Personal Life
Anthony J Skills Jr was born in Detroit, Michigan to Anthony J Skills Sr and Kristina N Skills. His father was a part time wrestler on the side of working at a local Ford factory in town. His mother lived her life as a stay at home mother. When Anthony Jr was at about the age of 13, his mother died in a horrific car wreck. Anthony was devastated by this and it caused him to go on a downward spiral; dropping out of school, drug possession charges, jail time, and rehab were what would unfold. After leaving rehab, at the age of 15, he began to get on the right path. He enrolled himself into an online school and was able to finish up high school by the time he was 17. He had it all planned out. He would always say that he's going to school to be a mechanic; he always wanted to work on cars. They were, and are still today, one of his obsessions. A little after he graduated high school and started going to mechanic's trade school, his father found out he had Stage 3A Lounge Cancer. Anthony Jr did his best to stay strong and took care of his father, who ended up eventually bed ridden until his death, after a two year battle. Most thought that Anthony Jr would go back into his downward spiral after this, but he didn't. He stayed on the right path and made it to the exams in mechanic school. He sat at home two nights before the exams and watched some of his father's old wrestling matches and it started to hit him. He made up his mind and decided to skip his exams and instead enroll himself into a near-by wrestling school. He began to train at the "House of Truth" school of pro wrestling, training under professional wrestler Truth Martini. He learned a lot of what he still uses today from that school. He stayed in the school for 8 months before he got scouted by a small indy federation. He wrestled for them for 5 years straight, sharpening his skills, learning more, and performing to his heart's extent every night. Fans would simply look on in awe during his matches and promos. Finally, a bigger federation, IWA, ran by Trent Acid, scouted Anthony Skills in 2009. He joined the federation as "AJ" Skills, as AJ was his nickname that his father called him as a child. He stayed with the federation for only 1 month before leaving and going off the map for a while due to family issues. Finally, he resurfaced in 2011, joining FWE, ran by King Manny. He joined FWE, once again as "AJ" Skills, and wrestled for them for two seasons. After his short run in FWE, he jumped over to their sister federation, FRW, ran by JmK. When he joined FRW, he debuted a new gimmick, joining as "RatHood". A creepy, bummy looking guy who carries a rat in a cage with him to the ring. He would go on to eventually get injured and have to stop wrestling while he went through multiple back and neck surgeries. He eventually reappeared, now as the founder and owner of his own wrestling promotion which he called BreakDown Wrestling. He hired a young promoter named "Kraze" to be his General Manager and would wrestle like everybody else in the show, now back as "AJ Skills" while Kraze ran it. After one season, BreakDown Wrestling shut down due to low funds. After BreakDown Wrestling didn't work out, Anthony joined a larger federation than he had been in before, ORW. He debuted with a new, cocky gimmick; still named AJ Skills. He now, instead of doing his best to impress the fans, would boo the fans, rile them up, and insult them often. He would have a small feud, then disappear from ORW, no-showing the rest of his contract. Suddenly, a few weeks later, BreakDown Wrestling once again emerged. This time, BreakDown had much better funding, sponsors, graphics, everything. Anthony once again wrestled as AJ Skills while Kraze was back as general manager. BreakDown Wrestling lasted for another two months before Anthony was mugged, kayfabe, and put out of action for nearly three months. The company that was "BreakDown Incorperated" was bought out by CEW, another wrestling federation, and it was re-branded as "CEW: BloodSport". The new owner was Kraz-J and Anthony returned immediately, but as a completely new gimmick. He joined CEW: BloodSport as "Dink The Clown", a demented, sick-minded, psychotic clown. He would often play tricks with his rivals and prank them. He'd also play sick mind games with people that he was in a storyline with. At the end of the month, CEW: BloodSport had it's first Pay per view. Dink the Clown fought Kraz-J over, what seemed to be, a non-kayfabe argument they had about the company's ownership. After the pay per view, CEW cut the funding of BloodSport, due to low ratings for the season. After CEW: BloodSport closed down, Anthony went back inactive for unknown reasons for nearly two months. He finally made his return to ORW in 2014, going on a win streak with 8 wins and 0 losses. He ended up losing a match to Tidus for the World Championship at the pay per view, ending his undefeated streak. For the next month, Tidus and AJ Skills would rival over the championship furiously. AJ jumped through hoops to get his rematch; but eventually, he did. At the Pay per view, AJ successfully defeated Tidus to earn his first championship in his career; the ORW World Heavyweight Championship.

