key.
