Gimmick: 2.0 is an a*****e. His main dispute with others is that he is a 'Higher Version' of professional wrestler, and this obviously makes him better then everyone else, in his mind. He takes pride in his excellent out of the ring psychology, as he is very good at pissing his opponents off before a match. He is known for taking potshot heat from the crowd, as he insults them, but is more well known for insulting an entire roster, making more enemies then thought possible. Kelly works alone in most occasions, but is not agianst going tag team with someone else. He just doesnt want to make a profession out of it. A trait that has always helped 2.0 get along in the business is that he has a very convincing disposistion. Perfect for lying. When he says something, people tend to listen, and believe him.
King made his start in a small time federation called the GWF, Glitch Wrestling Federation, with his brother. He ran the promotion until it failed in trying to take over a rival company, and lost a lot of money in the process. He moved on in his life to indy federations.
Kelly was at one time in his career the WWF Middleweight Champion, his first actual Title Belt. However he vacated himself from the posistion shortly before quitting the WWF for better things. He did not like the way things were run there.
He began a run in the Barton Town Wrestling Federation, which was shortlived as he entered the BTWF during their Final Chapters. He lost his first match, a tag team match with Cral Cool as his partner. At the Final Chapter show for the BTWF, Kelly participated in a Full Metal Mayhem match, which would also be the final Tag Team Championship match in the BTWF. Kelly took a few major bumps, falling off the ladders many times, and even taking a flying Ace Crusher off the top of a ladder. However, he would indeed leave the BTWF imprinting his own legacy as 1/2 of the BTWF's last Tag Team Champions.
2.0 found his next home in WWE Unlimited, where his charismatic mic skills, and untapped wrestling ability won him the 2006 WWE:U Royal Rumble Match. 2.0 went on to WrestleVasion 1 into the Main Event against Randy Orton for the World's Heavywieght Championship. After a huge match, 2.0 lost when the ref failed to notice his feet on the ropes. 2.0 continued his career there on the Smackdown! brand, losing in a 5 Man Battle Royal for the World Title as the 2nd to last man eliminated. 2.0 then beat the Undertaker and then Randy Orton in a #1 Contenders tournament for a shot at the World Title. He would lose the match against Desciple at Rebellion, in a good match. He would continue to fued with Desciple, and went to Insurrection, in his home town, on his birthday, and faced Desciple for the World Title in a Chained Link Hell match. He lost once again. Finally, he challenged Desciple one last time, claiming he had won the CLH by submission when the referee wasn't looking. Desciple accepted on the account if he lost, he would leave Smackdown and go to RAW. 2.0 accepted the condition. At Total Devotion, 2.0 defeated Desciple in the Anywhere But Here Match to win the World title. After the match, 2.0 removed Desciple's mask, a sign of disrespect. The lights went out, and when they returned, Desciple was gone. 2.0 would later he say he'd vanquished him to whence he came, keeping the mask as a souviner. 2.0, now World Champion, was forced into a 3 Way Cage Match for the title in his first Title defence. When controversy riddled that match, it was turned into a No DQ match that 2.0 won by pinning Matt Stone. Apparently Desciple was not ready to quit when he came back at World Domination. 2.0 faced Desciple in a 3 Stages Of Hell match at the Digital Rumble, the first fall a submissions match, the second a falls count anywhere match, and the third in a ladder match, for his World Heavyweight Title. 2.0 won the submissions match and lost the falls count anywhere match, and finally defeated his rival in the ladder match to retain the title once more, however, he lost Desciple's mask back to him as a result of losing the second fall. 2.0 campaigned to Teddy Long that he had earned a break, and when the Royal Rumble winner did not choose his title, 2.0 said he would not have a match at WrestleVasion 2. However, Teddy held a number one contenders match, where AJ Warner and Xw tied. At WrestleMania, he defeated Xw and AJ to retain his World Title. 2.0 held his title until WWE:U went on hiatus, vacating all titles, in September, almost a year long title reign. When WWE:U returned from the hiatus, 2.0's gimmick had vastly changed to one of an eccentic and insane competitor, professing his love for the World Title that ran away from him after a year long reign. He competed against Randy Orton, Xw, and Jed for the Undisputed Title at the first return PPV, but Randy Orton pinned Xw and Jed to win the title. Plans seem to see 2.0 competing in the 2008 Royal Rumble.
2.0 has also come to AWA, still seeking his true spotlight.
