Kenneth George Doane,(born March 16, 1986)[3] is an American professional wrestler currently signed to World Wrestling Entertainment wrestling on its SmackDown! brand under the ring name Kenny Dykstra[4].
Early Career
Doane made his professional wrestling debut in 2001 at the age of fifteen[1]. He started his professional wrestling career in the New England area under the name "Broadway" Kenn Phoenix[5]. He was later trained by legendary professional wrestler and trainer Killer Kowalski[1]. After being contacted by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) he was asked to make appearances for their developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW).
World Wrestling Entertainment
RAW
Doane made his first national television appearance in WWE at the age of 17 on the May 12, 2003 episode of WWE Raw, from Philadelphia, as Ken Phoenix. Along with his brother, Mike Phoenix, he was a participant in Rodney Mack's ongoing "5-Minute White Boy Challenge" where Mack would defeat Caucasian wrestlers in under 5 minutes. Mack defeated the pair in 1:31, forcing them both to submit to his new Blackout finishing hold[6]. He made another appearance, losing to Lance Storm on an episode of Sunday Night Heat[7] before being officially signed to a developmental deal and assigned to OVW full time on June 4, 2004[1].
After two years in OVW, Doane debuted on Raw as a member of the Spirit Squad[8]. The Squad became closely associated with The McMahons and would feud with DX[9] and Ric Flair[10], as well as hold the World Tag Team Championship as a team[11].
After the breakup of the Spirit Squad, Kenny became interested in joining Rated-RKO (Edge and Randy Orton), who insisted that he "prove himself" first[12]. During this time, Doane would debut new attire, new theme music, and the last name "Dykstra"[4], and continued the feud with Ric Flair that led to the breakup of the Spirit Squad, managing to pick up three straight victories over Flair before finally losing to him[1]. After the feud with Ric Flair, Dykstra would become a mainstay on RAW's sister show Heat, having feuds with Eugene and Val Venis.
SmackDown!
He then formed a tag team with Johnny Nitro, but the duo was spilt when Kenny was drafted to SmackDown! on June 17, 2007 as part of the WWE Supplemental Draft and Nitro was drafted to ECW later that day..[13].

Personal information
Doane is engaged to WWE Diva Mickie James.[2]
In early July 2006, a man named James Wilson claimed that Doane and his fiancee, Mickie James were in a car when he approached them for an autograph. According to Wilson, James was friendly and signed his poster but Doane grabbed it and sped off, tearing the poster and causing him to fall and injure his shoulder. As a result Doane was charged with assault, battery, and vandalism. WWE officials offered Wilson autographs, but he refused, and said that he wanted money from Doane. [14]
Doane has a signature designed tattoo on his upper bicep.
