Kenjiro Ito
Kenjiro Ito (born April 30, 1979) is a Japanese professional wrestler. He is currently a free agent, having competed for several well-known promotions both in the U.S. and abroad. He is known for his feuds with wrestlers such as Sonny Silver and Wippit Guud, as well as his devastating Ito's Ice Age finisher. He is also a loudmouthed arrogant prick.
IOW International
Ito signed with IOW International out of a desire to prove that he could be more than the traditional Japanese system of bringing up rookies could be. He competed for the first time in his homeland, defeating former fWo talent Jason "Shocker" Elliott in the first round of a tournament for the IOWi United States Championship with the Ito Special. His stay in the tournament was ended a round later in the semi-finals, where he fell to fellow young lion Kazuki Sato.
Ito was set to battle Xias in the promotion's big annual league, but IOWi folded before this could happen.
Jolt Wrestling
Based on the strength of his debut match in IOW International, Jolt Wrestling officials offered Kenjiro a contract. Ito made it clear from his very first appearance on American television that he was not the typical Japanese wrestler. Showing a love for shooting his mouth off and making arrogant claims, Ito backed them up almost instantly in a shockingly dominant debut victory over Brandon Youngblood. In this match, Kenjiro debuted his devastating Ito's Ice Age finisher, a cross-armed sitout high angle powerbomb.
Ito tore his way through a tournament to crown the first ever Jolt Wrestling Triple Crown Champion, defeating two opponents before defeating Jonathan Conspiracy in the semi-finals with help from Xias. This earned Ito a trip to the semi-finals, against former Action! champion and veteran Jeff Garvin. Leading up to the match, Ito insulted both Garvin and his wife incessantly, turning their semi-final match into a blood feud.
The two men collided at Jolt's premiere PPV, WrestleSault, and neither man gave any quarter. Ultimately, Garvin was victorious, defeating Ito with his patented Memphis Death Certificate. Unbelievably, Ito managed to come back after his bloody war with "the Original" to outsmart Chris Mezz in the consolation match and become Jolt Wrestling Ambassador Champion.
Over the course of a three-month reign with the title, Ito put the belt on the map, becoming a dominant champion. Over the course of eleven successful defenses, he defended his title against outside talent such as Sonny Silver, Aimz, and Alias, defending the belt in PRIME and ACW as well as Jolt.
Ito finally lost the title to Ken Kaze in a hardcore match at the Mayfall PPV, leaving Ito to chase after the Triple Crown Championship
