Bryan Dawkins
Career Highlights

Born March 20th, 1986, into a family rich in wrestling tradition, Bryan Dawkins entered the world at 8:52 am. His father, ex-Hawaii Championship Wrestling Superstar Kenneth Dawkins, was relieved that after having two daughters before Bryan, he would finally have someone who could carry on his legacy as one of the greatest wrestlers ever to come out of Hawaii.

Kenneth was one of the top draws for the small Hawaii-based wrestling company, and was one of the fan favorites. He won every major championship in the company, and is often regarded as one of the greatest wrestlers to ever step into a HCW ring.

Now, with the birth of young Bryan, the Dawkins family wrestling legacy could live on. Kenneth was determined that Bryan would become as good as, if not better than, he was. From the age of six, Bryan was being taught every move in the book from his father himself, or by watching old tapes of his father, among other wrestlers from the company, back when they were in their prime. He studied before he went to school, and afterwards.

In school, Bryan was an excellent student, getting all A's and B's on his report cards. He was part of HCW's developmental deal by the time he turned 16, and was soon wrestling "dark matches" before the shows. His father was his manager, and trainer, so he knew that he would soon be at the top of HCW's ranks.

Through his High School years, Bryan's grades stayed about the same, and he had been offered a scholarship for wrestling at the University of Hawaii's main campus. Bryan and his family were thrilled about the scholarship...everyone in his family, except for his father, that is.

Days after his scholarship was offered, Bryan got another offer...this one being from Hawaiian Championship Wrestling, his father's former company, and the company that Bryan had been wrestling dark matches for years.

This brought tension in the Dawkins household. Bryan couldn't decide where he was going to go after High School. He had a chance to go on to the University of Hawaii, where he could both go to school to become something, should his wrestling career fall out, and wrestle competitively for the University. Yet, he also had the chance to begin reviving his father's legacy by joining HCW. His mother and sisters said they supported whatever decision he should make, but his father seemed like it was either HCW, or he didn't want anything to do with Bryan.

So, Bryan joined HCW. He had very little success there, with his father pushing him so much as to take too many, or too little risks during matchups. After 6 months with the company, Bryan's record was a shameful 3-16-1. The worst thing was that his father had been on his back, saying that he wasn't the problem, but that Bryan himself was! Bryan couldn't take it anymore. His scholarship offer had been revoked, as the school year and wrestling season had already begun.

Bryan had to do something. His father was running his life, and matter-of-fact, ruining it. Kenneth was making Bryan do stupid things during matches, most of the time causing him the match. He was getting ridiculed backstage for his actions, often being called "daddy's little boy" by the veteran stars of the company. Bryan was sick of the abuse being dealt upon him by his father, and his co-workers, so he made the only decision he could...

He quit HCW, without the consent of his father. Bryan was now jobless, and fatherless, as his father had abandoned him. He was now living off of the funds he had earned during his tenure in HCW, living in an apartment in his hometown of Hilo, Hawaii. He couldn't go on this way. He needed a job, and needed one fast. His training never stopped, though he was out of wrestling for a few months. In his mind, he still had a chance to make his dreams become a reality. His constant training would soon pay off...

After months of searching, an English-based promotion called for Bryan to compete amoung its ranks. RISK Wrestling, run by Steven Hunt. Along with Carson Nash, Dawkins ran the show, being one of the top talents of the federation, winning the High Risk Championship on his third performance with the company. But, as most things in Bryan's life, RISK took a turn for the worse, shutting down nearly a month after it opened due to going bankrupt.

When he saw the ad for PRIME Wrestling’s Dual Halo Match, he quickly jumped at the opportunity to "audition" for another organization. This was Bryan's ticket to success, so he thought. Bryan had his sights set on getting into PRIME’s Dual Halo Invitational, but more importantly, he had his sights set on the ultimate prize...a contract with PRIME!

Bryan entered the Dual Halo match at the 32:00 minute mark, and survived for nearly an hour and a half, battling the likes of Tony Rolo, Tony Gamble, Danny Ferguson, Hank Cobb, Cozen, and the eventual winner, Tyler Rayne, before being eliminated by Crucifix. Now, mere days after his success in the Dual Halo, PRIME has offered Dawkins a roster spot. Only time will tell if this will be where Bryan finally hits the jackpot, so-to-speak, and proves everyone wrong...
