Foster (RLS CAS)

Entering at PRIZE July Special 2018.

**Kelvin Foster** *(born 28th May 1997 in Lincoln, Lincolnshire)* is a professional wrestler best known for his spell with PRIZE Wrestling League, where he performed under the mononym **Foster**.

He trained at the School of Hard Knocks under Australian wrestler Simon Lowe**1**.

## Career

### PRIZE Wrestling League (2018-2020)

Foster was signed to an "informal agreement" with PRIZE by it's founder Mikey Ace and his trainer Simon Lowe**2**, confirmed to be competing for the newly created Nova Championship in a Ladder Match at the PRIZE June Special 2018, which he lost.

He was then inserted into a #1 Contender Eliminator Match at the PRIZE July Special 2018 against Mikey Ace, British Samurai and Matsuda, managing to eliminate BritSam after a few hard chair shots and a pin before being rolled up by Ace and eliminated.

Foster was one of the previously freelance names confirmed to be full-time with the company in late-July 2018. He'd debut on PRIZE Fights in October 2018, losing to fellow debutant The Trick. Not long after he was placed into a feud with Nova Champion Mikey Ace. Though he performed well, The Trick was added back into the mix for unspecified reasons, eventually replacing him outright at Eyes on the PRIZE 2018. Inside sources indicated around this time that Foster's prankster nature had rubbed several members of the locker room- Mikey Ace included- up the wrong way**3**.

Despite these issues, Simon Lowe was able to persuade Ace to give the youngster a chance, and the feud was continued across the next month. Foster would, at Walk The Talk 2018, lose to the champion in a gruelling contest that Squared Circle Insider considered a Match of the Year candidate. He'd continue competing, mainly at house shows, for next few months.

Foster was announced for the debut episode of the post-WCE takeover show Premier League Wrestling in April 2019, being given the privilege of opening the show with a victory over Johnny Fraser, in the 1st Round of the tourney to determine the first WCE Junior Heavyweight Champion. He'd lose out in the semis to Grayson Gage, however.

Following this, he'd begin facing and dispatching different invite talent on PRIZE shows, including AXL's Karl Frocht, JMW's Akira Iguchi and Pro Wrestling Atom's Cid Destini, before his open challenge on Up Front 2019's free pre-show was shockingly answered by WWE superstar Pete Dunne**4**, who'd defeat him to end his winning streak.

He'd win the WCE Junior Heavyweight Championship in August 2019, which had been vacated by Ace, defeating Johnny Fraser in an impromptu title match on PLW. He'd hold the title right up until COVID-19 necessitated the temporary closure of the promotion. This was made permanent in 2021, leading to Foster's release, along with the rest of the roster**5**.

### Exhibition Wrestling: Japan (2021)

In July 2021 Foster joined EW: Japan, in a somewhat shocking move, as a producer and active wrestler. He debuted at a show a few days after confirming the move, confronting Japanese Champion Daichi**6**.

## Trivia

* Foster is something of a prankster backstage, according to trainer Simon Lowe. This led to some trouble with other members of the locker room, including Mikey Ace, and affected his early run in PRIZE**7**.

## Behind-the-Scenes/Notes

1. He was actually one of, if not the, first CAWs designed for the "new generation" in PRIZE.
2. This is purely narrative; Foster was specifically designed for PRIZE.
3. In truth, I had issues with his move-set that held the CAW back, and just wanted a narrative reason for replacing him while I resolved them.
4. I recorded this as an early test of the feasibility of having actual shows with my own commentary. It went okay, I think.
5. This happened entirely for narrative purposes after I'd already moved on from PRIZE, to explain their absence with whatever I do in 2K22.
6. This is to keep him occupied elsewhere.
7. This was initially just the narrative reasoning mentioned in point 2, but it eventually shaped his whole persona, backstage.

**Note:** Eagle-eyes viewers of my pages will probably notice that I reused the origina face texture from Virgil Baker for Foster. This was because **a)** it was a good texture, and I'm not wasteful and **b)** I didn't plan to bring Baker over to PRIZE because he was "happy" where he was, and not really a fit for my new generation. Baker has since had a new texture applied, and Foster would- if brought over- likely also have a new one made.