Career
- ORW [ September 2013 - October 2013 ]
AJ Skills made his ORW debut on September 29th, 2013, in a tag team match with Hyperelf, facing Hieu and Gregory Star. When he first entered the arena he announced that he would be the new face of ORW and how he was going to go through the roster one by one until he was the only one left, and go on to be the ORW World Champion. Hyperelf and AJ Skills went on to win the match, after Gregory Star left Hieu to get submitted by Hyperelf. On the October 6th edition of ORW, AJ Skills and Hyperelf came out to the ring to cut a promo, and AJ Skills started out by talking about how he didn't think Hyperelf would be able to pull of the victory. Hyperelf got angry at the comments by AJ, and got in AJ's face. Hyperelf would then attempt to leave the ring before getting blindsided by a vicous clothesline and SkillBomb by AJ Skills. Then, on the following week, AJ was placed in a one on one match, where he would face Hyperelf in a successful effort. On October 13th, AJ Skills would come out to the ring and state what he wanted; The Intercontinental Ore Championship, held, at the time, by Quick Johnny. He would go on, later in the night, to team with Gregory Star to defeat Joey Mercury and Hyperelf. AJ Skills was not in attendance on the season 5, episode 4 edition of ORW due to a movie shoot. He returned at the PPV, 1 week later, where he had a victory over Hyperelf. He then disappeared from ORW.

- ORW [ March 2014 - Present ]
AJ Skills was a last minute entry into the ORW Heavyweight Championship tournament. He came in on week 1 of the seventh season and devastated his opponent, Dreamkiller. He then went on to the second week, where he was able to pull off a victory against the insane Rory oReily. Then, he advanced to the Semi-Finals where he defeated Prince Shredder. He went on to week 4, where he faced Death Rattle in a Last Blood match, as picked by Tidus. He then went on to the Pay Per View where he faced Tidus for the ORW World Heavyweight Championship. After a long fought, brutal war at ORW's PPV on April 20th, 2014, AJ Skills suffered his first loss, losing to Tidus. May 11th, 2014 started a new season to ORW, where AJ Skills came out, accusing Tidus and Hieu of conspiring against him to make him lose the match at the PPV the month before. AJ Skills went on to defeat Ravaging Ron in a One fall match. AJ Skills would go on, the next week, to call out Tidus once again, and then publicly asking Hieu for a rematch. Hieu would not come out to answer his request, but after a victory over Andrew Anderson, AJ may have shown how much he wants his rematch. On week 2 of season 7, AJ Skills also attacked Degree after his match with Hurricane Earl. Then, in week 3, AJ Skills was scheduled to have a one fall match vs Degree, but the match was interrupted and made a "No Contest" after Hurricane Earl Lockyer, mad about his defeat at the hands of Degree, came out and attacked both men. In week 4, AJ Skills defeated Hurricane Earl Lockyer and Degree in a Triple Threat Match, where the Number One contendership for the ORW World Heavyweight Championship was at steak. AJ Skills now goes on to June 8th at the ORW Season 8 PPV "Blood, Sweat, and Tears" in an I Quit match vs Tidus for the ORW World Heavyweight Championship. After two brutal SkillsPlexes, AJ Skills manages to make Tidus say "I Quit" at ORW Blood, Sweat, and Tears on June 8th, 2014; AJ Skills becomes the new ORW World Heavyweight Champion.
