Appearance: From the Gold Coast of Australia, the athletically build Kit Kelsey simply looks the part. His hair in a styled tangle of blonde, and dressed in t-shirts and board shorts for as long as the weather will allow, the young grappler could easily be mistaken for one of the many surfers who inhabit his hometown. That said, make no mistake-- while surfing may be an occasional fancy, it's wrestling that's Kelsey's passion. In the ring, his attire usually consists of blue and black tights, often with a lightning motive running down the side. He is also known to wear black boots, wrist tape and a smirk that belies just how serious he is about this sport.

Wrestling Style: All-arounder / Highflyer

Finisher's Name: ??? (None Given)
Signature Moves: Michonoku Driver, Dragon Whip, Package Piledriver, Sliced Bread #2, Uranage Gutbuster, Head Pull into a Backbreaker, Springboard Clothesline, Flying Guillotine Leg Drop from the top rope, Moonsault (standing and rope variety), Phoenix Splash (rare)

Background / History: For nearly four years, Kit Kelsey had entertained fans in Australia with his high-flying style of wrestling. A penchant for both pushing the pace and the envelope during a match, the Queensland native gained a reputation for always adding moves to his ever-expanding repertoire.

"There's not a maneuver I don't want to try out at least once. If I'm hitting more than I'm taking? Even better," joked Kelsey in an interview dated January 4th, 2011.

How ironic is it then, that a move he had performed hundreds of times in his career -- a Phoenix Splash -- would lead to an injury severe enough to sideline the grappler for nearly 7 months?

"I just landed the wrong way and my shoulder took the brunt. Dislocated it pretty bad and put a tear in the rotator cuff," Kelsey told PSWrestling.com about the cause of his recent layoff. "For a while I was convinced if it wasn't for bad luck, I didn't have much luck at all. Looks like things might have turned a corner, eh mate?"

Indeed, Lady Luck seems to be back at Kit Kelsey's side as months of patience, rehab and an unexpected break culminated in him winning the PSW title in his first night as competitor. Now, back in the ring, the Australian looks to be deadset on making up for lost time.