Despite his first few matches being losses, the GM put 2.0 into the 6-man 2 briefcase Ladder match. Another match that 2.0 excelled in and took charge of, but he lost at the last second to The Hawaiian Dragon. Although AWA has gone Indy, and his paycheck has been severely cut, 2.0's loyalty to the AWA has found him availiable to continue working for the promotion, despite the lack of funds.
King had a brief stint in XWA, long enough to win the XWA Heavyweight Championship from reigning champion, Homicide. XWA went bankrupt with King as Champion.
XWA re-activated later, and King returned to the promotion with the XWA belt, illegally, on his shoulder. However, in a suprising turn of events, CEO Tim Silvia awarded the former Champion the title. King was challenged next to immediately by Christian.
2.0 can be found now, wrestling in WWE Twisted Flow. His career there was seeded a long time ago in the time of the GWF, but most recently came homeing in as an enemy of Randy Ortons. He and Orton fueded for a while, even though 2.0 was actually only fueding with him as a part of Edge's fued with him, involving the ability to book Orton in whatever matches he wished. 2.0 fought Orton at Wrestlemania in the Twisted Flow to a Double countout. 2.0 was later enlisted as the General Manager of the Twisted Flow, until complications arose, resulting in, seemingly, the death of a superstar in a Bed of Nails match. The superstars tag team partner, AJ Warner blamed 2.0 for the incident and berated him with a barrage of insults and slander. Finally, 2.0 responded and accepted AJ's challenge, turning face for the first time in his career. 2.0 met AJ Warner in an I Quit Match at SummerSlam, where the loser would quit the Twisted Flow, and their wrestling career, while the winner would become the #1 Contender to the World Heavyweight Championship. 2.0 fought valiently, but was knocked out during the match, allowing Warner to extract revenge by using a recorded voicing of 2.0 saying I Quit, to fool the referees. They called it and 2.0 was officially out of Twisted Flow. However, 2.0 returned at the main event of SumemrSlam, having been chosen as Ortons challenger for the World Title in a Double Jeapordy match, and he won the title, pinning Orton for it! 2.0 would'nt stay face for long. After confronting a returning legend, Shawn Michaels, and slapping him across the face before hitting him with the 2.0ver, King sparked events that would come to terms in a Fate Fourway for his championship at the PPV AntiLaw, between him, Randy Orton, Prodigy, and HBK. HBK superkicked 2.0, allowing Orton to pin Prodigy and reclaim the title. Because of this, 2.0 assaulted HBK more than once, challenging him to a match at Re:Venge, a voting show. Between AntiLaw and Re:Venge, 2.0 joined a Neo Degeneration-X, in an attempt to turn face. This angered Shawn Michaels, who joined forces with X-Pac and Triple H to re-create the original DX. 2.0 defeated Shawn Michaels in a Watch Your Step Match at Re:Venge, via disqualification. 2.0 feuded with him to Mind Tricks, where HBK and 2.0 were actually partners against AJ Styles and Mike Landry. HBK submitted to Mike Landry, and 2.0 seemed to show respect of HBK after the match. Despite this, Shawn attacked King, and tore his ACL, putting him in on the shelf for injury.
2.0 has taken his knowledge of wrestlign to GWE now as well. He has shown interest in the GWE Title, but in the chaos of the new federation opening, he has decided to take a back seat until it calms down. However, he has already brought SEVERAL new ideas to the guild, many are being well recieved by Comissioner Austin. 2.0 introduced the Money in the Bank Conqueror's Match, a match where he defeated Akio, Triple H, Chris Benoit, Shane McMahon, and Mad Dog to become Mr. Money in the Bank.
But most of 2.0's wrestling, especially after Twisted Flow, is done in WWE Action Faction. 2.0 debuted with the obvious intent of defeating Randy Orton for the World Heavyweight Title. He masterminded a plan against Dave Batista, turning everyone against him, before revealing himself as a true assailent after winning number one contendership. Vince McMahon, angered by 2.0, made his future World Title Match at the Great American Bash a triple threat between him, Batista, and the champion Randy Orton. Soon after this announcement, 2.0 faced Atma Raptor in a hardcore match, losing due to interference from Batista.
Among other adventures in Wrestling, 2.0 competes often in interpromotional tournaments, such as the X-Cup, and the Best in the US Tournament, as well as indy dates in DCW often.
